I love Stanford football because I love Stanford football, not (solely) because I love watching a winning team.  Many years of fandom before Harbaugh came along drilled that into me.  Of course, I love when Stanford wins, get pissed when Stanford loses, and can become a touch despondent when we don't look so good losing as has been the case the last two weeks.  But thick or thin I am still a fan, I will still watch and live comment here for the game against Notre Dame, and am still stubbornly optimistic that we will somehow pull out a win against another team that is struggling this year.  Despite the occasional setback, I still think we are in the midst of a golden age of Stanford football, and that even if this year isn't great, the long-term outlook for the team is outstanding.  He may drive me nuts sometimes punting from the opponents 40 yard line on 4th and short, but I still love Shaw and hope he sticks around for a long time.  I doubt that there is a coach who could do better here out there, and there almost certainly isn't one who could do better and would stay for the long term.

So Go Stanford!
