Despite VG coaches like Green, Harbaugh, Walsh, Warner, Elway, and Shaw, and elite players at every position over the years, they haven't even played for the NC in anyone's memory (altho they have contended in some seasons). It mystifies me as to why. Perhaps it is the uneven support they get from their fans (unless it's USC, Cal or ND in town). Ultimately I think it's the culture in Palo Alto, and I don't mean that as disparaging. I think that whole area for many years has been more pro-oriented. And you can't blame them. Now when it comes to Olympic sports it is a whole different animal.
