lots of tears in the Stanford lockerroom after the loss to an unranked Northwestern team...

Palmer went to each and every player's locker, looked the kid in the eye, and reassured the team that they will make the playoffs.

Palmer made his way to the middle of the lockerroom and the team circled around him, players wiping the tears off their cheeks.. Lots of sniffles around the room.

Jesse looked like he was delivering a message from God. His eyes grew wide and bright. 

Then, he spoke.  

"Stanford football."
