Hey, I'm a Raider fan, too, but I don't want to have to eat all the crow
generated by your flames if such a prediction turns out to be incorrect.
The Raiders have a particularly poor record in the Kingdome, should they
end up playing a game there.  Their record on the road in AFC championship
games is somethng like 1-5.

The Raiders are playing well, and in spite of having to play lots of
games on the road, I'd give them as good a shot at being at Stanford in
January as anyone else in the AFC.  But I think it's a little premature
to count the chickens quite yet.  If you're really convinced the Raiders
will be there, how 'bout offering to cover all even-money bets as to
whether they'll be there.  I bet you'd have a lot of takers.

Being a Stanford grad, I kind of like John Elway.  By the way, what school
did "good ole' Jim P." go to?

Sportcasters and journalists notwithstanding, I believe that Stanford is
incorporated as Stanford, CA, and is distinct from Palo Alto.  That being
the case the 1985 Super Bowl will NOT be played in Palo Alto.  (Can
anyone currently at Stanford confirm or deny this?)
