They seem to have no interested fan base. Which makes me wonder if they have any boosters... and if not... how did they get a good FB coach? Lucky fuckers.

Thanks god Zuckerberg didn't run track at SU

I've run across a few many years ago. One laid into me because I dared to say illegal immigration was a problem in this country. He probably got a scholarsheeep beecause he was LateeenoXicanoCheecanoHeespanic.

Met a recruiter for the Stanford School of Bio-engineering this past week.
She thinks Stanford should start a trend and drop football, much like Western did.
Believes it is barbaric and causes too many issues when players get old.
Fucking Christ ... -
If there was ever a fan base that deserved nothing, its Stanford.
Co-workers older brother was a DB there in the 80's, total fag. Doesn't care one iota about the program -

Clap. Clap. Clap.
I live in a large community housing for disabled vets, so I am sure several people share the same IP address. Just talked to our VA lawyer and he said there is nothing in the Terms of Service about that. -
people who don't have school-aged kids don't fully appreciate just how hard that school is to get into. Basically, if you didn't get in under the alternative admissions process for jocks, you're a fucking genius.unfrozencaveman said:If there was ever a fan base that deserved nothing, its Stanford.

it's Harvard, Princeton or Yale, take your pick, on the west coast. it is rather surprising that they even want to be in division 1a in anything other than crew and women's soccer or field hockey.
Berkeley, USC and UCLA are very hard to get into as well, but Stanford is on another level entirely. They are the full equivalent of an upper-tier Ivy League school. Equal to Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia, better than Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Penn. Stanford's admission rate is around 5% - UW's, by way of comparison, is around 60%.
Think about that when these questions occur to you. Those schools are a world apart from where you and I were educated. You take a math class at Stanford, and there is literally nobody in there who didn't score in the upper 90th percentile on the math section of the SATs. A co-worker's son, educated at private eastside schools, plays a sport down there on partial scholly (and Daddy will tell you that is THE only reason he got in) and is struggling academically even though he's working his ass off. I frankly don't know how they keep their grad rates up so high - Furd is known for not killing off their students with attrition - hence the "Stanford B" - but the reality is also that there are recruits who get in there with a high school GPA of 3.5 and find themselves completely out of their league academically. -
