    Hope Sac enjoys the holiday trip to North Dakota.

  • 2023 WEEK 12: CAUSEWAY
    Good day for UC football schools as Davis, UCLA and Cal all won against traditional rivals.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    I doubt "the committee" will care, but the Stanford victory isn't all it's cracked up to be. Stanford is 3-8 overall, 2-7 in the Pac-12 and lost to Cal today, 27-15.
  • Causeway Cup 2023-24
    With today's football victory the Causeway Cup score is UCD 25, CSUS 5.

    Next event is women's basketball, this coming Tuesday, the 21st, in Sacramento.
  • 2023 WEEK 12: CAUSEWAY
    "it's a huge jump to the next level."
    Just an aside:
    It's a big jump from level to level. I remember a guy who played DB on my son's HS team. (A shcool with a very successful athletics program.) The guy was very fast, also ran sprints on the track team. Went on to play football at a HBCU on the east coast. We saw him when he was home for the holidays in what would have been his freshman year. When asked how it was playing at that level, (MEAC), all he could say was "They're FAST!!"
  • 2023 Week 11: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    May be more derisive than intended, (pleasantly so...). "Garcon" literally means "boy."
  • Causeway Cup 2023-24
    In the NCAA Cross Country West Regionals held today in Sacramento the UCD women placed 7th of 39 teams with 180 points while CSUS women placed 24th with 703 points.

    In the men's competition the UCD men placed 19th ot 32 teams with 500 points while CSUS did not place as only four of the five Hornet runners completed the course.

    A congratulations goes out to UCD's Brianna Weidler who placed 6th and SIerra Atkins who placed 9th overall in the women's competition. That's two top ten finishes!

    "Running" (Ha!) Causeway Cup score is now UCD 20, CSUS 5. The next event is football at Davis on the 18th.
  • 2023 Men's Soccer
    Not a great day, or weekend, for the Ags. Other than some success at the Big West Cross Country Championship there were a lot of “L’s” on the scoreboards.
  • Causeway Cup 2023-24
    Aggie men's soccer fell to Sac, 1-0, this evening.

    Cup Score is UCD 10, CSUS 5.

    Next events are men's and women's cross country at the NCAA west regionals on November 10 in Sacramento.
  • 2023 Women's Volleyball
    Volleyball can be such a streaky game. In August I watched Iowa beat Cal Poly, 3-1, at Sac State. Sac then beat Iowa 3-0. Ags beat Sac, 3-1, at Sac. So what happens when Cal Poly, (one of the few teams to lose to Iowa (8-14, 0-10 in the Big Ten.....) comes to Davis? They defeat the Ags, 3-1.
  • Jake Maier Sets CFL Record

    The Stampeders finish the regular season this weekend hosting the division leading Blue Bombers. If they win it will be the franchise's 700th win, a CFL record. They are assured a first round playoff game at B.C., even with a loss. Their current record is 6-11. 6-12 will get you in the CFL playoffs.
  • Doss To Chargers
    Probably a little late for the Canadian league this season. The CFL regular season ends this weekend and playoffs start the following weekend.
  • Doss To Chargers
    At some point rules kick in about just how many times you can be elevated from the practice squad to the full on roster.

    This is why I never signed an NFL contract.
  • Doss To Chargers
    What a life....back to the practice squad: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/keelan-doss-heads-back-to-practice-squad/

    "In his second appearance of the 2023 campaign, Doss played 10 offensive snaps but failed to draw a target. The Chargers will be able to burn one more standard elevation on Doss before they'd have to sign him to the active roster for him to be eligible to suit up."
  • 2023 Men's Water Polo
    And followed the win over San Jose State with a victory over UC Santa Barbara by the same score. Much better than last weekend.
  • 2023 Men's Water Polo
    Good! Avenge that earlier upset loss to the Spartans.
  • New 10,000 seat Basketball Arena to be Built for Nevada
    I’m no doubt biased against Alford. My Iowa roots. He would do well and then falter in the post season.
  • New 10,000 seat Basketball Arena to be Built for Nevada
    I was speaking off the cuff, but turns out I was close to the mark.The artidle says the arena expects to be open in three years, which would put Alford at 7 years. His longest held postition was 8. He has a winning recored everywhere he goes, but he goes a lot of places. He has had problems in the post-season.
