Great job by the Cal Poly development team to get this done. Doerr was a fine football player at CP in the 60s and went on to become a successful tech giant in that industry. CP seems to achieve a lot more than we do when it comes to big donors for sports. I do not have any idea as to why. Good for them!

Yes. Looks like he’s doing pretty well. Amazing ability. Is he as good from both sides?

Just wondering. Do we still have that ambidextrous pitcher on the roster? What is his status?

If you want to see a compelling story about rowing watch PBS Special Men of 36 which is about a bunch of U of Washington depression kids at the 36 olympics. Against all odds they . . . . .

I believe that HIPPA rules will govern this. So no disclosure for now. So sad for Chima! Maybe we shouldn’t even care at this point except for the future of this great player and Aggie!!

Great season and too bad to lose to the eventual champion. By comparative scores, we could have been very close if we played for the title against IU.
But on to another issue: next year. I know that MBB has a ton of redshirts coming on and one kid from Canada who can shoot. Thats all i know about MBB. I know nothing about WBB for next year except we lost Marley, Rachel, Pele and Dani and we had two redshirts on the bench this year. I do not know who we have recruited to replace all of them. I would like one of you smart guys with the time to line this all up for us: what should we expect next year from the new players? Who exactly are they?

Probably my email to the sports editor p***ed him off and gave him the opportunity to say: “OK here’s your story- you lost.” Sometimes I should just repress my frustrations with the bee and as they say just “let it go”. . . . .

Someone mentioned that the BW playoff format should be changed so that the highest seeds host the lower seeds. Much like the WNIT does. Seems like a good idea since many of the games are played to skimpy crowds at Honda. It definetly would help UC Davis and also all the other teams with better and more excited home crowds. But maybe the Honda is locked in for years to come?

Hate to follow but here are some observations about todays game: this was a very difficult but winnable game for the Ags and i think it was lost due the decision to play the game in Indiana. First of all the teams played a common opponent- St Mary’s. Indiana lost to the Gaels 82 to 88 in Moraga last November. Ags dominated the Gaels 74 to 50 in Moraga in December. Perhaps more important is the fact that Indiana played its last 4 games at home and the Ags had to travel the last 3 games far, far away from home, i.e not a Big West away game. Planes, buses who knows now but the Ags had to be very leg worn out by today. And that always shows on defense which it did today. Hard to explain why the WNIT did not choose the Ags to host this game based on those factors and the fact that the Ags had a far better overall record. Anyway congratulations to Indiana and good luck!

I am having trouble unsubscribing to BTN+ can any one help me out a bit? If I don’t do it now i will surely totally forget about it.

Many, many years ago Old Sac hosted a Train Fair and it was incredibly popular. I went and it was great! But I am a total rail fan. They should try to make that an annual event. UP brought its huge “Old 7777” to town and it huffed and puffed and steamed and chugged. My kids could not get enough of it!
Former SP also brought a complete passenger train down from Portland which went through Davis. Incredible sight going thru town to sac. Old sac needs something like this to reinvent itself.

Yes, great run. No excuse but I don’t think that 9.5 hour bus rides helped. They could have flown but at $400 per person not feasible. I will sorely miss Marley, Rachel, Dani, & Pele as they are great players and persons. Glad to have Morgan and the Eatons back for one more seasons as well.

Equestrian is an NCAA sport with 19 programs active, including Fresno State. 15 scholarships allowed. Otherwise nearest teams are New Mexico State and many schools in TX, ie.e TCU, Baylor, Texas A&M etc. otherwise all are east coast schools. If we went with this sport good possibility that Stanford and Cal Poly would consider adding. Lord knows that Stanford has so much sports money they probably need a new sport to spend money on. I am sure that the vet school would provide free or greatly reduced vet care. Yes, travel is a concern but Fresno does it! So i think its still on the table for consideration. So maybe equestrian and beach volleyball??

Sorry, just got an email from him. He’s no longer the sports editor; said “he would pass it on” to the right person. Did not name the “right person”. I agree with 72, this paper is going downhill, cutting staff, transferring people etc. trying to stay alive as they say. Well the UC Davis WBB has certainly done that so far. Go Ags!

Out of total and complete frustration over this I did email the Bee sports editor with a piece of my mind (as if it will do any good?) anyone else might give it some thought. His email: tcouzens@sacbee.com . Remember, reasonable ranting is good for your mental health. . . .

The Bee’s attitude toward UC Davis seemed to change with the LK episode. Prior to that it was fairly supportive. The total lack of coverage for the WBB team is just downright negligent journalism or spiteful. I would guess that with all the UC Davis employees in sac and the huge operation of the UC Davis Health System there would be a lot of interest in any stories about WBB and this historical win.

You guys are better than me: no video no matter what i do!

They’re showing KS men’s game. Can they even support 2 games at once?

Yep. Audio only for the game I guess.

No surprises, decisions is in “final stages” per UC Davis news release today. In contention still: rowing, beach volleyball, equestrian, fencing, rugby or any combination thereof. Final decision now to be “early April”.
