we could be replacing the hype of the old stanford-tennessee and stanford-uconn games with hype of the stanford-baylor game, but no one bothers.
sorry, the website keeps inserting the words "of immense proportions" and won't let me delete these words. some programmer's idea of a joke?
IIRC the Baylor win was in Hawaii at one of those season-opening mini-tournaments where the 4 teams only play one game each. Stanford probably had very little say or control over the broadcast or streaming options.
Yes, you are not alone in your annoyance at what some people feel is a silly thing. Others doubtless think it's cute, so there you have it. To be fair, there's a bit of back story to it, and to a couple of other "auto-corrects," but I'll leave that explanation to someone else.
