I care about Stanford football. I care about Kal, too, but not in a good way. I'm aware of the whole steel-sharpens-steel trope, where both sides in a competitive series of games only improves the whole conference. But, you know what? I'm more than happy to let us get sharpened by USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon and Notre Dame. But Kal can flounder all it wants without me shedding a tear. The school itself is a very high quality public university with high standards and a mission that serves California. (Except, of course, all the high-tuition paying out of staters who they need to pay the bills) But none of that pertains to the football program other than to make the Kal's football program an embarrassment. And that's fine with me. Let them flounder. I've suffered enough Kal working-class-hero crap to last a lifetime, so feeding it back to them in a humiliating fashion, loss after loss as time goes on doesn't bother me one bit. It appears that Yikes might be moving on. Bummer. I'd like to see him stay because in leaving raises the chances they might hire a good coach. Screw that.
