This game starts at 11:30 PM Central European Time.  I don't think I will be staying up to watch it.  

To illustrate what I, as a Cardinal fan, am willing to do under the right circumstances, I did stay up until 04:00 AM to watch our demolition of Iowa in the 2016 Rose Bowl.  Best night's sleep I ever missed.  Sadly, there is less and less about this program that makes missing valuable hours of sleep worth it.  Still, Go Cardinal!  Get the Axe back! Zzzzzzzzzzz.  

As for Shaw and the hot seat, I fear we will be having this conversation again at the end of the 2023 season. Any questions from the press on this subject will be professionally dismissed.  2-10 anyone?

Chronicle’s Connor Ledterman wrote about Shaw and hot seat in todays green.  First time I’ve seen a Bay Area sports page devote space.  Went down the litany of horrors then the litany of reasons/excuses.  Concludes that he will be back.

Connor Letourneau's piece was the fairest--and most devastating--take any Stanford coach I've ever seen. He also called Shaw out, not that it makes any difference, in the latter's dismissively smug attitude in the media conference. How this guy, this multimillionaire, who professes to love his team, can tromp down the trail like a stubborn mule is beyond comprehension. Great Ambassador, indeed. Team deserves far, far more.
