Are we counting Eileen Guo as Stanford affiliated?

Born in the USA to a Stanford alum and raised in the Seacliff neighborhood of San Francisco, Eileen Gu has declined to state her nationality on multiple occasions, but she stopped competing for the USA in 2019, and switched to compete for China. BTW, the USA recognizes dual nationality, China does not.
I don't care. Stanford has plenty of student athletes compete for other countries. Typically, they're actually born in those other countries, but there you go.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 09-06-2022
I finally looked it up. I cheated
Jill Harmon born here completes for New Zealand
Ali Riley born here also completes for Bew Zealand
I could go on and on and good for them
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 09-06-2022
Mick's mention of Seacliff. Pretty ritzy. Robin Williams lived there until booted out by the wife (the old babysitter). Just down from the 17th green at Lincoln. In HS China Beach was the place to be. Loaded with girls from Convent, St. Rose and Burkes.
So was Lex correct?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Giants - 09-06-2022
Yep, Lex got it. Clemson is the answer.

My son and seven of his friends spent their post-college years living in a grand old house in Seacliff. No idea why the landlord thought it was a good idea to rent to eight single males in their '20s, but they had a rip-roaring good time. It was a three level house; one lived in the finished attic (he was the shortest since the ceiling was only 6' and he was 5'8", but the views of the bay were extraordinary), five lived in the five bedrooms on the second floor, one (my son) lived in the converted family room on the ground floor, and one (journalist, paid the least, now covers Michigan sports) lived in a corner of the large garage. And yes, they spent a great deal of time at China Beach.
They've all recently turned thirty, and I think just one of the original eight remains in the house, but they had the times of their collective lives.

IIRC your sons both played volleyball. Would have been tough for the one in the house to take the attic.

That's for sure. Older one played all four years, younger one played one year until his back and knee said time to quit. They are 6'3" and 6'5" respectively...

An Ivy League school…
Yale, Princeton, Harvard?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BostonCard - 09-07-2022
Yale with about 20, most of them before 1900, and none since the 1920’s.
BC
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 09-07-2022
Yale it is with 17 by my count. Bama has 16. Stanford has one but was robbed of one in 1940 when undefeated.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Mick - 09-07-2022
Yale, 18. Championships: 1874, 1876, 1877, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1891, 1892, 1894, 1900, 1907, 1909, 1927
Alabama, 16
Princeton, 15. They claim 28, none in the poll era.
Notre Dame, 13
Michigan, 9
USC, 9
Harvard, 8
Ohio State, 8
Oklahoma, 7
Minnesota, 6 (five of which were between 1934 and 1941).

Adam Wainwright and Yadier Moilna tied an MLB record today for most starts as a battery with 324. Who's record did they tie? Hint - today is the 47th anniversary of the final start together of the battery whose record was tied.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 09-08-2022
Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan.
