Stanford

Alright all my conservative friends, before you get yourself in a tizzy, let me explain the title today. I LOVE the Stanford Cardinal (no S, one of the few schools whose mascot does not end in an 's'--can you name others?). For my poor friends who do not watch college football, Standford BEAT #2 (some people's #1) USC. YIPPY, this moved the beloved bucks up to #3 which puts us in the hunt for the natl title--though I have a feeling we will lose somewhere along the way. Stanford's actual mascot is a tree--how a tree and the color cardinal are related I have NO IDEA!?! I thought those Stanfordies were suppose to be smart. Anyhoo, if I knew any of those brainiacs, I'd give 'em a hug! Then I would wipe my butt with a plastic bag like those great Oregon bumper stickers tell tree huggers to do.

FYI--other non-s teams: North Texas Mean Green, Syracuse Orange Men, Alabama Crimson Tide, Illinois Illini, Notre Dame Irish...I can't think of anymore.
