As football season hits the midpoint, The Bootleg hits its stride with what
has been widely regarded as the finest edition of this new magazine printed to
date. October's phat and juicy stories, exclusive to the glossy and glitzy
pages of the renewed print incarnation of the Booty, hit a broad array of hot
and timely topics:
- A story that has long been very near and dear to our collective heart is
the Stadium. God bless her for her history and grand memories, but the
Old Lady is showing her age, especially relative to the grandeur of today's
Stanford Athletics programs and all of the updated and upgraded facilities
on campus. In the most comprehensive story written to date on the
State of the Stadium, we take a look at not just what is ailing with her,
but what can be done and what is (or isn't) being done. The
timeliness of this cover story is paramount, with the recent decision to
include the Bay Area as one of two final bid cities for the USOC's bid for
the 2012 Olympics, and the impending final decision versus the other
finalist, New York City.
- Though Domers flock to The Bootleg's message boards like stink to a South
Bend yard sale, resilient Stanford fans know and appreciate some of the
classic battles that Stanford and Notre Dame have fought in the recent years
of this annual rivalry. Though this season's affair went awry in that
fateful third quarter, we celebrate the memory of the battle ten years ago
when Bill Walsh traveled into the shadow of Touchdown Jesus to upset Dame's
own lil' Napolean (the unlovable Lou Holtz) in a game for the ages.
Relive the big plays by Lynch, Milburn, Roberts and more in the most
definitive and colorful account of the '92 game you will ever read.
- Do you know what the Watkins Award is? Are you aware that Stanford
friggin' owns this honor with a gaggle of current student-athletes on
the football team - like so many trophy miniature Sears Cups that adorn Ted
Leland's dashboard? Maybe one of the great untold stories about the
excellence that defines the young men on this Stanford football team is
finally told as we explore this award for top African-American
student-athletes in high school, and its countless honorees on campus today.
- An increasing theme on The Bootleg over the past few years has been the
focus of the offense's success as it correlates with the health, talent and
coaching on the offensive line. And as two departed NFL talents are
being replace and a new offensive scheme is being installed, the O-line is
finding itself under the tutelage of their third line coach in the last
three years. The new man on the job is Steve Morton, and he is
examined for both his resume and his core philosophies by none other than
former Cardinal center T.J. Gaynor in this unique look.
- In case you didn't notice, October 12 just came and went on The
Farm. Though the date may be best remembered as the game the Cougs
took the Card to the Cuisinart, or maybe even the visit weekend for stud
two-sport recruits Evan Moore and Jai Miller, it was also the first day
allowed by the NCAA for basketball practices. Across the country at
midnight, top hoops schools launched aerial dunk displays, propoganda
portfolios, thundering coaches' speeches and packed arenas. But Maples
Pavilion slowly gathered dust that night with no Midnight Madness to speak
of. In this memorable Point/Counterpoint, we explore both sides of
this controversial issue as we ask the question: Should Stanford have a
Midnight Madness?
- You sure heard enough hoopla about it here on TheBootleg.com, as we
tirelessly pushed our inaugural BootTrain from Chicago to South Bend and
back for this year's Notre Dame game. It was an overwhelming success,
and we have received feedback with unbridled excitement and gratitude from
those three hundred Cardinalmaniacs who joined the irreverent journey.
But did you know that the history of the South Bend train extends as far
back as 1978? While you scratch your head and try to figure out how
the train trek could have been spawned some ten years before the current
series with Dame began, get thee a copy of this October issue to read
all about the man with the vision and the grassroots beginnings of this
grand tradition.
- Lindsey Yamasaki made a big splash when she first came to Stanford
four-plus years ago, as an all-everything superstar in both volleyball and
hoops. "The next Kristin Folkl" was the hype and
expectation, but she has had a rocky road to endure through her time at
Stanford with both injuries and pressure to drop her beloved
volleyball. But now after concluding her Stanford hoops playing days
and her tumultuous rookie season in the WNBA, the Yaminator is back on
campus to finish her degree and get that National Championship she has been
longing for. Her complete and candid story is told in the pages of The
Bootleg Magazine.
- A monthly feature of the magazine is the much talked-about Hot List.
This section brings you some of the hottest recruits for both football and
basketball, with all their vital info, national rankings and latest
recruiting buzz. Rumor has it that Buddy Teevens and Mike Montgomery
have taken these pages and pinned them up in their offices. No longer
do you just get your recruiting fix from the stories, Hot News and message
boards on TheBootleg.com - now you can get your Cardinal crystal meth in
print each month...
