I Hate Stanford

I learned to hate Stanford since birth. I grew up a Cal fan. I lived through Cal futility as they lost the Big Game 7 years in a row. I thought I had divorced myself from my Stanford woes by going to UCLA, but I was wrong. They derailed UCLA football on their last run for a national championship in 2001. Stanford haunts my existence. As great as this football season has been, I have always been wary, telling my friends to hold their emotions, "...until the beat Stanford." Then, and only then, would I start believing.

My friends... start believing.
