Walk a mile in a tree's, uh, shoes

Pat Forde was the Stanford Tree for a day during the Cardinal's game against Washington last week. Heh.

Although I must say, if he was sober at the time, I'm not sure he really got the true Stanford Tree experience.

Stanford leads UCLA at halftime by 12. Go Cardinal!

Stanford robbed! UCLA gets a very bogus call on what looks like a clean block...the announcers agree on this. Two free throws force OT. UCLA pulls away in the extra frame. UCLA got 24 free throws overall to Stanford's 8. The Cardinal didn't even get to shoot a free throw until the middle of the second half.

Major home cooking.

Jim, agreed. It was Georgetown and Tennessee all over again.

Hey Brendan, when it comes to controversial calls, have you ever seen anything like this before?

A grinning Collison, looking as giddy as a child that had just gotten away with something, was more than happy to comment on the play.

"That was block," said Collison. "That was a complete block. We were fortunate to get a foul called. I heard it was a make-up [call]."

Kevin Love, who had an equally large grin on his face, said, "We'll take it," before he shushed Collison.

If I was Stanford, I'd be pissed.
