WSU151 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Because Stanford's cardinal IS a type of tree.This doesn't make any sense. Stanford's tree logo is from the school seal and from the seal of the city. The tree is literally El Palo Alto. http://www.gostanford.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=208445366"Cardinal" is strictly from the school color, not the tree.Common knowledge. And watching college football for 20+ yearsHaha. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe that you've heard that story more than once from various educated persons. And I really hope you didn't hear TV commentators make this claim multiple times over the 20+ years you've been watching football because it makes zero sense and is completely wrong.
