Stanford football is going through its “Golden Years.” Stanford hasn’t missed a postseason berth in a decade. David Shaw has more wins than any coach in school history. You would think that is as rosy as it gets, but it’s not. Stanford has put itself in a place where there is no turning back. The goal is to win championships. Not just conference titles, but a national championship. You might point out that Stanford hasn’t won a national championship since the 40s, but nonetheless this is the expectation that Stanford is continuously building toward.
Now I am as Stanford as it gets, but I am also reasonable.
