Haven't seen the Cal Athletics Twitter account post it yet but the ACC released the conference game schedule earlier today. We get Duke at Haas on Tuesday or Wednesday Jan 13th or 14th and UNC the following Saturday on the 17th. Kinda wished ot would be after the winter break but should still be a packed house

Awful timing. Maybe the least interesting home schedule for students ever between the super weak noncon + missing nearly all the interesting games due to winter break.

Brutal!!

I suspect the students will show up for marqui games. Not all go home. If they don't we could have three games with more opposing fans ala Arizona

Highly doubt many students come back to campus from winter break just for the game. Honest opinion. I would, my friends would, but we're not a good barometer

I never went home. Stayed in my apt on Hillegas. Short walk to Harmon.

January is kind of a brutal way to start the ACC season. Three of our first six opponents will be Top 25 (Duke, UNC, Louisville). I expect those two NC-team games to be a humbling Haas experience but of course will still be there to represent.
The other games are winnable, but if we end up dropping 4 or 5 of these first six I worry that the Forum doomsday sayers will start chasing their tails.
