    It’s Groundhog Day at sac state once again. Sac Bee announced today that Kaiden Bennett QB out of Folsom HS will be transferring to sac state this fall. This will be his third transfer! He was recruited by Boise st. Then transferred to Nevada. Now to sac. Bee claims he will be immediately eligible with 4 years eligibility. Right out of the Thompson playbook. Quite surprising given that Taylor said sac was loaded with QBs after Thompson left. Guess they weren’t.

    Yes, and this was a situation with adult professional baseball players with a union that agreed to play under these conditions with full knowledge of the possible bad health consequences. And look what happened. Not good at all. I cannot imagine that any university would subject its student athletes to the known serious dangers of this virus just to play football. The liability exposure for this is just beyond anything I can imagine. Maybe the asbestus lawsuits of the 2 past decades or so would be somewhat close, but these Victims were old guys who worked at Mare Island, Sausalito etc. in the ‘40’s and ‘50’s and were then in their 70’s, 80’s and even their ‘90’s with minimal life expectancies. And still their families won millions in damages at trial. I was there and I know. They were not kids killed or disabled at age 18-22. That was WW1. WW2. Korea. We have now lost more people to the virus than we lost in Vietnam Nam. Do we want to try for WW2 numbers? I would love for football to be played in the fall or even the spring, but I just don't think we should expect this at this point.
  • Big Sky Virtual Kickoff July 23-24
    So is Friday going to be the day the “big announcement” will be made by the BSC on the upcoming football season? They cant wait much longer or can they?

    Impressive! DB a very hard position to recruit. Good job by coaches to get this kid.

    My brother-in-law knows some of the Cardinal Newman coaches which did beat MC in a playoff game last season. That said they added: “This Perez kid is just awesome- we could not do much to stop him. Great fit for UC Davis’ program.”

    Outstanding get for Speckman et. Al. Fast, explosive and durable. Excellent kid and good student. May be the 415 guy that Plough mentioned?
  • COVID-19
    Oh now I get it: COVID-19 is no problem at all! This is “The Big Lie” propaganda method. Tell such a colossal lie that no one would ever believe it could be anything but the truth. Coined by none other than Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf 1925. And it works.
    Movie: one question: if this virus had hit in the last year of Obama’s presidency would Tucker Carlson and Fox all be singing the same tune to protect Obama from blame for his “mishandling the virus”? Try and be honest.

    Our nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year is an outstanding and non-binary member of our woman’s soccer team. Does movie think she should be disqualified on the basis of her sexual identification? His comment of late would certainly so. Thankfully, the NCAA does not agree.

    HERO Sports FCS Football Ratings for this upcoming season:

    No1. ND State

    No Poly. No Davis. EW way down the line, but at least listed.

    I am very disappointed that the Hawk did not approach Thompson to transfer to UCD

    Movie, Biden is up by 5 points in Texas! Totally unprecedented. This is not 2016. Sorry i do not feel your pain.

    Just like Mary Matalin and James Carville. How they and Conways do it is incredible. I recall that Mary came to Davis years ago and spoke. Called Carville “my husband the axe-murderer’” because of his looks. Which is quite accurate. But Carville is a very smart political strategist who said yesterday that Trump is so far behind in the polls now that “he probably will pull out of the race’” and added “its all but over for Trump, that he cannot come back from this, and has no chance to win it.” (Or words to that effect) i cant say that I agree with all he said, but interesting that he did say it.
  • Morgan Bertsch signing with Dallas wings....
    WNBA eliminated preseason camp and cut all squads to 11 or 12 players as of May 26. So Morgan had no opportunity to compete for a spot on the Wings roster. Ditto for many if not most drafted 2010 players. Very unfair to those players. They were not paid either. Gotta give Morgan a lot of credit. She has changed positions (5 to a 4 which are very different positions to play. Drafted by Wings, Gone to Russia. Now to Poland. She has grit that is for sure.
  • DIII Conference suspends fall sports
    Big Sky conference dropped tennis as a required sport last month. Northern Col. And Southern Utah have now cut the sport. 62% of all US collegiate players are foreign so expect a lot more similar cuts.
  • Ivy League scraps fall sports
    Chancellor May announced today that UCD would have enough actual classes in place to accommodate our foreign students to allow them to get around Trumps ridiculous new visa rules. Not only is Trump incompetent, he is an extremely mean and cruel racist. By all accounts, he is the worst president this nation has ever elected.
  • Stanford cuts some sports
    Boise State just cut 3 sports: baseball, men’s and woman’s swimming and diving saving 2.3M in doing so. Boise AD says that if they cannot fill 36,000 capacity Albertsons Stadium for football This year its ICA program will have a deficit of 10M+.and will be unsustainable.
  • Stanford cuts some sports
    That is a big lake as I recall. Got very funky in the dead of summer. Is this job to try and fix that?
  • Stanford cuts some sports
    Are they finally working on Lake Spafford? A few pics would be nice.
  • Stanford cuts some sports
    Stanfords cut of 11 sports is sure to prompt cuts by other big ICA programs. I would think that Berkeley's ICA may be next. In short, it is a mess both in terms of a huge deficit and title IX. Just look at two metrics: cal spends 35M on men’s sports with men’s coaches averaging a $533,000 salary versus 14M on woman’s sports with $150,000 average salary for the women’s coaches. I realize alumni support is fairly strong, but not enough to make this program sustainable in the long term.
