Insightyfull summary - good job TrainingRm67! Thank you.

The talk at the intermission between games was that we got Maritime because the initially scheduled games with William Jessup were pushed off by the NCAA for . . . reasons. Something on the Jessup end was the problem. The only fill-in was Maritime.

I felt badly for the Keel Hauler women who were terribly over-matched. Some very sad faces walked past us at the intermission between games.

On the other hand for both the men and the women we got to see the offense move as intended.

I'm incredibly upbeat on our future women's backcourt: Bennett and Sussex both look really capable. I get the feeling Sussex won't get flustered - there's an air of confidence in her play and Bennett the same. They've adapted to the offense and seem to really "getting" college play. I think they'll both make contributions during conference this year.

Sahana Kanagasabay, even with the knee brace, showed some real quickness and a knowledge of where she was on court. And Fitzgerald definitely showed herself to good advantage. She's an interesting counterpoint to Norris in the center, possibly not as quick but she works for rebounding position well, blocks out, and seems to be coming on well.

Conference is going to be fun.

We all recall the California Academy of Art debacle. Take nothing for granted.

Good reminder to take my noise cancelling ear phones! But no band, I'm betting...

We did not. We had a family reunion in Minnesota and decided to drive so we were gone three weeks. I understand the players for the Oakland Ballers had awful accommodations early on - highly unsafe location.

I enjoyed the baseball we were able to see. We watched many of the road games on TV. There are some really nice ballparks out there courtesy of the the realignment of the minor leagues. Thanks MLB. Sigh.

I see the lighting standards are arriving. the first couple are already on site. I’ll be interested to see the configuration. Can’t wait for some night college baseball at Dobbins.

I watched the Long Beach - Pepperdine game. We’re not matching up well with LB’s effort.

They look out of synch and are letting Pepperdine get down court way too fast.

I enjoyed the Majorettes. At least they were there which is more than can be said for the band who have missed more home games than they have made.

Just note that UC Irvine women took down Oregon State in a convincing fashion: 60-48. The Beaves are 3-7 now, UCI 7-3. The level of play in the Big West is definitely rising.

Our women played hard D. It was an interesting game to watch. Permissive officiating. The chemistry of Arizona State seemed off watching them down the stretch. Need to get better on free throws, though.

Terrible start by the Ags. After an initial free throw it's now 12 -1 with 17:00 left in the first

This game is on SUNDAY 15 December at 2 PM.

Should be a great day so come on down to enjoy the Aggie women's game.

We've gone to a few games in Hawai'i. I like the stadium but it's a pain to get to. The traffic was awful after the game. We took a bus the 2nd time. The stop wasn't really close (then) but it worked better than driving.

More oportinunites for corruption! Let’s have tax exempt NIL combines shall we? What could go wrong? The slippery slope of corruption because bending a rule here or there isn’t that big a deal, right?

The lights the Yolo High Wheelers attempted were failures. But there was a contract in place in which the team was to provide the lights. They've left but there is that contract that says . . . what?

We sat in the bleachers for 100+ degree games and it really stunk.

The Reno games were always great.

Bad for our student athletes who will have significantly more travel time. I mean Laramie in the Winter??? Or Air Force?

I think football is pushing us in the wrong direction. We had a great conference with the Big West - but I don't see us being competitive in the MWC any time soon.

But I'm so far out of step with the current version of college sports that it doesn't matter. Just color me not thrilled.

They did have cars way back then...

The bloody volume for the “music” is overwhelming my noise cancelling phones. This sucks. They drive us out of the football stadium and now it’s worse here. And no band, of course.

Yes. General admission. Join us!!
