I’m a 49ers season ticket…

I’m a 49ers season ticket holder.  Park at this garage structure for free, the office building associated with it is unoccupied.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/A7PnLcnrbtRdvHkYA?g_st=ic

When you drive to and from this parking area use the Montegue Expressway exit not the Great America exit.  Much less traffic.

walk to Levi stadium is 25 minutes along San Thomas Aquino creek paved trail (proof of game ticket is required on game days for entry into last segment of trail to Levi).

 

Updated:  Yes of course going to game. Last row (23) of section 210 so protected by overhang from rain and provides some shade on hot days. And no one is behind me, ver my good place to stash stuff behind seats.

this is my dream game, niners vs lions, I’m happy with either team winning.

I’m glad my NIL contribution was enough for this.  Your welcome.

No more Saban NIL discount,  Bama NIL has to pay up or lose players.  Entering portal can just be a renegotiation tactic.

Do we really have alums that say they care about our team but won’t throw in $10/yr?  I put in $50.

They get to use $1 million for the lawsuit from Florida tax payers cause DeSantis pledged that amount.

We saw it the season that Klay was out and Steph got hurt.  Mr triple single gave up and sat rest of season.  It’s true that when Steph sits out games Draymond avoids those games as well,  Gobert called him out on that.

No medal for Coach Kerr.  He couldn’t even coach a US FIBA team to a bronze.  
 

Warriors management was too afraid to give a reasonable punishment to any of Draymond’s past antics.  Draymond good behavior will last at most a month, cause he regards his antics as part of his passion needed to play.

Your plan to arrive at 11am is also crazy.  if your flight get delayed or cancelled you are screwed.

> How could Stalions be standing "shoulder-to-shoulder" with the Wisconsin defensive coordinator without anyone on Wisconsin's staff being aware of this?

I think they meant he was on the Michigan sidelines of that game and that he’s been working for us stealing signs since 2021, which isn’t a violation cause anyone can do that in game. We may as well put up footage from yesterday’s PSU game and say that obviously PSU stole our signs cause their defense knew we were running the ball.  We also couldn’t dial up a pass play cause they stole those signs as well as evidenced by how good their pass rush broke thru our O line early in the game.

If he’s dumb enough to buy a ticket again with his credit card, I’m sure colleges will ban him from their stadiums.

MSU looking to hire coaches that they can easily fire using the morals clause if they don’t pan out.  Meyer’s agent should remove that clause from his contract.

Every team is on the road except the Philippines.  Many other teams have shorter benches so could have more excuses than the US team.

Relatives of Iowa players betting on the under in the first game before odds change. :p

Instead of guaranteed spots…

Instead of guaranteed spots for 6 conference champs, they should immediately reduce it to 5.  It’s possible that by the time it even goes into effect they may have to reduce it again to 4.

Sankey would probably want to be 3 conference champs at most.

Regulation Divisions for  football 

Leaders (current era powers, strong Media viewership): e.g. Michigan, Ohio State, USC

Legends (maybe the used to be good): e.g. Nebraska you lucky to be here, Michigan St. Wisconsin, Iowa

Losers  (almost never good): e.g. Rutgers, Indiana forced to play night games or Thursdays when playing each other

They like that UCLA has to…

They like that UCLA has to pay some portion of their share to Cal for stranding their fellow UC school.

That’s not how the math…

That’s not how the math works.  The media rights was 8 billion over 7 years.  If all new teams get equal shares, then at at 14 teams it would have been $81.6 mil/ea, 16 teams it would be $71.4 mil/ea, 18 teams $63.5 mil/ea, 20 team $57.1 mil/ea.

Word is that the late comers (not sure what UCLA and USC were offered) would get reduced shares of like $35-40 mil/ea escalating up over a period of time (8 years?).   Let’s say it starts at $40mil if it’s Stanford and Cal. Then it’s $34.2 mil split back to the original 14 (let’s say UCLA, USC, Oregon, Wash maybe their brand to entice them the escalator clause isn’t  start at $50mil) maybe = extra $2.4 (19th and 20th team) and extra $2 mil (from teams 15-18 to join).  So the original 14 would get $61.5 mil/ea but sliding down to $57 mil/ea over time, instead of $71.4.  This doesn’t factor in the money earned by CFB, Bowl and NCAA tournament which also get split up.  The doornats on our league should not complain about adding teams that generate media interest or next go around they could get negotiated out of equal shares by the powerhouses.

