Find Me One Person That Likes Stanford


As I was battling to not die over the weekend from influenza and of course when I am sick all of the games on ESPN are not that exciting.

Louisville and Providence was just boring because you knew the Friars werent going to win because they have given up on coach Tim Welsch.

So i resorted to the Big Ten Network to see Wisconsin-Minnesota playing which was once again boring then I get a text from the Birdman just discussing the days events in hoops.
Then he goes into that he is watching Zona against Stanford and how much he hated the Lopez Brothers".


Thats what got the wheels turning for this blog entry. Who really likes Stanford? I have always remember hating their basketball programs throughout the late 90s and into the 2000s. They always seem to reap the benefits of having two twin towers which immediately makes them dominate over the rest of the league- The Collins Bros. and the Lopez Bros. which also gets me to think both were smart enough to get into Stanford? Wow, usually one of them is dumber than a box of rocks.

Another thing I always didnt like about Stanford was their goofy ass tree mascot and the nickname to go along with it. They are not the Cardinals, just the Cardinal which is a color and somehow that turns their mascot into a happy redwood. At least the Orange have Otto whose an actual Orange, see the Cuse has their shit together. I hate wimpy mascots, the Tree look at that thing, it would just get owned by most mascots in America if we had a battle royal. This also has given me the idea to post my own list of top 10 college mascots but that will be for another day.

Lets just hope they do not make a run in the NCAA Tournament so we dont see that damn tree dancing around.

Charlie.
