Bathroomgate. Humor beats preachy every time

The Chron's Scott Ostler weighs in on Bathroomgate.  Funny how the story plays when the author doesn't have a stick way up his a$$.

Stewart Mandel gives Bathroomgate some press but remains decidedly objective, probably out of disinterest.

• I have a feeling one of these three Pac-10 also-rans from a year ago -- UCLA, Stanford or Arizona State -- is going to sneak into the top three in the final conference standings. I just can't decide which one. The only thing that's certain: Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh will have the added benefit of more peaceful alone time than his competitors. According to San Jose Mercury News columnist Jon Wilner, a wealthy Stanford donor recently paid at least $50,000 for the coach to have his own private bathroom and shower. "It was something I'd asked for,'' said Harbaugh. "It cuts down on drag.

What's wrong with a more aerodynamic coach? Charlie Weis could learn a thing or two here.

I can't figure out what to make of this.  What exactly is Harbaugh referring to?  Did they test the thing in a wind tunnel?  

Huh

You missed the convo in the other thread that referred to football coaches' fanatical devotion to efficient use of time.  Previously, the nearest bathroom to Harbaugh's office was apparently two floors down from his office.  Nice little hike.

Because we can't pay Harbaugh enough, he's also works as a U.S. Air Force consultant. Because the Obama White House has ruled out use of bombs against Iran nukes, the Air Force is testing the effects of all the pilots going potty simultaneously as a squadron of Stealth bombers flies over Teheran. That's why Redrum is so irate: He thinks Jon Wilner is a traitorous scumbucket for blowing the cover on the program.
