A list that does not include Ernie Nevers, Bob Mathias and Hank Luisetti is missing probably the 3 greatest athletes in Stanford history. These types of lists rarely recognize that Stanford had 80 years of athletic history before John McEnroe and John Elway arrived on campus.
And a list that does not include Bill Hewlett and David Packard is missing 2 of the most influential business alumni.
The Stanford Alumni Association's list does not include Nevers, Luisetti or Packard either. Curious.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
