In this pilot episode of Aggie Pride, hosts Brock Galvin and Dwight Smith broadcast live from Martinez, California, sharing their deep roots with UC Davis football. They recount their personal journeys, from high school football dreams to walking on at UC Davis, highlighting memorable moments and influential people. They discuss their motivations for starting the podcast and the concept of 'Aggie Pride,' aiming to foster a stronger connection among fans, alumni, and the UC Davis community. The episode sets the stage for future discussions on team rosters, coaching changes, game predictions, and special guest appearances.
We will be starting an Instagram and Twitter soon to do a public launch but wanted to give the die-hard Aggie Faithful first listen. Be sure to follow the podcast on Apple or Spotify to get updates automatically when new episodes are posted.
Best comment was in the opening lines: "July in Davis is miserable."
Truer words were never spoken. That whole month peaks at the 4th of July, then everybody melts for 3 months straight.
Spent many a summer there just working in the campus labs, or interning in Sacramento - my friends would bartend, so we'd go out quite a bit, try not to get too dehydrated, met a lot of graduate students during the summer, many of them internationals...great life stories from all of them. Remember spending a lot of summer days at the Grad in '06 and even in '10 watching World Cup matches. Brazil matches brought out the best looking ladies, but the Spanish knew their futbol, they were very game savvy.
Finding out Caffe Italia is closing! That's so sad, had a buddy who used to waiter there. He's a P.E. now for Caltrans. Great place for Saturday morning breakfast.
