I had to work in Anaheim for about two months. I've heard it said about California's lack of interest in watching and enthusiasm for college football is about the weather, beaches, and mountains. People have other things they want to do. That probably is true, but I have another takeaway from being there.
California has a very diverse international mix of people. A big percentage have grown up never watching football. For instance, on vacation in Yosemite I wore several of my Alabama championship tee shirts. You wouldn't believe how many people didn't understand. I had one lady ask me "What did you win a championship in?" After explaining, without taking offense, that is was college football, she asked me if I still had a good back. Btw, I'm 59, Lol. I had another guy tell me story about the the Braves when they were the Milwaukee Braves after seeing my shirt. I didn't have the heart to correct him.
