I hope someone is buying those ESP seats; go to the web site, plenty of open seats, especially the expensive ones.

I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again, how will the renovation of Memorial be paid for if the ESP seats don’t sell?

Long term debt without guaranteed income stream.
We’re one or two sub 500 seasons away from 30,000 at Memorial. We’re not Tennessee/Michigan/Notre Dame where a huge fan base will attend no matter what.

I do agree that Cal needs to make a push on marketing but I think now is the wrong time. I suspect after Memorial is complete, there will be a big push…and yes, we the fans will be paying for it.

Use to be the best and least expensive reserve non-donors seats were what $360 with the small add-on but no mandatory onation. I think that goes up to what…$450+…after the renovations.

Perhaps making an effort to reach out to new fans during the spring game would make sense.

Big spring games are becoming part of the landscape of college football and are being covered by ESPN.

Cal makes liitle or no effort. No email to ticket holders. No ticket info at game. No cheeleaders, band, Oski. No speech from the coach.

We can win with integrity. Duke basketball has been doing it for eons. Yours is a loser’s mentality.

Today UO announced another arrest (projected starting LB) and the Texas Street Agent who UO paid $25k talked. If you want that, big spring games (like the SEC) that’s your choice. I’ll take a clean program and football as a Fall sport. Go Bears!

That’s such a tired excuse. Eugene is full of recreational opportunities in addition to football — hiking, running, cycling etc. etc. The difference is they have a football team of national prominence and fans who care about it, and we don’t.

Now, you can always point to Stanford for evidence of an irretreivably dead fan base (no matter what the team is doing), but I’d like to think we’re a little better than that — or at least have the potential to be.

I’ll never know why Cal makes no effort to make the spring game(s) an event. Heck, even Stanford plays at Kezar.

I saw some of the UC Davis controlled scrimmage a few weeks ago; very enthusiastic play, shouting on multiple plays. Saw Cal in Sac and Saturday—-what a snore. This team has taken on the personality of the coach and that isn’t always a good thing.

Go Bears!

The people I know who have occasion to see — um — MANY practices don’t think we’ll have an OL this year. If that’s the case, it’s logical to conclude that mobility will be the most important thing. But once you’ve evaded the rush, you need to make the right decision with the ball. Unfortunately, JT doesn’t have the luxury of allowing himself to think that far.

Let’s hope Maynard figures some things out over the next 4 months.

I finally got something right!!
