I'm on the fence as to whether this is real or not.  On the one hand, this is so completely ridiculous that it can't exist.  On the other hand, we are talking about Notre Dame.

FYI I've decided my hatred for Notre Dame now exceeds $outhernCal.

EDIT:  I see the auto correct has a new name for NotreDame.  To be precise, isn't Stanford the supposed alma mater of said Dead Fake Girlfriend?

That sets off so many "can't be real" alarm bells that it basically has to be real.

There's no way that out-of-stock text box would be as irregular as it looks in a real site.  Too awkward to layer.

I could use a Stanford-Texas reversible jacket. 

For those cool Stanford evening games and for when I go to Colorado.

Hey, Yvonne...

I am not a particularly religious man, but believe it was Moses (in Proverbs 14:31), who noted that “whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”

Hence my rationalization for marrying a B.ear (she was reformed by attending grad school at Stanford, and agreeing to having our ceremony at MemChu, for further clarification)!  That flag flies at every one of our Big Game tailgaters, but we rarely attend other C.al games, and our kids clearly understand which team deserves their cheers and praise!

;D

Clever and cleaner looking. But seems like a whole lot more work than just adding a random punctuation mark.

Same here.  :(

Speaking of auto-correct.  Here's my nomination for the CARDboard nickname for Jared Goff: William Zabka, as in the actor that plays Daniel-san's adversary in the Karate Kid.  (Full disclosure: not original idea, resemblance first pointed out in that Best Case-Worst Case ESPN blog post about Stanford).  Goff, of course, has not reached a level of accomplishment or done anything despicable enough to deserve CARDboard autocorrect status, and our rivals down South are the ones more culturally akin to the Cobra Kais (another idea?).  Anyhow, something to keep in mind.

Some others from our brief history.

UC Davi.s = UC Davis  (Based on a sad series of losses in the major sports in 2005)
Bea.rs = Bears  (Rival)
Troja.ns = Trojans  (Opponent)
Fur.d = the school I wish I had gotten into  (Makes sense))
Tyro.ne Willing.ham = Tyrone Willingham    (Ex Coach)
Son.ny Dyk.es = Sonny Dykes  (Rival Coach)

==============

Reprieves are sometimes granted and your good name can be returned to you by the Computer Gods when you've done your time with no repeat of your reprehensible behavior.

For example:

brobdingnagian = brobdingnagian    (Hard to explain)
Buddy Teevens = Buddy Teevens  (Ex-Coach)

But they didn't always!

http://thecardboard.org/frequently-asked.../#software explains a little about the software. I see it hasn't been updated to reflect the rehabilitation of "brobdingnagian".

Here are a few more, by the way:

Still not a complete list, but the rest are pretty obscure.

I picked up a couple of odd things, this seems as good a place as any to point them out.

http://thecardboard.org/frequently-asked...#directors

Only two schools, North Carolina, in the award’s first year, and Stanford, in each of the following four years, have ever won the Directors’ Cup.

I'm pretty sure there have been more than 5 directors' cups.

http://thecardboard.org/frequently-asked-questions/#twu

De Castro and Martin went on to become NFL first round draft picks.

Martin was not drafted in the first round, he was the 42nd overall pick.

I smiled at the out-of-date FAQ on the Sears Cup. It was written when the CardBoard first on line in 1999. I'm not sure anybody expected us to still be around 14 years later.

And I wonder if anyone expected the statement "Only two schools, North Carolina, in the award’s first year, and Stanford, in each of the following four years, have ever won the Directors’ Cup." to be true 15 years later if only the number "four" hadn't been explicitly included.

It looks like the Director's Cup entry in the FAQ has been updated, which should keep the CardBoard accurate for the foreseeable future:

Only two schools, North Carolina, in the award’s first year, and Stanford, every single year since, have ever won the Directors’ Cup.
