I'm hopeful that we'll see the Aggies really come together and play their best game of the season. I feel like this is a pretty talented team still waiting to put it all together in a game from start to finish. The forecast is for 79 degrees at the start of the game which is unseasonably warm for this time of the year and the sun will again be directly in the eyes of everyone on the east side of the stadium.

Go Ags!

Exactly. It seems like a whole lot of sour grapes to me. I think Hawk mentioned that he got to watch Cody coach during the Bye week and that he also got to visit his grandkids. I think Barnum is making a lot of assumptions that something nefarious was going on and he'll probably try and use his "conspiracy theory" as a way to motivate his team.

The Aggies soccer season came to an abrupt end in the Big West Tournament as the #2 seeded Ags lost to #3 Cal Poly 2-1 on a penalty kick in the 81st minute.

How was the Meet & Greet event?

The #4 seeded Aggies scored in the 80th minute today to beat #5 Cal Poly 1-0 in the first round of the Big West Soccer Tournament. The Ags now move on to play #1 Fullerton on Saturday the semi-finals round. Go Ags!

Give a report back on what the coaches have to say. I'm looking forward to basketball getting underway next week. Maybe this is your year to get lucky with the raffle!

Anyone going to the Men's & Women's Basketball Meet & Greet Event with the players and the coaches at the El Macero Country Club from 5:30 - 7:00 pm tonight?

The box score shows that Jen substituted freely and a lot of the players got some playing time in both halves. However, I saw that Sabel, who started the game, didn't play at all in the final 2 quarters whereas the other starters did. I hope she didn't get injured.

What an entertaining and insightful presser. The thing that stands out to me in this presser is Hawk's honesty and wisdom.

We all want to win and play for championships but, when thing's aren't going well, most fans tend to fault the coaches and the QB first. I thought his explanation about how each of the 3 interceptions were not simply Miles' fault alone. The receivers have to run the correct routes and be in the right place for the timing of the pass to be accurate and that didn't happen on the first interception. The same thing contributed to Miles holding onto the ball longer and then getting hit from the back when he fumbled. There are a lot of moving parts that need to be in sync for a passing play to be successful so interceptions are not solely about what appears to be a poorly thrown ball by the QB.

I thought Hawk's answer to what he told the team today was special and it tells us a lot about why we are so fortunate to have him as our head coach.

I said it earlier in this thread but I'll say it again, the most concerning thing to me is that we haven't improved as the season has progressed. If anything, we've regressed some.

The Ags fell to visiting Long Beach 3-1 (23-25, 30-28, 19-25, 16-26) last night. The Aggies are now 6-6 in the Big West and 11-11 overall. The Aggies continue their stretch of home games against Irvine next Thursday, November 2nd at 6 pm.

The Aggies ended the regular season on a sour note by losing to Sac State 1-0 at home. The Ags will now play there first game of the Big West Tournament against Cal Poly next Wednesday, November 1st at 3 pm in Davis.

No kidding!

Sac turned a close game at the half into a blowout and beats Idaho State 51-16 while racking up 587 yards. I don't even want to think about the Causeway game....
