08:29 AM ET 07.30 | The Pac-10/12 may be full of surprises going forward. [Gaining respect] in the past year is Stanford. Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh was clearly the most fired up for fall camp -- like the Ducks and Beavers, the Cardinal will begin on Aug. 9 -- and he bubbled over when he was asked how his team can sustain the success that led it to a 6-3 Pac-10 record last season. "We're not sustaining a gosh-darn thing," Harbaugh said. "We despise the word sustaining. We despise the word satisfaction."

"Gosh darn" always fires me up too. Go get em, Jim!

I actually agree with Harbaugh here. 6-3 is nice, but you should be striving to improve to 7-2 or 8-1, not just sit back and be happy with 6-3. However, "despising" the word satisfaction is just begging for a witty person to make some sort of joke. Unfortunately, I'm not witty enough.

Not sure it will happen that fast, but seems like a good fit. Rich Rod is definitely not "fitting in" up there in Big-10 country.

He can't get no satisfaction.

Wonder how Sam can turn this into a 'Bama thread? Something about the only satisfaction is when Alabama wins their 30TH NC....

Ducks, Beavers, and Cardinals. LOL. Definitely the west coast.

Do not worry the east coast makes the west coast laugh too. Even one of the bird schools trys to be tough "the g a m e **** s", what do they do not wear jockstraps or something? Just an old rooster trained to fight in w a n k e r fight. Makes me think of all those puffed up leather wearing old fat guys in lower manhatten, so far removed from modern culture and social interaction that they are almost hip again "almost" until you talk to them and realize how completely ignorant they are.

Uhm, I doubt that. Harbaugh isn't Michigan worthy. He might bring some controversy too just like Rod did. Ha, but I don't care. I'm a Buckeyes fan.(:

Stanford has been lucky. They just lost their running back to the NFL draft. He was their best player. I don't think Stanford is going to have another player like him. That's just too bad.(:

Thanks, fellahs... Now, inside my head, the refrain of 10th Avenue Freeze Out is repeating like a skipping record, only, the lyrics are, "Split Beaver Fold-Out!"

I cant disagree since I'm not on the east but, seriously, major fail if you think Manhattan is far removed from modern culture. Talk about ingnorant.

I thought he was talking about Manhattan, KS.
That's "east coast", right?
