Thank you 707 for bringing up KA21′s hurdling. Ross was famous for it the past few years, so I’m guessing that is where Allen learned it. I yelled the same thing at my tv about watching Best’s jump vs Oregon State: learn from others mistakes.

Speaking of mistakes… high ticket prices. I was outspoken from day one I received info on renewing my tickets. Supply & Demand, blah blah blah, bad economy, etc etc. My buddy & I did not renew for several reasons: 1- too $$, 2- added expense to get to games with fuel & parking, 3- my wife lost her job last Nov & money is tight, & 4- we knew this team would be bad. We will renew next season 110% sure. #GoBears!

Mr. Joe Stiglich, thanks for picking up when the budget cuts took JO.

I have one simple request: could you please remember to categorize your posts as “Football” so they show up on the RSS feed?

Rught now, they only show up on the combined feed because they are “uncategorized” when you post them. For example, here is what this post looks like:

If your editors or IT peeps haven’t told you yet, naming the post Football doesn’t quite do the trick. You’ve got to categorize it under Football with whatever software you are using for the blog…

For example, here is JO’s final post, it is under the category football:

Thank you for putting up with us crazy CAL fans and our self-loathing.

There was a Groupon for bleacher seats. These seats have a great view from any row. I won’t blame YOU that you paid much less than my season ticket cost per ticket!

Cal N’ Roses:

Well said,and you might add that anyone who goes to the game on Saturday can pick up good seats for 50 cents on the dollar. There will be hordes of “scalpers” walking around the stadium willing to sell you reserved $60 seats for $30 to $40 and the primo 50-yard-line $100 seats for around $50. It’s a buyer’s market for tickets now, just like the old days with Gilby and Holmoe. And you can be picky with these guys. Make sure you sit in one of the upper sections. Those are the best seats. The lower sections have crappy, obstructed views.

Hear, hear.

“It is time for Cal fans to step up and suspend our disdain for the athletic department, coaching staff, and inconsistent QB play for one day and honor the seniors who have given us 4 to 5 years of hard work.”

This season certainly has been a challenge on every level with some good, average, and very poor decisions. Although the athletic department fumbled the ball in the strategic planning phase by overpricing the tickets, misplacement of the student section, etc., the players did not make any of these decisions. For those of you who did not show up this year, the statement has been made with a half-empty stadium feel at many of the “home” games this year. We should not forget that the players are still leaving it on the field and sacrificing their bodies to win games for us (McCain, Wilkerson, Maynard, etc.). It would be a shame for the seniors to play their last game at home to a half-empty stadium. It is time for Cal fans to step up and suspend our disdain for the athletic department, coaching staff, and inconsistent QB play for one day and honor the seniors who have given us 4 to 5 years of hard work.

Rollonubears:

You are wise concerning the ticket prices.

The Athletic Department’s overestimation of ticket demand for the SF season was truly shocking.

I fear the same will be true for ESP sales and the repayment of the 321 million New Memorial.

Plenty of good ESP seats available. Only 11 months to go.

Sounds like a good rule to me. I hope we get a good crowd out there
Saturday. These ticket prices have really killed the home field advantage.

Yeah. Here’s the youtube link to the RW penalty.

15 yards in 1991.

Huirdling was illegal at some point wasn’t it? I dimly recall Russell White getting a “hurdling” penalty 20 years ago…
