I plan to be there.
I hope they pack the HAAS!
I also hope they stream it on you tube or some other freebie.

Okay, I really REALLY hate to be like this, but wouldn't it have made sense in the "Late Night at Haas" promo add to actually put the date and time of the event right in the ad? Is this what you would call a typical Cal sports marketing disfunction?
In the emails that my kids got, the time and date was in the ad graphic
Not sure what ad you are talking about but if you click on the link in the first post above you will have all the info.RedlessWardrobe said:

general public tix ($0.00) are now available on calbears
I know this is trivial but when you click the link and you look at the specific advertisement (artwork) of the event within the borders there is no date or time. Just thought it would make sense to put it in there. As the other poster stated later it was included in specific emails.Basketball Bear said:Not sure what ad you are talking about but if you click on the link in the first post above you will have all the info.RedlessWardrobe said:

see you all there tonight
I thought this exhibition was downright weird. Spectators were restricted to a few sections on the east side so some people had to sit pretty close to the rafters. The main lights were off the entire time, making it hard for spectators and presumably also for the athletes. Way too much amplified noise and too little Straw Hat Band. No flow to the program. After some gymnastics warmups and some 3-point shooting it degenerated into chaos.
On the good side our women's coach Charmin Smith did her best to get the crowd involved, Oski and one of the cheerleaders showed some moves, and Devin Curtis was rocking a pair of shades in the dark.

Yeah *** was that. It was an odd event. There really weren't any exhibitions scheduled, except gymnastics and a very brief 3-pt contest.
Stunnaman2's rap performance was about 45 late, so I'm guessing that's why the event went south so quickly.
But I will say, Jalen Cone effortlessly knocked down about 15/17 threes. And Jaylon Tyson has some serious ups. Watching those two, for even 30 seconds, you can tell there is skill and ability infinitely higher than anything we saw last year. Fardaws didn't participate in any skills stuff.
the straw hat band finished the night with a nice set. My son, who's in the band, said afterwards "what was the point of playing tonight", referencing the 50 or so fans remaining at the end of the event.

Beginning with the band would have been a huge improvement.udaman1 said:

Did they play a game?
Go Bears!
No. They introduced the whole team. Madsen said about 15 words. Team sat down on the sidelines. Couple of half a** three point shooting events. Teams standing around fo 30 mins. Stunnaman2 rap performance. Straw Hat Band performance.oskidunker said:

A ton of students were there, but OUTSIDE Haas, claiming their free pizza/chicken sandwich. Obviously most didn't go inside. There was a lot of production put into this event, with the lighting, steam effects, and music, that made the whole thing a little embarrassing, considering the turnout.
Well, certainly the team has an opportunity to win fans back. This is the most talent on the team since probably the Jaylen Brown days. Need to stack up some wins.
The whole event was a disaster. The canned music was so loud the announcer could not be heard announcing various athletes. Started late, and first 10 minutes was dedicated to advertising Tik Tok and Facebook and the like. The announcer was terrible, even failing to identify that she was introducing the gymnastics team, just went straight to athlete's names, etc. Why do anything just to have the athletes sit around bored? Charmin was the highlight of the event, but again, why put this much effort in to a "pep" rally? Finally, does anybody think that a set by a rap DJ is going to entice the adults in attendance? I would have preferred less production and a viewing of a scrimmage.

Glad we missed it. Thanks. I was thinking of going.

Midnight Madmess
Bummed to hear that it wasn't a well run event. Here's hoping the respective seasons get off to a better start.
According to accounts, this show has deteriorated from being about basketball to being about commercialism.stu said:Absolutely!bearchamp said:

Bring back Midnight Madness full bore, with the Straw Hats playing "Louie, Louie" as loud as it can get. That worked great to end UCLA's streak of wins over us. Need to get a song they can play for Mad Dog Madsen, and it needs to be better and louder, because now that Wyking and Fox are done, every team I can think of has a win streak against Cal. BTW, I saw the promo. Is tuition at Cal now $50,000? When I went to Cal, there was no tuition, only fees of $64 per semester.

Current tuition is $15602 per year. Student health insurance adds $3858 which can be waived if you have equivalent coverage. Living expenses are a lot more so I can imagine a $50000 total.
In my time (1967-1970) $500 per year covered fees and books. Dorm living added $125 per month, a typical apartment (with 2 per room) rented for about half of that plus whatever you wanted to spend on food.

So they didn't have the food inside so they at least had to come inside?udaman1 said:No. They introduced the whole team. Madsen said about 15 words. Team sat down on the sidelines.

That would have been the smart move, correct. But they were handing out pizza and chicken sandwiches in front of the Haas steps.HoopDreams said:

Cal Athletics is just one big shyte show.
They didnt want to hire people to clean up inside. Thats why they closed the west side. A half assed event.
Go Bears!
Yep. My expenses (1959-65) were slightly less. I had a summer job and a hashing job, along with odd carpentry jobs, but still could not pay all my expenses. It must be impossible now to work one's way through school.stu said:

Furd just reached out to Mad Dog, back channels, told him how they could do it much better.
My parents both worked their way through Cal right before WW2. I had it much easier with their help and a small scholarship. I got pocket money by working at the dorm on the phone switchboard and assisting the maintenance man. Now there's money to be made in social media but not everyone is attuned to that.SFCityBear said:

This level of incompetence doesn't just happen.
It takes effort and planning and teamwork!
My next Knowlton Notes will let me know how wonderfully it all came together.
If they don't want people to go inside (because it costs too much for the staffing - sheer genius), then just set up a JK dunk tank in the plaza and charge $20 per toss. $50 for battery acid in the water.
Guaranteed Sellout.

1959-1962....Worked canneries in Sunnyvale at lowest union wage, hashed tables and dishwashing at Bowles and Stern....Total cost for the year $1700 including $.25 to have a collared shirt washed and ironed, $89 incidental fee (no tuition), free entry to sports with student card, residence hall about $900/year......Folks helped out with about $200/year....SFCityBear said:Yep.

Dental school was a bit of a different story with having to buy and equipment kit for $700 on day one...Had to school through the summer too, so income suffered.
Those were the days, but then the priorities in the State of California was building infrastructure (dams and freeways) and the University of California plus public schools. Much, much less in social services. You want more, you pay more.
