Last night at whatever they call the stadium (Sun Life Stadium but it'll always be Joe Robbie to me) in Miami, wait Fort Lauderdale, check that Miami Gardens, Florida Stanford football made a statement. Perhaps it was too laud of a statement because every NFL owner and the Michigan Wolverines were left drooling over the outcome. Jim Harbaugh and Andrew Luck helped destruct the ACC champion Virginia Tech Hokies 40-12 outscoring VT 27-0 after the first half. It seems like a foregone conclusion that Harbaugh and Luck will not be on the Farm next season but in Charlotte, San Francisco, Denver and whoever else ponies up. But where does that leave Stanford football?
The little school who produces so many future world leaders and national champions etc. has become a force in the short time Harbaugh was hired from San Diego. Jim Plunkett, Bill Walsh and Tyrone Willingham are men who led the Cardinal to past success but last night was the school's first BCS win. If the school can't keep their head man at $3 million next year here's hoping they consider giving that to someone else who'll try to keep the school. Late last night in South Florida Harbaugh proclaimed his team champions. Hopefully he stays out west but reality dictates that won't be the case. Whoever is next hopefully has the same spirit and passion or maybe Jim decides the Revenge of the Nerds isn't done yet.
