Excellent! It's nice that non-STH fans will get to experience it this year, even though only online.
RE: Invitation to the WBB Virtual Banquet - Baez87 - 05-08-2020
We are signed up, too. Looking forward to joining others in spirit!
RE: Invitation to the WBB Virtual Banquet - WBB fan - 05-09-2020
Signed up right away, and looking forward to it. It won't be the same, with the chance to share a table with players and coaches, but I anticipate the chance for a version of closure to the season.

Saw this too late. Registration now closed. Bummer.

This is a great idea, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to "attend," as I would not ordinarily be on the invite list.
However, I have to say, for a virtual banquet with a potentially unlimited capacity, their messaging could be better. I received no confirmation email to confirm I actually did successfully sign up, and instead was simply told I'll get an email shortly before it begins with the link. (Until this thread jumped, I honestly forgot I'd even signed up, or when it was, as there was nothing to "calendar" to make sure I remember.)
Given that I never got confirmation, I'll be kind of peeved if I wait until 5:30 tomorrow and never receive anything. And if I don't, I don't even know who I'd contact or where I'd go to try to get a new link to "attend." Of course, it turns out now I probably couldn't, since they've closed it well in advance. There's no obvious justification I'm aware of for cutting off the invite at least a day before the event when the invite only went out a few days beforehand in the first place.
If anyone from the AD is reading this, there is work to be done to better engage your passionate fans.

Interesting that many of us got this May 1. That’s 12 days in advance

I assume that is just the folks historically invited to the in-person one? The only place I saw the link was here when Spiny posted it on 5/8. Stanford WBB twitter feed posted the invite for the first time yesterday, but I guess folks had to move fast if it closed today:

Again, great for them to open this up to those of us who aren't locals who can join the FBC, attend regular chalk talks, etc. Don't mean to look a gift horse in the mouth. Just odd the way they're handling this relative to the many many invites I've received from other parts of Stanford (as well as the other two universities to which I am affiliated) that are substituting zoom events for historically in-person alumni events. With all of those, an email confirmation is sent with the link to the event in the same confirmation so there's nothing else to do before the event starts, and registration available until it starts given that it's now a non-rivalrous good.

As of 10:20 this AM, nothing yet here.

Same. In the private, users only thread, I've posted the contact names and phone numbers for technical support, which were included in that email, just in case anyone who didn't get an email wants to try to get access before tonight. "See" many of you then!

I really miss the non-virtual banquet, but at least we have this, and for moments we're seeing the players. Great pictures. I'm really looking forward to seeing the highlight video later. Great that the seniors are getting a chance to talk via zoom. Nice to hear really positive comments from DiJonai.
