Getting excited for BBall season. Men's and women's should both contend, and with the football team doing its thing, it's a good time to be an Aggie!

There's a whole mess of issues that the band has to deal with now that we didn't back in the day. Liability, the whole social climate, overbearing band directors, etc, all lead to a much different experience. As for going to away games, it was easier when the farthest game was Humboldt or CSUN.

But I do know that the trip to SLO is always a highlight, so I'd be shocked if they didn't go this year.

Yeah, SVP even made the comment about nobody probably bet this one.

I would think this would be a pretty big PR issue for UCSB.

I was at the apple store in Sac a few weeks ago and 4 "kids" in hoodies ran in and started ripping iphones and macs from the display tables. They ran from table to table for at least a minute before heading out and down the mall. All the employees were very calm and didn't try to stop them. It was a scary although it was clear that if you didn't try to stop them they wouldn't touch you, but still. I hear that it is a fairly common occurrence now at Apple stores.

Interesting...oh well, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I caught the last 10 minutes of Rudy last night. Yep, add ND to the list.

Almost positive Ohio State is still all brass. Seeing a game at UM and OSU are both definitely on the bucket list.

we sat next to a family from Pennsylvania dropping their daughter off, so I agree I think a decent number of freshman were either still moving in or may have gone to the game with family.

Gut feeling is that he's gone. I tried to look through the media day video they put out about a week ago, and I didn't see him....

This would certainly open up that wing spot for someone to step up. Les has shown over the years that he likes to use that spot as the defensive stopper (Michael, White, Johnson). Can't see a freshman stepping into that role right away, but maybe someone like Nelson who red-shirted last year, or go with either Mooney or Printup. I guess Fuller is the x factor. Even though he's a freshman, he has a lot of international experience that could make the transition to D1 ball a little easier. Regardless, the core is intact and there are a lot of good pieces that will help this team contend for the BW championship again.

Obviously a huge game for us this week. A win and we continue to climb in the polls. But equally as important, it's the first (and in some cases, only) chance that the program has to influence the new batch of students (and freshman parents who may still be in town for move-in). Not saying that kids will or won't go to future games based solely on Saturday, but a good experience with a true college environment, exciting offensive football and most importantly, a victory, will certainly influence the way these freshman view the team, and whether they decide to come to future games.

Weather shows mid 80's and sunny for Saturday. All lining up for a good crowd!

Go Ags!

Go Ags!!!

Just saw this. Hopefully his official visit went well, because he has a pretty impressive highlight film

And a new interview after he committed here

Personally I like WSU and EWU, separated by about 50 miles on the palouse, fighting over the New Mexico / Texas boarder.

looks like a quality addition.

Edit: Here's an older article. Watching his HS clips he kind of reminds me of Siler. Controls the game, good outside shot and can finish at the rim, and can really find the open man.

Athletic dept had an "upcoming" sports tweet, but had SDST icon instead of USD. They seem to have taken it down now. SMH

The addition of beach volleyball will help the overall program as some recruits are looking to play both sports and will only consider a school that offers both. BW is always a tough conference with Hawaii usually in the top 20 and CP now becoming a force. Feels like the Aggies are close to being a contender.

Beating suc in volleyball is always a big win. Seems like our v-ball program is moving up.

Go Ags!

Just a bit of fun from SB nation:
