Their fanbase here isn't that insufferable (maybe because we're far removed from the safety of California numbers). 

Is that because your current basis for comparison is Texas Longhorn fans?

It's because $C fans here remember their greatest-team-of-the-regular-season got whupped in a natty.  And as mentioned before, there's no safety in large numbers here...not that many $C alumni out here.  But there are more than there are Stanford alumni, I'm sure.  I find that crazed fans, when removed from the safety of their fellow crazies, sober up and realize that they are somewhat alone...
