Vanguard's Awesome Halftime

Just a quick heads up - we have a great halftime act planned for this Sunday, as Stanford's wrestling team will be performing during our game against Vanguard! This is your chance for a sneak preview of the wrestling team before the team opens its season with a wrestle-off on November 6. Last season, Stanford Wrestling won eight duals, had four top-three Pac-10 placers, and sent two wrestlers to compete for a national title at the NCAA Championships. Prepare to be entertained!

Which side are you on?

At Saturday's open practice we had the first group of people get on the bus. For some reason the right side seems more popular than the left. I'm on the left so I don't understand.

Please remember what Tara said. The sides don't have any political meaning!

Here's a list of who is already on the bus.

I'm on the Bus, Are You?

Hey Everyone,

I want to tell you about the newest Women's Basketball promotion: a season-long attendance competition.

Each member of the Stanford Women’s Basketball Program chooses his or her seat on the bus prior to the team’s first road trip. The seat remains the same throughout the season and many team jokes stem from sitting on either the right or the left side of the bus.

As FBC members, you have the opportunity to choose a Side to support for the entire season. Maybe you want to side with a Hall of Fame head coach, an All-American post player, or even the writer of this blog entry (go LEFT SIDE!). Whatever you choose, your Side will be your team throughout the season. More information will be available at the Wine Tasting, but be sure to choose your Side by October 17, as roster sign ups will take place at the open practice!

DETERMINING THE GREATEST SIDE

Each game will feature a player or coach from either the Right or Left Side. When a player from your Side is featured, bring your friends! Each new fan attending on behalf of the featured player counts as a point toward that player’s Side. Play along and help your favorite players earn points by inviting your friends on her behalf as well!

GOALS & BENEFITS

• Introduce new fans to Stanford Women’s Basketball through FBC fans who love the game
• Increase awareness of Stanford Women’s Basketball in the community.

Until Every Seat Is Filled,

Sarah Boruta
