Cal's current coach Justin Wilcox fits that mold. He's an Oregon alum who was a 3 year starter. He's been up and down at Cal but beat Stanford and USC this year.
Horrifying. Literally, a solider who'd lost both arms and legs and so needed to be carried around in a basket. Apparently common enough that they invented a term for it:
The tailgating scene is a lot of fun and in a very picturesque spot among the trees right next to the stadium on campus. It'll be hopping for the Oregon game. Give yourself some time to explore campus too--worth the visit to the main quad and Memorial Chapel. You might consider riding Caltrain down if you're staying in SF. There's a special stadium stop for game days, and you can pregame on the train. Palo Alto is far more laid back than Ann Arbor on gamedays--half the people you'll run into won't even know there's a game.
Really? Because he had a university to run. Covering for an incompetent AD should not normally be part of his job. And when it became clear he had to (on Tuesday after the 1am Brandon announcement), he issued a statement more compelling than anything to come out of AD's mouth in the previous year. How do you not remember this?:
"As the leader of our university community, I want to express my extreme disappointment in the events surrounding the handling of an on-field injury to one of our football players, Shane Morris. The health and safety of our entire student community, including all of our student-athletes, is my most important responsibility as university president.
I have been in regular discussion regarding this incident and its aftermath with Athletic Director David Brandon and the Board of Regents. I support the immediate protocol changes that the department's initial assessment has identified. I have instructed the Athletic Department to provide me, the Board of Regents, and other campus leaders with a thorough review of our in-game player safety procedures, particularly those involving head injuries, and will involve experts from the University of Michigan Health System in assessing its medical aspects.
Despite having one of the finest levels of team medical expertise in the country, our system failed on Saturday. We did not get this right and for this I apologize to Shane, his family, his teammates, and the entire Michigan family. It is a critical lesson to us about how vigilant and disciplined we must always be to ensure student-athlete safety. As president, I will take all necessary steps to make sure that occurs and to enforce the necessary accountability for our success in this regard.
Our communications going forward will be direct, transparent and timely. The University of Michigan stands for the highest level of excellence in everything we do, on and off the field. That standard will guide my review of this situation and all the University's future actions.
My thanks go to the many members of the University community who have taken the time to express their thoughts."

Retire? He's only 48.
That video is from 2016. So, while he was already at Michigan. He refers to Stanford in the past tense.
Yes, it's called the Kibbie Dome. It's more famous for hosting the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival every year in February.
Was one of the three no votes Texas?
Gary Moeller was the head coach that season, not Carr.

Did you really just call the EU "totalitarian" in a thread about the horrors of war in Europe? Irony is dead.
