Am going Monday and Wednesday of next week, and intend to check out standing-room "seating" (great view, no seat: $92, instead of $250 or more). My plastic-and-titanium hip shouldn't really be sat on that much, so I don't mind. Anyway, half the crowd is on their feet much of the time. I'll let you know how it goes.

For those of you going to the game, will you be wearing Cal gear, Valkyries attire or a combination?
Go Valkyries! Go Bears!

Can you train a raven to sit on your head?

I can top your materials list with a plastic and titanium and zirconium (plus small amounts of aluminum, vanadium, and niobium) knee. But I can't top your endurance, the knee shouldn't be stood on that much. Or your wallet, mine is stuffed with Washingtons not Franklins.

Eek. I've heard knees are very difficult. ("Notwithstanding," BearBloke adds sympathetically.) I hope the standing-room thing works for me, because I'd like to see more games next season and don't want to spend venture capital and don't want to be staring straight into the Jumbotron.

I actually visited the Cal table that was set up (see photos attached). 3 Bears were on hand to greet fans and there was a rather long line waiting to spin the wheel to win some Cal swag and meet the the players. Coach Huth was there along with several other staff and we had a nice conversation about the upcoming season, etc. I actually was happy to see our Cal staff and players engage with women's basketball fans. While the focus on the court was Violet's birthday, I DO think that this type of community fan outreach is a good thing. Charmin has been present (and announced on court) at other games and assisted with t-shirt toss (she's got a great arm) so Cal has been more visible in Chase than our Palo Alto rival (and I've attended every home game this season).
As for the game itself, I actually enjoyed seeing how Nakase handled having two of her best (Stokes and Salan) out with injury. Stopping 6'7" Cardoso in the post was job one and seeing DP Ashten Pretchel play meaningful minutes was fun. She did pretty well playing 18 minutes, 3 points (3 of 3 at the FT line) and giving Cardoso some problems under the basket. She can also handle the ball pretty well in terms of passing, etc. Tiffany Hayes performance was also great fun to witness....on the cusp of 37 and she's got the quickest first step in the game. I had a great time.

I went to Cal night last year (by chance, I didn't know it was that night) and they had the band, Oski, and cheerleaders outside. Violet's bday was the main theme of last night, though.
