Still bitter over the W's moving from Oakland to SF. Would have preferred the GSV playing at the Oakland Arena instead of just using it for practice. Oakland needs help more than SF.

They didn't actually "move." The AASEG "bid" was all smoke and mirrors, a PR ploy. Note that AASEG has yet to complete its purchase of the Coliseum and is still "in the works."

I do agree it would have been nice to play in Oakland, and probably a better draw in the long run, but Oakland is too dysfunctional to make anything like that happen.

Michelle also photobombed Steve Kerr's appearance on the Jumbotron…or was it the other way around?

Great photo of Michelle!!! Her exuberance and celebration at the end of winning games will be missed. Will anyone else literally lift Charmin up in moments of victory! She certainly was a crowd and band favorite this season. It was wonderful to see Michelle improve her basketball skills playing all five years as a Bear. I certainly learned what a Moving Screen is!! I would think she received a Master's Degree yesterday at Graduation. The Best to Michelle who embraced the spirit of a Cal student athlete. Does anyone know if she is still into skateboards, and her career aspirations?

Michelle is one of my all time Top 5 favorite Bears (any sport).

Besides her elite athleticism, big personality and loyalty to the team, she embraced Cal, was a true student-athlete, always attended the Cal promotional events repping the University, supported many of the other sports athletes and teams, and is a warm and kind person

I love the comment that she is in your top 5 no matter the sport. That's cool. One of my brothers has kids that attended or still attend the same high school as Michelle did. My nieces and nephews all say the same thing, that she was maybe the most interesting person on campus and well loved. She is def a one of one. Go Bears!
