Real talk: San Diego deserves an NBA team again.

I’m surprised they even attracted that number of fans.

Does this number include all the non-fans like the players, Coaches, concession workers, the band, people who just wandered into the building looking for a quiet place to study?

The fact that Fox has yet to be fired is incredibly insulting

Wow, Fox and Knowlton should both be out. It can’t get any worse can it?

Those fans deserve either refunds or therapy.

What say ye Jimmy Boy? Hello, hello, anybody home? Of course not!!! Let's make it a two-fer, and dump both Fox and Knowlton (right now, Fox is much the more sympathetic figure) ---Basketball, more than any other major sport, is coach is influenced / dominated. Get a good, strong coach and you'll have a contending program (plus, the squad numbers are small and with only five players on the court it doesn't take long to assemble a formable group). --- this will be Knowlton's biggest test by far. If he blows this one, he'll be exposed for the zero capability AD that he is. --- since he's a dumb, tentative, lazy-ass without connections, I'm sure he'll hire a search firm which underscores how weak and disconnected he is. Don't expect the second coming of Pete Newell.

There's bad. Then there's rock bottom bad. Then there's Cal.

What a shocker. The worst team with the worst coach has the worst attendance. If Fox gets another year then just burn Harmon to the ground.

How many of those in attendance were visitor fans? Of the home team fans, how many were family and friends of players and coaches of the Cal team?

I wonder what the Cal fans and students actually attended Cal games and why decided to even go? They didn’t have anything else better to do? Did they lose a bet and have to go? These are some sick people that went willingly and should probably be monitored by local law enforcement and the FBI.

What do they expect? I'm surprised more than 2,000 people show up to our games.

I miss Harmon/Hass. Spent years taking all three of my children to games and always found it to be such a great experience. Such a shameful state of affairs... please save this program. It can be done. I remember as a student being coaxed by the ticket takers to come into the building as we debated going to a game. Old Harmon wouldn't even be half full and we had our pick of seats. I fell in love with the game and the building as we watched a young player from Sacramento, Kevin Johnson, run the floor.

We're just ahead of the curve! Our attendance is #lightyears ready for when we officially become a midmajor with the likes of San Jose State, Utah State, and Wyoming... IF the MWC extends an invite to Cal.

This reminds me of the 2001 football season. I vividly remember walking out of the half empty stadium after a shellacking from Illinois or Oregon, can't remember which team, and said to myself I am done going to Cal football games. And I didn't go the rest of the season and paid little attention to the team from thereon. I recall turning on the radio for five seconds to learn that Cal was beating Rutgers in the final game that year. Tedford changed everything a scant nine months later.
