We enjoyed having them at Stanford and wish them the very best. This one seems to make sense and is hardly surprising. The Harbaughs put the Hilltoppers on the map, with Willie's help as an outstanding player. Opens up a sweet opportunity for a new running backs coach!

Cal won. We shoulda and coulda, but they did. The Bootleg's Scott Cooley looks at the 112th Big Game, one that could have been one for the ages, but instead produced fits and rages. Beat the Irish! http://stanford.scout.com/2/922591.html Scott Cooley http://stanford.scout.com/2/922591.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:34:00 GMT 1 18 Stanford stanford Sure, it was a "team loss', but The Bootleg would like a better explanation as to why we chose to throw the ball rather that feed relentless All-American Toby Gerhart, who in all likelihood would have scored his fifth rushing touchdown and provided the Cardinal with a stirring comeback win in the 112th Big Game. Count us among those who don't undertsand... http://stanford.scout.com/2/922194.html Scott Cooley http://stanford.scout.com/2/922194.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:10:00 GMT 1 18 Stanford stanford Men's Hoops Editor Ray Salloom provides the Bootleg faithful a look at the game flow, stats, and facts after Stanford cruised to a 99-69 win over the Florida A&M Rattlers at Maples Pavilion on Saturday afternoon. Read on and see how the Cardinal used several runs to put away the Rattlers in the first half before leading the rest of the way to their second victory of the season. http://stanford.scout.com/2/922043.html Ray Salloom http://stanford.scout.com/2/922043.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:55:00 GMT 0 18 Stanford stanford In the spirit of the Big Game rivalry, and showing pure impartiality, we thought it was only right to randomly select and recall an historical Big Game from the past. The Bootleg's Mark DeVaughn threw darts against the wall and lo and behold, we chose one of the most satisfying beat-downs in the 111-game series to date. Read how the Cardinal stomped and stamped the Bears in Year One of Walsh II. http://stanford.scout.com/2/921980.html Mark DeVaughn http://stanford.scout.com/2/921980.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:50:00 GMT 1 18 Stanford stanford We at Bet the Farm don’t personally remember being put on timeout as young kids – and maybe that explains a lot – but everyone knows that’s exactly what a parent does when his child misbehaves. After a horrific weekend two Saturdays ago, Bet the Farm put itself on timeout (and sat silently in the corner for five minutes for good measure). We’re back now: can we return to our winning ways? http://stanford.scout.com/2/921560.html Daniel Novinson http://stanford.scout.com/2/921560.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:36:00 GMT 0 18 Stanford stanford When Oak Mountain High School tight end Davis Dudchock committed to Vanderbilt back in late June, he did so because, “It was the right choice for me at the time.” But as the 2009 college football season got underway and signing day neared, Dudchock realized that he had made a premature decision... http://stanford.scout.com/2/921521.html Andy Drukarev http://stanford.scout.com/2/921521.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:40:00 GMT 0 18 Stanford stanford Every Cardinal player parent was pigskin-proud this past week as the Cardinal absolutely aced its semi-final exams in Los Angeles last weekend while dismantling "that think tank on Figueroa". No grade inflation here whatsoever - Dave Fowkes tells it like it is after one of the historic wins in school history. Now we need to maintain that superb GPA against California in the Big Game. Axe Oski! http://stanford.scout.com/2/921410.html Dave Fowkes http://stanford.scout.com/2/921410.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:06:00 GMT 1 18 Stanford stanford Men's Hoops Editor Ray Salloom provides the Bootleg faithful a look at the game flow, stats, and facts after Stanford's tough 83-81 loss at the hands of Oral Roberts at Maples Pavilion on Wednesday night. Read on to see exactly how the Cardinal were able to come back from a double-digit deficit early and an eight-point margin late, but unable to prevent Oral Roberts from winning at the buzzer. http://stanford.scout.com/2/921250.html Ray Salloom http://stanford.scout.com/2/921250.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:53:00 GMT 0 18 Stanford stanford At The Bootleg we view it as an important part of our mission to share with our community the rich history and heritage of our Stanford athletic programs. While there've been many great games among the 111 to date, one of the best was surely the famous 20-20 tie in 1924, in which unlikely heroes rallied to lead the Cardinal to a stirring comeback and "avoided defeat" by the Dirty Golden Bears. http://stanford.scout.com/2/921343.html John Breier http://stanford.scout.com/2/921343.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:51:00 GMT 0 18 Stanford stanford In Stanford's bread-and-butter play, power, it's a guard who has arguably the toughest assignment: pull around the center, beat the defender to the point of attack, block him out of the way and make the play work. It stands to reason then that guard Andrew Phillips deserves as much credit as anyone for making Stanford's 2009 offense click, and Wyndam Makowsky sits down with him this week. http://stanford.scout.com/2/921071.html Wyndam Makowsky http://stanford.scout.com/2/921071.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:24:00 GMT 0 18 Stanford stanford Remember the movie “Office Space”? Remember the scene where Peter, Michael, and Samir spend an afternoon beating the crap out of the printer that had stood in their way one too many times? And then it cuts to the three of them doing some vengefully giddy, drunkenly goofy celebratory dance afterwards? http://stanford.scout.com/2/921068.html Troy Clardy http://stanford.scout.com/2/921068.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:03:00 GMT 0 18 Stanford stanford When Stanford linebacker commit Jordan Zumwalt made the short trip to the L.A. Memorial Coliseum to watch Stanford and USC battle last weekend, he surely wasn’t expecting to witness a blowout of historic proportions... http://stanford.scout.com/2/921078.html Andy Drukarev http://stanford.scout.com/2/921078.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:59:00 GMT 1 18 Stanford stanford The media was out in full force Monday in San Francisco as reporters crawled over Coach Harbaugh, Heisman front-runner (at least in our minds) Toby Gerhart, and a couple of random representatives from the "Evil Empire of the East Bay". Read on for the latest themes and dreams as we head toward Saturday's looming match-up of ranked rivals in the no longer "friendly" confines of Stanford Stadium! http://stanford.scout.com/2/920748.html Mel Nelson http://stanford.scout.com/2/920748.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:00 GMT 1 18 Stanford stanford As we celebrate Big Game Week in 2009, we'd be remiss if we failed to honor the 50th Anniversary (unfortunately in this case a "Golden" Anniversary) of the greatest passing performance by a quarterback in the 111 football games played in the storied rivalry between Stanford and California. We also honor the late local sportswriter Dave Wik, upon whose story we felt we would struggle to improve! http://stanford.scout.com/2/920521.html The late Dave Wik http://stanford.scout.com/2/920521.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:14:00 GMT 0 18 Stanford stanford He's baaaaaaaaaack! A season of Stanford men's hoops coverage would be really lacking without the analysis provided by this man, that's for sure! The Bootleg's "Expert Analyst - Guards," former lights-out shooting guard "roscoemaynard" (1984-89) offers up to the Stanford Hoops faithful his review and commentary of the Cardinal's guards following their games at San Diego and at home vs. Cal Poly. http://stanford.scout.com/2/920462.html "roscoemaynard" http://stanford.scout.com/2/920462.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:13:00 GMT 1 18 Stanford stanford This Wed., November 18th at 5:00PM at The Old Pro's in downtown Palo Alto, YourSports.com is sponsoring a special event - a commercial-free viewing of Stanford's classic 1972 Rose Bowl win over Michigan (13-12). Stanford's former head coach John Ralston will be in attendance along with former Indian players and assorted Stanford red-hots.
