Welcome to Rule of Tree!

Welcome to Rule of Tree, your newest—and, in due time, greatest—source for Stanford sports news and opinions from the fan's perspective. Please jump in, join the conversation, and check back often. And don't worry, kids, the Stanford Axe-wielding Tree won't bite.

This site will be many things, including a place to sound off and interact with other Cardinal fans about any and all Stanford sports. While the focus will be primarily on football, men's and women's basketball, and baseball, Rule of Tree will occasionally dabble in the other sports that have helped make Stanford the permanent home of the Directors’ Cup for almost two decades. One of the best parts of this site, and the entire SB Nation network, is that fans like you will guide the conversation. Sign up for an account to start posting FanShots and FanPosts today.

On my end, I vow I will attack this endeavor with enthusiasm unknown to mankind, at least not before Jim Harbaugh arrived on the Farm. That's a lot of enthusiasm. I hope you'll share in it with me. Go Cardinal!
