    SD score. Aggies did make it tough for them in the last 5 yards though. Tie game.
  • Week 2: UC Davis @ San Diego
    Urgh Maier threw a pick now, SD ball on the 30
  • Week 2: UC Davis @ San Diego
    1st Quarter over. 14-7 with SD ball on the Aggie 40.

    Defense is more porous than one would hope/think after the performance against cal. USD seems better on offense than the Bears
  • Week 2: UC Davis @ San Diego
    14-7, Aggies with ball and rolling
  • Week 2: UC Davis @ San Diego
    Urgh just gave up a kick return TD. Half of the Aggies seemed to touch him at some point but couldn't bring him down
  • Week 2: UC Davis @ San Diego
    Harrell TD!!!!

    Receiving corps is still solid. Gilliam looks like he'll win the Walter Payton someday
  • Week 2: UC Davis @ San Diego
    Ags are on the 20 after another huge UG run.

    Wait no Crawford just caught it at the 6 I can't type fast enough
  • Week 2: UC Davis @ San Diego
    Excited to see an Aggie defense for the first time in a while. Let's see if Cal was just terrible or we're actually improved
  • Week 2: UC Davis @ San Diego
    Barely over a minute in and we're already up a TD. This offense might be something special

    I can't tell whether it's a premium game or not. If it is, you just need to create a free trial account I think.

    Looks like it will be on Stadium, which is normally the Mountain West streaming site iirc (I guess because WCC network doesn't do football?)

    I'll look into it and provide links in the morning
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    We're largely in agreement, Band-Uh! was well-loved and this is gonna be a major blow to the Aggie community. I think this is a very risky decision for admin and one that I personally am sad about from my outside-looking-in perspective.

    I'm just saying, like I said in an earlier comment, we don't know if what's been published is the full story. We don't know if there's other issues going through campus disciplinary channels. We don't know if any of the sexual harassment issues alleged like between alumni and band members, have gone or will go to litigation or court. My work experience in this area that leads me to think it's very possible that the university wouldn't necessarily publish all the evidence they have.

    Like I said in earlier, UCD could have much more easily kept the Band-Uh! name but still made it campus-run. I honestly do not believe admin is that stupid to scrap it entirely without having some reason to do so that made sense from their perspective. Maybe it's as you say and it was entirely based on a strong reaction to what we already know. But it could very well be more than that.

    This is just my two cents. Again, I don't know what's up.
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    I feel like there's two issues at play here: the substantiveness of the underlying claims and the decision admin made based on how it interpreted/believed those claims.

    I don't think we, as keyboard warriors, have any realistic shot of evaluating the substantiveness of the claims. It seems like it's a stretch to me to dive into the majors of the accusers and other extraneous details. And I know that I actually had something happen to me like what's been accused I would be really uncomfortable/hurt that random people were actively looking for ways to discredit me purely based on publicly available information.

    The university's investigators and disciplinary apparatus (and the courts, if anything discussed goes to trial or a civil suit) will be the ones who actually substantiate/ have substantiated the claims. It makes more sense to me to talk about whether we think the University made the appropriate response to what it believed were supportable accusations. I'm personally queasy on that front because I don't think calling the band something new will necessarily solve problems if they exist, and if they wanted to just make Band-Uh! a campus-run organization they could have done that. It wouldn't have been popular, but it wouldn't have gotten the kind of reaction this decision is getting.
  • Ticket prices
    There are some on Stubhub for less: https://www.stubhub.com/uc-davis-aggies-football-tickets-uc-davis-aggies-football-davis-aggie-stadium-davis-9-28-2019/event/103971828/?sort=price+asc&sid=1672324

    Presumably folks are selling PDF tickets from presales/ticket packages/ some other giveway.

    There are also other paid lots on campus, no? Seems to me that if the parking pass is only for a certain lot then they're charging you a premium for convenience.
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    On the other hand, what we know very well could be the the extent of the allegations and the University decided this was the appropriate response. I don't know, and I'm not sure any of us ever will without an insider source.
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    In fairness, we don't know that there isn't one or won't be one. We wouldn't necessarily be privy to something going through the campus disciplinary channels or had a police report taken. Or if folks are talking to attorneys to decide the next course of action.

    I think the assumption that what's been published so far represents the extent of the allegations could very well be wrong. Remember that despite tremendous interest from both fans and media, we still have never heard what happened that caused Chima to get permanently and immediately suspended.
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    I don't have a consistent opinion or take on this so I'll just lay out a couple of thoughts


    • Reforming the band seems like the university is taking a huge risk. Not only might it just never catch on and become a tradition like Band-Uh! did, but renaming it doesn't necessarily make the problems go away.
    • On the other hand, this might have to do as much with consistent admin clashes with the Band-Uh! than just he most recent allegations. Admin maybe felt the need to demonstrate to student orgs that there's a consequence level beyond suspension for repeat violations.
    • The extent of what's included in the University's report may not be the extent of the actual allegations / proven incidents that factored into this decision. If students reported things through other channels (i.e. to campus police, Title IX coordinator off the top of my head) then there might be other confidentiality rules in play.
    • I was president of a social club and I'm trying to picture what would have happened we had activities similar to those alleged against Band-Uh! that local news reported on. I imagine we would have at least gotten disinvited from campus events that we coordinated with admin on. (Effectively, the equivalent of no longer being able to play at games). Not sure about getting dissolved as an org though.
    • Don't know if there is really any standard for due process here. It's an org that uses university facilities and plays at university events. Don't know who owns the trademark but as someone else said they might very well be allowed to call themselves Band-Uh! and play off-campus. Just the university has likely no particular obligation to provide a forum for them.
  • Where can I get an Aggie Doss jersey?
    So... since there seems to be a bit of dissatisfaction with the store offerings, would there be any interest in creating an "Official AST" fan jersey? Pretty sure UCD can't/won't do anything if someone uses a custom jersey website to make a navy and white 15 jersey that happens to say "DAVIS" on it.
