Now that I can no longer root for an ACC team in the Woman"s Championship, I will now root for ,"The Duke of The West"
Stanford and Duke are as close a comparison as you can get. They are both in the top 7 academically rated universities. Stanford is more well endowed, especially their athletic teams, both have beautiful campusses.
Stanford's MBA School is higher rated than Fuqua as is their Law Scool, but I believe that Duke's Med School is slightly higher rated...not that any of that makes any difference. They are both GREAT institutions !!!
Stanford-Cal is a great rivalry, but not as intense as Duke-UNC. Actually their football rivalry is more intense than Duke-UNC football, ( probably stems from the fact that both Duke and UNC to date have awful football programs )
GO CARDINAL !!!!
I'm rooting for Stanford just after watching them play last night. They were fantastic and just looked like they were having a great time all along.
