I think there are probably more Stanford people who aren't doing that touristy stuff, because:
1) They did it last year and the novelty wore off.
2) They're locals who were never going to do it in the first place (for various reasons, like it not making sense to drive from San Diego up there, back down, then back up there), and that was disguised a little bit last year because Wisconsin and Stanford are both red.
I definitely expect them to outnumber us a little bit, maybe 55-45 (among people with a rooting interest), but I don't think you experience
necessarily points in that direction.
