Since Jim Harbaugh didn’t clarify what he said when accused of yelling “faggot” during a game two weeks ago, and since the Stanford athletic department would not return my phone calls or emails, I wanted a professional opinion on what the coach uttered. I contacted lipreading translator Consuelo Gonzalez for his professional opinion, and here’s [...]

Did Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh yell ‘faggot’?
Got an email this morning claiming that Stanford head football coach Jim Harbaugh yelled “faggot” at an official during the Stanford-Notre Dame game on Saturday (which Stanford won). While you can’t hear the audio, it certainly looks like that’s what he’s yelling. Check out the video after the jump at about the 26-second mark.
We’re looking [...]
Toby Gerhart should win the Heisman
Toby Gerhart is Stanford’s running back who carried a mediocre team to an 8-4 record and a bowl berth. He led the nation in touchdowns (26). He was second in rushing yards per game (144.7). He averages 200.3 yards against ranked opponents.
Now, despite being the best player in the nation this year, he has little [...]
College coaches channel their inner Belichick
Did New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick start a trend with questionable decisions to go for it on fourth down instead of punt? Not in the NFL, but maybe in college football if two calls from Saturday are an indication. And like Belichick’s call, these two also flopped and helped their teams lose.
First up came [...]
Stanford has college football’s best band
In the Bay Area for the weekend, I decided to head to my alma mater Stanford for the big game against Oregon. And what a game. Stanford held on for the big upset of the top-10 Ducks, 51-42.
But there were some interesting notes after the game. It was my first time “storming the field” after [...]
Weekend Hot Jock: Andrew Luck
Chances are this is the first time you’ve heard of Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. But it won’t be the last. The 6-foot-4, 235 pound redshirt freshman has it all: Good arm, great vision, leadership, and handsome good looks. From Houston, Luck was ranked as high as the No. 4 quarterback coming out of high school [...]
NCAA’s strangest, funnest mascot and band
Yes, I am biased. I’ll admit it. But for my money, the funnest mascot in the country is the Stanford Tree. While almost every other school has some mean, vicious mascot (Wildcat, Wolverine, Bear), Stanford’s mascot is a dancing inanimate object. And each year that inanimate object changes. Some years it’s a pine tree; some [...]
Stanford swimming: Still the hottest
The men’s swimming and diving team of Leland Stanford Junior University has been a favorite of Outsports for years. From the photo, you could probably guess 33 reasons why that’s the case. They dominated men’s swimming in the 1990s, winning four titles in seven years, but they’ve played second fiddle to Auburn and Texas since; [...]
