Stanford in The Orange Bowl

Posted in Events
January 3rd, 2011 by admin

Altaire hopes that you had a safe and happy new Year celebration.  But before you transition out of your celebratory mood, make sure you make plans to watch #4 Standford match up with #13 Virginia Tech in this year’s BCS Orange Bowl.

There is already talk of Stanford quarterback, Andrew Luck, going pro and many give the edge to Stanford.  But don’t count out Virgina Tech as they have a potent player in their dual-threat quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, as well.  Both teams have improved over the course of the season.  Stanford has 1 loss and the Hokies have 2, both at the beginning of their season play.  Both teams are very evenly matched so it should be a great game. It is the first meeting between the two schools and the first meeting between Pac-10 and ACC teams in the 77-year history of the Orange Bowl Classic.

Of course, living in Palo Alto, we do have our favorite….GO STANFORD!

Stanford is off to Florida where they will face off against Virgina Tech in the Orange Bowl in Miami on Janaury 3, 2011.  The Stanford football team has come a long way under the guidance of head coach, Jim Harbaugh, who inherited a program that posted a 1 -11 season prior to his hiring and now have an impressive 11-1 season, now at #4 in the BCS national ranking. This Orange Bowl should be an excellent game; the two teams have never played and Virginia Tech dominated the Atlantic Coast division, beating traditional powerhouse teams such as Miami and Florida State.

In a recent mercurynews.com article, Coach Harbaugh discussed the Orange Bowl challenge. “It’s a great bowl, and it’s a great reward for our players,” said coach Jim Harbaugh. “Now it’s known where we’re going, and our intent is to win it.”

Good Luck, Stanford.  We will be rooting for you!

In other local athletic news and not to be outdone by the Stanford Football program, Palo Alto’s High girls’ volleyball team ended an incredible season, posting many firsts for its volleyball program -  The Vikings won the SCVAL De Anza Division title, captured their first-ever Central Coast Section Division I crown, won their first Northern California championship and qualified for an appearance in the state finals for the first time. On Saturday the Vikings rallied for a thrilling five-set victory over Long Beach Poly in the CIF Division I state finals at the San Jose State Event Center. Quite an accomplishment and an incredible ending to an amazing season. Congratulations Vikings! A local paloaltoonline.com article describing this amazing athletic feat can be found here.
