Ok, you're in the war room, conference call or lunch discussion at the Oasis and the subject of honorary captains comes up.  You want someone who embodies Stanford and not just one part of it.  Perhaps someone who is at least partially well known to folks outside of our community.  Tiger Woods, Jim Plunkett and John Elway have either already been honored or for some reason aren't available.  I think my answer is as good as any on why Julie Foudy was next out of the hat.

Before this came up I hadn't heard of Foudy, and my fiancee hadn't either. My future sister-in-law (who actually does pay real attention to women's sports and loves the Olympics) said "she sounds familiar but I can't place her". So I'm not really sure that choice makes sense from that perspective.

(I don't particularly care who gets chosen as an honorary captain, I think this is as good a choice as any. But I'm not sure she's actually all that well known.)
