His mom, Julie, will sit in the Stanford family section, though she’s planning to wear a neutral gray sweater.
Every year around this time, hundreds of families in the Bay Area find themselves divided between Cal fans and Stanford supporters, thanks to the proximity of the schools and the strength of their alumni networks.
“It’s something that is kind of surreal,” Tristan said. “When I think about all those moments of being a little kid and just being a spectator, now being able to play in it is really crazy.”“I give my mom some flack sometimes,” Tristan said. “I’m like, ‘You should stay true to your school.’ But while I’m here she’s going to support me.”“I want Stanford to kill them,” Julie said.
Tristan’s sister, Alina, grew up rooting for Cal alongside her mom – Alina dressed up as a Cal cheerleader when she was 6, which led to plenty of ribbing for Andy from his former Stanford teammates. Alina wound up graduating from Cal and married a former Cal rugby player earlier this year. Tristan even wore a Cal T-shirt for his sophomore yearbook photo at San Ramon Valley High – a photo that Julie promised she wouldn’t share until Tristan graduated, but “as soon as he’s done playing, it’s coming out.”
Tristan remembers talking to Richard Sherman after a game when he was about 8 years old and telling the then-Stanford cornerback that his dream was to play for the Cardinal.
