Appears to be the Cal OC's son.

Hughes was OK at the time, but may not be as the programs move up the NCAA ladder. The stadium holds about 25,000. Back when the Causeway was played there the field was grass. Sac City plays their games there and at the time several city high schools (Sacramento, Kennedy, McClatchy, Christian Brothers and I think even Johnson) played their games there. By late in the season the field was in pretty bad shape. (Back in the NCAC days the schedules rotated and the Causeway was not always the final regular season game.) The city high schools have since improved fields on their campuses and no longer play at Hughes, though the Jesuit v Christian Brothers "Holy Bowl" is still played there. Grass was replaced with artificial turf in 2012.

Of course the Varsity wouldn't want to play all the collegiate JV teams on a community college field.

This will help in the search for a FBS level conference affiliation.

The school was quick to point out the brawlers were not students. I hope this is not reflective of the broader community to which Sac is trying to appeal.

Still early, but at this point Marion has shown himself to be a good assistant, but has yet to prove himself as a head coach. We've been there.

Running Causeway score is now UCD 12.5, CSUS 0.

Next event is men's soccer on November 1 in Davis.

Note: Davis men's tennis is hosting a fall event, the Aggie Invitational, on October 10-12. CSUS is entered. Not sure how that fits into the very informal structure of the Causeway Cup.

CSUS women are the powerhouse in this area at 4-5-0. CSUS men are 1-5-1.

I need to get a life.

UCD mens golf finished eighth of 16 teams at the Ram Masters Invitational at Ft. Collins, CO, with a total score of 866 strokes, putting them two strokes better than Sac, who finished in ninth place.

Running Causeway score is UCD 7.5, CSUS 0. Next event is womens soccer this coming Thursday in Sacramento.

Oregon State is the only current school in the Pac-12 with a women's gymnastics team. Boise State and Utah State each have women's gymnstics and will join the Pac-12 in 2026. The Pac-12 has now added Southern Utah as an affiliate member in women's gymnastics in 2026-27 year. Much can change in the current chaos that is conference realignment, but as of now Sac is not even an affiilate member in the Pac-12 while Southern Utah is.

That's gotta sting.

Ags and Tritons have had a great rivalry in men’s water polo.

Stepping up your athletic program should be an scross-the-board effort. It is not just one or two sports, but all of the sports that would face tougher competition, even in a diluted Pac-X conference. This past weekend Sac's men's cross country team finished 7th of 14 teams in a meet at USF. Their women finished 6th of 13 at the same event. Nothing spectacular there, however those were the best perfomances by Hornet teams over the past weekend. Football is 0-1 after losing to South Dakota State, 20-3, (in a game that was not nearly as close as the score indicated). Volleyball is 0-3 after finishing last in their own tournament. Against three opponents they won a total of two sets. Men's soccer lost to Santa Clara, 3-0, and is currenty 0-3-1. Women's soccer lost to Fresno State, 2-0, but is currently the winningest team at Sac with a 2-3 record. It is early in the season and things can certainly get better. They can't get much worse.

Aggies swept Sac in volleyball tonight, 3-0, (25-21, 25-21, 25-9) at the Saramento State Invitational. Causeway score is UCD 5, CSUS O.

Bruinwoods got in some trouble a few years ago over allegations of sexual harassment. I think they even shut down for one season. The camps are staffed for the most part by college students hired for summer employment.

Was it Bruinwoods at Lake Arrowhead? (https://bruinwoods.ucla.edu )

Bruinwoods is, or was, an alumni family camp run by some component of UCLA, very much like The Lair of the Golden Bear (usually just called The Lair of the Bear, or The Lair,) operated by the California Alumni Association and located near Pinecrest Lake off of Highway 108 east of Sonora. (https://alumni.berkeley.edu/camp-at-the-lair/# )

My family and I attended the Lair several years ago when our kids were very young. At that time someone in the group had to be a member of some alumni association from any of the UC campuses. They now require that at least one camper be a member of the California Alumni Association. It's a pretty funky little place. Aging canvas covers over aging wooden structures. We enjoyed it, though as a friend commented, "Do you notice that by about Wednesday the wives are ready to go home?"

Lair actaully has three camps on the same property: Gold, Blue and Oski. At one time there was an effort to have a couple of weeks where the powers that be encouraged Davis alumni. Not sure that ever took off. However one of my now adult chidlren and I have returned in the last ferw years. There are campers from several UC campuses as well as those who graduated from non-UC schools.

Undaunted I head up with a weeks worth of UCD t-shirts, a UCD flag to attach to the "cabin." and now a sign that reads "Lair of the Mare."

Go Ags!

Sac may have gotten out over their skis with their Pac-12 dreams and their sudden discourteous flight from the Big Sky, but if Sac football withers couldn't the other sports remain in the Big West?

Sac's experience moving basketball games to the Memorial Auditorium fizzled out. Some of that could have been parking and the undesirable location, particularly for night events. Cal Expo is a ways from the CSUS campus. While Cal Expo has parking and is very convenient to freeways it has never been a big draw in the area. The State Fair continues to struggle. The Sac Republic is looking for a better location, though maybe converting the horse racing track to a stadium would benefit soccer also.

Added women's basketball and golf.

Don't think the NCAA allows a 13th game unless it is a bowl game or a playoff game. I suppose you could create a special "bowl" game to be played in West Sacramento.

Looks like you're right:
FCS playing seasons
At the recommendation of the Football Championship Subdivision Oversight Committee, the council adopted expedited legislation to change the first contest date for FCS football, starting in the 2026 season. Moving forward, FCS programs will be able to compete in 12 regular-season games every year, with the regular season starting 13 weeks before the FCS championship selections date. The move provides programs greater scheduling flexibility and eliminates the first contest date exceptions.

Maybe Sac can fill the date with a game against Notre Dame.
