Stanford: has been told their university is the best, sports teams are

The best (Olympic sports anyway). The university’s rep is well earned, BUT… They have been told & apparently believe they’re “better than everyone else” So, although I didn’t have your interactions…I have a feeling that’s where your observations have roots If you think UVA is snooty…well…Stanford takes it to a new level ** Edited by hokiepro at 3/29/2025, 9:24:44 AM

yes, but some paint "not friendly" as rude or unfriendly
VAHokie89 • 03/29/25 11:25 AM ET
Spot on Will! They weren’t mean at all, just not engaging. And that’s ok. **

No handshake line at the end?

It is generally an end of series thing**
VAHokie89 • 03/29/25 10:25 AM ET
They usually do that after the last game in series when they’re playing
