This is the first I've heard of it, so I would assume it has ended.
Maybe this is just me (but it certainly applies to my cohort), but I think that this rivalry is pretty congenial, and most people think that sort of thing is dumb. When I see Cal fans call us "the school I wish I had gotten into" or other stuff I just shake my head and wonder what's wrong with them. I get that if you go to Ohio State or Alabama or Florida or any of those schools where there's not much pride in the institution outside of sports and these rivalries are one of the most important pieces of social cohesion, but that was just not true at Stanford and I can't fathom why it would be true at Cal either. But it sure seems to be a lot more common.
