It gets harder every single year. The end of the school year means it’s time to say goodbye to another class of Stanford student-athletes.
Fisher: Enjoy your retirement, Josh Nunes
We’ll never be sure exactly what would’ve happened if you made a few more completions against Washington or Notre Dame, or if Nottingham beat you out in camp. But what we do know is that it all worked out.
