my admission tix at gcu wuz 5 bucks, after the men's baseball game next door wuz over some students (total attendance wuz 5,000+) came over to cheer for the lopes in the softball stadium due to the FREE admission at both school events
Wow, free admissions? Imagine that. It's almost like the school want their students to come out and cheer for their student athletes or something.

oc bear, let's be real here, stupid people usually make stupid decisions

markeisha & knowlton r clueless re: the socioeconomic backgrounds of today's berkeley students at the #1 ranked public university in the world, they think these hard working students (many of them 1st generation college attendees with some family members working 2-3 jobs to pay the bills) can afford the $150 annual student pass for football & basketball tixs which is actually a middle class & above financial luxury

Let's hope Michelle isn't going anywhere. However Leilani has run out of eligibility.

agree. Michelle has grown leaps and bounds this year. Next year she will be a force, hopefully for Cal.

and I'm dreading Cal life after Leilani

yeah no days off don't apply to markeisha & knowlton who still haven't offered FREE tixs to all students for the final 2 home games this week

there are thousands of tixs still available for both men's games this week including saturday's senior day & sunday's women's senior day currently got 11,000+ unsold tixs

why would anyone want hard working broke azz students at the #1 ranked public university in the world cheering & creating loud gameday energy for their fellow students on senior days?

but gotta give markeisha credit, she does not discriminate, she is absolutely incompetent in branding/selling tixs for both the men's & women's teams

markeisha is arguably the least innovative person on planet earth, the day she is relegated (and that day is looming in the future) to berkeley parking enforcement with monday thru friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm shifts (with a break for a timely lunch) will be a step forward for the athletic department

(left to right, jalen "grand theft larceny" celestine, fardaws "11 boards" aimaq, jalen "2nd half" cone, keonte"get off my lawn" kennedy, grant "corner moneyballs" newell & the cal "red bull" bench)

despite an off shooting 3 of 15 field goals nite by team leader jaylen tyson & another empty haas thx to markeisha who is the least innovative sales/marketing director in the nation, the california golden bears dug down deep in the 2nd half to find a way to win a basketball game against a scrappy opponent...winning teams just find a way & that's wuz happened at haas pavilion tonite

not quitting reflects the personality of coach madsen

the turning point in the game wuz jalen celestine's 2 back to back thefts & throw down dunks


honestly think jalen with his developing defensive lockdown intensity, high basketball iq with unselfish tendencies & 46.1% 3 point sharpshooting could be a 1st team all acc player next season...and 6'5" jovani ruff could be the acc freshman player of the year

yeah defense wins college basketball games

the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (including long beach)

the #1 priority recruiting target for the cal basketball program is 6'5" 190 lbs top 50 player in the 202 class jovani ruff of long beach poly, the jackrabbits star player's lead recruiter is assistant coach/recruiting dynamo matt scherbenske with coach madsen also communicating regularly about the unique opportunity in berkeley

jovani can go just about anywhere but there's only one #1 ranked public university in the world that's close (but not too close like usc & ucla) to home that will put the ball in his hands from day 1 as the california golden bears enter the east coast centric acc next season

does ruff wanna go to an academically mediocre school like kansas or oregon and be another baller or does he wanna try to rebuild the cal basketball program like jaylen brown back in the cal's monster class era while also developing his intellect?...this is an articulate young man who is highly religious & that if basketball don't work out would pursue becoming a history teacher

jovani's only official visit thus far wuz back in september to cal during football season, the talented jazz pianist is not just a basketball player but he's an articulate, humble, well rounded young man who might be willing to take the path in the road that is the least traveled

and yeah he would be a leading candidate to becoming the acc freshman of the year while wearing a california golden bears jersey


the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (for those that wanna build generational wealth thru nba development with coach madsen & thru hard work in the classrooms of berkeley)

my moms (a berkeley grad) wuz poor as **** from a 2nd 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

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 $150 annual student pass (that's a middle class+ luxury)

yeah stupid people make stupid decisions

I was there tonight, and was shocked to see how empty Haas was. It was disheartening to look at the South end and see not just zero students, but zero people! The contrast to just a few weeks ago when the South end was jam packed for Stanford & USC was jarring.

