Stanford students may recognize a familiar face sitting in their class -- Nike CEO Phil Knight. The gazillionaire has been taking undergraduate classes periodically over the past three years. He's also been known to hit up the local bars with his wife, Penny -- even picking up the tab in most cases. Oh, did we forget to mention that he donated $105 million to his alma mater, the Stanford Graduate School of Business, in 2006.

First, only two coaches voted Oklahoma as the No. 1 team -- coach Bob Stoops and his old friend Steve Spurrier. Second, Texas coaches hate Hawaii. Former Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione had Hawaii ranked as No. 22, while Texas Tech coach Mike Leach had the Rainbows at No. 17.

The tradition was started by former Hawkeyes coach Hayden Fry, a psychology major who said pink had a calming and passive effect on people. Some, however, feel the pink is derogatory toward women, intending to make visiting teams feel like "sissies."
