"The platform is yours", Caydance said to Griff. They were on their way to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She meant that the ratio of art talk to football talk had been surprisingly in art talk favor, and that she would be happy to hear more about the imminent arrival of the Cougars at Stanford Stadium.

"Let's begin with how when Coach James heard that Jim Walden would be the next head coach for archrival Washington State, he said we should be prepared for words. I was gone when Walden took the WSU helm, but I heard that their President kept a disclaimer ready that said 'The opinions of Coach Walden do not necessarily reflect the stance of the WSU administration.' So, this week Stanford Daily reporter John Lis tells us that Coach Walden doesn't think anyone has linebackers as good as our Dave Wyman and Barry McKeever. But Coach Jack warns that the Cougars have both the pass and the running game, and on every play they'll keep us guessing. What with their quarterback, Ed Blount, and USC quarterback, Rodney Peete, who beat us last week, the Pac10 has great black quarterbacks. I heard that Blount dreamed this year's Cougars' upset win over USC. Dream omens or not, his stats look real good. Meanwhile at Stanford, last week's loss has generated offensive energy. Damn, we're at the Museum."
