• MBB 7 pm Thursday: CSUN (5-14 & 2-3) @ the Aggies (12-7 & 3-2)
    Since i cant watch the game i have a question: whose fault is this? I thought it was a BW site not our site. If you want to watch the only game actually streaming with dinner you can watch the poly game. .
  • WBB 7 pm Wednesday: Fullerton (7-11 & 2-3) @ the Aggies (15-3 & 5-0)
    Sac has a good FC press scheme and we creamed them off it with easy layups. I think the poly game was an anomaly and maybe just surprised us. At least i hope so.

    And no full court press! Wonder if SB will try it? Or do you not do such things on the road?
  • New woman’s sport
    Wonder why not a lot of discussion on this topic or any kind of news release from the AD? I did find out that Cal woman’s rugby has petitioned for full varsity status per TIX some time ago. Cal men’s rugby is a varsity sport. No response yet. Many schools in the east already have varsity woman’s rugby but none in the west. So this is probably a nonstarter for a new sport. On another related topic the Cal men’s rugby team was able to get varsity status mostly through the major philanthropic efforts of the Witter (as in Dean-Witter) family. Rugby field is “Witter Field” and seats 5000. Well, we can only dream. . . .

    Suani is exactly what the doctor ordered for our D. He looks great on tape. Tucker needs to lock this guy down NOW!
  • UC Davis Dream Team Debate
    Yes movie. Joe Carlson. Great guy and great coach. Is he still with us? Was Hickey cool? Yes, when you stomped on the bleachers they were so loose that the sound went all the way to the floor and was amplified so the sound was incredible. Yes we had a thunder dome before there was a thunder dome. I here that the lady’s practice there a lot. True? Do the men? It just felt like almost a cathedral when you walked in. All the stone and steps up. The gym smell. Maybe still does. Makes me shiver to remember all of those days.
  • UC Davis Dream Team Debate
    Hey, we are now going way way back! When i first saw Baranco and Frost it was preHam if my savaged memory isn’t completely lost.i forget the head coaches name but we were never predicted to win league, but we did that year ‘69-‘70. He was a great head coach. I think he quit for health reasons. As for hickey it was an amazing place to watch basketball and feel it as if you were close to the court you could get a basketball in your face if you weren’t paying attention. Those were the days.
  • WBB: Aggies (14-3 & 4-0) @ Cal Poly (9-7 & 3-1)
    I get it. And a veteran team should be able to work on how to break a FC press.
    I think Jenn gets it as well. Love those girls!!!
  • WBB: Aggies (14-3 & 4-0) @ Cal Poly (9-7 & 3-1)
    i did not see the game. but the aggies have been great against the press up to now. were they just taken by surprise? tired?
  • UC Davis Dream Team Debate
    I have a tale about John Frost and I saw john frost play. He was an outstanding shooter. In one of his last games at Hickey playing sac state he and a sac state player by the name of ford were in the far back court, all the action was at the other end of the court, when for some inexplicable reason ford sucker punched Frost and he went down. No official saw it but the crowd did and they went nuts. It was the talk of the campus for weeks. I later dealt with ford and his company. He always denied that it happened, but I saw him do it. Ford was actually a nice guy when i knew him. Heat of the moment in the extreme I guess.

  • WBB 7 pm Thursday: Aggies (13-3 & 3-0) @ UCSB (6-10 & 3-1)
    Love those “evil Eaton twins”. They are so great hope to see them in a horror movie. Yes, some BW coaches call them that! They cheet!!!!
  • MBB 7 pm Wednesday: Long Beach State (9-11 & 3-1) @ the Aggies (11-6 & 2-1)
    Finally got to it. Yes with Siler back on track it will take a lot off of China’s shoulders. Beach probably the most athletic team in the BW and we stopped them!
  • New woman’s sport
    I agree. Still wonder why no announcement on how the initial public meeting went. Is there a next one set?
  • New woman’s sport
    I agree with 6th and zythe. I also reread some of the press clippings of the 2011 judges decision on the UC Davis wrestling case. I think i may be off base in getting the scholarship issue mixed up with TIX requirements. The judge in the wrestling case clearly stated that compliance with TIX can be done by offering athletic opportunities to woman in proportion to their share of overall enrollment. The key word bring “opportunities.” He did not say that any given woman’s sport has to be funded in any particular proportional way. I read that to say that if we bring back woman’s rowing we do not have to necessarily grant scholarships to all or even any of the participants because they will be provided the opportunity to participate. I understand that there might be more clarifying language in the final settlement papers but i did not read them. That could change things obviously.

    Movie, wish we could but we can’t. Prop 209 prohibits affirmative action based on race, ethnicity, OR gender. So, i think were back to woman’s rowing; but the real question is who PAYS FOR IT? Cal has 67 women on its roster, including 15 foreign. Even if most are not on full schollies, thats a very expensive sport to fund and probably why it was cut in the first place. 6th, your question is a good one and the answer is that it is probably the most highly classified piece of information on the campus. But you have to know the breakdown is not close to being even because of the need to add this new woman’s sport. I think its also a valid to question to ask under TIX whether ICA can even require this sport to be “self funded” when others (no men’s sport) are not. This is Dr. Blue’s big problem and is why he gets the big bucks. I wish him well.

    I will take you back to the 70s!: guard Gordon Baranco! Slasher/driver and a lot like TJ. Great leader on the court as well. Later was a very respected and fine s
    Superior Court judge in Alameda county.
  • New woman’s sport
    We have a huge gender imbalance issue here. We are close to 60-40 woman to men. in comparison, CP is about 56-44 men to woman. Even sac is slightly better at 56-44 woman’s to men. Stanford 51-49. Cal 52-47 woman to men. I am sure the administration is worried about this. How can a very science/ag/engineering university be so much more attractive to women than men? One could argue that its a good thing. The campus is seen as academically high quality, attractive and safe. The town of davis is very appealing and also safe. This is important to woman and more importantly to their parents. Not so much guys. So (get ready for this!) i think that we will have to be eliminating football in the next 10 years. There’s simply no other way out of this dilemma. OK, so maybe not if we add: woman’s rowing, fencing, beach VB, badminton, squash, sailing like Stanford. Hate to say this stuff. Make me wrong!!!
