Things keep getting better for the Stanford Cardinal, who just this past weekend made the Trojans look like the sisters of the poor, as it was announced that Tiger Woods will be an honorary captain in the Cardinal rivalry game against Cal this coming Saturday.

Coach Jim Harbaugh says it will be an honor to share the sidelines with “the greatest competitor of our generation.

He will also be honored at halftime when he will be presented with a plaque signifying his induction into the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame.

Woods spent two years at Stanford, winning the Pac-10 and NCAA championships in 1996.

Yeah he’s a golfer that will just be a fan. But as a fan, I refuse to believe we actually have no impact on the game itself, so in my convoluted mind it certainly doesn’t hurt the Cardinal to have Mr. Woods standing on the sidelines. Perhaps if they win, another Stanford alumnus, Kal Penn, can stop by for a celebratory joint.
