Go Cards!

My Cal friends glare at me, but I have an affinity for Stanford that started way back. My grandfather graduated from Stanford, followed by my uncle. Every year growing up I went with my family to the week long summer camp for Stanford alum and family in Lake Tahoe. Stanford culture grew on me, which made me partial to the school, even though my college application was rejected.

On Saturday I braved Cal Bear territory in red and white for the NCAA Women's Regional. Luckily there were many others joining me in rooting for the Cards (Cal women can't play at their own regional). The guy sitting in front of me looked at W.Wu and I quizzically and asked if we were a little ambivalent? W.Wu had her Cal t-shirt on, and I was next to her with my Stanford one. "We're still friends," I assured him. Though admittedly I'm the poser because I never actually went to Stanford :)

Cardinal women are good. Jayne Appel is a monster. OSU has a fiery freshmen point guard, but Stanford just has too much experience to be so easily put off.
