Week in Review
(Week ending 10/14/01)
JJ made a strong come-back as a Bootleg writer with
his Opening
Day of Baseball Fall Practice. He likes the looks of our new
freshmen pitchers and also predicts a big season for Sam Fuld.
Tree Boy produces his weekly BootPowerRatings,
where we found Stanford still at the top - probably not for long
one suspects.
Once again, Chad and Hulk released an updated version of their
Stanford
Football Recruiting 2002 table. Check out the latest in our
ongoing recruiting battles.
In The
Next Great Thing - A Closer Look, terry gave us a very
thorough statistical analysis of Washington State's season
to-date, showing that some of their gaudy numbers may have been
racked up against inferior opponents.
In Just
Call Him Lazarus, Mark DeVaughn takes a close look at WSU and
the test that this team would provide for the Cardinal.
On Friday, Tree Boy once again put together a Kibbles &
Bits piece. Did you know that Stanford is averaging 23.2
yards per punt return while our opponents have only averaged 9.5
yards?
Also on Friday, the Posts of the
Week were released. Outstanding posts by Genuine Realist,
Boston Card, 51 Dave and CardFan were recognized.
Someone had to do it - write the game recap from our first
loss of the season, that is. ME-97 was forced into action and
filed this
report from the WSU game.
ME-97 also gave us the updated
BootPool standings. RMOTKING won the week (picking 9 of 11
games against the spread) and continues to lead in the cumulative
standings.
The
Insiders new Top 25 Football Poll was released. Miami took
over at #1 and Stanford stayed in the top 25 (at #23). WSU moved
all the way up to #15!
Finally, stan4hoops gave us the first
basketball practice report of the year. He especially liked
the Green Machine, Julius and Kyle.
