Huh? Wishing future success and increased interest for Stanford men’s sports is a bias we should put aside on a Stanford sports board? SMH
Two things can be equally true here - we can celebrate the major sports (I include Tara’s team here) and celebrate other Stanford teams and athletes. Lamenting the fall from prominence of men’s hoops is completely appropriate and doesn’t denigrate the decades long success of women’s basketball one whit.
Stanford sports fandom is not a zero sum game where support for one sport must fall for another to rise. This is almost the Cardboard’s founding principle and what we’ve ALWAYS done well here.

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
