Frankly I don't think there's a difference between us going 3-9 for a 5th straight year or going 0-11. 

Maybe just a one-game difference... ;)

I think they'll finish 0-12. Hawaii was the one winnable game on their schedule. Unless they find a massively transformative QB -- and I think between Luck and Reich, they already thought they had him in Gulbranson -- they're toast.  

New prediction: Stanford will be out of football within five years.

How ironic that Andrew Luck's verbal emphasis on "commitment" to football is splashed all over slick videos on GoStanford.com. The fault-line of Stanford's athletic future is university's historical ambivalence and ambiguity when it comes to genuine commitment to big-time football. Sure, Stanford talks a big-time game. It lives something less. As of this moment, it's hurtling on a path right off a cliff. I've always said that it didn't have to be this way. I no longer believe it. You are what your record says you are.
