Meet the Dub Nation's oldest fan
A Bay Area woman is Golden State's oldest fan and as she nears her 106th birthday, she hopes to celebrate with a Warriors championship win.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The Dub Nation has a matriarch. Meet Sweetie -- a passionate 105-year-old Warriors fan who says she has watched the team for a long time and used to attend games with her husband. Now she watches the games at home.

She told ABC7 News, "I'm not crazy, but I love to get in there and fight with them."

Sweetie's daughter, Lily Toney, will bring over meals and helps get her mother into place for the games. She said, "We can't believe it. It's amazing that she can follow the game and she's really into it."

Sweetie's advice for the Warriors is "They have to be on their P's and Q's and don't be sloppy with the ball."

Sweetie says her secret to longevity is eating oatmeal for breakfast, no fried food, and in her fridge there is only milk, orange juice and water to drink.

Her favorite player is Draymond Green and she thinks coach Steve Kerr can be too timid on the sidelines.

In about two weeks she'll turn 106 and will hopefully celebrate with a championship.

"I want to see them do it. I hope they do and I think they will," Sweetie said.
