I doubt Harbaugh becomes an institution at Stanford - he’ll go elsewhere eventually.

As an SC fan, I hope he sticks around a bit - I’d hate to miss a chance to pay him back for that 2-pt conversion attempt. Stanford gets teams like this once a decade, USC will be back.

He takes an NFL job or waits out te inevitable Rich Rod canning in Ann Arbor.

Brooks, is your whine made from sour grapes?

This is kind of like the USC coach who, upon failing miserably in the pros, hit it big in college, then said he wanted to stay (after they threw more money at him). Whether he stays or not, they sure kicked USC’s asses. Pretty funny considering the average salary of a USC starter is???? Oh, that’s right, the coach didn’t know Reggie Bush was living in a mansion. I don’t like or hate either school, but it’s always nice when a team like Northwestern, Vanderbilt or Stanford is able to beat teams whose players dance through classes and make a mockery of college. I’m not saying they have to get straight A’s, but it’s pretty funny when you look at the “salary cap” of a USC, etc..

By the way, Brooks, regarding your Lakers, ever heard the phrase “better lucky than good” in the past? Lakers were on their way to a first round knockout until Houston lost yet another top scoring starter, and they waltzed by the Magic who were down their all-star point guard. Gee, I wonder what would’ve happened if the Lakers lost one of their top two scorers? Wait, I know…”Trade me” — Kobe Mr. Loyal Bryant.

Wishful thinking by disheartened Trojans?

Tedford’s my curse, so the sooner Jimmy hits the door, the better in my book. I’m not looking forward to Saturday’s game…..

But, I think Harbaugh’s got more time at Stanford before he hits the NFL.

I think he was smart to be looking elsewhere at the start of the year. January was pretty funky in Palo Alto, and nobody was feeling it much ’cause the program didn’t generate alum interest except for the occassional upset, even through the start of this season. Christ, Stanford put his contract extension “on hold” at the start of the year.

A spotty start to the season, but somebody plugged the cord in the socket in October and Stanford is playing the football that alumni love, hands down. Fun to watch, and if he tightens up the defense, it could be a very good team.

So now the money will come, and Harbaugh’s a pig in sh*t…. $70k crappers are nothing compared to what could come down the pike.
