UNDER STANFORD CONTROL - OutsiderFan - 12-15-2015
Can we please not use "Unbelievably Spoiled Children" for U.S.C. on this board? "Under Stanford Control" is so much better, and is the truth given Stanford beat U.S.C. twice in 2015!

+1.
In addition to this argument, I think some would find it more than a little ironic that Stanford grads are calling another fanbase spoiled. (Sorry if that hits too close to home.)

My guess is that the change was made so as not to offend the woofing gods before the conference championship. Now that we have won, it is reasonable to return it to the previous moniker, at least until the third week of next season.

I'm ok with the University of Second Choice. (Or University of Subsequent Choice?) Because it was for me. And for my son. And quite possibly for my daughter.
Re: UNDER STANFORD CONTROL - Rally - 12-15-2015
Why not just U.S.C? The substitution seems silly. See? I can't even express my point because of the substitution.. Let's try uScalifornia.

My granddad used to say those f'ing a'holes down south, but we might not want to use it for this board.

Very few of us would understand "The University of Southern Croatia."
Re: UNDER STANFORD CONTROL - Nan3cy - 12-15-2015
Why not just U$C?

I will always now say USCheat or University of Sanctioned Cheaters because of what Bush did.

The pot calling the kettle black doesn't seem to bother any other fanbase, so why should it bother us?

+1 Winflop,
It was more like a "seventh" choice for me and recently for my son. Calling it second choice is raising its status.
Under Stanford Control works although I think we are 2 for 4 recently and 7 for our last 10 with the toejams!

Because of their Eastern Bloc water polo teams?

These are both good.
Although, does it matter? I think as long as you spell it right there is no correction. U$C. See?
Re: UNDER STANFORD CONTROL - 82 Card - 12-16-2015
Seventh choice? Seventeenth choice? U$C must have really risen in the standings from my day. When I was looking for undergraduate schools and later a law school, it never even crossed my mind to look at U$C.
