Title: Should we agree to be rivals with the Stanford Cardinals?
Post by: Dugout DickStone on June 05, 2021, 12:23:16 PM
It is obvious they want to be in a rivalry with us but with the current ongoing west coast rivalries with USC and UCLA do we need another one?  The Cardinals seem to be mostly regional so I don't know a lot about them.  Maybe someone with more info can weigh in.

Well, they recently canceled their awesome wrestling program, citing financial reasons, despite alumni generating enough money to sustain the program on it's own.

I don't think we want to be aligned with a school that's so disconnected from its alumni.

Standford brings absolutely nothing to the table in terms of good sports teams. I think I’ll pass.

They repeatedly copy off of us in referencing family in sport venue naming.

Apparently one family owns their entire athletic department or something, I don't know.

So they're the Cardinals but they have a weird nightmare fuel tree as a mascot?  They seem very confused to me.  No thanks, do not want.

Cardinals are pretty overrated as far as birds go. The last time I was at my parents' house, some stupid cardinal was sitting on the windowsill to my bedroom, banging its head into the glass. They might not be the very dumbest of all birds, but they have to be in the running.

Mrs. Dax and I observed the same Cardinal pair who had their little one's eaten by the Barred Owls last year, built right back in the same bush again this year.

There are a ton of teams that use Cardinals, that is another con at agreeing to be their rival.  Are we playing Louisville?  IDFK

Most birds will fly into a window, get embarrassed, and then fly off (assuming they survive the crash). Not cardinals, though. They get up and keep flying into the window over and over again until they finally die.

Yeah, Leland Stamford made a bunch of money during the gold rush exploiting asian immigrant/native American labor and then built a college to celebrate it.

IIRC they used to be the Stamford Redmen and their mascot had a full blown headdress.

That same family basically runs the university now and is thinking about ditching the tree mascot to go back to the full blown Redmen nickname.

As you guys know, I live in the Pac12 region.  All the local Ute fans and sports radio experts ever say about Stanford is that they are a total drain on the conference and a big part of why the Pac has fallen behind the other conferences.  Wouldn’t be surprised if they get kicked out during the next round of TV negotiations.

My Catholic friend told me that birds cannot absolve sins thus they are inferior to people cardinals.

I then asked if cardinals crap in the woods like the Pope and he said no, but he admitted that bears wear funny hats.

I'm pretty sure Stanford was founded by two individuals and they never discussed the mascot.  One went to fill out the paperwork and put the mascot as the Cardinals, unoriginally thinking it up on the spot.  In the meantime, the other one was handling the press around the new university and was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter.  The reporter asked about the mascot and the founder panicked, realizing that it had never been discussed or agreed upon.  He looked around and saw a sickly tree a few feet away.  He pointed it out to the newspaper reporter and the rest is history.

Somebody told me that in honor of the Doritos Locos tacos, a couple of years ago Stanford started putting Doritos dust all over their diplomas for their cum laude students. It's like glitter, but it's cooler ranch doritos.

When I saw the headline, I thought it would be fodder for the Wichita thread.  Dig deeper, and we see the Kansas-Stanford-Starbucks-Taco Bell connections are ever-y-where.

Locally owned restaurant serving both pizza, chicken tenders has opened in west Wichita

Quote
The building at 8977 W. Central in Wichita had been home to Pizza Hut since at least the mid-1970s. But about six months ago, that Pizza Hut moved to a strip center at 737 N. Maize Road.

Now, there’s a new pizza tenant in the building near Central and Tyler that’s sandwiched by Starbucks on one side and Taco Bell on the other. But it serves more than just pizza.

Last week, Joseph Fowler and his wife, Jacqueline, opened a new location of their Electric Pizzeria in the space. And although they’re still selling the pizzas their customers have been ordering since the couple opened their first pizza restaurant in Derby in 2018, the new location is doubling as a place to get fried chicken tenders and sandwiches.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Band

So as a former marching band member I was excited when my sis informed me she had a student of hers in the Stanford band.

I was looking forward to seeing what their spin on Oz was going to be in an attempt to rile up KState fans.

Now the band member is telling my sis they aren't making the trip to Dallas.

Can't be rival's if you can't travel the band.
