Stanford Misses Field Goals, Loses Fiesta Bowl In Biggest Choke In Sports H
2012-01-03 07:10:00 Awful. Disappointing. Deflating. Some of the adjectives you could use to describe what has to be the biggest choke in sports history. Tied 38-all with just 3 seconds left, Stanford’s kicker, the redshirt freshman Jordan Williamson, hooked a sure-fire 35-yard field goal wide left. If he hit it, Stanford would have won the 2012 Fiesta (Read More...)

KML Rescues UConn In 68-58 Win Over Stanford
2011-11-22 04:10:00 There's nothing like an early season matchup of two heavyweights to see where your team stands. That's why these early season matchups are good for a team. And on Monday night, we saw where the UConn Huskies women's basketball team is. If you're UConn head coach Geno Auriemma you're not totally happy but got a nice glimpse of the future. With UConn unable to find the basket early on, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis came off the bench to get the Huskies going. And going she did as her 25 points helped them to a 68-58 win over the Stanford Cardinal in front of 13,771 at the XL Center in Hartford, CT. UConn improves to 3-0 on the young season while the Cardinal fall to 3-1. It was the second straight game in which KML scored 25 points and she added eight rebounds. Bria Hartley, who combined with KML to score 30 of UConn's 32 first half points, finished the evening with 19 points, three rebounds and four assists. Tiffany Hayes had a rough shooting night like the rest of her team going 3-of...

Notre Dame Season In Review - Stanford
2011-01-30 07:38:00 Sometimes you just get trucked. Not to immediately mix metaphors (I just happen to really like the term 'trucked'), but in the grueling climb that is an FBS college football season; there are slip-ups; mistakes and errors that seems preventable in retrospect. The job of a head coach and his staff are to minimize these occurrences over the course of the year, so that the team could reach its potential. However, at other times, superior teams crush inferior times...and there' s not much to be done about it. Luckily, where I fail, a clip from The Muppets succeeds at illuminating this concept.
David Shaw Stanford Football's New Head Coach
2011-01-13 22:11:00 It's rare that I get a text from my buddy and Stanford Football and Baseball Legend Michael Dotterer, but I got one for the third time in as many weeks. The first one was regarding the Stanford Orange Bowl game; the second about Jim Harbaugh to the San Francisco 49ers as their head guy, now this one was about Stanford's new head coach, David Shaw. But it had some spice to it. Press Conference at 1:30pm PST to announce Coach Shaw as our next Head Football coach!!!! Soooo excited!!!!!!! Those of you reading this who know the former Stanford Fullback, are aware that Dotterer can get excited over a full moon, but in all the years I've known him, this is the first time he's expressed that much joy over a new Stanford coach. But this is for good reason. David Shaw, the now former Offensive Coordinator for the Stanford Cardinal, is a brilliant coach. ESPN tried, for some weird reason, to toss water on his selection - and I will state that out of 66 NCAA Division 1 Football Pro...

Notre Dame Defense vs. Stanford: Analysis, Breakdown & JUDGMENT!
2010-09-28 11:00:00 Justin gave the offense the big F in his analysis, leaving me with the group that was more on the uninspiring side than the "let's burn our posters of them, cry, and play our sister's Joshua Radin CDs while doing so" side; the defense. I know leniency isn't expected when analyzing the D after a 37-14 loss, but perhaps I watched too many 2007 games in person to yield out the harsh grades too easily. If I give an F now, how do I react to the inevitably 38-0 loss a few weeks later? I can't take that risk! Justin went with the raw stats, and I love templates, so.... 404 total yards 19-32 passing yards for 238 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs 44 rushes for 168 yards, 1 TD 1 recovered fumble 5-5 field goals 0 sacks, 3 QB hits 11 of 16 3rd down conversions 36:25 time of possession, 76 plays Thoroughly weird: not huge yardage, and certainly not great efficiency. Plenty of turnovers. But no pressure on the quarterback and an inability to get off the field spells doom...also their offens...
Notre Dame/Brian Kelly Post-Stanford press conference wrap-up
2010-09-27 08:15:00 How does one sum up a loss where your team get sandblasted at home, and do so in a way that actually convinces people you'll ever win a game again? Apparently by using the term 'battle' 700 times over the course of 12 minutes. Highlights after the jump:
Notre Dame-Stanford: Good, Bad, & Ugly Recap
2010-09-26 10:00:00 In their first matchup versus a ranked opponent, and perhaps their first game against a team not rife with fatal flaws, the Irish were obliterated, and completely physically dominated 37-14 at home by Stanford. Some sections of Good, Bad, & Ugly are going to be shorter than others.
Live Game Notre Dame vs. Stanford Tweets @OnDownTheLineND
2010-09-25 15:00:00 There aren't that many things the fellas of On Down The Line do well. A prime example of this would be dealing with loss. After the Michigan State game, some of us drank angrily, some of us compulsively cleaned the kitchen, but most of us went to sleep muttering to ourselves despondently. One thing that we are good at...is live-game tweeting during Notre Dame football games. A strange and unprofitable skill, but that doesn't make us any less awesome at it.
Stanford Preparation: How We Can Take a Chainsaw to the Cardinal
2010-09-24 08:00:00 So maybe this years team is an improved version of last year's, or maybe their crappy teams this year were just even crappier than last years, leading to their current +104 point spread. That's a rate approaching the '95 Cornhusker mark of +38.75 points per game, and I don't think Harbaugh has quite gotten his team to that level. The question, of course, is how will Notre Dame fare?
Stanford QB Andrew Luck: Your 2011 NFL #1 Pick?
2010-09-23 20:33:00 It's hard to decide what's better about Stanford Quarterback Andrew Luck as a NFL prospect, possibly the #1 NFL Draft prospect,- his strong arm, excellent read-and-recognitions, quickness and mobility, poise and intelligence on the field or his excellent standing off of it. In preparation for his match-up with Luck and his Stanford teammates this week, Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly discussed what impresses him most about the redshirt quarterback. "He was hitting the wide field, go route, intermediate, and the thing that really got my attention is his ability to run. I think he had a 50 something yard run for a touchdown. So his ability, his escapability, I didn't know what it was. I now know what it...

