Hello to the best fans in the Bay Area and maybe the world,
I have always been a forum lurker and for some reason never considered this forum. Stoked to be here and learn knowledge as it pertains the mighty Cardinal.
Back history is I grew up in Palo Alto, went to Paly, and played on the campus in my youth. My Dad worked at Stanford Press, Mom was a teacher in the PA school district and both of them still live in the same house I grew up in off Newell. I ended up at Chico State, married my college sweetheart and found myself in Idaho in 1991. I have grown to love this state and even surrounded by countless Ducks, Huskies and Broncos Stanford Athletics have always been the one I root for. I am currently passing on the love to my 10 year old son.
In my youth Stanford games were a fall ritual and I can recall when the beer trailers used to roll up to the north side of the stadium and give out free suds to me and my 16 year old buddies. I developed a deep hatred of USC fans sitting in the end zone when they would loudly exclaim "There goes the Rose Bowl" if Stanford got any sizable lead. Of course in those days no lead lasted against Southern Cal and many a defeat was experienced.
My favorite player ever was James Lofton who I meet during his years at Stanford when I was young-quiet but very nice guy. Even though he was a recent player, I loved watching Toby Gerhart run the football-the bruising power of that man was just awesome.
I hope to contribute when I can and even if I don't have something to say I will lurk and spread the knowledge to my many smug Oregon Duck buddies.
All Right Now! and let's Go Cardinal!
