    The following is a great article chronicling the life and career of former Aggie QB Khari Jones who is now the Head Coach of the Montreal Alouettes. There are many references to Jones' time at UCD and lots of quotes from Bob Biggs.

    Thanks for posting that, enjoyed the read. I saw a couple of games when Khari was QB, but I was oblivious to his pro playing career, and his coaching story. Now I'm a solid Als fan.

    The article made me think back to a couple of players in my day who did some acting as students. There was a standout tailback in 74-75, Rickey Hamilton, who was also quite good on the stage. He was pursuing an acting career, but died suddenly, tragically just a couple of years after leaving UCD, brain hemorrhage if I recall. Haven't thought of Rickey in quite a while.

    Love the adjusting meetings so he could play Juan Peron in Evita. Classic D2 days culture.

    The first UC Davis game I ever saw was UC Davis @ Portland State and Khari was at QB. Had a solid day, we played great special teams that day as well.
