Despite the complainers here about the AD, Stanford sports are amazing. (Enjoy them while they're here.)
The vendor of the calendar used by GoStanford.com does a poor job of showing the number of sports Stanford carries. 12 events on Friday; 16 on Saturday; 12 on Sunday . Check it out to see what is going on for sports you don't follow. And most of the time, Stanford teams win.
Did you know that the Stanford squash team finished 5th at the national championships last weekend? I've never played squash but I recognize they're skilled athletes. Another unheralded team is artistic swimming which I think has a chance at winning a national championship (but it isn't NCAA).
On Friday,
Many of the same teams will be competing Saturday and Sunday.
In addition to the above,
I count 9 different top 10 teams competing this weekend.
