I wish they'd push the Bossy Cow Cow into The Museum of University Farm Antiques...if you want to turn off the few students we do get to come out to a game...let them hear that archaic ditty...ugh!

I believe the Griz lost 4 fumbles. That puts a damper on your offensive game plan

The Chronicle is 1/10th its former size.

Is any paper thriving?

Losing hurts when you're in the top 25, except if it's #3 SDSU losing narrowly to #1 NDSU -- in which case, you stay #3!

Josh Kelley shines again against top rated UW.

"UCLA was led on offense by running back Joshua Kelley - who recorded career-highs in both rushing (125) and receiving (39) yards while becoming the first Bruin since Paul Perkins in 2015 to net 100+ rushing yards in back-to-back games..."

McClatchy only held the Knight Ridder papers for a few months. before the purchase of the same papers by Media news group. McClathchy was pretty much ill affected by the deal. The problem with newspapers is they fired most of their writers, and instead buy articles from other companies to replace the articles that writers would have produced in house. These articles are all on the internet. But, if the papers have their own writers, and they do not allow them to be reprinted or offered on websites, they would sell more papers. Local news becomes neglected, as no other papers write about local news except for the large cities.

That's good for Josh. Still find it kind of ironic that he left the Aggies to go to big time college football and is now on an 0-5 UCLA team while the Aggies are thriving. Players have to do what they feel is best for them in the long run, but I will always wonder if guys in situations such as these feel any kind of regret.

...and it's not like an outstanding player here won't be considered by the pros...

Not Big Sky but Elon went into their game at #2 James Madison as a 39.5 point underdog and shocked the Dukes 27-24 and broke JMU's 19 game home winning streak in the process. Like they say...there's a reason they play the games...

Apparently Colorado State had a similar letdown, allowing San Jose to score 30 points in 8 minutes.

Including a mishandled punt at the 2 yard line, leading to a touchback. Sounds familiar.

BIG SKY ROUNDUP: Wild weekend shakes up league standings

Not to count our chickens before they hatch but this weeks results seem to bode well for us. Sac State and Montana games appear a little more winnable.
Suddenly Idaho State seems as good a team anyone on our schedule except Eastern Washington. Fortunately this ones at home.

We'll see. But we have to learn how to play and coach a solid 4 quarters.

Would that we had a 49-10 4th quarter lead to fritter away every Saturday.

"Bossy Cow Cow" should be a footnote, and a small one at that, in Aggie lore. It was a derivation of the mother campus' "Oski Wow Wow." I didn't mind other bovine images such as graphics, etc. Really liked the antique traction engine at Toomey. Then again I was born in the Midwest and probably lack the cultural upbringing of today's student body....

Back to the Bee and recent coverage....they couldn't send a reporter a couple of miles to cover a Sac State vs Cal Poly game, but sent a reporter to a strip club in Rancho Cordova to cover an appearance by an aging porn star who is reviving her otherwise moribund career by telling her tale of bedding the groper-in-chief, ...but I digress.

Beat the Bengals!

NorCal politics in the press. Locker room banter better than Chappaquiddick and Marilyn. Both very sad.

Look on the very bright side ... 3.7% unemployment, low inflation, and NK not lobbying missiles all over!

A win is a win, and hopefully injuries remain low.

Hahaha...I loved the old steam engine too so maybe it had to do with my Midwest roots as well...and maybe the Bee should hire you to do a tongue-in-cheek column like Bob Dunning does for the Enterprise...

I just came back from 3 weeks in Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana and the thing that struck me the most this time was just how green everything is...I've been living in brown so long I had nearly forgotten that. Really beautiful and lush...but the humidity that keeps everything so green also turns a mild day into sweltering greenhouse. I don't miss that nor do I miss tornado warning sirens blaring...which happened while we were in the Detroit area...those twisters are so unpredictable and big nowadays...terrifying! I'll stick to firenadoes and earthquake country... :yikes:

A couple of things I do miss about the Midwest. My California born and raised wife and I were back there about this time of year ten years ago. She was in awe of fall colors and that was just driving along the Interstate near Chicago. Imagine driving through parts of Minnesota or Wisconsin, or along the Mississippi River between Iowa and Illinois in October and November. I don't miss humid summers, or sub-zero winters, but I would like to wake up to snow on Christmas morning. It can melt by the 26th, but that one morning a year...

I've been in Brown County (southern Indiana near Bloomington) during the fall and it is stunningly beautiful. The colors were just beginning to turn in northern Wisconsin while we were just back there in mid September.

In the Bee's defense, Stormi Daniels had a better night than the Hornets.

i love that thing. I mean how intellectually obtuse can you get. It’s meant all in good fun and speaks of the historic ag tradition. I remember when the scrubbed the CA off the water tower because the penny loader types (I think who wanted UCD to have an SC image or something) were embarrassed by what the CA stood for. I love it that Hawkins has brought that back and I saw a lot of CA hats at the Stanford game.

The second verse of Big C (as quoted by someone else on a Davis history website).

Our rendition of Big C included:

On our mighty water tower
Stands our symbol, clear and bold.
CA means to fight and strive and win for Blue and Gold.

Good old Ollie’s ever watching
Day by day he prowls
And when he hears the buzz of the Sacramento fuzz
From his lair he fiercely growls

Grrrrrah, Grrrrrrah! Hey, Hey!
Grrrrrah, Grrrrrrah! Hey, Hey!
Grrrr, Rrrr, Rrrrrah!


The first verse ... We are Sons of California,
Fighting for the Gold and Blue.
Palms of glory we will win
for Alma Mater true.
... Etc.

Ollie was our mascot at the time.

I hear ya...but something about the Bossy Cow Cow just makes me cringe...sorry... :sad:
