rmncwrtr Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Although both teams suck, my alma mater beat Cal in The Big Game today. About time. Go Cardinal! IaHywTO6Fcs Quote
archenemy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Any school that uses a color instead of a mascot has got to suck. Quote
minx Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 i believe its the cardinal tree? not cardinal red? Quote
archenemy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Nope. Its red. The tree is their symbol, not their mascot. Quote
minx Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 no wonder i didn't go to stanford. i knew they were to clever for me Quote
archenemy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 they are too clever. They also have a great mausoleum on campus. Quote
minx Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 yes, the campus has many lovely features including the mausoleum. it was an enticing opportunity but clearly i made a good choice. that mascot is a colour thing would've tormented me and ruined my college experience. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Nope. Its red. The tree is their symbol, not their mascot. Back when I was at Cal it was the Stanford Trees. Might have been unofficial, though. Go Bears. Quote
archenemy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 yup, that is unofficial. But the tree is still on the common graduation ring. Suprised no one has said they are offended by a Christmas tree or a pagen symbol yet. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 The difference between bears and trees? You only hug a bear once. Quote
rmncwrtr Posted December 3, 2007 Author Posted December 3, 2007 We used to be the Indians a long time ago but that offended some people. Then we became the Cardinal (color) and I'm sure others are offended by that. The tree is on the school's crest and is also the mascot that dances around with the LSJUMB (marching band which was so fun to be a member of.) And yes, Minx, we are quite clever Quote
archenemy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 oh so smart. The engineering lab there fuckin rocks, I'll tell you that much. Quote
RuMR Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 at least your mascot isn't an f-ing turkey... Quote
archenemy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I don't think a Tom would represent me well. Quote
Dechristo Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 get old enough and you'll have your own neck waddle Quote
archenemy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I love the aging process. It is the little daily humiliations that I look forward to. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 That's why I like having a bear for a mascot. Bears, young or old, are always the same. Fat, furry, famished. Quote
