Colgate has popped a couple of big runs against the Poly D and a Poly TO led to another Colgate TD. Lot of time left but Poly has their work cut out for them.

And, now, Poly just dropped a long pass that was a sure TD.

Thanks for the heads up SloStang and Go Poly!

It would be nice if he remembers alma mater and donates significantly to the university.

Shade structures and trees anywhere in the areas outside the stadium along with picnic tables would be a blessing. Actually, anything that creates shade for the hot days inside and outside the stadium would be wonderful.

I had a feeling that this might happen given all the attention he has attracted lately. The big programs play hardball and don't let too many diamonds slip through the cracks.

Blue is gold! (Y)

That's exciting news about the new scoreboard. It was hard for us to see the video replays clearly from our seats in section 124. So this year we moved our seats to section 120 and, now with the new "monster" scoreboard, the screen will be huge for us!

Bravo!!! It sounds like we have a chancellor that understands the exposure and prestige that outstanding athletics can bring to the university. I give a lot of credit to Ralph Hexter and Kevin Blue for really getting the ball rolling on this too.

Jonah Underwood, the 6'8 forward transfer from San Jose City College has been officially announced and is eligible to play this fall. In starting all 24 games last season for SJCC, he averaged 20.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots per game while shooting .483 from the floor. He was ranked #2 and #5 in the state in blocks and rebounds per game and had a triple double against Monterey Peninsula College with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 10 blocked shots. Underwood also comes to Davis with a 4.0 gpa.

There's an abundance of new energy in Aggie football:

The scheduling format for this tournament is really confusing. It appears that we play at Nevada on December 17th and the semis and finals are in Vegas on December 22-23 with other earlier games for hosts and visitors TBA.

The field is set with the Aggies, Nevada, San Francisco, Southern Illinois, Lamar, Duquesne, North Carolina A&T and Radford.

The Huskies may have struggled last year but I'll take any and all games vs the PAC-12.

The Aggies have offered 6'3 SG Jack Schwietz who, as you said, plays for the Oakland Soldiers also. He attends Findlay Preparatory Academy in Henderson, Nevada. Findlay Prep is a program that has produced quite a few players that were eventually drafted into the NBA. He has offers from the Aggies, UCSB, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

I think I saw Mason Forbes at some Aggie games last season. It's hard to miss that fro! He has offers from San Diego State, Pepperdine, Brown Cal Poly and San Jose State and there may be others.

The play of Kehei Clark got UC Davis and Jim Les a lot of publicity by the TV announcers yesterday. Clark got as much praise from them as USC's 5 star recruit Taeshon Cherry.

His stock is rising quickly with all the exposure he is now receiving so I'm sure there will be attempts by other schools to lure him away. However, he committed quickly and early to the Aggies and there are photos of him with his family wearing Aggie gear when he announced his commitment. I get the feeling that he and his family place a high value on education and the kind of integrity we have in Aggie Athletics. They obviously like Coach Les and his approach to coaching as well. He'll have a chance to shine at Davis and receive an outstanding education as well.

This is great news for the Aggies. Kehei Clark is only 5'8 but he has impressive basketball skills regardless of his height. He was very composed under pressure, shot the ball well, and made excellent decisions with the ball. He is lightning quick with either hand, has great floor awareness and makes wonderful assists. He'll have a good shot at playing as a true freshman for the Ags next year. Coach Les has gone and gotten a real good floor general.

His AAU team, the Oakland Soldiers, beat Team Takeover (Washington DC) 70-63 to win the prestigious EYBL Nike Peach Jam Championship. Clark led his team with 18 points on 5 of 9 from the floor overall (3 of 5 from 3) and 5 of 7 from the line.

You can watch the ESPN replay of the game here:

We have offered DB Delano Ware 6'0" 190 from El Cerrito HS. We are his first offer but he is gaining a lot of attention and will probably be a long shot to land. He values education so that's a big plus for us.

Former NFL DB, Mark McMillan, said this about Ware:

"Ware is a long, athletic safety with tremendous upside and is truly a SEC, Big 12 or Pac-12 caliber defensive back and should have no problem securing a scholarship as a student-athlete," McMillan said."

Off the field, Ware has been described as not only a leader on the field, but in the classroom as well. He leads the study hall sessions on campus and stresses the importance of “no player is left behind” at ECHS.

Totally agree, 6th. I'm hoping that we will reload this year instead of rebuilding and, little by little, increase our level of competition. I hope I live long enough to see the day that we become a west coast mid-major power with an exciting OOC home schedule.

BTW, nice to see you posting again...seems like you've been away for a while...

It's a good start in the right direction!
