During the game the announcers did a little piece on Stanford's "Turning Point Game". Which makes sense cause they are trying to hype some show on VS about NFL turning point. Any way they showed highlights of Stanford's upset of USC a while back and showed the record before and since. The record before was well below .300 and the record since is reflective of the current state of the program. Seems a pretty pivotal moment.
Stuart had an excelent article at http://www.cuatthegame.com/2011/reflections-at-fifty/ where he mentioned his favorite game, the '86 Nebraska Game. It seems to me that game was our "Turning Point" under coach Mac.
So looking ahead, what will be Embo's Turning Point? The optimist in me would like to point to USC on my birthday this season, however I am sure that is likely too soon. A big ranked team next season? Or Perhaps the next?
I also wonder how will we know when we have reached that win? It is probably something you wont know until well after it is over. I vaguely remember after the Oklahoma upset a few years ago thinking that things were turning around. Obviously I was wrong.
Lets hope it is this season. USC could be good, a big upset to give us some mojo into our easier Nov. schedule. Further wins in Nov. = good showing for recruits = quicker talent upgrade= early non con wins= better play in a home game heavy conference schedule= national championship in 7 years?
Hey a man can dream cant he.
Go Buffs!
