This is a big get by Jen. Lilly is a true 6’5” 215 lb. athletic post who is rewriting record books in OC which is a tough place to play HS WBB. Just scored 57 last week! Averages 30.1 pg. I love Morgan, but I do not think she came close to those kinds of numbers in HS. I don’t think Aggie WBB has ever had this high a level of raw athleticism. At least in my memory. Maybe an historic addition to the program. Needs some great coaching to reach her potential, but we have the coach who can do the job in Jen Gross. Great news for Aggie WBB! I just wish she had a year to watch Morgan do her stuff.

Guinness! Must be part Irish. One of my favorites.

05. This is not related to political banter. This is speciafcally related to Montana fans racial behavior towards the Ags during a recent football game. I do believe that is part of UC Davis athletics. I will defer and comment further on the OT Board.

Agalum, you do not get off free with that statement. I was defending Montana citizens against the earlier put question as to whether they were “racist.” To which I did state that they were not racist (citing recent evidence). I was defending Montana fans, who are from a very red state, from that racist accusation. I do not know where the earlier poster got the idea Montana fans were possibly, or indeed were racist; I believe some racial taunting during our game with them was the reason. Racial taunting is a disgraceful by any football fan. My post was in no way a “political post” or reference. If you just object to the term “red state” just say so. If you don’t like me to mention Jon Tester, just say so. Otherwise say nothing. You politicized the post with your very vague “nonsense” comment.

Don’t want to respond but have to. . . No I don’t think Montana is generally racist. It is a red state, but it reelected a Democrat Tester over a red meat Trump Republican who actually was accused of outright racism especially against the Native American tribes in Montana. I think the Montana fans were just outraged a t losing and threw out a few stupid yells that they now no doubt regret. In my experiance Montana people are great, somewhat conservative to CA views, but still very, very likeable people. That said I am a..... ........... just an Aggie.

Great point movie. I think that the announcement of the new Performance Center will significantly aid recruiting for next season. It signifies a sizable and tangible investment in the football program and eliminates one of the strongest arguments our opponents have used against us in past recruiting: poor training facilities. But, it will just add a new incentive. Maybe more important over the last 2-3 years and continuing in decending order are IMHO:
1. Coach Hawk
2. 2018 FCS Playoff appearance
3. Chancellor May
4. AD Blue

Pacifics press release was also very vague. I cannot find any AEC press release that supports this decision; rather Pacific later adds that this was part of a $1 million cut in athletics in general. Does anyone actually believe that Stanford or Cal, not to mention UC Davis will just take this AEC “decision” without objection? Alumni and parents in these small sports (espeically women’s) (FH, beach volleyball, rowing, wrestling, fencing, equestrian, men’s baseball (Cal) are extremely devoted to their offsprings athletic endeavors) will vigorously fight this. Rumor has it that the wealthy UC Davis parent that basically funded the FH program and built the new FH field is a politically connected guy. I doubt that he will let his daughters program go down the tubes due to Pacific budget cuts without a big fight.

FH is a fairly large roster sport, so if you cut that sport TIX comes into play. So would expect 1 or more men’s sports soon to go as well. It’s been known for a long time Pacific is hurting financially. Academically they cannot compete with the UCs and a kid that cant get into say Sac or Chico can get into Pacific easily. Their law school (in Sac) is bleeding red ink all over the place and has drastically cut back its funding. Ditto dental school in SF. Very hard to recruit good faculty to those types of schools.

I think Hawk stays to retirement. Sure, higher paying jobs are out there, but he got a pretty big payoff out of Colorado when he left there. He hopefully invested it well.
Plough will be sought after, but he needs a few more seasons with a winning program too maximize his potential.
I actually think our AD, Dr. Blue is the most likely to be hired away. He operates one of the biggest DI ICA operations in the West. He has started new programs from scratch and gotten alumni finds to do so. He is smart, engaging, handsome and has proven himself a winner by virtue of the success of his many sports teams.
The next most possible is, IMHO, Jen Gross. If I’m not mistaken, she is the most successful coach currently in our ICA program- plus, a great and very respected coach and person. She is definitely PAC 12 material.
But as has been said, any offer to anyone of these individuals would have to be from Top Notch schools or they ain’t leaving Davis anytime soon.

If we wear our all whites, we will be invisible! Like the white horse in the background.

I say don’t rush him. His record is very impressive, but the move from HS to DI football is a big leap for any Athlete not to mention the academic stress of UC Davis. RS him next year and then let him go against our current guys next in line; which are actually very impressive themselves. I only saw a bit of the Hunter kid- wow! He’s a great one too.

$100. Here

I hope! We did survive the demise of Mr. Bs, AJ Bumps, Blakes, and others, but the Grad is a special place in the memories of so many. I hope they find a way to stay.

Enterprise story today is that University Mall is to be completely demolished and rebuilt as a mixed use (residential and commercial) development). If so, I wonder if the Grad can stay there being a bar etc. but maybe because they serve food it will be able to stay. Still, the old ambiance and history of the place will be gone which is a bit sad.

“For Whom the Cowbells Toll”
For you, dear Steam Engine. For now, sadly, we will all have to be satisfied with our memories of you in all your Privious glory. May you rest well in the peaceful solitude of the now dark and silent Antique Mechanics garage. Perhaps someday bolder persons than we are will seek you out, wipe off the cobwebs, check out all your bells and whistles, and fire you up once again. But for now, your once mighty whistle will remain silent and only a dimming recollection of its past greatness will live on.

We all recall the “negativity bias” from Psch 1 days, but you must admit the Bee has taken it to new lows because it sells papers: “if it bleeds, it leads” is the old motto. This is a main reason why the Bee does not report a lot regarding UC Davis; too much good news! But when the pepper spray incident came along the Bee could not get enough of it. Rumor had it that the Bee thought it deserved a Pulitzer for running Katehi out of town. And yes, the Chron still unabashedly covers all the BA colleges sports and carries all their athletic websites in the sports section. Chron finds no problem covering both Cal and Stanford equally either; and mostly always positively.

Imagine if someone had the guts apply for a business license in Davis for a “Woman’s Fantasy Sports Bar”? The City Council would be apoplectic; the streets full of protesters; the Enterpise against! The Sac Bee would send its corps of investigative reporters (now one person) to attack this horrible sexist idea: APPLICATION DENIED!!
Yes, Iowa maybe more fun that Davis by far. . . .

Sorry to follow, but to answer Movies fear of foreign entanglements amoung the students at the game, Kat is multilingual. She can help Movie out up in the stands. You know, a little French here, Greek there, Italian way over there, and throw in some English every once in a while. Would make for an interesting game experience. “ARRETEZ-LES MAINTENANT!”= Hold That Line! It was a common command for the French during WW1 and worked most of ther time.

Well there is a problemo. Kings have a home game at 7 pm. So either the Kat gets an OK from the Kings, or we have no MC for this very big game.

Will Katerina MC? She was great last game. Aggie Pack leaderless, so we hire Katerina. No problemo.
