My mom knows a woman whose son was on the Cal football team during the Tedford era (I believe her son played little or not at all due to injuries), who switched to being somewhat of a Stanford fan in recent years, or at least roots for them when they're on TV. She says she likes them because they're "smart" or some lame reason... I think she just got tired of watching Tedford's teams lose around 2010-2012 which she always complained about, while Stanford was winning. I think any winning team has about 50% fair weather fans typically. Like Giants fans suddenly started outnumbering A's fans in the East bay starting in 2009. Or for so many years, all the USC fans or people who wear USC gear, but went to college somewhere else.
