Good story max.
I live in Southern California and for the longest time all I would hear when I mentioned I was a Rams fan was "I'm sorry." Now, it's an entirely different response, like "man, they are really looking good" or "they are an exciting team to watch." Also, some of my friends who gave up on them when they moved are now fans again since they've come back.
It feels good and I hope it lasts!
