Stanford nearly duplicated Cal's offensive output @ Kansas today. The Bears tallied 39 points and the Cardinal only notched 40. Stanford lost and scored less than 50 points in back-to-back games for the 1st time since 1976! Only Lili Thompson scored in double figures with 14 points while no other Cardinal scored more than 6...Unbelievable. What happened to Amber Orrange and Bre Samuelson? Furd is now 6-4 on the season and should no longer be ranked.

Really?? 3 of their losses against top 10 teams and the other loss against Chattanooga Tenn was on the road and alson have beaten UTenn too. Added the fact that they beat UConn the #1 team. Yes, they might no longer be in the top 10 but not ranked at all...ridiculous!

Stanford is not that good ... they don't have an elite player for the first time this century, and it shows.

Will they win some big games? Yes. Do they have the talent to win the Pac-12? No -- and in fact, I'm not sure they're in the top four.

Tara still has it!

Stanford struggled against Utah today. I really think Cal has a shot at sweeping the Furd. Anyone see the Ucla score too? ...46 points against Oregon!! Yikes

I said before Close and her staff were doing a great job recruiting and they have. I also said let's see her coach them and make them winners. She hasn't. Many loyal Bruin fans are saying it will take time. And it might well take a while. Others are getting unhappy realizing recruiting is only 1 piece of the puzzle.

^^Recruiting rankings also mean jack once you get to college ball. Our (7th/10th ranked) Freshman class has a big fat A in my book.

As I tell my own players, the best thing about freshmen is that next year they're sophomores.

I wouldn't count UCLA out yet ...

As for Stanford, they'll be a tough out, but they don't have more talent than everyone as they have had in the past.
