Watched a good chunk of the Stanford-Washington game, too. Their offense has issues, which hopefully remain unresolved by Saturday. Defense is lights out (though I'm not sure they've played an offense as versatile as ours). I think we win, but I think it's fairly low-scoring and close. Say, 17-13.

This is the kid with the kind of story I wish good luck. I hope he makes it out, and I hope he makes as much of the next five years as possible.

And I hope he makes the grade and can qualify at ND!

Cold, rainy, great defenses... Field posession and FG kicking will be big in this game. IMO, we have an advantage because their kicker does not get it to the end zone on kickoffs. Big returns will be key for us.

Ya, but we're screwed if Brindza can't get it deep in the end zone or get good hang time. Montgomery is probably the best return man in the country.

How the heck are we going to stop Montgomery, Cajuste and that little speedy WR?

Let's hope the cold doesn't hamper his leg too much.

I'm not saying we are not good because we are! However, I do not believe we are a top 10 team (yet). If we take care of Stanford then so be it. Stanford by far is our toughest test yet. I'm interested to see us play a hard nosed and very disciplined team. Should be a good game. If we can't get our run game figured out it will be a loss but if we can be balanced and dominate the line of scrimmage then I see us winning with no problem.

GO IRISH!!

Ahhhhh yes my Appalachian trail journey. I am back. Have been for awhile. Just sucks getting acclimated back into society. But I met an awesome girl and its time to settle down in my life. Good to be back.

Gotta be fucking kidding me... do they seriously not do flu shots for the entire team?

If there are any two people you don't want with the flu for Stanford it's Day and Jones.

This is setting up to be a worst case scenario type of "conditions" heading into the game... sickness, weather, etc.

Add Sheldon Day to the flu bug group.

I should add that I got this from a friend of a friend of a friend so it's not the most solid of sources but it's probably true. And Ronnie Stanley who was already mentioned.

On the weather.....

Accuweather has the rain going for, at most, one hour with less that 1/10 of an inch of rain. The rain doesn't change things if that forecast is accurate.

unfortunately the flu vaccine is only for 1 strain of the flu when there are 100's
