1. As a Cal Berkeley alumnus, may I say:

"Hey Stanford! You and your silly tree mascot suck royally! And who the hell names their teams after a color? Oh, I remember -- a college that's trying to be juuuuuust like Hah-vahd. Crimson. Cardinal. Come on!"

8. Ha

"The tree's movement is usually consistent with that of someone who's had something to drink."

9. That's a new one.

I've heard of willows weeping but never drinking.

10. No offense to Stanford people...

But your mascot is a TREE?

That's just not that exciting a mascot.

"The Trees take the field!" Sounds more like secondary succession than sports. Vegetation just doesn't work as a mascot for me. What next, the Carrots? The Artichokes?
