To be fair to Vlad,

There's a phrase I never expected to see on the CardBoard.

I think all these posts discussing Vlad the Misunderstood should be moved to a new, dedicated thread.  Don't want to give newbys trying to introduce themselves the wrong idea.

To be fair to Vlad,

There's a phrase I never expected to see on the CardBoard.

Actually, twice... by two different posters:

Me: "To be fair to Vlad..."
Ferrari: "Well, in fairness to the much maligned Vlad..."

Aren't you getting the sense that the Bootboard collective thinks Vlad the Impaler got a bad rap?  I mean, at least he's not a USC grad.

Just read up on the ancient practice of impaling and truly wish I hadn't.  No need to be fair to Vlad!

Hello Everybody! I've been lurking the forum for a while and finally got on thanks to our Admin's efforts to fix registration. My dad raised me as a lifelong Stanford fan and I was born shortly after he started working at Stanford around 1997.

Welcome son.  I too was a Stanford fan out of the womb.  LOL

Hi everyone,

I'm David, BA '94/MBA '00. From Minneapolis originally, in the Bay Area for most of my adulthood and now live in Wilmette, just north of Chicago. Was a long time men's basketball season ticket holder, though that lapsed with the combination of moving to Chicago and the Dawkins era. Now I'm mostly focused on football but hoping for a basketball revival if we can hire the right coach.

Favorite moments as a fan:

• 1990 Big Game (my first/revenge of The Play)
  
• 1998 Elite Eight
  
• 2011 Orange Bowl
  
• 2016 Rose Bowl
  
• Any time we beat Notre Dame football -- especially now that I'm back in the Midwest and surrounded by Domers

Hi friends!

My name is Gus, BS '16. Big big football fan, although that started in high school - trying to get more into basketball especially now that [redacted] is out. I've been lurking for a while and recently decided it would be fun to actually participate in conversations!
