If you're a Stanford student, come to Maples early to get your free WBB tank top and eat free BBQ from Jimmy V before the game. Everyone:
Bring non-perishable food items for the
Stanford vs Cal Big Food Drive!
Stay in Maples after the game and move to the section behind the Stanford bench for the first "tent" of the season. Which freshman will give the first "Oh, I forgot to tell you ..." five-minute talk? I'm betting it's Chiney.
Tara and C. Vivian Stringer go way back, to a game in 1985 when 22,157 people watched Ohio State (coached by Tara) play Iowa State (coached by C. Viv). Since then, they have coached against each other, Stanford vs Rutgers, six times — Stanford has won the last five contests.
