college baseball has to be one of the weirdess sports to coach. low salaries not many schollies and your stars getting drafted year in year out. to improve this program will really test Blues abilities.

Interesting that the host asked about the major challenges of running a FCS vs. FBS program. Basically Blues answer was: assistant coaches; FCS assistants trend to be young, inexperienced and not very good coaches. Not so in FBS programs says Blue. I think we saw that here for at least the past 20 years or so. Before that, with Sochor, it was not a problem unless you think losing a Hawkins or a Peterson or a Belotti (and many more) as an assistant coach to a FBC program was a problem. I think not. This is one reason I think Hawkins can do better than Gould. He knows our history of brining new young coaches up thru the ranks and on to success and can sell that to help get new and better coaches. We are a known producer of great coaches. Anyway, great video. I hope we keep him. . . .

Yes we have a lot of sports teams. And the Texas schools don't have that many more, so I have no idea why their budgets are so very much higher. Note that these are all public universities. I bet if Stanford and Nortre Dame were listed they might well be up there with the Texans.

This just out from USA Today. Looks like we are doing OK. But most surprising is how much bigger our budget is compared to who we play in league games. My guess is that we lust have a lot more athletes than most other teams we play. Absolutely incredible what Texas and Texas A&M spend!

But wait a minute. Isn't a yellow jacket a type of yellow hornet? With some green? Clearly a patent infringement in my book. I hereby request that dr. May in his last official duty at GT to ask the Georgia tech legal staff to challenge sucks right to be a hornet.

Insofar as protests go here, he hasn't seen anything yet. I hope Hexter is by his side when he gets on campus to tell him what to do. This is not going to be anything like GT for dr. May.
Hope I am wrong.

Dr. Mays Georgia's Tech in a petty war with Maryland High School over mascot. Just think what the Bee would do with this story if we did such a thing.

Back on Telford. I recall when he was at cal the media had a fit to learn he was the highest paid UC employee in the state at over 1 million plus per year. Yes, and he had some very impressive winning seasons. Fast forward to 2016 and you have Charlie Strong at Texas making 5.2 million a year and never had a winning season over 3 years. He was fired last November. He's moved on to South Florida and has apparently not taken much of a salary hit there. Wonder what Telford makes a Fresno?

You have to wonder why Fresno state? And why so fascinated with the rather unlikeable Tedford? I guess his record is impressive as was his recruiting at cal. But, oh my, that 48% graduation rate at cal- not good at all. Will not be a problem at Fresno. Good luck to the kid who seems to be a very good player.

Recent Enterprise article says May will stay on his boards and cites no conflicts. No word from Bee except to say they are still OK on it, unlike its position with LK who had no conflicts whatsoever and made no big money on her boards. Nope. Bee just did not like LK and so far May is OK. What is new is that that Sacs mayor Steinberg is going to Atlanta to meet May at the Georgia Tech Innovation Square to see if it might work in Sac. Again, Sac is hoping UCD can bring hope to its city. The difference is 1) Georgia Tech is in downtown Atlanta not 20 miles away like UCD. and 2) Atlanta is the home of numerous corporate Hqs with big money to spend on innovation. Look for a big Bee push to, again, try and pry away UC funding to help redevelope its downtown to the detriment of our students. I guess you cant blame them, but May must look first to the needs of his Davis campus. Then, maybe, Sacramento.

I saw Casey play and he was great. But, Mike was 6"8 280 and quich as a cat. Played for the Raiders for some time. Sorry he was later unhappy and took his own life. I think Casey may have had a brother play as an aggie.

As far as pass rushers are concerned, no one was ever as good as mike wise ever.

What? 1983 playoff game at Toomey seconds to go in the game Bison ahead 17-13? O'Brians pass to the end zone good for a TD. Flag thrown: offensive interference? Still in my mind the worst call I have ever witnessed in football. Our guy was going for the ball. I have a long memory. We need to beat the Bisons.

Wow, UC Davis is a top five Open Access University in the country. This is a metric that should be much more important than 'top university' which, of course is Harvard or Princeton et. Al. Because it is a measure of what the future will offer in terms of the democratic quality of our leaders to come. We need the smartest and the best leaders no matter from what economic or ethnic background or this country's in for a dim future. Finally, a good article from the bee (source: NYT).

Excellent story and we need more of them. Not as good as youtube video of the seniors though which was absolutely over the top great entertainment. Who gets the credit for that amazing video?

Would love to the gals do this too! Great morale and spirit booster.

Thanks CA. Also, the star system obviously cannot predict: loss of desire to play- Dunham and injuries: Trombetta. But, both were fun were very good and fun to watch while they lasted.

Have we recently signed a 3 star? I believe Dunham and Trombetta were 3 stars; I cannot think of anyone else.

i recall scott barry like it was yesterday. great book. hope its the first of many more. i know much more in the the tank for scott.

Why can't we fund this team to the next level? We are certainly good enough

The Bee has a disfunctional almost paranoid relationship with UC Davis. Bee loves the Medical Campus in Sac (but rarely reports on it) but viscerally hates both the UC Davis Campus and the City of Davis. Why, because Davis and UC Davis are virtually Cities on the Hill compared to Sac. Davis with its vibrant downtown and beautiful neighborhoods (yes, and middle class!) are in a class by themselves in the valley. San Francisco has no undergrad UC campuses, but regularly applauds it neighbor UC's in Berkeley, Santa Cruz, and even sometimes UC Davis. There Bee wants UCD to invest in Sac? Let it start retuning its negative coverage on the city of Davis and their campus before that is even considered. IMHO