Stanford is trending down in…

Stanford is trending down in football, there is absolutely no reason to add them because of that.  If you want to add them because we want to say the big ten will then win the Directors Cup due to all the lesser sports the win at, that would be the only reason.  They won’t be driving viewers anymore than Rutgers does.  Their Alumni only care about the Cal game.

You could set up you sister’s computer in NJ for Remote Desktop access so that you can watch it technically on her computer.

We don’t need Stanford or Cal, their best days are long over.  They have poor attendance.  They are like adding a slightly better Rutgers that will dominate all the lesser sports.

 Football players are different, in the pros (NFL) they can’t just up and leave their teams as long as they are under contract, it would be tampering and Texas would get penalized.

Lol google?  I asked ChatGPT:  it’s answer:

Yes, there are several websites that provide historical high temperatures based on zip code input. One popular website is Weather.com. On Weather.com, you can enter a specific zip code and access historical weather data, including high temperatures, for that location. Another website that provides similar information is Weather Underground. These websites typically offer historical temperature data for a range of dates, allowing you to explore past weather patterns. Keep in mind that accessing such specific data may require a subscription or membership on certain platforms.

Adding Cal and Stanford…

Adding Cal and Stanford would be the equivalent of adding Rutgers and Maryland.  Hard pass, they would both be drags on the conference in major sports.  They don’t really add the Bay Area market  as their fans barely attend or watch most of their games.  Most real sports fans in Northern California are transplants or fans of the pro sports teams.

Caleb majored in Exercise…

Caleb majored in Exercise and Sports Science at UNC which likely would be a transfer into Kinesiology.  This is the major that many of the athletes take.  It is ridiculous that department doesn’t have much more flexibility on transfer credits accepted.  I could understand it for more difficult or rare majors, not this.

The portal and NIL are not…

The portal and NIL are not the same as when Beilein was coach, most power 5 teams have similar turnover as us if not worse.  Most players want to start or get lots of minutes asap or leave.  Maybe the NCAA should give all schools an extra scholarship.

I wish we could have convinced a few players to stick, but then we don’t get some of the one and dones we ended up with cause of the lack of scholarships.  Would we have been a happy fan base miraculously retaining a bunch of non low to mid level production instead of chasing fresh recruits?

from browsing stats of the players that left,  Cole took 4 years to become ok and is still transferring.  I don’t think he’d start for us next year at forward as he isn’t big enough, he seems more like a better fit at a smaller conference.

Brandon had plenty of chances, but didn’t reach the potential most of us envisioned.  He probably wanted a fresh start.

 Zeb wasn’t going to start, and he wasn’t going to stay to be 3rd string shooting guard.

PCR test can test positive…

PCR test can test positive for up to 12 weeks after you’ve had COVID.  If you have to random test after Recent COVID, do an antigen test.  Like other have said, I doubt this is an on the spot test, you just have to use a preferred test provider.

btw, I went to Canada to visit relatives in early July, they don’t mask at all and I ended up getting COVID for someone there.  I wasn’t happy that they gave my wife and I COVID, then continued gathering unmasked even after we told them we caught COVID. 5 out of about 30 confirmed fro that gathering and I think the only reason why it wasn’t worse is cause 1/2 of them already had COVID in the past 3-6 months.  I was vaxxed and boosted but the new strain is very contagious.  I had flu like symptoms for 5 days, tested negative on day 6 and after, but was tired for another 5 days.

Cal gets you Nor Cal the same way you probably think the Tampa Bay Devil Rays or Miami Marlins gets viewers to MLB.  It doesn’t.  They bring less than Rutgers.  Colorado would be a better add.

Only half the pac 12 teams…

Only half the pac 12 teams are in warm weather states, so why do people keep talking trash like UCLA and USC never seen cold weather.  I would not consider the schools in Oregon, Washington, Utah and Colorado sunny/warm weather schools.  They would just be playing potentially cold or rainy games more often.

It’s nice taw data, but some of that data gets skewed by what teams are on tv most often or by quality of the opponent,  it might be nice to know what each team’s floor was, like in their 5 lowest rated games each season.
