More on Big West turning down UCSD, at least for now:

Ags win first of two baseball games. Running score is now 57.5 to 5. Next up is a return baseball game a week from today.

This whole coaching carousel seems to be a game where schools and coaches are all willing participants. The coach at Florida Gulf Coast seems to have his name in every opening in the country, but says he is happy there and not looking elsewhere. Coaches deny any interest in an opening and the next thing you know they are hiring assistants at the new job.

New Mexico thinks big when it comes to basketball. Looking at coaches from Indiana, Nebraska....They lured Alford away from Iowa, (though at that point I don't think it took much for him to go.) Hard to think they would look at the Big West.

And Georgia Tech in turn falls to Michigan in the WNIT final.

I'm betting that whatever the Junior University can offer will more than make up for any interruption in either of the Goulds' UC retirement plans.

WSU falls to Georgia Tech in the semis. GT will play Michigan on Saturday for the WNIT championship.

If Washington State were to win the WNIT, they still would not have a winning record on the season.

Washington State on to the semi-finals with a 74-66 road victory over Iowa.

Fingers crossed.

Cal promotes ass't Wyking Jones to head coach.

IF I recall correctly, (always a big IF anymore,) when the Ags made the D-II Elite Eight tourney some players actually took exams on the road. Williams made some comment in a news story about adding being an exam proctor to his duties as a head coach.

Probably don't do that these days at the big "one-and-done" programs.

Congratulations. Three games into a national tournament, all on the road, all against bigger programs. Traveling to the Palouse during finals week, coming back strong and fighting to the end. ....Lots to be proud of. Great future for this team.

Go Ags.

A miracle...

I think Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN are all laughing at Californiagoldenblogs for the quality of their reporting.

That aside, IF the comments about the internal misworkings of the Cal athletic department are accurate, Cal is a mess and it's no wonder they have trouble with hiring and retaining coaches.

Unnattributed blog reports, but this one says Musselman is in, and there is a lot of turmoil in the athletic department at the Mother Campus.

Bee has doubled their coverage of the women's participation in the WNIT. This morning they have, again in the fine print, a listing of tomorrow's games and at the end is UCD at WSU.

They also devote about two column inches to a bit on the local minor league soccer team having to cancel a match.

I think Les is going to be a guest on KHTK 1140 tomorrow, Wednesday, at noon.

Had a family member who went to St. Mary's and am aware that the Bears look down on that little college in their backyard. They just might look at a place like that like England looked at the colonies 250 years ago.
