• 2025 Football Recruiting

    Like Mike said, players don’t attend. But looking around the room, there appeared to be a lot of former players. Tim is so engaging, and i think he connects to the younger football alumni more so than some of our previous coaches. The model for this event has always been different than the basketball recruitment gathering. In the latter, its coaches and all the players, where each player gives a brief life overview. The shear size of the football team prevents a similar model. But in the spring, they have a social where many of the players, and all the coaches are present and mingle with the guests. I really enjoy meeting the players. How many football programs let commoners like me mingle with players and coaches and provide opportunity to have lunch with the head coach?
    BTW, Tim did mention there will be a night time spring game on a Saturday, end of April. He’s hopeful that there will be a big turnout.

    Rocko opened it up and talked about how lucky we were to have Tim and that he wants to be sure we have the resources that are needed to retain our coaching talent. Tim introduced all the coaches and briefly talked about their attributes. He went over many of the new recruits, most of which are from CA. As he has done in the past, he compared resources that the top FCS schools have to ours and the need for deeper levels of support. Paraphrasing here, but he said something like “give me comparable resources, make it a fair fight, and we will win.” The luncheons with the ball coach resumes 2/19 monthly. Always a fun informal event. I try to attend.

    Last night at the signing party Coach commented about both lines. I think our lines are going to look better when the dust settles, possibly from anticipated walk ons? BTW, last night i asked him about clarifying the difference between PWO and walk ons. No difference, a walk on is a walk on.

    “ Any leads or ideas send our way!”
    We all have speculated in multiple threads, on how to bring more warm bodies into the bleachers. How about an episode on this topic? Interview Rocko, Flush, maybe a few students (ASUCD?), and certainly a spokesperson from the alumni assoc. who would be major stake holders in alumni support.
  • Low Interest in Men's Basketball?
    I enjoy MBB and my wife and I are season ticket holders. But most of the time I’m not knowledgable enough on BB strategy to make meaningful posts. So i read but limit my posts.

    I think that’s what they’ve been doing with Sevilla, that is, setting him up to shoot the 3.

    With the qb room seemingly already full, it surprises me we are still adding to the group unless they will be switch hitters like Trent.

    “ Not sure what “talent pool” we are talking about… Folsom HS or Folsom State Prison? ”
    I needed a good laugh, thanks for that. But don’t forget Burt Reynolds team won, lol.

    Ditto. I have the same question.
  • Considering a new Business
    In terms of pub food, i would suggest a limited menu. Have the best (name it) in N. California. There’s a place in Woodland called Zitos. They are known for their tacos. People come from all over to get tacos, even if they don’t drink. Needs plenty of seating. Years ago there was a mexican sports bar near baskin robbins. They had the best taco salad around, but didn’t survive as a sports bar. It was owned by the folks who own la fogata in Woodland.
  • UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow

    Yeah, he was from Woodland. “Captain Aggie.” The last time i saw him he was using a walker. He got into trouble at some point for coming to the game after having a few too many. I don’t remember his name. But he did have a knack at getting the crowd worked up.

  • MBB: Idaho (4-7) at UC Davis (6-4, 2-0), Wednesday, Dec. 18, 6:00 pm
    Uninspired play. The Ags were just flat. Like others have said, FTs were about as bad as they could be. I actually started feeling bored and left early. I guess every team has an off day.
    They had a new dance group at the game. Sad to see they ignored the national anthem and sat with their backs to the flag.