The other thing about this whole issue is, when you go to the tickets section on the Cal website, the seats available on the map would indicate much bigger crowds (shows minimal seats available.) I honestly think the AD is manipulating the map in someway. Not sure what the motive is, but maybe there is no motive and it's just a display of incompetence.

Totally agree! Whenever a small crowd happens, it looks like there's less seats. However when a packed Haas is happening, he just lets out every seat available.

We have to send the seniors off right. They could have chosen to play at college basketball powerhouses, but they chose to play at Cal to turnaround the program. That is being a selfless player!

I assume this is a software "feature" (we might consider it a bug). The software probably only shows some seats available, and then when those are purchased, the software releases and makes more seats available for purchase. This is my best guess on why this happens. They probably don't want people all scattered throughout 11,000 seats, but rather would prefer fans to be closer to each other. Of course, when there's only 3,000 fans, people just move to wherever they want.

foxy, markeisha is indeed manipulating the tickets section on the cal website to make it appear there are bigger crowds than the actual attendances, her motives on this are unknown but she is a master of turning down the lights to try to not show all the empty seats at haas pavillion & continuing ed seminars she attends re: tarp management with respects to cal football at memorial stadium

6,105

that wuz the attendance for senior day (devin askew never really bought into the new program, good luck to him next year at realistically a mid major and monty bowser wuz a +1 athlete with limited basketball skillz) with haas pavilion NOT even 50% full

an opportunity to offer FREE tixs to the hard working students at the #1 ranked public university in the world to share in the magic of cal basketball & become future fans/donors wuz lost forever thanks to dumb azzs markeisha & knowlton

and this is why the future athletic director (hopefully former bears qb walk on/band member andrew mcgraw) & the next chancellor (hopefully fellow haas biz ad grad richard lyons) need to be berkeley grads that bleed blue & gold that innovatively comprehend wut needs to be done to sell out basketball & football games

mark madsen is an EXCEPTIONAL head coach & more importantly human being, it will be very interesting to see how the rest of this season & then post season plays out...

2024 california golden bears basketball roster:

yeah it's gonna be a rebuilt roster with a lotta new talent & that's just the nature of college athletics in today's fast paced environment with many of the restless seeking quick solutions to questions of the heart

point guard:
jeremiah wilkinson: the dynamic lefty from georgia will have the ball in his hands starting on day 1
vladimir pavlovic: rebuilding his shooting stroke this offseason is priority #1 for my favorite serbian

shooting guard:
rodney brown: alan crabbe jr gotta a beautiful stroke, playing d not so much

wing:
jalen celestine: reminds me of my friend theo robertson with his unselfish smoothness & ability to rain 3 point moneyballs thru the haas airspace

power forward:
grant newell: the time is now for everything (except a haircut), unlimited upside with greater defensive energy & intensity

bigs:
nd okafor: gotta lotta upside, getting healthy is priority #1
devin curtis: very bouncy with athleticism, gotta double down on building strength
gus larson: the ivy leaguer tole me at a football game he wuz promised a scholly for 2024

jaylon tyson is the WILDCARD, he's the difference maker between a good & great 2024 campaign, he will be receiving nba scouting feedback after the season & will then make a decision re: potentially entering the nba draft or returning to berkeley to polish his game

so right now there's 8 committed schollys of the ncca max 13 allocation with 5 open schollys which becomes 4 if jaylon returns to work towards a berkeley degree which is important for those that wanna build generational wealth in today's fiercely competitive global economy that unremorsefully favors the well educated (dumb azz ballers with no degrees face a steep uphill climb in life working handing out towels at 48 hour fitness with a wife from texas tech & a family)
