New idea for conference re-alignment
May 17, 2012, 11:07 PM
|
|
Re-alignment by mascots, for example, we'd be in the "cats" conference with LSU, Missouri, Kansas St, Kentucky, Northwestern, Arizona, Auburn, Houston, Penn St, BYU and Pitt.
SCu would be in the "poultry", or bird conference, with VaTech, Air Force, Oregon, Kansas, Louisville, BC, Southern Miss, Stanford, Rice and Temple
Makes as much sense as us in the Big 12 or Boise in the Big East.
Others would include:
"Reptiles" with Florida, TCU, and Maryland
"Weather" with Miami(Fl), Alabama, Tulsa, Tulane,and Kent St
"Food Network featuring red meat" with Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, UNC, Buffalo, Marshall, Baylor, UCLA, Cal and Nebraska(need a starch)
"Condom" with USC and Troy
"Varment" with Minnesota, Michigan, Oregon St and Wisconsin
"Good and Evil" with Wake, Duke and Arizona St, Wake's a little conflicted here
"Cowboys and Indians" with FSU, Utah, Illinois, OKst, Wyoming, San Diego St, Colorado St, Hawaii, and Texas Tech
Also throw in the "Canine" conference, the "Human" conference, the "What the H*ll is that" conference(featuring Syracuse, Western Kentucky, UAB, Texas A&M, Utah St, and Akron) and conference re-alignment is solved. More importantly ESPN is screwed.

Stanford's nickname is the school's color, not a bird.

The nickname for Stanford is the Cardinal – in reference to one of the school colors (and is therefore in the singular). Stanford’s history with its nickname began on March 19, 1891 when Stanford beat Cal in the first Big Game. While Stanford did not have an official nickname, the day after the Big Game local newspapers picked up the "cardinal" theme and used it in the headlines.

Actually Stanford doesn't have a mascot

The tree is their band's mascot and people obviously sometimes tie it to the school, but the school does not recognize it.

You left out the "Fighting Irish" of Notre Dame.
Even the legendary actor John (the Duke) Wayne fought an Irishman in the 1952 movie "The Quiet Man".

although we could change the name of "Cowboys and Indians" to "Cowboys and offensive stereotypes" and include them there
