We need to fill up Haas Thursday night. It is the biggest game in 50 years. I propose free admission for anyone showing a Student ID FOR THIS GAME ONLY. Free Burritos would help.

I would suggest we email Sandy, but She never responds so I have a link to the Assistan AD in Sports Information, Herb Benenson. He has always responded to emails and would likely get the message to Sandy. Any other ideas are welcome. The Students probably won't come without the free food.

If the students won't come without free food, **** 'em. They won't give a damn about the game either.

[oskidunker]

If we get them to act as a filler for the bench they might be coorced by peer pressure to cheer and thus reignite the whole bench. I would not expect much from those seated in other palces.

That's how much some tix are.
Even starving students can scrap together that much.

No excuses.
Come to the game.

While there are some genuinely starving students who work and need every single penny, I bet half of the UC population is bankrolled by daddy's ATM machine and spend like they just learned how (because they did). I'm going to do a social networking experiment blurb very soon.

Have not come since. I know it sounds silly but it is true.

I hear you. And it's sad. But I don't think it's because they don't have the money they don't come. They think a free IHOP breakfast is worth it enough to come.

I'm going to be at the game, but late because of class. Why do we start at 6?

[Mama Bear]

Nice--pick on Herb. How would you like it if someone flooded your e-mail with nothing related to your responsibilities? I think most who post here will have better sense.

And, psal--TV contracts, TV contracts, they rule our sports lives now.

[oskidunker]

I will be happy to remove my post. Emails to Sandy Barbour receive no responses. Who should we write to?

[bluepod]

I am afraid I won't be there. Don't worry my tickets have been given to someone else who will be. 6 pm is not reasonable for those of us who still work for a living and can't eat stadium food for health reasons. I thought the network that broadcasts the PX is limited only to the West Coast, why such an early start otherwise?

flying in from Austin is there any good parking near HAAS THX

[Beardog26]

There is a 6 floor parking garage between Durant and Channing (with entry and exit from each street), a half block west of Telegraph (directly across Durant from Yogurt Park and Kips). There is validation at some of the local eateries and shops. Even without validation, 2-3 hours is $10-12 and 3-4 hours is like $15-20. Pretty good for the close access to Haas.

ESPN2, that's why. And I think most of us like that exposure. But I hope we can fill up Haas for the biggest game of the season.
