Colorado introduces Stanford - yvonne - 07-14-2011

This may have been posted already, but the official Colorado site has created pages introducing each Pac-12 team.

Here's the Stanford page:

Seem to have missed a few varsity sports that we offer (wrestling, for example) and I'm not sure I'd chose anything close to this list of Famous Alumni either.

So that's a decent gloss.  The thing to remember about both Colorado and Utah,  but Colorado particularly ,is they are giving up a long-established regional identity and affiliation.  There are Colorado fans who know the ins and outs of Kansas and Nebraska programs but know nothing of the Pac-12 other than it's USC  and a school with a guy who used to coach Colorado.  Pretty sure we'd be in a somewhat similar  position if we joined,  say,  the Big East or maybe even the SEC.

And, we might have some fun educating them.  Hope so.

No education on Colorado needed. I still remember both the phantom Eric Bienemy score, and the brief catch in the end zone as time expired in 1993.

I fudged up a lookalike version at another board, the Heathens board actually.  Also shared Buf's top view / index of the whole P12:

Just one for instance, I'd never heard of the Whizzer..

They teach you a lot about working in groups, without being unduly submerged in the group.” – Former CU football star and Supreme Court Justice Byron “Whizzer” White
