Ah, why do you guys hate Stanford?

It's a traditional Bay Area rivalry that dates back to the first "Big Game" in 1892.

When not playing Cal, I don't mind if Stanford wins. To me they're only Stanfurd when they face the Golden Bears.

Private school vs. public school. Conservative Hoover Institute vs. the decedents of Mario Savio. Oh and Leland Stanford did not "own" slaves but he used Chinese slave labor to build his railroad. Many were killed. Google Leland Stanford and Chinese labor.

Another good question, why do SF Giants fans hate the LA Dodgers so much? Dates back to to the New York City rivalry.

Fan is short for fanatic; it's not science. From AI: It stems from the Latin fanaticus, meaning "insanely but divinely inspired" or "of a temple."

Cal Stanford Big Game is about who gets the ax:
