"Idea: every time that Stanford appears in the Rose bowl we reverse the ban - so pre-1999, no ban; 1999-2012; ban; 2012-???? no ban; ..."
A word ban should continue whenever the football team loses a game. However, the ban should not be restricted to the word "brobdingnagian." There is no guarantee that "brobdingnagian" is the culprit. It is only logical that the real cause of the problem is the word that is most frequently used. A simple computer program can find the word in no time, as well as the person who used the word the most. After all, it always someone's fault and it is only fair that the evil witch be exposed. Further, banned words should be replaced with a cryptic phrase that is 10 word long or more. To be safe, the top 5 most common words should also be replaced with long cryptic phrases. A side benefit to this approach is that: potential recruits, recruit's parents, new fans, players, sports columnists, psychologists studying fan disorders, and those who want to know what intelligent Stanford fans are really like, will scratch their heads and simply go away.
