Roasted on GameDay

After the Pac-12 segment on GameDay they showed the Washington State flag in the crowd (283rd consecutive GameDay appearance for Ol’ Crimson) and then Rece Davis roasted us:

“They play Stanford today. Did you guys hear that the guy who’s in the Tree costume at Stanford got suspended because he held up a sign that says ‘Stanford Hates Fun’? Well you know what? Stanford apparently does hate fun, and if the fun’s in the winning, well, Stanford doesn’t know what fun is anymore.”

Then the Bear said “they also hate going to football games” and Kirk Herbstreit (whose body language/nervous laughs, along with Desmond Howard, seemed to suggest not relishing Stanford being a laughingstock) said “that’s never been their wheelhouse” (in an almost defensive tone).

Most obvious thing in the world this is how our program would be covered and how the inane suspension of the Tree would be received. I hope it is embarrassing to folks who matter.

(Yes, I know technically the LSJUMB and not the university suspended the Tree. If you’re explaining you’re losing. And there is no doubt Stanford hates fun.)

P. S. We were just part of the Aflac trivia question, which was which was the last AP #1 team to lose at home. Apparently it’s Oregon for losing to us in 2012. So a half hour stretch in GameDay becomes a contrast between the glory years and the current dumps.

Stanford Ladies Win Pac12 Soccer Title

I don’t mean to post about the ladies with a broken heart (because of football), but I haven’t seen this on the board so I thought I should share it just in case it hasn’t been posted.

CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!

Basketball SF Chronicle: Can Jerod Haase get Stanford to the NCAA Tournament this year?

Read that here.


My quote from the story:

“There is an expectation to get to the Tournament this year,” said Ben Parker, publisher of Stanford’s Rivals affiliate, CardinalSportsReport.com. “I think the team knows that. I think that Haase knows that. In that sense, I think his seat is warm.

“If they don’t make the Tournament this season, I’d say his position is in question.”

Coaching Changes

Is anything happening?

I truly cannot believe that Lance Anderson could be our defensive coordinator in 2022. Like McCaffrey leaving early for the NFL, the guy just has nothing left to prove: he is the worst tenured coordinator-level coach in college football maybe in the last twenty years (longevity has him beating out Walt Harris)
