Yes I watch other teams. Love to see ND, UF and FSU lose. But as a fan, I support Stanford (I live in Cali). Why?
My best buddy from high school (way back in the day) played at Stanford. We are still best friends. He follows Cane recruiting and watches them on TV. He has already sent me a text congratulating the Canes on the Brevin Jordan commit. I do the same, following Stanford recruiting and going to one game per year.
Tailgating at Stanford is very fun, parking on the grass under the Eucalyptus trees surrounding the stadium. Chill atmosphere. Just as much wine as beer consumed by the affluent alumni base. Watching Christian McCaffrey was a pleasure. Most versatile RB since Reggie Bush.
By the way, Stanford is VERY concerned about and opposed to the new early signing date in December. The Admissions Dept there has always insisted on seeing grades from a recruit's first senior semester before signing off on admitting that recruit. Now, they will have to accelerate that admission decision or risk losing players to other top schools willing to guarantee admission. David Shaw is scrambling.
