When I was on campus in the late 1980's, I never once heard someone actually call Cal fans "weenies".

I did however see lots of references that we called them weenies, especially in print as cited in the article.

It's similar to how some people now say the fog in San Francisco is named Karl.

When I arrived in Fall '66, the term used was not weenies.  It started with T and referred to fecal matter.  Ironic because I first heard it from my RA who subsequently went to Boalt Law School.
