I suspect you are not the Lone Ranger. Pass this on to Knowlton or his successor.RJABear said:
Tough question. We have had season tickets to FBall and BBall for more than 30 years. We sit in the stadium club for football and fourth row mid-court for basketball.
We have attended most of the games this year. We also attended all the games in Holmoe's last year, all the games during Sonny's first year, and all but one of the Wyking games.
We live in Napa so it is a drive to get to weeknight games, To answer the question
- We will not make the drive for the remaining home games this season.
- I don't know whether we will get tickets for next season. That had been an automatic yes for decades.
Throw it back to you a bit, because you are a student: among your friends, how would you and they answer this question?eastcoastcal said:

None of my friends had any interest in going with me to games this season. Even the free t-shirt giveaways couldn't make up for the game to them this year. In my life I've never generally had a problem going to games even when my professional teams have been bad. I can usually find some enjoyment in the sport and gameday atmosphere even when they lose a lot. But this season it just hasn't even been fun. We are just so poorly coached and it hurts to watch the on court product. The energy's so lackluster in the crowd, which makes sense since what is there to root for? It's just not enjoyable to go to the games, as many people here have said. I think I'd sit out next year if Fox is back.mbBear said:Throw it back to you a bit, because you are a student: among your friends, how would you and they answer his question?eastcoastcal said:

All I want is ONE good season in football or basketball before I graduate. Just one!! Please!!!
You bring up a great point od... I mean the on court product is obviously awful. But is the department actively sabotaging or ignoring basketball entirely? For the first portion of the season there were no micmen/lady for the student section, the band missing, etcoskidunker said:Plus the band was not at half the games.eastcoastcal said:None of my friends had any interest in going with me to games this season.

It's either administrative negligence or administrative malice

I didn't watch it this year because he wasn't fired. So no. No way.eastcoastcal said:

And I've been a fan since the 70's, season tix for years until I moved away from the Bay but even after that I've always managed to make 4-5 games and went to great lengths to get the abysmal Pac-12 network just so I could watch Cal hoops.
This program is dead.
I haven't watched Cal basketball in two years. What's the point? When we start taking the program seriously again, maybe I'll watch.eastcoastcal said:

Absolutely. No college coach in history has had to deal with more injuries than Coach Fox! John Wooden, Coach K, Roy Williams and Dean Smith would struggle to win four games with such an injury depleted roster!!! It's just an incredible, unbelievable string of bad luck! Just wait until everyone is healthy and he has a true off-season/preseason to mold this group into a champion!

Many cal students have shar d this dream. Only few have succeeded.
Try being a townie who attended an undergraduate institution where Hockey is king. It is INFINATELY worse as Cal is your only team and has all the emotional connections that come from starting to root for them at the age of 7. Like Michael, just when you think you have gotten out they pull you back in.panda said:Econ141 said:eastcoastcal said:None of my friends had any interest in going with me to games this season.

It's funny seeing Eastcoastcal follow every student's trajectory of being a Cal sports fan in college. You start off optimistic and filled with spirit… only for it to be crushed as the years progress.
I really hope his experience isnt the same but damn it might start looking that way…
