While the Boilermakers were scooping community water from a bucket, Stanford’s smarty boys already had eight years’ experience drinking from a pressurized tank dispensing its water through multiple nozzles. Those Bay Area fellas were into multi-tasking and efficient systems way back when.
Of course, it was a bunch of Florida guys that put the Gator in Gatorade and we’ll cover that in the full article.
