Menlo, SHP advance in CCS football playoffs
Menlo School on Saturday won its first-ever Central Coast Section football playoff game. Meanwhile, just down the street and at the same time, Sacred Heart Prep's handiwork on both sides of the ball delivered the Gators a playoff victory. The result of both first-round triumphs is a date next week in the semifinals of the CCS Division IV playoffs at a date and neutral site to be determined.

Bells run over Paly in CCS football opener, 34-6

Alix Klineman recorded 23 kills and 10 digs, but it may have been her one assist that helped save the night for the Stanford women's volleyball team on Friday night.

There will be more at stake in Big Game than just the Axe
There have been stranger weeks leading up to the Big Game than this one, but it would be difficult to find. Stanford is favored by a touchdown and who would have thought that at the beginning of the season? California was the nationally-ranked team back then, with dreams of Pac-10 titles and the BCS championship series dancing in its heads. Stanford? The Cardinal would have been lucky to win six games and play in a mid-December bowl game. These days it's the Cardinal that is dreaming of a New Year's Day Bowl.

Stanford's bowl game possibilities looking good
Good afternoon and welcome to the college football show we like to call "What Happens If." It's really rather simple. We predict an outcome, say Stanford beating California this Saturday in the Big Game and try to decipher the possible bowl opportunities.
