• Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    One question: is suspended from the team the same as suspended from school? If so, forget the team. Chimas academic status is being very negatively impacted and could hurt him for the rest of his life. Really seems unfair that thi is being dragged out so long.
  • WBB 9 pm Saturday: Aggies (21-4 & 11-1) @ Hawai'i (10-14 & 3-8)
    Blue, i disagree. We did well with the FCP. Hey, you might be disappointed with this win margin. But when your team is up by 25 points any team will tend to relax a bit. My concerns: poor rebounding and very poor shot selection by some of our new players late in the game.
  • MBB 2 pm Saturday: Aggies (17-9 & 8-4) @ UCSB (20-5 & 9-2)
    Yes great defense. But being able to regroup after the loss of a major player is much bigger. This team has real heart and skill. Someone said you cant coach heart. But maybe the players can coach it themselves. Still give coach les a real thumbs up on this one. Great game.
  • New woman’s sport
    Sorry to follow, but nice new story on the UC Davis site regarding the status of the new woman’s sport. Very detailed and interesting. I guess we will know soon.
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    I think that the fact that this has been kept secret so long is amazing and is actually a credit to the university and the judicial process on going. Even the bee with all of its (paid?) moles inside UC Davis cannot get this info. My heart goes out to Chima and i wish him well.
  • Lady Bird - Sacto & UC Davis
    I will see the movie; but do think it is humorously anti-Davis from what i hear. I graduated from UCD, married, had kids, got job in sacramento, and lived in sacramento. Not in the Fab 40s, but in south sac. Basically, not a nice place to live unless you don’t mind a lot of crime or live in a gated community. So ultimately i moved my family back to Davis. But, back to the points being raised, at my work i was often criticized for being a weird “Davisite”, from the People’s Republic etc. and this was long before the Toad Tunnel. I learned that many sacramento people have this totally inane concept of what Davis or UC Davis actually is. I came to believe that it really is based upon a fundamental insecurity and jealous thoughts about what is really special about Davis- clean, safe, beautiful, college town, kid friendly and just a great place to live. So i lived happily in Davis for 30+ years, then retired and moved to the Sonoma Coast. Oh yes and this. I could not get a place to stay in davis last Halloweeen after i took my brother to SMF. Why i asked the motel clerk: “well many, many alumni bring their chirdren back to Davis to enjoy Halloween like they did because its so fun and safe here. They have very good feelings about Davis” Lastly, church attendance: “weird” Davis higher than sacramento. Go figure. . . . I do miss Davis!
  • Lady Bird - Sacto & UC Davis
    Well, apparently, no mention of sac state, the real local institution of higher learning. So i guess we will just have to be happy being “the boring ag school” as mentioned in a movie. Maybe Greta has hurt feelings over st francis high school’s many beatings by Davis High School. I still think it was a cheap shot aimed at a sac audience. If its better than Breakfaast Club i will go. If not, I don’t like coming of age movies and will wait for amazon so i can pause for a toilet break.
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    Forget the process; i am now seriously concerned about this young mans health and well being. He knows he may have let his team down (his main support group at Davis). He’s 8000 miles from home. Not seen family and parents for 8 years. This must be seriously depressing for Chima. Yet, i do believe that AD Blue will handle this properly and that there is a reason for this delay that we simply do not know at this time. The total silence may actually be a good thing. Like all of you I HOPE!!
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    Well, i will tell you that Morgan is the toast of the town in Santa Rosa her home town. We are very proud of her. Did you know she was not recruited by any other D1 school/coach but for Jen? She was the first scholarship player ever recruited out of Santa Rosa HS. She almost went to sonoma state? Did you know that she is a biomedical engineering major, one of the most challenging majors in the UC system? There was a big story in the Press Democrat about her a week or so ago. Sorry i cannot bring it up now. I love that girl!!!
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    Well at least we have the Ladies to follow. Arguably one of the best teams the Ags have ever had in any sport male or female. Morgan on track to break all kinds of scoring records before she graduates. I don’t think they get nearly enough credit for what they have accomplished so far. Sac bee doesn’t even print their scores and the attendance for their games is less than one might expect for a team with 20 wins. I hope they win out their final conference games and then on to the playoffs.
  • 2018 Recruiting List
    Talk about two sport athletes. Does anyone remember TIM LAJCIK? He was an all american in football and wrestling at UCD. He is a UCD hall of fame person. He then got into WWC. You have to see this youtube of him: “Tim Lajcik: Unlocking the Cage”. You will be very proud of an Aggie that did all the fighting stuff, then acting and is very well and soft spoken and intelligent about all things we all can elate to. Tim is a very impressive guy and a role model. Wish we had him now!

    I do understand the need for confidentiality and respect for the player- Chima Moneke. I do not understand the lack of transparency for the process. Total silence from the AD. If he will not play for the rest of the season I think we, th fans, need to know.
  • LA Times says Napolitano to cut UCOP budget by 50%
    Good point fug. UCOP stole the strawberry program when it was making the big bucks patentwise. Apparently thought Davis was not “sophisticated” enough to know how to run the program. I Knew someone from Davis that then had to commute to Oakland from Davis every day (train) to help them with the program. That was way before Napolitano. But as we all know, the strawberry program then got entangled in multiple patent disputes and lawsuits that lasted for years. But maybe Napolitano sees the light: UCOP- too many people and not enough to do in downtown Oakland. I think we got the strawberry program back, but I really don’t know how that all played out.
  • MBB 7 pm Thursday: UCSB (18-5 & 7-2) @ the Aggies (16-7 & 7-2) Game Thread
    The big diffference between this game and the LB game was defense and that SB knew we had no inside game without Chima. So they played the defense perimeter strong and we had no answer. Actually was a very good game to watch. We have favorite nieces at SB who we love and we had to give them a call of congrats!! Really hard not to like either of these teams.
  • WBB 7 pm Wednesday: Cal Poly (13-8 & 7-2) @ the Aggies (18-4 & 8-1)
    yes, a very good game. but it was never really in doubt for the Ags. Leaupepe was unconscious from the 3 land, but overall the Ags shot the 3 better, better FG %, better TOs, better, assists, etc. I think we will see CP in the tournament for sure. they are a much better team than CSUN for sure. great game for the Bertch.
  • WBB 7 pm Wednesday: Cal Poly (13-8 & 7-2) @ the Aggies (18-4 & 8-1)
    I think we will be fine. For some inexplicable reason most teams just do not try and FC press on the road. Why? Do not know. Maybe there is just no fan support to up the hype of the strategy. Also it came as a complete surprise at CP in the last quarter. Ags did not respond well. Not this time if it comes.

    This an example of thread that has gone really bad. Now we are reduced to Comparing rankings between two of the best public’s in the nation. This is just rediculous. Dig enough and you will find a poll that supports any position you want!
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    Does Chima play on? Absolutely no reason now to announce before the SB game. Make SB prep for any situation that plays out. Does anyone know if he is practicing?
