This is one of my favorite dynasty threads on this site. Everything from the statistical breakdowns, the photos, and the story telling has been great. Even the small details like the suspense I get from your Texas recruit deciding between TCU, Texas, and Stanford is nice, and I dunno if you even meant to make it suspenseful. :P
Treat a person as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a person as if he were where he could be and should be, and he will become what he could be and should be.
bro, this is like one of them quiet but awesomely amazing dynasty LOL... like you cant just read your dynasty from the last page, you gotta read it from the start of the season, what I like about yours is the recruit stories, good stuff!!!
Poor Washington State. The Cougars are stuck in a black hole of awfulness, with no end in sight. Since 2008, Wazzu is a mind-numbing 9-70, and they've lost 55 of 57 Pac-10/12 games in that span, including 31 conference games in a row. 2014 is just the latest in their misery, as the Cougars once again occupy the conference's cellar in basically every significant offensive and defensive statistic.
WSU has a couple decent parts, including former USC running back DJ Morgan, and former Cal defensive Brennan Scarlett will be eligible next year after transferring, but overall, this squad is just as talent-depleted as the last few, and Stanford should have this one in the bag by halftime.

I gotta agree with everything gorilla said.
I don't comment a lot, but I read every post, every word. It's so in depth, I respect the time you put it!

Cardinal runs over Cougars Even down two tailbacks, Stanford ground game marches on
PALO ALTO, CA - In a sense, this game was a testament to the mentality that now rules over the Stanford football program.
Even with Remound Wright sidelined (more as a precaution) and Kevin Purcell going down in the first half with an injury, the Cardinal's running attack didn't miss a beat as Kelsey Young and Garrett Cason ran wild, leading Stanford to a 72-17 blowout win over hapless Washington State.
Cason ran for 222 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including an 80 yard explosion in the third quarter, while Young added 143 yards and a career high three touchdowns. The rushing attack helped stabilize things after another sketchy defensive start that gave up two first quarter touchdowns.
"We're pretty much at our limits of what we can tinker with, defensively," coach Brian Kudron said. "At this point it's just time for our guys to start seeing the ball. Too often we're just showing poor awareness on the field. The only thing that can fix that now is experience. Thankfully our running game brought it today, especially our O-line. Those guys love it when we tell them to just lock onto a guy and bury him. We told them to do that today, and they did."
Wright was held out due to multiple injuries sustained last week against Washington, and Purcell went down in the second quarter with a chest injury that could keep him out for up to a month.
