I realize I have been posting on the forum for quite a while, but I haven't properly introduced myself.
Class of 2007 grad (you can guess that from my name, otherwise I would be a 130-yr old Class of 1907 grad). Ashamedly, I didn't attend many Stanford games while I was in college, but I did witness in person our 20-14 victory over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl a couple of years ago.
I've predominantly commented on women's basketball (having a dominant women's program awoken my passion for the oft-maligned sport), but I am proud of the success in all our sports and try to catch watching as much of them as possible.
My hopes for the 2015-16 year:
-Return to double digit wins for the football team and contending for the conference title and maybe even a playoff spot (if our O-Line doesn't miss Andrus Peat too much, Hogan stays consistent and not make the occasional boneheaded throw that he's known for, our new defensive starters can continue the legacy of their predecessors and Shaw learns to take a risk or two when warranted)
-A new head MBB coach
-Extend our dominance in the Director's Cup
-Extend our team national championship title streak (either from continuing our dominance (Women's water polo), a return to the title after brief (for them) droughts (women's soccer, women's tennis, women's volleyball, men's water polo) or maybe a surprise winner (this year's version of women's golf)
-Return to the top echelon for women's basketball
My Stanford history:
-Freshman year (Donner)
-Sophomore year (Narnia)
-Junior year (Burbank for most of the year, beside a quarter abroad at Oxford)
-Senior year (Kimball)
History/Int'l Relations double major
