Sometimes I wonder what it will take for the San Francisco Chronicle to treat the Spartans like a real division I team and then I see stories like this. Basically, it's a Top 10 Bay Area Sports Stories list and SJSU's amazing 9-4 football season doesn't even make honorable mention. What does?


The A's firing Ken Macha (No. 5), the Warriors fire Mike Montgomery (No. 7), Stanford has worst season (No. 10). Really? Those are BIG stories. Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't remember people getting too excited about any of these things. OK, maybe they filled up sports talk radio time, but is that how we're gauging Top 10 now?


My point? The Chron will always treat SJSU like an afterthought. Oh well.
