huff tole me back in the day his dad (eye doc on long island) loved golf but had never been invited to play in the hamptons...so shocky arranged a game for us at friar's head (the coore & crenshaw masterpiece is the best modern course built in the world in the last 80 years)...while eating lunch at the palatial clubhouse terrace overlooking the atlantic ocean huff's dad asks our hosting member/baron of wall street outta the blue "how much did you have to steal from poor people in order to join this place?"

already qualifying for sectional qualifying on june 3rd at lake merced (clever gil hanse restoration, still too many homes/roads on the course's perimeter which detracts from the aesthetics, need to plant more leafy trees along the fence line ala san francisco golf club) is nathan wang after a 71 at la purisma...sampson zheng is exempt from local qualifying & will also compete at sectionals

the 2024 us open is gonna be played on the donald ross masterpiece pinehurst #2 (faithfully restored by coore & crenshaw a couple of years ago) on june 13-16th with max homa & collin morikawa already extended invitations and ben an a near lock for an invitation

This is *less* than it used to cost, isn't it? It's been a long time, but IIRC as a Cal student in the early 1990s I paid $99 just for men's hoops. Football was separate and I don't remember the cost for that.

a day in the life of a fool (with a berkeley degree):

https://instagr.am/p/C6uKQhfrNzF
early morning doggy dog hike up the mountain, benji aka scrappy doo don't listen to **** while beauty tells him to listen to daddy & misty mae just wanna know when she's gonna get some food around here at the tree fort



shocky went to nooner modern yoga with master teacher anton, not particularly focused (as usual) but great tunes & eye candy (as usual)

https://instagr.am/p/C5PtjNsrRDQ
then the monster went to the old town chop shop & got his daily 32 oz green drink & an avocado egg sandwich on sourdough with steak added on top for extra protein...yeah shocky smiles at all the lulu lemons

https://instagr.am/p/C4a9PjOOfm2
too nice of a day to just get some work done so shocky goes to nearby papago to hit some balls, the head pro greets yoga boy & tells me that there wuz a tournament in the morning & that the course is absolutely empty...let's ******* go so shocky slings his black maczenie bag over his shoulder & sets off on a 2 and a half hours walking round

but wait, when shocky arrives on the 7th tee there are 5 college girls & their head coach on the tee box, it's the upstate south carolina college women's golf team in town for a tournament...how you do think this played out?...gonna give u 5 bucks if u can guess what happened then, got it?

coach asks me wut i do for a living?

tell him ima "substitute yoga teacher at modern yoga"

not sure he believes me, whatever

then shoski turns to the girls & mock whispers "actually ima male azz stripper"

that gets everybody laughing, this **** is getting live

Prevailing thoughts on this? Not sure how many kids buy this. 4000? Does that really add much to the Athletic budget?
I think free admission and a jammed student section at every home FB game is more valuable. When they opened hoop games up for free, it seemed to make a difference in terms of filling up seats.

plus at least 3 times last year, the AD offered free tickets to FB games for certain job categories (first responders, teachers) and when it came down to it, they actually didn't check any credentials and gave tickets to whoever wanted them. This doesn't seem fair to students who shell out $125 for season tics.

I can tell you right now that the Davis game is going to have a pathetic showing.

thx for posting udaman (how wuz ur skiing trip to germany after the independence bowl?), this is yet another example of the obstinate markeisha's inability to adapt & innovate, she fails to understand that innovation requires action/implementation not just meaningless phrases with no substance

1st generation students from lower socioeconomic communities cannot afford $125 & yet another class of potential future season tix holders/donors will be lost forever

agreed the davis game will likely have a pathetic showing & that's on the clueless as **** markeisha & the absentee con artist who hired her

100%. It doesn't drive enough revenue to matter, and it's completely counterproductive. If you eventually want alums who support Cal athletics, you need to get them interested while they're students. Free tix = more attendance = more interest = more engaged alums. Plus, if you up the number of students at games, you up concessions sales which offsets a decent chunk of the the lost ticket revenue.

---

dave, when the next athletic director relegates the lazy azz markeisha to berkeley parking enforcement responsibilities, r u interested in becoming the next director of sales/marketing/branding?

Big C said:

$125 is a terrible price point. Cal is admitting a lot of "first generation" college students, who probably start out as non-college sports fans and also may come from families with limited means. They really need to come up with more attractively-priced packages. Maybe $10 for football games ($20 for Big Game), $5 for basketball games. Or $45 for all football games; $35 for all basketball games. Or how about just FREE!

100%

bearsandgiants said:

If Lyons is worth his salt, this summer he will announce free admission to all sports (until capacity) with priority given to those who Knowlton forced to pay, and a $125 concession or ASUC store merch credit for all those who did.

---

b&g, if knowlton is still the athletic director when the bears play uc davis on saturday august 31st at a mostly empty memorial stadium then cal football (and other sports) will be gone for good as we know them now

thinking the athletic department can continue to go forward on its current path toward a financial tsunami is simply the end of cal sports on a competitive level

my moms (a berkeley grad, 1st generation family college grad) wuz poor as **** from a 1st generation immigrant family growing up in san francisco, she never went to any sporting events during college because they never had a single disposable dollar so she did fun FREE things like walking on ocean beach with the family doggy zuma

fast forward to now, berkeley got a record number of 1st generation college students from socioeconomicly disadvantaged families (which shocky 100% supports, the redistribution of wealth in the united states thru elite educational opportunities to build generational wealth vs governmental handouts) that CANNOT afford the current $125 annual student pass (that's a middle class+ luxury)

yeah stupid people make stupid decisions



love you, moms#

---

the remarkable decision by markeisha & knowlton to once again try to unsuccessfully sell UNAFAFFORDABLE $125 student passes instead of offering FREE tixs for all students to all football & basketball games is yet another fatal example of them killing the gameday energy & failing to create a pipeline to future season tix holders/donors
