Causeway Cup

    With the mens basketball win, we lead the current cup standings, 30-5. The Ag website was updated by the time I got home from the game last night, and I live a couple of miles from Golden1.

    That's 30 points out of a total of 80. If football, volleyball and basketball were still 10 points instead of 5, we'd be up 45-5 of a total 100.

    A women' basketball victory on the 18th would be a nice capper to the calendar year. (And would clinch under the old scoring system.)

    You know it's bad when a scoring system change is the only way you have a chance at winning the Causeway Cup!

    WIth the resounding victory in women's basketball this afternoon, Davis leads the Causeway Cup competition, 30-5, out of a total of 80 points.

    Ags swept what used to the the 10 point matches: football, volleyball and both basketball games.

    I think we actually lead 35-5 after the 5 points we get for the WBB win according to the totals shown in links posted by PA above.

    You are correct. ...and to think someone started this thread noting that the men's earlier basketball win gave the Ags 30 points.

    Thanks

    ...and to beat this to death, under the previous scoring system, where football, volleyball and basketball were worth ten points, we would now have 55 points of a possible 100 and would have wrapped this thing up before Christmas.

    Go Ags!

    I may have been prescient. As of today, the ucdavisaggies.com website has the women's basketball victory and score, but shows the current Causeway Cup points at 30-5. Hopefully by the time anyone checks this out it will have been corrected and I can be accused of fake news, in which event I will enter politics.

    WTEN picked up 5 points with a 4-3 victory yesterday, which I believe brings us to 40 to secure at least a tie

    Big gymnastics battle today at 1 pm in the Pavilion between the Ags and the Hornets. The Aggies have been getting really good crowds for their meets and I expect this match will draw an impressive number of fans. Sac is always very tough in gymnastics.

    Go Ags!

    Davis wins the Causeway Cup and it isn't even February yet. Current score is 42.5-5 with 32.5 points still out there.

    (I originally had this as 45-5, but the gymnastics points are split. There is a second gymnastics meet on March 3.)

    Under the old system, where football, volleyball and basketball were worth 10 points rather than 5, the score would be 62.5-5.

    I think this has something to do with the Electoral College.

    (I originally had this as 65-5, but the gymnastics points are split. There is a second gymnastics meet on March 3.)

    Slack often does better in winter and spring sports....tennis, gymnastics, baseball and softball, track & field.

    To take both women's tennis and gymnastics on back to back days is icing on the cake.

    Aggie women defeated Slack in tennis today, 4-3, to bring the cumulative points to 40-5 and guarantees at least a tie in this season's competition. A win or a tie in any of the 10 remaining events gives the cup to the Ags.

    I have no idea where the above message has been lingering in the cyber-void. I hit "send" on the day of the match, 1-28-17. Maybe I should take my Commodore 64 into the shop for some repair work.

    My bad, 72. It was marked as spam (no idea way) and I approved it without looking at the date. Let me know if you need me to delete it. Thanks for the heads up!

    Yeah, and you got the nod for posting the score on the day it happened.

    Weird that I tried to edit the message as it was posted yesterday, just to save myself from looking any dumber than my kids already think I am, and my attempted edit was blocked as spam. To be honest, most of what I add to this website is probably spam.

    Do as you wish, I am not bothered by it being there, and it has started a life of its own.

    Won it January 29 with a win in gymnastics. It's all sweet icing on the cake from here on out.

    Next up, return games/meets in softball on Wednesday and gymnastics on Friday.
