With tonight’s resounding 76-45 victory over Sac State in women’s basketball the current Causeway score is UCD 35, CSUS 5.

The next competition between the schools is the football game this coming Saturday in Sacramento.

An attempt to summarize the BCS playoff possibilities: https://herosports.com/fcs-2024-games-to-watch-for-playoff-bubble-seeds-bzbz/

Agreed...but Slack has a bit of a history of this. As I recall, (always a big "if" at my age) when they moved to scholarships and to then D-1AA they were cocky about it. Again relying on what passes for my memory I recall Coach Mattos saying there may come a time when Sac could no longer play a program like Davis.

Don't let your mouth write a check your butt can't cash.

(Do I have to explain "writing checks" to the younger members here?)

The Sac State fan board is imploding. A lot of frustration, finger pointing, hostility directed at the team, the QB who left, the coaches and each other.

As many here have noted, they have only one thing left to play for this season.

Beat Sac! "People should know when they are conquered!"

As you noted, Slack has only one thing to play for now, and it's not an invitation from the Pac-X conference.

FInal, Cal Poly 26, Sac 23. An Aggie win next week and the Hornets finish last in the Big Sky. (Technically tied with Idaho State, but the Bengals won their head-to-head meeting.)

EDIT: My bad. Slack is tied with Northern Colorado, not Idaho State. The Hornets and Bears did not meet this season. Northern Colorado travels to 2-5 Portland State next week. In another match up of 2-5 teams Weber State hosts Cal Poly. Could be a real log jam at the bottom of the standings.

Results from the NCAA D-1 Cross-Country West Regional, held in Colfax, WA, hosted by Washington State:

Women: UCD 11th place, 365 points - CSUS 28th place, 777 points
Men: UCD: 12th place, 357 points - CSUS 27th place, 780 points.

With the usual reservations about fall golf competition, the current Causeway Cup score is UCD 30, CSUS 5.

Next up is women's basketball this coming Wednesday, Nov. 20th, in Davis.

- It had a little montage of four photos from the Portland State at Slack game and the caption, "How's that Pac-12 application going?"

Apparently from a tweet (an X?) posted by a PSU fan.

When people ask me why Davis left D-2 I always answer that D2 left UCD. The list of D-2 schools west of the Rockies that dropped football, or moved to then D-1AA, or to D-3, or moved and then dropped football altogether is long.....St. Mary's, Santa Clara, Chico State, San Francisco State, Sonoma State, Humboldt State, CSU-Hayward/East Bay, Cal Lutheran, Azusa-Pacific, CSU-Northridge, Western Washington, Portland State, Sac State....and throw in D-1 schools that dropped football, Pacific, Long Beach....

There are no longer any D-2 football programs in California. I believe the only two on the Pacific Coast are Central Washington and Western Oregon and they play in the Texas centered Lone Star Conference.

(And the College of Idaho Yotes are NAIA.)

Time to go read the Slack State fan site.

Pac 2 conference just sent an invitation to Portland State. Still not accepting calls from Slack.

On another note, Slack has only one thing to play for in three weeks.

Box score has attendance at 10,638.

Ags defeated Hornets in men's soccer this afternoon, 4-2, in a match played in Sacramento. Running Causeway cup score is, I think, UCD 20, CSUS 5. That will certainly change when the spring schedules are announced, and whether or not the powers that be count fall competitions in what is traditionally a winter or spring sport, golf.

Next scheduled Causeway competitions are in men's and women's cross-country when both teams for both schools compete in the NCAA West Regionals on November 15 in Colfax, WA, hosted by Washington State.

Beating Davis might be the only thing Slack has to play for by that time.

Pardon a double post. In a poor internet connection spot.

Pac-12 search committee probably not taking calls from Sac this week.

Only three of the ten former Pac-12 teams won this weekend; Oregon, UCLA and Colorado, and Colorado's win was over former Pac-12 opponent Arizona.

Going into this weekend:
ACC
Stanford 1-2, 2-4
Cal 0-3, 3-3

Big Ten
Oregon 3-0, 6-0
Washington 2-2, 4-3
USC 1-3, 3-3
UCLA 0-4, 1-5

Big 12
Arizona State 2-1, 5-1
Colorado 2-1, 4-2
Arizona 1-2, 3-3
Utah 1-2, 4-2

The "Conference of Champions" is 13-20 in their new conferences. The California schools are 2-12.

UCD women's golf finished the three round Molly Invitational in a tie for 4th place of 11 teams with a score of 884 strokes or 20 over par. Sac ended up in 8th place at 901 strokes and 37 over par.

Diving further into asterisk scoring, the Causeway score is (?) UCD 15, CSUS 5. That may change when the spring schedules are announced, and whether or not the powers that be count fall competition in what are traditionally winter or spring sports. The UCD website does not include the fall golf events.

The next event, (on the posted schedules for both schools) is a fall softball game this coming Saturday in Sacramento.

EDIT: October 7. Neither school posted results for the October 5th fall softball game. All is right with the world.

Box score has the attendance at 2,031.
