Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3999246, member: 5798"] OD, I’m glad you added Stanford to the mix, because they have a great team and a great coach and must be taken seriously. Any talk about legitimate contenders for this year's championship MUST include the Cardinal. Tara knows what to do and how to coach talent when she has it. She’ll have them ready to play when the lights come on. It’s going to be a knock down drag out dog fight in the PAC-12 this year between Stanford, Oregon, UCLA and Arizona. These 4 teams will be the front runners fighting for league supremacy. Since Stanford is the reigning national champion, they are the team with a LARGE target planted "firmly" on their back. No off nights for them this season. Every team they play will give them their best shot. Let’s see how well they stand up to the challenges they’ll face this season. I seriously doubt they go undefeated. Who will be the first team to knock off the champs? Last year this team earned the right to hoist the championship trophy and from it, drink and enjoy the "Nectar of the Gods." This year, they want another sip. Which is more difficult to achieve, winning a championship, or repeating? The Stanford Cardinal are about to find out. :cool: [/QUOTE]
