• 2024 Week 12: #2 Montana State (10-0) @ #4 UC Davis (9-1)
    So close! The TV guys were mentioning the Idaho St game and saying, well it's not over, and then, gulp, it wasn't quite as over as many thought.

    Kudos for the Aggies for embodying Aggie Pride. And that onside kick? Epic.

    I rode around the field this morning. Some players were walking toward the locker facility at the north end. The high-end cameras were set up and covered, the crew were milling around the production truck.

    I wonder what effect the wind might have on the game. It's blowing from the north and I don't see it dying with the sunset.

    Go Ags!

    The game will be broadcast locally. I see a major upgrade in TV production is parked at the field, hopefully with better cameras. The crew were busy plugging into the distribution infrastructure from the truck as I rode by this morning. It'll be on The CW? I found it on our TiVo. And streamed on ESPN+ of course.

    OMG - we had the lead - briefly - a 3 ptr at horn pulled Stanford ahead again - but I can't recall being this competitive against Stanford this late in the game.

    This is the antithesis of the officiating we saw against the Aztecs. There are a few more fouls called during the 3rd quarter. If only we could make free throws!

    Menlo's Landon Seaman was most definitely the best player on the floor. He was quick and smart.

    Roćak had an awful game. He was just . . . behind the flow of the game. Made some bad passes. He'll have time to work through it.

    The Ags' defense just wasn't what it should be. Many times defenders were beaten on the baseline and then picked up fouls.

    These are tough games - Menlo was primed and the Ags? Maybe not so much. Learning how to be up for the "small games" is part of team evolution.

    We'll see how they do next game.

    Go Ags!
  • 2024 Week 11: UC Davis (8-1) @ Montana (7-2)
    Ah Missoula! In September of 1967 I was driving to Portland from my home in Ohio on my way to college and spent the night there. I was informed by the somewhat elderly lady who ran the small motel that "there are NO girls allowed in your room. Understand??!!!" I was tired and watched "Damn Yankees" on the TV in snowy black and white. The most vivid memory of that trip.

    As a Menlo alum ('68 when it was a JC) before coming to UCD I won't be torn. Go Ags!

    There were fouls called that I didn't see, that the players didn't see, that must have happened in a ghost game somewhere. It wasn't a fun game to watch because of all the fouls.

    Tova had 26 points but only made HALF her free-throws. It really wasn't a good game for her with some wild shots that never should have been attempted.

    Norris played well in the 4th quarter - but she doesn't seem as physical as she did last year - and she's not really a physical force inside.

    Nya made some fine shots (worthy of TY) under the hoop - shots she's been attempting in earlier seasons but this time there's an authority to them - she knows where she is on the court and they're going in.

    I felt the Ags were out of synch for much of the game at both ends of the court. Some of it was the officiating which was so incredibly anti-contact that it made a mockery of the game. Players on both sides were just astounded. The Aztecs, however, adjusted to it faster and better than we did.

    Now it's onward and upward!

    And what is RV Stanford?

    I see they are telling us to watch on the big 10 network. But I also found it on the Fox app but when I looked at the Big10 network I didn't see it there.

  • WBB: Simpson University (Redding, CA) 1-0 at the Aggies (0-0) 6 pm Monday 11/04
    Norris looks both stronger and thinner than she did last year. I was quite struck by the change.

    Also - have they upgraded the lighting at the Pavilion? It seemed much brighter than last year. My wife said the TV pictures were much improved as well.

    The inside game by the Ags didn't look like much. The game felt like a 3 pt shooting challenge.

    So: not a "trap game" and the Ags are continuing to improve as a team week after week. Now come the major tests.

    Also: thanks for posting the video links. They are really useful to the casual fan.

    To my, admittedly uneducated eye, the Ags are continually getting better with each game. Sure, they aren't perfect, but they are definitely finding themselves on the field. We'll learn a lot about them this game.

    GO AGS!

    Thanks. Jan will miss the women's first game - as I write this she's still COVID positive although feeling much better. And we're STOKED for this season.
