I saw Stanford play women's basketball 2 yrs ago here in Tempe, AZ, and the tree mascot really made an ugly, profane display of himself. I am really surprised the school lets him do that. If you haven't seen his "work" before, prepare yourself.
Now, somebody fill us in on the team itself. Wiggins, etc. Thanks

[TopDaugIn2000]

we've had trouble with them in the past, hopefully we can handle em this year though.

Their coach is a bull dyke? :texan:

A recent story had a SHE as the tree and SHE had a flask inside it shortly before being escorted from a game.

That mascot is an insult to proud trees everywhere, and should be baned.

(02-16) 14:59 PST STANFORD UNIVERSITY -- The Stanford University tree has been toppled for being drunk on the job.

The student wearing the costume of the legendary mascot was suspended from duty after UC Berkeley police observed her drinking from a flask during a Stanford-Cal basketball game last week, officials said today.

"She was taking drinks inside the tree,'' said Kevin Klintworth, assistant athletic director at Cal. "The officers could see the flask through the costume.''

Erin Lashnits, 23, a fifth-year undergraduate biology student, was given a breath test shortly after halftime of the Feb. 9 game at Haas Pavilion. Authorities said the test showed she had a blood alcohol level of 0.15 percent, nearly twice the legal limit for driving. She was cited for public drunkenness and told to leave the court but was allowed to watch the rest of the game from the grandstand.

Lashnits acknowledged that she was intoxicated but denied that she had a flask or that she had been drinking during the game.

"I apologize,'' she said. "I made a bad decision and I wish I could take it back.''

The defrocked tree, who plans to apply to become an astronaut and hopes one day to walk on the moon, said she could not believe the results of the breath test.

"I don't think these things lie, but I felt fine and I was certainly able to do my job,'' she said. "I'd like to put this whole thing behind me. The last thing I want to do is hurt the Stanford band.''

The band oversees the tree. Spokesman Sam Urmy said the incident began as a misunderstanding when Lashnits began prancing in the middle of the court, as she is allowed to do at Stanford, instead of confining her routines to under the basket, as Cal requires. That's when officers began observing her more closely, Urmy said.

"She wasn't doing anything offensive,'' Urmy said. "She was just jumping and dancing. The tree's movement is usually consistent with that of someone who's had something to drink.''

The imbibing tree violated the terms of the band's three-year alcohol ban, which Stanford administrators imposed after band members got drunk on a notorious bus ride home from a USC football game in Los Angeles in 2003.

Urmy said the band would be picking a new tree next month. He said the band had relieved the tree of duty on its own accord, before the university took action.

"We wanted to take care of this ourselves,'' he said. "It's not that big a deal.''

I might have seen the full-blown obscene tree act 2 yrs ago . Sounds like you might not be able to witness the tree at all, SAS.

OK, we are caught up on the tree knowledge(except whether there will be one at the game), now some knowledgeable person tell us particulars about their team, please.
