Stanford's Top Rivals - sportprof101 - 12-28-2020
I hope everyone had a good weekend and holiday! I'm a student at NKU and I wanted to learn more about Stanford's Rivals and I thought no better way than jumping into this message board. With the help of message board members beginning in 2014, we—the students and professors of the Know Rivalry Project—began answering this question and others related to rivalry in the NCAA FBS. No one knows the rivalries of the Cardinal better than this message board community. Please help us update and expand our results to ensure that the Stanford Cardinal are included by taking 9 minutes to complete our newest survey:
https://umassamherst.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3FdJ8eN2EgFCfCB?grpID=1051&mbsrc=mb
Our previous results have been featured in numerous sports media outlets, as well as the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view those results, links to media coverage, and learn more about us at our KnowRivalry.com website BUT we'd prefer you didn't until you completed the survey via the link above... we don't want to influence your opinions provided in the survey.
We use the Qualtrics online survey software for data collection. This academic research has been approved by two US universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and it poses no risks to respondents. You'll find more information on the disclosure agreement that is required to start the survey. There are plenty of other teams you can look into as well on the site if you had other favorite teams. I'd love to know more in this thread about why certain teams are rivals. The Cardinal may have an obvious rival, but who is the second or third rival? Is there a second or third? Thank you for helping us to include the Cardinal by participating and please share this with any other fans that may also help.

Thank you, but that's my mistake I realized it after I posted it. I got caught with other obligations. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Three main rivals:
-UC Berkeley, crybaby curriculum.
-University of Southern California, however curriculum is of a junior college level.
-University of Notre Dame, advanced entitleism curriculum.

The survey was interesting. However in the middle of it, it started asking questions about Memphis? I don't think I have ever seen Stanford play Memphis in any sport. Weird.
RE: Stanford's Top Rivals - Phogge - 12-28-2020
I spend a lot of time in Memphis during normal times.
Pulled pork: Corky's
Beef ribs: Central
Ozark eating: Elwood's
Downtown: Rendezvous
Old fashioned counter milkshakes: Schwab's

Like Rendevous and the dry ribs. Disappointingly, the last time I was there was a couple of years ago, the desk clerk at the hotel STRONGLY recommended we don't go downtown after dark. She, an African American woman, told us she doesn't even go downtown at night. Missed the food and the Blues.

Not that bad. Of course I carry a little five round S&W.

At least you got Memphis! I got South Alabama. It was very odd. I wonder how that came up.

Was there for a convention of sorts in the early 90's. A group of co-workers were walking back from Beale to the Peabody and got held up at gun point. A couple of them started running away, and an assailant screamed at his partner "Shoot them! Shoot them!"
Fortunately, he didn't and turned to run as well. All parties safe and sound. Interesting back story on one of the co-workers--a German national who was conscripted into the the Hitler Youth as a kid, and ended up fighting the Allies during the last stages of the war. Was a great QC manager at our factory. . . .

The Peabody ducks are still doing their thing.

The Ladysmith? :)

Spent the night in Memphis a few years ago on the way back from Oxford, MS. Would have been great except the weather was precipitous in early December and freezing temps were descending...most of the bars closed early. I'll have to make a return trip.

Try to find an AirB&B on Mud Island with a view of the Mississippi.

A more interesting distinction for rivals is Chuck Klosterman's elaboration on the difference between a nemesis and an archenemy. The example is if your nemesis was about to get run over by a bus you would push them out of the way to save them. You would let an archenemy get run over. Kal is our nemesis. U$C and that parochial school in Indiana are the archenemies.

Domer U is best exemplified by a famous alum named Regis. Possibly the biggest azzhole in the history of TV. RIP indeed.

Sounds like the complete opposite of his on-air persona...

arch-enemy --> U$C

rival--> UCLA
foe--> Colorado
adversary --> Washington

opponent-->Oregon State
antagonist --> Oregon
combatant --> Arizona
challenger--> Utah

"nemesis: the inescapable agent of someone's or something's downfall" (Oxford Languages)
Cal is by no means Stanford's nemesis by that definition! Vice versa, surely.

And yet oddly not a surprise at all.

Seems about right that Mike Leach and the Cougs would be our/Shaw's nemesis. The rest of Mick's submissions are delightfully on point, IMHO, though I'd say C.al qualifies more as "annoying little brother who occasionally rises up to seriously provoke."
