• WBB 2021 BWT and postseason
    What happened to the extra year of eligibility? I thought that this would give Cici and Mac one more year. This year can hardly count as a full year of eligibility.

  • Week 1: UC Davis @ Idaho
    I just rewatched the game too. I was very distracted by little family members during the game. I will agree with everything that as been said above. I would add two things. 1) The Aggie DL is good and deep. We used 7 DL in this game and they all performed very well. They are a real strength for our defense. 2) This Lan Larson kid is absolutely one of the best Aggie recruits I have seen in years. He is TOUGH and FAST and SMART. Like Chuuba, he is PAC 12 material. How they missed them is beyond me. Weber will be very, very tough, but I like our chances. I would advise our new OC to tone down the complicated multi-directional plays for a bit until we get our legs underneath ourselves. Also, Aggie roster numbers do not match well with the guys numbers on the field at this game. Or I may be missing something. No big deal. Great win!

    After watching these two Poly games I must agree that their announcers are extremely good. They know the rules, the stats, the history, the teams style of play and the intricacies of the game. And they are very fair. I love our guy, but I must say that they are at least very comparable and much fairer and more basketball know how. Our guy should try and be more like them in terms of basketball knowledge and not so much a homer guy. I must say, he is not that bad. Everyone needs improvement. IMHO

    Could someone remind me how to get a replay of this game. Had to miss it live. Tried big west tv “on demand” but got nothing.
  • WBB: Aggies 5-1 (4-0) at Long Beach 11-1 (10-0) ESPN3 4:00 2/12 and 2/13
    Yes. And Cici will have numerous opportunities not the least of which is a possible modeling career as well as academia. She is very photogenic, athletic, and very smart. Mac is very athletic, vivacious and smart as well. Loved it when the ESPN people said she was a “Gritty” girl from the very “Gritty” Hamilton, Ontario Canada (next door to the extremely “Gritty” place called Detroit. Good or bad? Very good! Could be a real candidate for the Canadian National WBB team next year. Tough as nails. IMHO

    We recruited a wing and a guard. Our two seniors are a wing and a guard. NCAA says our seniors get another year due to Covid? I was hoping Cierra and Trpcic would be back in 2021-22 season. Maybe I will be sadly disappointed; maybe they, Cierra and Mac, have other plans. We could be awesome if we got them again next year. Anybody know if Campbell’s surgery went well? She is a very, very good for a young guard. And, no, I am not looking past this year, but no doubt 2020-2021 will go into the books with a big * no matter what. What Jen has done is nothing less than great!
  • The next Aggie QB?
    I seem to recall that Tompkins does not need to use the laces on the football to pass it effectively. Unique talent, if true.

    I tend to disagree on Z’s point. I think that pressure on the minds of quality athletes which Cierra is may be a plus in making FTs, but who am I to know. Only had FTs in IM games at Hickey. No pressure and I missed all the time. Whatever, Cierra is great..
  • Montana, Montana State opt out of spring FCS championship season
    Friend now says “not so fast” it could just be a pool for hydrotherapy. Probably more likely?
  • Montana, Montana State opt out of spring FCS championship season
    In watching the construction begin I always wondered why they started with a huge concrete pit in the center of the building where the steel is going up. I asked a knowledgeable friend who looked and said it had to be for an MRI machine. If so, that’s rather incredible. I doubt that many if any NFL stadiums are equipped with their own MRIs. I wonder though if it might just be for potential future use, because of the huge cost of an MRI machine.
  • Montana, Montana State opt out of spring FCS championship season
    Interesting to watch the Edwards Athletic Performance facility steel go up. Go to UC Davis webcam- construction site. Time-lapsed footage is about 30 minutes spaced. I just cannot believe how those iron workers can put up a big building so fast. The building is much bigger than I had thought.
  • COVID-19
    Yeah, I agree. Time out on the field.
  • Montana, Montana State opt out of spring FCS championship season
    I need a little info: do all players get another year of eligibility because of the Covid thing?

    Two points: 1) I am sure you all know by now that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies are and have successfully used personal location data tracking from smart phones to ID many of the capitol rioters. To my knowledge none of the identified people located by this method is an Antifa person. I guess you could argue that since most Antifa people are smartypants lefties, that only they knew to turn off their phones while they were in Washington, and not the “dumb Trumpers”. 2) a shocking story in the NYT today about how this and similar (see facial recognition soft wear, CCTV, etc.) surveillance methods are so wide spread and potentially a very real threat to our privacy and civil rights. Do you know that right now Amazon, Goggle and countless other companies (not to mention the NSA) know where you are and where you have been in the last few days? Church? Strip Club? Laundromat? Worse? They know! Want to reread an excellent book on this subject get “God’s Eye View” by Barry Eisler. SCARY BUT INTERESTING.
  • MBB: UCD vs. CSUN, Friday, Feb. 5, 4:00 pm
    A few years ago there was a thread about the tactics of road games (this was when you could fly to games!). Some say go early get some time on the court (field) the day before. Some said no, just show up and play. Hard to say with a long bus trip. Guys who can sleep on a bus (not me) are probably OK playing same day, but the guys who cant, not so much. For the Gals the long bus trip to Eugene OR will take its toll I am sure no matter arrival time, just so hard on the legs. But our Gals are strong and determined. I expect a competitive game.
  • Blue is leaving
    I think you are right. Look what that got us. . . .
  • Blue is leaving
    I dont think so at this level at least. Reason is probably to protect the privacy of the unsuccessful candidates. Seems fair to me. Also, not likely that general public input would really add much to the process. In the UC systems high level hires are considered only under extremely private circumstances for just that reason.
  • COVID-19
    If the antifa people looked scummy, how do you rate the capitol rioters in terms of appearance? And I’m not just talking about the QAnon guy with the horns. They mostly looked like homeless people except many of them were overweight, over-tattooed, unshaven and downright dirty looking. They all look like they could use some UBI to me (antifa and cap rioters)!
  • COVID-19
    No. Hitler tried too wipe them out. Did not succeed. Roma are a 500 yrear old people. Actually a very endearing people IMHO.
