Cal fans, which games are you planning to head to now that you know the times? Let us know, along with your general thoughts on the schedule, in the comments!
To hell with those 7:30 slots! ;-)
I've supported Cal athletics, particularly football, for more than sixty years. I agonized about renewing my tickets this year, but gave in after reading some supportive articles on this blog. After seeing these times, I can see I made a mistake. At 79, attending games starting at 7:30 is too difficult for me. I'm very sad about this. I guess my days of live attendance are behind me.
