Terrible article! Looks like it was written by a college intern at KCRA who has never taken a statistics or Econ class. UC Davis has almost half again more athletic teams than Sac. (25 vrs.19) and specifically 5 more women’s teams than Sac. These women’s teams are not expected to be anywhere near “making money” and yet they all require coaches that have to be paid salaries. The programs are not close to being comparable. I guess maybe I don’t really get the point of the article if there was one.

A few years back the Beach was in town with a lot of their fans downtown and I was walking behind them. They were saying “Wow, look at that, a nice big downtown”. So thats what we/you have in Davis. You cannot bottle that. You cannot make that up. This town is just really an amazing place in this day and age. I am so glad I got the chance to raise my kids there.

You are a lucky man, enjoy this time. When it’s gone you can never get it back. Horse crazy girls, I have them too at a later stage in life. They then become horse crazy women and cost more, enjoy!

Aggies got thumped pretty good by a strong A&M team down in College Station. But they are in the learning stages at this point. A&M has 60 gals on their roster for only 15 scholarships, so Texas gals do like to ride down in the Lone Star state and they will do it for close to nothing. I guess you would expect that. I have high hopes that we will eventually do very well in this sport, but it will take some time to get there.

Abridge, great shots! How are you able to get off so many clear shots so fast? You must have very good equipment to do this. What is it?

One of the big problems with bringing a lot of transfers from big schools like UCSB has done is that you get issues with egos with these new “stars”. “Wait a minute coach, you told me I was going to . . . “ etc. they are not part of the normal collegiate process of growing up where they are asked to play ball. Sometimes you get a great player or 2 but to bring in more than that is downright not a good idea. Imagine how Heidegger feels when he’s taken out for some new guy with no history at UCSB. I would. Not endorse this recruiting model and I don’t think that Les has done so. We have 2, but thats it and enough.

Well were not the PAC 12TV yet. BWTV needs a lot of help/work. Not a great site.

I get no sound.

Intensity? No one was as intense as Ham in a close game! He really did need that towel for a reason.

Berkeley is also building a new beach volley ball facility. Might be a slightly larger project due to it being built on the Clark Kerr campus which is not close to other athletic facilities and much closer to Berkeley’s residential district. And the NIMBY neighbors are not happy. They filed suit this week to block the project for not following the campus LRDP.

Yes, it was great to hear Bob Williams explain the fine points of the game. I did not know that “foot placement” was an important aspect of playing defense. I heard him say he was back in “nor-cal” but he did not say Davis that I heard. Great that his heart is here and not in Santa Barbara. 20 years ago he coached a team that I believe did what no other UCD team has ever done: won a National Championship. I recall his ardent plea at a 1990’s campus meeting that we needed to move up to D-1 for the good of all Aggie sports, but he could not convince the hard headed academic senate to go there. He has been proven right to his ever lasting credit. I hope he stays on as the color guy. Great guy!

I feel your pain Toke, but its not all the students fault. The City of Davis is like one of those now unique places where there are so many local things to go to every night for parents and older people- PTA, night classes, workouts, church meetings,2 HS games, Jr. Hi games .etc. We are not like Berlekey, LA, or Palo Alto where a huge number of non student fans come regularly because they have no other responsibilities or things to do. Actually that is why I loved living in Davis for all those years. But, i went to many many games!

I don’t know how these polls are really done, but the fact that we beat both UCI and St Marys and they are higher ranked just makes the fairness of these polls very suspect. But like my buddies above say, it sure gives Jen some good stuff to talk about in practice and the huddle. Big CHIP coming at you!

It was a joke. Plus, “Pac13” is very bad JU JU and creates an odd number of teams. So, add Utah State Aggies and UC Davis Aggies? Not so great, but I guess possible. Maybe by 2050 something will happen like this.

Is there anyway to watch this replay?

Thanks Russ for the tip. I love watching the gals do their thing and I don’t want to miss anything they do. They say you cant coach shooting but you can coach ball movement and the Lady Ags are so good at that part of the game. Almost like a ballet out there and Poly was trying a full court press! Hats of to Coach Jen and her Aggie Gals. A dominate win!

Missed most of the game is there a way to get the replay?

I cannot find anything on line about the athletic performance center construction project. Usually, the campus projects are available on the administration website, but I see nothing yet. Apparently, someone has noticed construction activity there. Is is possible that this a UC Davis Health project and that it would be the site covering the project? I heard that the football field would be the first stage of the project.

I was mostly wrong about the Richardson brothers not wanting to play against each other or dad. Rather interesting that the new Richardson brother stuck with brother over dad to play for the Ags. I guess its an easy call to play 11 games with your bro and only 1 against dad. I respect the dad a lot for letting his kids make the decision which had to be a little difficult.

Yes, but we have an very wealthy player parent who is apparently not used being told “no” you can’t do that. I have no idea who he/she is, but if he/she built the FH field hockey field he/she certainly can help KB figure this thing out. And then is still very plucky Stanford who also does not take “no” all that well either. I don’t think Dominque would have taken this job if she didn’t think there was a future here in FH. I think 72 made a very good point. The SoCal area needs this HS sport at another level. Lordy, there is enough wealth down there to get this figured out fast. Also, this is an Olympic sport and guess who gets the Games in 2028? LA.
