4.7KDoes Stanford have the QB, RBs, and defense to avenge last year’s loss to USC?
I learned nothing about Stanford football last week. I already knew they were miles better than UC Davis, and the only question was whether the Aggies would even score — and they didn’t. (Only got across the 50 on the last play of the game.) We’ll know a whole lot more about the Cardinal after […]

20.7K2014 Pac-12 football preview
The most inexperienced Pac-12 head coach is Mark Helfrich, and he’s in charge of the Oregon Ducks, the team many are picking to be the conference’s first representative in the new four-team College Football Playoff. Ten starting quarterbacks return (only Washington and Arizona have new signal-callers). It’s setting up to be a pretty good year […]

4.2KFive potential reasons Shayne Skov signed with the 49ers
At first glance it seems like Shayne Skov chose the bumpiest path to an NFL roster. The former Stanford linebacker may have gone undrafted after posting lackluster workout times (a calf injury kept him out of the combine and a hamstring injury slowed him during his pro day), but multiple teams were interested in his services as […]

3.7K6A look at why Shayne Skov went undrafted and how the NFL views Stanford
I’m going to ask the following question, even if it means putting myself at risk of sounding both lazy and kind of racist at the same time. What does third round pick Chris Borland have that undrafted free agent Shayne Skov doesn’t? From first glance (at their statistics, guys) there doesn’t seem to be much of a […]

2.7K949ers keep team physicians busy with seventh round picks, sign UDFA Shayne Skov
The 2014 NFL Draft is over! And, thankfully, Michael Sam didn’t go undrafted. Sam is now a Ram, as St. Louis took him with the 249th overall pick (there were a total of 256 selections). The 49ers had their chances to land the co-SEC Defensive Player of the Year, but they weren’t interested. It’s probably not because […]

Some media folks have been waiting to tear down Jim Harbaugh since Stanford days
“I guess on a professional note, a personal note, something that stood out in my mind — is just how good it’s been to work with all of you, weekly, monthly during an entire season. And, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, professionally, I want to compliment you on just the way […]

CSN Metrics: June 25-July 1
I have always found what Deadspin did with the “Bristolmetrics” pretty interesting, so I decided to take a page out of their playbook and take a closer look at how much time and to which sports our very own highlight show spends its time on. I set the DVR to record every late night SportsNet […]

49ers order off the menu, take A.J. Jenkins, WR, Illinois
As the San Francisco 49ers’ spot grew closer, the fans on Twitter started freaking out because Coby Fleener and Stephen Hill, the predicted picks du jour for Trent Baalke and Jim Harbaugh, were still available. Also on the board: Reuben Randle and Alshon Jeffery. Yet, as I predicted, the 49ers drafted Jenkins. Ha! Like anyone […]
