Don't worry, if Stanford loses to UCLA over the next two weeks, people will be back to dumping on Shaw.
Musburger and Herbstreit were gushing over Stanford's performance throughout the broadcast; I don't know how anyone could think either one of them was avoiding giving any credit to Stanford. I remember some references to fans of ND and a couple of SEC teams being really interested in the outcome (and that 'Bama video is wild), but I can't remember any Big 10 references at all.
What, people really can't see a team like the Raiders taking a run at Shaw next year? (Apparently Davis is on record that their GM and Coach are safe next year.) I don't think it is completely idle speculation.Â
Good programs have coordinators who take HC jobs elsewhere. I don't think it is really practical to expect Bud Fosterish or Nick Alioto-type loyalty on that front.
Great win though. I received a hushed 1 a.m. EST call from JT Jr. Apparently he lost his internet feed right after Williamson missed his first FG attempt. Lights out. 'I can't sleep - what happened?' I think he woke some roommates up. Then he was hacked off by the realization that but for UW and ND; Stanford would be #1 in the BCS. I told him to be glad that now with two wins against UCLA, they are in Pasadena. Then I heard him wondering if the Navy would reimburse him for a flight from LA to Annapolis. (His trip out and back will be paid for by the taxpayers in an attempt to have midshipmen at the Hunger Bowl.)
I received a text from Jacketrette, who was in Corvallis to watch her Be.ars get annihilated in the cold rain. She said the crowd went nuts when they announced the score.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons
