I still think Snyder would have won his match. Thankfully, IT DOESN'T MATTER!!

In 1997, three of the wins were in men’s sports.
Let’s break the record with a baseball title.

The six championships during the various years in the 90's were very impressive,
but given the increased level of competition in many/most sports,
this, IMO, is the greatest school year in Stanford Athletics history.

On the last day of stroke play, when we were in a freefall, I wrote the following:

We only got six championships once in the 90’s.

Sorry. I meant the years we got either 5 or 6. There were 3-4 times in the 90's, I believe,
with either 5 or 6 (don't have the exact statistics in front of me, but yes, you are correct, only one of those featured 6 titles).

What enables sport to transcend the specifics of the game and the moment is that it can be inspiring. This win is inspiring.

Our first chance to set a new record will be this weekend at the NCAA Women's Rowing championships. I think Stanford is seeded 2nd, after UW. The points race at the Pac-12 championships was very close.

I played high school golf (Oklahoma state 3A champs 40 years ago!) and loved the team aspect. It meant a lot to me to play for my school and coach and teammates. I follow both the men's and women's NCAA tournaments because the play is compelling and can be incredibly dramatic. It's amazing to see how well these players execute under the most extreme pressure.
What Stanford did this year is really special. A great example of a team achievement. They did not hesitate to be great. They worked hard to have the opportunity to win it all, then made it happen (with some great play and a little luck). It *is* inspiring.

I am not sure there is more competition now than at that time. There is more money in NCAA athletics now. Better or deeper competition is somewhat subjective. However, no doubt that in 2018-2019 there are many more chances to get NCAA team titles.
Women's Ice Hockey, Women's Beach Volleyball, Women's Bowling and Women's Water Polo did not offer NCAA team titles in 1996-1997, and Women's Rowing had its first NCAA title opportunity back in 1997.
So that creates at least five new opportunities to claim titles, admittedly Ice Hockey is an unlikely title opportunity for Stanford. Still, there are quite a number of new sports and one of this year's six (Women's Water Polo) is part of that mix.
Getting to six in 2019 was harder...for Stanford. Back in 1996-97, MXC, WXC, WVB and WTEN were all major forces in their sports. MTEN was a legit contender. Only MVB was a big time underdog when they played superpower UCLA in Columbus.
A few more chances are still available to get to seven or more and then 2018-2019 would stand alone. That would be nice.

Such an early tee time. It was barely light out when they started.
By the dawn's early light . . .through the perilous fight . . . over the bunkers they drove . . . what so proudly we hail . . . Stanford does prevail.
All right now!
RE: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! -- men's golf - Hulk01 - 05-29-2019
Startling.
Permanent Stanford hero status to Wu and Salinda, both 3-0 in the event.
Salinda was three under, Wu two under, Snyder even, Shimp +2, Daulet +3;
we saved our best for last.
Anyone see Daulet's eagle two?
The most startling championship of my exactly 50 year Stanford fan career.
RE: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! -- men's golf - Spiny_Norman - 05-29-2019
One side note - assistant coach Matt Bortis is getting a lot of credit for the turnaround. He helped to prepare the team mentally and physically and I think the improvement over the season reflects his influence.
Bortis played college golf at Arkansas for 3 years (home course - Blessings), then transferred to Texas where he earned his degree. This championship must have meant a lot to him too.

Given the nature of match play, is it really that startling? In several of the run up tournaments (PAC-12 and regionals) you predicted we were a near lock to make it to the finals and looked good to make match play. And if you make match play, anything is possible!
Of course all this was predicated on someone upsetting Oklahoma state, which seemed unlikely.

I saw it just as I turned on the tv. Chipped in from the swale left of the green. Tuleubayev then made a little jump shot gesture like he was Steph Curry making a 3.
RE: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! -- men's golf - Viking_Guy - 05-29-2019
What a great team win. Every player needed to come through at least once, and they all did their part. Especially after the near-epic collapse in the last two rounds of stroke play, couldn't be happier that Salinda and Wu were nails, and that Snyder, Tuleubayev, and Shimp in succession provided the clinching point.
The only sour note for me, or half-sour at least, was the tone of the coverage. Does the Longhorn Network own the Golf Channel? During the semis yesterday, and especially today, it seemed like Texas was the focus of the coverage. So much so that some of the commentary at the end of the match was "Texas defeated by Stanford" and "well, the Longhorns missed their shots," not "Stanford runs the table from the #7 seed." Just seemed off-key, but was very much redeemed by Notah Begay's commentary when they went to him.

Apologies to the green jacketed stuff shirts in Augusta but my favorite PGA event is the WGC Match Play which is played on a fantastic course in Austin.
The PGA Championship was played as match play when I was a kid. The Ryder cup is great but the possibility of Brooks Koepka vs Dustin for a major is thrilling.
