I found these in the course of my Saturday morning Googling:

A couple of links to lengthy articles about Coach Peterson’s career and the UCD connection:

A short excerpt from an interview:

In what ways is your coaching influenced by what you learned from Jim Sochor at UC Davis?

PETERSEN: I think you talk to the Davis guys, all the Davis guys that have come out over the years that have been into coaching, and there’s a lot of them, and all-stars with Coach Sochor, Jim Sochor, and Bob Foster, both those guys. Unique place. I know I wouldn’t be into coaching today without question had I not gone there.

Way, way back I recall reading an article where a coach complained that opponents were scouting his team's practices...(Why do I think it was someone across the Causeway doing the complaining???)...I don't recall the details, though something tells me it was by standing in a wooded area or on a hill from where the alleged spies, er, scouts, could view the practice...and the story went on to say that it was a violation of some rule. Can't scout a team's practice but you can if there is an admission charge. Who charges to attend practices?? My assumption was that it's OK to scout something like a Blue & Gold game if admission is charged. That was a LONG time ago, and my memory is not a great resource for much.

If you read this article and your eyes aren't just a little moist, or you don't hear the Band-Uh playing, then you don't belong on this board.

This is Aggie Pride.

Check out the USC fansites. Trojans feel about Paul Hackett like CU fans feel about Hawk. Hackett is referred to as "He Who Shall Not Be Named."

Fight on for dear old Gryffindor!

I may have been prescient. As of today, the ucdavisaggies.com website has the women's basketball victory and score, but shows the current Causeway Cup points at 30-5. Hopefully by the time anyone checks this out it will have been corrected and I can be accused of fake news, in which event I will enter politics.

...and to beat this to death, under the previous scoring system, where football, volleyball and basketball were worth ten points, we would now have 55 points of a possible 100 and would have wrapped this thing up before Christmas.

Go Ags!

You are correct. ...and to think someone started this thread noting that the men's earlier basketball win gave the Ags 30 points.

Thanks

WIth the resounding victory in women's basketball this afternoon, Davis leads the Causeway Cup competition, 30-5, out of a total of 80 points.

Ags swept what used to the the 10 point matches: football, volleyball and both basketball games.

This puts the Causeway Cup standings at UCD 35, Slack State 5 out of a total of 80 points.
Go Ags!

Beating a dead horse here, but this is why the university needs to approve outside jobs. DeVry, the "for profit" "university" on whose board Katehi accepted a position, just settled with the FTC for $100 million for false advertising. That's not Aggie Pride.

Beyond my abilities to cut and paste the thing, but someone sent me a photo, which they apparently found on Hawkin's Facebook page, of the 1985 coaching staff.....Sochor, Foster, Biggs, Hawkins, Gross, others I can't name. Nice to bring back those memories....

The Ducks might be salivating over a QB with a degree and TWO years left. They may be tired of this one and done approach.

So you can get a degree at 'Bama, the Harvard of Dixie, in about three years while playing an intercollegiate sport?

Cal upset #1 USC in OT, 11-8, to win the championship.

What we missed:

Semi-finals:

USC 19, Harvard 4

A mild upset: Cal 9, UCLA 8 OT

Cal toyed with Pomona-Pitzer in the other play-in, with the Bears defeating the Sagehens, 16-6. Saturdays semi-finals will be Cal v. UCLA and Harvard v. USC. Winners meet on Sunday.

Great year for the Aggie men. Final Four next year!!

That was as bad a streaming feed as I have seen, embellished by some Hahvahd commentary on the side. This is the fourth time Davis has played Harvard in school history, the third time this season. Every game has been decided by one goal. Too bad this one went the wrong way. Congratulations to the Crimson.

Could hazard a guess that we will be away at Slack State on Saturday, November 18, 2017.

About a month ago I was waiting in line for a flight from Burbank to Sacramento that went on to Boise. Hawk was standing in the front of whatever line I was in, probably Z 30 to Z 60. I assumed he was probably heading on to Boise. Now I wonder if he stopped off in the Sacramento area for a look around and to spread his resume...Looked like a slightly aging college kid..jeans, backpack, playing with his phone the entire time.

Good luck to him. Now if he has one more Chris Peterson card to pull from the deck. This is FCS football, baby! This ain't intramurals, brother!
