You Cal fans have such a hard on for Stanford

It's hilarious to come over here and see it flooded with Cal trolls so quickly. I know there's like 400,000 people attending Berkeley at any given moment, but GEEEEEEEZ can't you just COOL OUT? Let us Stanford fans get comfy in our new digs before you start WAC'ing things around like we're in Reno or something. Oops. Too soon? Too soon. It's okay, boys and girls. The Tedford death spiral started a few months early. You have a terrible quarterback and no defense. Is it really surprising to you? I could have bought you the bootleg CD on Telegraph for the past decade. The same old song and dance.

You guys SUCK! Enjoy 6th place. Go back to your caves. 

 

Sincerely,

Karl the Stanford Fan

Unlike Stanford

we don’t have legacy admits at Berkeley. So “second generation” doesn’t carry the negative connotation at Cal that it does for your school. Congrats at having rich, connected parents, you earned it.

What else have we won recently in Bear Territory South? Well, gee, the Pac-10 Men’s Basketball Championship comes to mind. There’s nothing like Cal hearing thousands of Cal fans chanting “Pac-10 Champions” at Maples. Except Cal fans taking over the Bear Territory South football field after winning the Big Game.

yeah, people get in for different reasons. Just because she might not have the grades or SATs or something, she might have talents in other areas (extra curriculars, athletics, etc). Cal has a comprehensive review policy for admissions, so they look at a lot of factors.

Dear Karl,

It is unfortunate that our first interaction was so negative. I apologize for what could seem like an inappropriate takeover of this Stanfurd sports website. May I direct you to another internet website on SB Nation, California Golden Blogs (CGB)? It is a successful website writing about Cal sports, and has a large and loyal following. This Stanfurd website was only started a few days ago, and as a result, has very few visitors. The small number of Stanfurd fans on Rule of Tree were drowned out by the substantial number of Cal fans on CGB. We were notified there was a new PAC-10 website, and may have reacted in an overzealous nature.

Again we apologize, but Stanfurd still sucks.

Sincerely,
paleodan

We “got” stanford 7 of the last 8 years. And you sure have a lot of confidence in your team, which hasn’t won a game in Memorial since 2000. If I remember correctly, you’re team was one of the hottest in the country, coming off back to back victories with 50 points per game against Oregon and SC…and then you played us. Given your confidence right now, I can only imagine what you were saying last year. How’d that game turn out? Do I need to provide another photo?

I seem to remember exactly one stanford player having a good performance in that game - Toby Gerhart. Is he still on your team? Awww, too bad. To be fair though, our star runningback is gone too…oh that’s right, he didn’t play in that game. His backup Shane Vereen got the start. I think he played pretty well, perhaps you remember? Your perfect quarterback is still there, maybe he can repeat his 10-30 passing performance.

Hey, at the least, maybe your most famous alum Tiger Woods can give another halftime pep talk. How’s he doing these days?

Sorry about the behavior of a few of our “students.” I know that none of your “students” gave out similar treatment, because there weren’t any of you at the game - I’m sure you privileged legacy kids were too busy shopping at one of the boutiques on university ave. Maybe if you guys actually showed up and weren’t outnumbered 2-1 by Cal fans in your own stadium, you’d have a homefield advantage. You’ll learn about that in Memorial…assuming you’ll show up. Which, since you guys don’t show up to your own stadium, is a pretty big assumption to make.

I completely agree

the way the Cal fan base has flooded and trampled this blog and most posts on it is absolutely disgusting. They’ve bombarded this blog with rude comments and unnecessarily boastful statements (and pictures). Stanford is far better than Cal; they’re tougher, smarter, and are led by a future NFL QB and perhaps a future NFL head coach. Cal fans need to realize that Stanford is the Bay Area’s team and that Cal has a lot to prove before its followers can pipe up.
Even further upon this point, I would love nothing more than to see many Stanford fans congregate around this web blog and churn out multitudes of posts every day and discuss the rise of a powerful and intimidating team. I would love to see Stanford fans take over this blog as their rightful forum for delivering their thoughts and ideas about Stanford athletics. And I’m sure many Cal fans would love to see that too.

Hey, no offense to CardinalRules07. I realize that furdies are used to getting A’s even when their answers are incorrect. It’s probably too much to expect a furdie to provide accurate information.

What are you doing! It’s rude to engage with outside fans who come here! We are supposed to say one thing, and one thing only: “Thank you, Sir. May I have another?”

Still feeling cocky about your season after the 52-31 drubbing Oregon laid on you?

Ooooo, one of the half dozen Furdies is sensitive! You can whine and cry that Cal has more students and oh how so many of them flooded this site with comments, but the fact is SBN has been going for a while now and there has been little to no Stanfurd presence. The reason for that? No one cares about Stanfurd football and the ones that do are terrible fans. Sorry, you know it and Cal fans know it.

So, we will enjoy our 8-4 seasons with wins over our “rival” and going to bowl games, whatever bowl games. Enjoy Harbaugh while he lasts and don’t get used to finishing above .500 like you’ve gotten used to Cal spanking you 7 of the last 8 years under Tedford.

It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

Other Boards

Stanford has other football message boards that are very heavily trafficked and have been for years (since shortly after Stanford helped create the Internet). So don’t be ignorant and assume that SBN is the only place for Stanford football fans to post messages to each other. Just tough to compete with the boards that have been around for a while.

And why did you put “rival” in quotation marks? You think Stanford’s 55-47-11 record doesn’t make the two teams rivals?

Nice to the see the kal knuckle-draggers out in force.

“Huh huh. Stanfurd sucks. Dur dur.”

Stay mad, weenies.

Stanfurd does suck, you just got drubbed 52-31 by Oregon.
Back to the bottom half of the pac 10 with you!
Ahem, dur dur.

This was too funny...

I can only hope that the back and forth gets even better as more Stanford fans find this place.

Kal fans have no sense of history - I seem to remember a period maybe ten years ago when Stanford won… hmm six, maybe seven straight big games. Kal attendance was down and the program was a joke. Kal fans ripping on a lack of Stanford fans when Stanford is just emerging from their own dark period is just plain silly. As the program rebuilds, the fans will come. It is already starting.

Methinks the fans on the other side of the bay are starting to feel threatened. Ooh, this should be fun…

all i gotta say is

saturday nov. 20 - stanford @ cal

i’ll be at the game, sitting on those damn wooden benches, cheering my team on, and being slightly jealous that our student section isnt as good as cal’s. then i’ll let andrew luck and the team’s play do our talking.

does anyone actually wanna talk about football? im talking luck vs riley, skov vs vereen, harbaugh vs tedford? or is this gonna become a mudslinging contest?

and yes, i do go to stanford. and yes, i think we’re gonna win :). its about damn time.