2009-03-02 18:31:00 Click here to listen.Michelle Wie's high hopes were dashed once again as she struggled against the wake of the tide which Angela Stanford created as she plowed through on the back nine at the SBS Open. Expectations, as we have seen time-and-time-again, have a way of throwing this game of golf into turmoil instead of doing what Stanford did by "just having so much fun." Michelle Wie version 2.0 is still very much a work in progress.The battle between the two was exciting and proved that, although Wie has much work to do on her mental game in order to shift focus from competing to winning, her optimism and greatly improved swing will serve her, and the LPGA Tour, well this year. Any threat so far to Lorena Ochoa?

This time there was no exemption, no secure feeling that Wie would just arrive and everyone would cater to her every whim. Michelle was on her own and at the end of a grueling week it felt as liberating as "high school graduation".Wie has clearly been offered the easy route throughout her career but that isn?t necessarily the best way to attain a goal. It can make you soft, easily distracted and can weaken your determination, as it did to Michelle, being given fifty-three exemptions over the past seven years as well as contracts through Sony, Nike and Omega.Her drive was replaced with crybaby fits, deciding how best to leave an event and how to blame everyone but herself if the weather or the situation was uncooperative.

Maryland Terrapins women's basketball run ended by Stanford
2008-04-02 04:04:00 The Maryland Terrapins' #1 seed offered no protection in the NCAA women's basketball tournament Monday night as they were eliminated by #2 seed Stanford. Candice Wiggins scored 41 points in leading the Cardinal to the high-scoring upset of Maryland, 98-97. Kristi Toliver scored a career high 35 points herself for the Terrapins but was only left to score after Stanford had shut down senior center Crystal Langhorne, limited to 13 points for the game.----Stanford took a 51-41 lead into halftime and later expanded the deficit to 17 at 73-56 before the Terps comeback fell short. The Pacific 10 regular season and tournament champions hit 14 three-pointers on the night.Thus, Maryland's season (and the collegiate careers of Laura Harper and Crystaln Langhorne among others) ended late Monday with a still incredible 33 wins and 4 losses. Sadly though, it also ended without the return Final Four bid that had once seeemd this team's birthright.----Relevant links: AP via Yahoo, Baltimore Sun...

Stanford Study: HGH May Build Muscles But Not Boost Athletic Prowess
2008-03-18 03:18:00 Human growth hormone may build muscles - but will it make you a faster, stronger and better athlete? Don't count on it, says a new Stanford University study.An analysis of more than two dozen studies of human growth hormone concludes that drug-induced muscles may look impressive - but they don't perform better. In fact, treatment may even cause impairment."What we found suggested that it didn't help - and at some point, it might hurt," said lead investigator Hau Liu, formerly of Stanford and now at San Jose's Valley Medical Center. The study was published in Monday's issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.There are several large caveats: The studies analyzed by Stanford used doses that are probably far smaller than those taken by athletes. They weren't taken for as long. And they were not part of real-world doping regimens, which typically include steroids, insulin and other agents.Additionally, the Stanford study did not address whether human growth hormone accelerates athl... |
