I know he is probably gone and i congratulate him for what he has accomplished. He is a great WR. And certainly a great All American. I think that insofar as next year is concerned, we need a very improved DL and a RB more than we need a WR. I do not see that in the signees this time. 1 DL is all we got. Don’t see anything coming from the RS roster either. I know DL/RB is a very tough position to recruit in the FCS and it appears we are suffering for this years recruits. I hope I’m wrong.

It is very irksome to see politicians roll out these vague pronouncements to puff up their personal stature. This “Aggie Square” in sac idea is so flawed and seemingly unthought out that it is laughable.
Atlanta Ga. has the 4th largest number of Fortune 500 companies in the country and a GNP of 324 billion. Tech Square was essentially a $179 million redevelopment project immediately adjacent to Georgia Tech built on old disused parking lots in a rundown part of the city. Georgia Tech did not at all fund this project except to say that it would gladly use it for expansion. Georgia Tech is the proud recipient of tremendous philanthropic support from the likes of Coca Cola, CNN, Delta AL, Walmart, etc. compare sac: zero corporate HQs of any signigcance. Zero philanthropy from sac corporations to UC Davis. Zero UC Davis support from sac media. But the real kicker is UC Davis is 15 miles away from downtown sac (sac bee says more Yolo buses will fix that issue!). Why would any sane person support this? Sorry for the rant, but had to get this off my chest.

I would add not bad for a game against the home team who got to sleep in their own beds and didn’t travel 3000 miles for the game. Travel stress will show up on the defensive side of a game every time. I Don’t think you can coach around it.

Just a follow up here. Recent sac bee editorial re: proposed UC Davis tech hub in sac: great idea, but “Aggie Square” is a no go name. Upshot: bee wants UC Davis to move a lot of tech, innovation and engineering resources to sac and will propose calling it “UC Square.” So, bee finally gets what it has always coveted- a “UC Sacramento” paid for by (yes) UC Davis. I hope the academic senate (or UCOP) squashes this idea like an ugly (and expensive) bug.
:

No UC davis stats almost 3 hour after the game (inexcusable) . I only got the stats from the Yale site. By the way, if you want to see a great ICA website look at Yale’s. It is even better than Stanford’s which i thought would be the best. We are light years behind these sites. Really is embarassing for our program.

Sorry, but I don’t accept the equal comparison of coaching football versus basketball. That is like comparing how a company commander in the army (200 men) leads his men to what a platoon leader in the company leads his men (10 men). A platoon leader has to really get close to his guys to be effective and a company commander does not. I loved Jim and his style of coaching but he would not have been a very good MBB coach. He would agree.

I loved Ham. But he was a yeller and screamer and i loved that too. I think he was most upset when he thought his guys were dogging it and played without energy. I will never forget when he angrily left the bench and told the team to “coach yourselves”- he went into the stands with his towel. Remarkable guy. Do the guys hate Les? I really don’t think so. Look at the youtube he made with the seniors last year. Looks like a lot of love there IMHO.

I agree. Another entirely different reason Les sat Chima was to make the team know that it can still score without him. Often with a star player teammates will push try to get him involved. Bad passes. Always Looking for their favorite player. General distraction from the game plan. Great game from John and Shorts. Good win!!

PWOs?

Sorry

Is the stud transfer DL from Fairfield still on board?

Speaking of the bee, rumors are that the bee did not want mayor steinberg to Agee to name the newly planned sacramento tech/innovation center “Aggie Square.” Bee liked the concept very much but felt the name was too UC Davis centric. To his credit, chancellor May stuck to his guns. Don’t know if the bee wanted it named “Hornet Square” or not. May seems to have the right stuff so far.

Bad shooting by a good shooting team is entirely mental. Jen has to know this and get it fixed. We took too much time off the passes. Hesitated too much. Skunked around the perimeter too much. This is fixable. Dame those finals!!!

That’s a lot of facts and figures about a lot of players; but did we get the players to improve our very poor defensive play this year. I guess there were people who felt bad about of Carson, but we have a very good QB. And a not so bad offense. We had a terrible defense. Was anything done to rectify that?

No stream

Are you saying the field will be lighted?

Why do we play these games? We are dummies coming out of finals. Academic shell shock then this game to be played. Anyway, we were never going to be undefeated. . . . Better now.c.c.c

No live stats for me either

I hate these Christmas break games. I hope Jen gets her team ready for this one, as UCF could sneak up on our gals; certainly, the men did not play well against USF and looked distracted at times.

I watched the game and from the start didn’t like what i saw. Just something different this game. Not the chemistry, not the movement and not the 3 going in. Chima was 2-3 teamed and did not do well. And when you don’t convert the FTs which we did not you have this as a result. But, the season is long and we will see.
