After three days of bad weather the Aggie men's golf team hung on to edge Sac by a single stroke in the El Macero "Classic." Davis finished 8th of 19 teams with 893 strokes and Sac tied for 9th with 894. Causeway score, by my count, is UCD 51.68, CSUS 16.67.

Next scheduled event is women's tennis in Davis this coming Thursday, the 16th.

Losing UCD, UCSD and UCSB, but picking up Cal Baptist, leaves Big West men's water polo with four teams, and no NCAA auto-bid.

A little different for women's water polo. Lose UCD and gain Cal Baptist. Not sure what if anything wills happening to UCSD, UCSB and Hawai'i since neither the MWC nor the WCC currenlty sponsor women's water polo.

The women's tennis match scheduled for April 4th has been rescheduled to Thursday, April 16th,

Next scheduled competition between the schools is April 10th through 12th when the men's golf teams will compete in the El Macero Classic.

You young whippersnappers! I remember getting up early and watching Project Mercury, Gemini and Apollo launches...and the first Apollo lunar landing. Got the same thrills and awe yesterday....

If I recall, always a big "if" at my age.....A couple of years ago there was some announcment about redesigning the turf at Sochorfield.

Not the first year the ucdavisaggies.com site has played an April Fool's joke.

I got about 2/3 of the way through , OK maybe 3/4, before I caught on....

NDSU could have moved to FBS years ago. Based on performance they could have been in the Big 12 or Big Ten....The Bison often beat teams in those conferences.

CSUS softball defeated the Ags this afternoon in Sacramento by a score of 11-4. With the win Sac swept the season series in softball. This thankfully concludes the winter quarter Causeway calendar, I think Ags went 5-5 in the quarter. Causeway score is now UCD 49.18, CSUS 16.67.

Next scheduled event is women’s tennis in Davis on April 4th.

I think the August game at Eastern Michigan is a conference game.

The joys of MAC scheduling: Oct. 30 game against Kent State is a Friday game. Then against Toledo five days later for a Wednesday game followed by another Wednesday game the following week at Central Michigan.

It doesn't count in the official (HA!) Causeway Cup but UCD gymnastics finished in third place in the MPSF championships with 193.350 points, behind second place CSUS who had 193.400 oints. Southern Utah was first and Alaska Anchorage fourth.

Gymnastics will move to the Mountain West next season.

UCD beach volleyball has been struggling this season, but they defeated CSUS today, 3-2, in the Big West Challenge at Long Beach. This is the second win over the Hornets this year. Causeway Score, I think, is UCD 49.18, CSUS 14.17.

Next scheduled competition is softball this coming Tuesday at Sacramento.

UCD women’s golf finished in 4th place of 14 teams at the Julie Inkster Invitational with a total of 892 strokes. Sac finished in 6th place with 897 strokes.

Causeway score is now UCD 47.51, CSUS 14.17.

Next scheduled competition between the schools is in beach volleyball on Saturday, March 21 at the Big West Challenge in Long Beach.

Thanksgiving weekend in Hawai'i isn't a bad way to end the season.

CSUS women defeated UCD in a gymnastics meet in Davis this afternoon by a score of 194.175 - 192.550. Running Causeway Cup score is now UCD 45.84, CSUS 14.17.

Next event is tomorrow and Tuesday, March 9-10 as the women's golf teams compete at the Julie Inskter Invitational to be played in San Francisco and hosted by San Jose State.

Any discussion abougt the Causeway Cup begins with the realization that as we get into the "Olympic" or "Non-revenue" sports, it is not clear which events are included. Beach volleyball is an example. UCD and CSUS are scheduled to meet three times this year. The UCD site only lists two of those meetings. Today the teams met in Berkeley in the "Battle for the Bay." UCD defeated Sac, 3-2. Assuming this event counts the running Causeway Cup score is UCD 45.84, CSUS 11.67. If that passes official review then once again UCD has won the cup.

Next scheduled event is a gymnastics meet in Davis on March 8.

UCD defeated Sac in women's golf over the last two days at the Causeway Invitational at Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento. UCD finished 2nd of ten teams with 868 strokes. Sac was one place and one stroke behind.

Running causeway score is now UCD 44.17, CSUS 11.67. Scoring is somewhat murky as the UCD site lists two events in which both schools are competing, however the schools' schedules list three events.

Which leads to the next competition, maybe. Schedule for both schools say their beach volleyball teams will meet this coming Friday, February 27th, at the Battle for the Bay in Berkeley. UCD's Causeway site does not mention the meet. As noted, CSUS has given up posting anything suggesting a Causeway Cup competition.

I'll try to cut & paste later today, but as agalum noted, pretty much sums up our comments over the past months.

Though with the expanded play-off system and the number of teams or players that decline to play in the other bowls, I think some of those college bowl games are fading away. I think the Los Angeles Bowl announced that last year was their last game. Someone, somewhere may try to fill the void, but college bowls may be a dying event.

Which may explain why the CSUS athletic website no longer covers it.
