This was the worst in perhaps 40 years. Notre Dame humiliated the Cardinal by 49 points Thursday and it could have been much more glaring. Stanford simply does not have anything close to the talent it once possessed. The program, now in the hands of Kate Paye, a former Stanford player and an ex-Menlo School standout, reached an unfortunate nadir this week. Paye is faced with a big rebuilding job for a one-time signature West Coast women's program. Ouch.
