Ags swept softball for the first time in 6 years.

Won it January 29 with a win in gymnastics. It's all sweet icing on the cake from here on out.

Next up, return games/meets in softball on Wednesday and gymnastics on Friday.

Men's tennis picks up five more points with a 5-2 win today. Running score is now 50-5.

Aggie women beat Slack this afternoon, 4-3, in the first of two softball games. Running score is now 45-5 with 30 points still out there. Men's tennis this Saturday and the return softball game next Wednesday.

ESPN website's most recent "Bracketology" has UCI in for the BIg West.

Mentioned in the Bee, too:

Yeah, and you got the nod for posting the score on the day it happened.

Weird that I tried to edit the message as it was posted yesterday, just to save myself from looking any dumber than my kids already think I am, and my attempted edit was blocked as spam. To be honest, most of what I add to this website is probably spam.

Do as you wish, I am not bothered by it being there, and it has started a life of its own.

I have no idea where the above message has been lingering in the cyber-void. I hit "send" on the day of the match, 1-28-17. Maybe I should take my Commodore 64 into the shop for some repair work.

Aggie women defeated Slack in tennis today, 4-3, to bring the cumulative points to 40-5 and guarantees at least a tie in this season's competition. A win or a tie in any of the 10 remaining events gives the cup to the Ags.

My googling led to the same conclusion. All in the wishlist stage for Triton fans.

Now if the Big West accepted Slack and UCSD, but kept Hawai'i maybe we could have UCSD and Hawai'i as travel partners. A weekend in San Diego and Honolulu. Sounds great, but there wouldn't be anytime to enjoy either place.

And what's with the WAC? They have become the foster home of athletic conferences. Home to anyone in need of a league.

Another poster on that same the Slack site thread claims that "the BWC is set to add UCSD this spring and the WAC just added Cal Baptist (CBU) who will start their D1 transition with the WAC in 18-19..."

As the article suggests, some of UND's moves have been influenced by a tiff between UND and NDSU. As I recall, UND was not happy when NDSU moved to D-1....seems a little silly because UND has been a D-1 hockey power for years.

So with the two North Dakota schools resuming regular play in football, will they re-tool the rivalry trophy? It has been some variation on the nickel, which made sense when the teams were the Bison and the Fighting Indigenous Americans...but in these enlightened times, not so much.

On a similar subject, there is chatter on the relatively quiet Slack State boards wondering why they aren't trying to move to the Big West, like UCD and CP-SLO. http://www.bigskyfans.com/hornets/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2613

Slack often does better in winter and spring sports....tennis, gymnastics, baseball and softball, track & field.

To take both women's tennis and gymnastics on back to back days is icing on the cake.

Under the old system, where football, volleyball and basketball were worth 10 points rather than 5, the score would be 62.5-5.

I think this has something to do with the Electoral College.

(I originally had this as 65-5, but the gymnastics points are split. There is a second gymnastics meet on March 3.)

Davis wins the Causeway Cup and it isn't even February yet. Current score is 42.5-5 with 32.5 points still out there.

(I originally had this as 45-5, but the gymnastics points are split. There is a second gymnastics meet on March 3.)

What happened to the troll from UCSB? I think he called himself.

[Edit: My bad, I forgot to add his name....It may be the name, I cannot imagine why anyone would knowingly hang that on himself. Thanks for the save, Zythe.]

Just noticed this was also mentioned yesterday on Assistant Coaches topic. Sorry.

Good luck to Troy. Would have been excited about Taylor or Hawkins at UCD. Glad we got one. Glad the other is out of the Big Sky for awhile.

Think Woody Hayes....nobody at The Ohio State University did a thing until he stepped on the field and punched a player running down the sideline.

Or some of the stories about Bobby Knight.

Saban is a first class jerk, Kiffin is right in there. Switched numbers for players during a game, refused to let opponents practice in the Coliseum, played around with air pressure in footballs before the Patriots...

Apparently 24-7 over Washington is not enough and Saban lets Kiffin go this morning with one game to go in the season.

I agree with you 100%.

On another note...hard to pick sides in an argument between Saban and Kiffin. Kind of like the 2016 elections. And what kind of coaching staff argues, or hands out old fashioned a$$-chewings, on the sidelines during a game and then makes light of it. Down the road a lot of these Alabama players will make some money playing on Sundays, but it will be interesting to see where they are when playing football is behind them. Will they work with families and co-workers? Or will they figure winning is the only important thing, and winning by a lot is better than winning by a little, and that good ol' fashioned a$$-chewings are proper conflict resolution?
