Wasn't Jim Harbaugh one of our three finalists when we hired Dodge? What a great game Stanford played against Va Tech tonight!

I believe the finalists were Dodge, Harbaugh, and Jimbo Fisher. But I believe the latter two were out of our price range.

Quoted from a UCLA messageboard post - who didn't specify where they got this from:

Said Oliver Luck, the father of star quarterback Andrew and a former NFL quarterback himself: “In the parents’ section, I sit there with heart surgeons, partners in major law firms – these kids are mostly from affluent families.

“And yet Jim has convinced these kids they are a lunch-pail, unionized, when-in-doubt-hit-somebody kind of team. Prior to Jim, Stanford was considered soft. Now those players smack you in the face. And that’s all Jim.”

A helluva coach, what a turnaround at the Farm.

The Farm?

The Farm:

A Stanford campus nickname, derived from the days when horses rather than students roamed in what previously was the farm of university founders Leland and Jane Stanford.

Interesting tibit.

You are correct, but I don't think he would have worked well here. It appears that he is using helmet stickers at Stanford and just don't think some of the MG Nation could have dealt with that.

He has done a great job with Stanford. It sounds like he may be on to greener pastures, but I would certainly rather see him stay at Stanford that to go to Michigan.

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
