The “Cal isn’t a football school” trope, unfortunately, is not entirely based in complete myth. Or, rather, it is sometimes understandable why the trope looks to be true, especially with slipping attendance numbers and at times rather depressing student sections. But not during the Big Game.
Saturday’s 27-15 win against Stanford put to bed any concern that Cal fans or students don’t care about football. In fact, it showed just how much it matters to the student body and alumni.
A lot of things have gone awry this season, from the quarterback and special teams fiascos to a number of one-score heart wrenching losses. But students, alumni and the community as a whole still care, they just need to be given a reason to.
