You have to spend time in the Bay Area to understand just how obnoxious Stanford folks can be. I never gave two shits about their version of The Game until I spent a couple of years there. I want Cal to kick their pompous ass into the Pacific every year.

I've spent time out there. They are insufferable. The university itself is the anti-Chicago. Whereas Chicago has never sought the social prestige of the Ivies (no legacy admits, no "development" admits), Stanford has always craved it deeply in the way that San Francisco deeply needs to be told that it's just the same as NYC, Paris or London. It's a weird place, and I grew up on the periphery of it.

First time that I ever heard the term "snowflake" wasn't in the context of its current political usage. It was in an essay entitled "Don't Be A Stanford Asshole," and it referenced the way that Stanford diligently works to instill the mentality in its students that they are the most unique, one-of-a-kind snowflakes to ever fall down from the heavens.

EDIT: Found It.

One has to wonder whether the B1G powers that be have sent a message that if they ever want to join the B1G, they'll need to do something about that band because it is not going to be constantly mocking and ridiculing the other schools and students. Then again, they're only mad at the mascot because he dared mock Stanford, so I'm probably reading too much into it.

If you're craving some thick gumbo that makes no compromises, here it is. Eggplant, tomato and okra stewed in chicken stock with spicy jalapenos makes a healthy and hearty gumbo to top a scoop of rice.

ingredients
1 large eggplant, chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
15 pods fresh okra, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, diced (or to taste)
chicken stock
salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cup rice, cooked according to package directions, using chicken stock for liquid

directions
Place vegetables and seasoning in a large stock pot. Cover with chicken stock and let simmer until vegetables are tender. Use enough stock to cover vegetables, plus 2 inches above them.

When vegetables are tender, place a spoonful of rice in a soup bowl and add a ladle of the gumbo mixture.

No you’re not. Stanford and Notre Dame deserve each other.

I know a guy who is originally from the east coast and moved to SF for a while. He now lives in the part of California near Folsom and Lake Tahoe.

He’s always had a strong hate for Pac 12 teams, particularly USC and Stanford. I always understood the USC hate as I couldn’t stand them during the Carrol years, but the Passionate Stanford hate miffed me.

I assumed that he was being irrational for his hate of the Tree. But after reading some comments in this thread I guess his sentiments are justified.

The arrogance and self-revereance of one Stanford alum will drown out a room full of Harvard-Yale-Princeton alums.

Or as a joke goes: At a dinner party who's the first to self-identify? The surgeon, the pilot or the Stanford alumnus?

The band will definitely be an interesting point if they ever join the B1G. Even the domers, who crave the Stanford series because it invites (erroneous) comments about academic parity between the two, have banned the Stanford band from South Bend for life. And while we all might like their "halftime tribute to private college rejection notices" when they play in Ann Arbor, just remember that everybody in the conference will have to deal with their bullshit.

David Shaw resigns after 12 seasons as Stanford football HC

Stanford head coach David Shaw has resigned after 12 seasons at his alma mater.

Shaw announced his decision to step down, effective immediately, after Saturday night's 36-25 loss to BYU in Stanford's season finale.

"I prayed about it, I thought about it," Shaw said. "With every hour it seemed, it was more cemented in my head. The phrase that kept coming to me is: 'It's time.'"

Shaw, 50, said he had not considering resigning until earlier this past week, and said he has no desire to coach another team at this point.

"I am not burnt out," he said. "I'm healthy; I feel good. But 16 years is a long time. ... 16 years of running a program, 16 years of being responsible for everything and everybody catches up to you."
