The Rule of Tree Guide to the Stanford Football offseason

Stanford's 2015 football season came to a close on New Year's Day and while the season ended with a blowout victory in the Rose Bowl, some may feel that they wished the 2015 season never ended. That is how many people felt in 2010, 2012, and even with two tough bowl losses, 2011 and 2013 as well. Stanford is going through its best football years since before World War II. In the last six seasons, Stanford has won 66 games with David Shaw owning 54 of those, produced a once in a generation NFL prospect in Andrew Luck, a quarterback that would eventually break many of Lucks' records and produce his own in Kevin Hogan, recruit a running back who I truly feel was made in a laboratory in Christian McCaffrey, an Orange Bowl Victory, 3 Rose Bowl appearances going 2-1, and a partridge in a pear tree.
