Seems strange that UCD and Fresno State did not compete against each other in equestrian this season.

This is all a "fling the pasta against the wall and see what sticks" sort of scoring. The page on the UCD Athletic website still does not include men's cross country or women's golf. The gymnastics teams competed four times, but the page only includes three (though since the Ags swept the season, that really doesn't matter.)

There are random 1/100ths of points floating around when teams compete three times and the winner gets 1.67 points, creating a possibility of a team winning all three meetings and being awarded an extra .01 point.

In any event, IF women's golf is included, the news today out of the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic (in Arizona) is not good for Davis. Final results are CSUS, 1st of 20 teams, 885 strokes - UCD 12th of 20, 921.

My 'your guess is as good as mine' tally is UCD 42.51, CSUS 17.51. That includes 5 ppoints for the cross country win, 1.67 for a women's golf win and 3.34 to Sac for two women's golf wins.

Next scheduled event is baseball, April 11th, in Davis.

I "googled" the assoc. professor. He is apparently a very prominent plastic surgeon.

(That may mean more in Southern California.)

AND UCLA was still paying Jim Mora in 2021, who was released after the 2017 season.

I can't confirm this, but I heard that at one time USC was paying three head coaches...Kiffin, Sarkisian and Helton. ANd Ogeron had been an interim head coach in there at least once.

The most recent figures compiled by transparentcalifornia.com are for 2021. That site lists the top 5 employees and their compensation (total pay & benefits) for the University of California system as:
Charles Kelley (Head footbball coach, UCLA) $5,775,150
Justin Wilcox (Head football coach, Cal) $3,989,491
Michael Cronini (Head basketball coach, UCLA) $3,804,308
Jason Roostaeian (Assoc. Clinical Professor, UCLA School of Medicine) $3,426,298
James Mora (Former head football coach, UCLA) $3,104,975

UCD swept Sac in beach volleyball today, 5-0, at the Big West Challenge in San Luis Obispo.

Now, I will confess that in my advancing years I screwed up the math in my unofficial running tally for the moribund Causeway Cup. I won't go into the details, but as recalculated I have the score as UCD 42.51, CSUS 15.84.

I believe the next meeting between the schools is in women's golf as both teams are entered in the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic on April 3-4. That of course is held in Maricopa, Wyoming, er, Arizona.

Gymnastic from Berkeley: UCD 3rd of 4, 196.425 - CSUS 4th of 4, 194.875

Running (very unofficial) cup score: UCD 40.16, CSUS 15.16.

Next event is the Big West Challenge in beach volleyball, to be held the weekend of March 25-26 in San Luis Obispo. The Aggies and Hornets are scheduled to meet on Saturday afternoon.

Vandy lost to Texas A&M in the semis.

Baseball score from Sac: CSUS 9, UCD 6
Estimated Running Causeway Cup Score: UCD 38.91, CSUS 15.16

Next meeting is a quadruple gymnastics meet along with Cal and Arizona to be held at Berkeley on March 12th.

TIed at 5 in the middle of the 5th.

or why Arkansas-Little Rock is in the PAC 12.

Next thing you know UCLA and USC will be in the Big 10.

It would make sense for CBU to be in the PAC 12. Cal Poly and CSUBakersfield are. CBU beat Bakersfield in a dual meet this season.

Sac website reporting that Tuesday's game has been moved to Sac due to unplayable field conditions at Davis.

Regarding the scheduling: I wonder if the teams scheduled this game some time last week just in case weekend games got rained out. Once it became apparent the weekend games would be played, they could cancel the Monday game.

Have a family relative involved in high school baseball in the Sacramento area. He says they are scrambling to play games. Even if the skies cooperate the ground is still too wet.

Lancers had only one first round win (who lost in the second round) and finished in last place (13th) in the Big 12 Conference wrestling tournament this past weekend.

They went 3-12 overall and 1-6 in conference in dual meets this season.

As noted on a baseball thread, the baseball schedule has changed yet again. Monday's game at Sacramento has been canceled. The Tuesday game in Davis is still on as scheduled and the April 11th game has been moved back to Sacramento..

Another quirk: Sac has women's rowing as a varstiy team. Davis has rowing at the club sport level. The CSUS schedule lists a May 6 competition against UC Davis. The UC Davis Rowing Club confirms that.

Today's softball score: UCD 7, CSUS 4.

How long has it been since we've swept softball?

Causeway score: UCD 38.91, CSUS 13.83.

Gymnastic from Sac: UCD 2nd of 4, 196.475 - CSUS 4th of 4, 195.450

Running (very unofficial) cup score: UCD 36.33, CSUS 13.83

Beach volleyball today in Santa Cruz.
Note: The Ags and Hornets did not meet in the tournament....which means they meet three times this season rather than four, and each meeting would be worth 1.33 points rather than 1.25, so the Causeway score should be UCD 36.41, CSUS 13.83.

The weather permitted as the Aggie women defeated Sac, 3-2, in beach volleyball this afternoon. Earlier Davis swept UOP, 5-0.

Running score is, I think, UCD 35.08, CSUS 13.83.

There are several competitions between the schools this coming weekend:

Friday: Gymnastics at a quadrangle meet at Sacramento with Southern Utah, San Jose State, Sac and UCD.

Saturday: Both teams are scheduled to compete in beach volleyball at the Big West Coast Tournament in Santa Cruz. The schools' schedules differ on whether the teams will play each other.

Sunday: The softball teams are scheduled to compete in the Capitol Classic to be held at both schools over the weekend. Other entries are Alabama State, Sienna, Southern Utah, and St. Mary's. Ags and Hornets are scheduled to play each other on Sunday in Davis.

Monday and Tuesday: The baseball teams meet for two games in two days with Sac hosting the Monday game and Davis hosting the Tuesday contest.

I assume the recent cancellation of games freed up some room on the team schedules, and gave the teams some incentive to get another early season game in. A Monday game? Followed by a Tuesday game in a home-and-away, (or I should say away-and-home) match up?

Again, weather permitting.

Wet weather and a wetter course resulted in the reduction of the Causeway Inivtational to a single round. Sac finished 4th of 13 with a score of 297, six strokes ahead of the Ags who finished 7th with a total score of 303.

In good news Aggie sophomore Abby Leighton was the overall medalist at the event.

Running score, such as it is, appears to be UCD 33.83, CSUS13.83.

Next up is beach volleyball tomorrow, March 1, at Davis. That match will be preceded by a UCD match against UOP.

Weather permitting of course.

In other "Causeway" news the teams have added a fourth baseball game on March 6th to be played at Sac. The April 11th game, previously scheduled at Sac, is now scheduled to be played at Davis.

I almost hesitate to write at all anymore, however the UCD gymnastics team defeated Sac 196.750 to 194.625 in a dual meet in Davis this afternoon.

Again with conservative scoring the running score is now UCD 33.83, CSUS 12.5.

Next event is men's tennis on February 25th in Sacramento.

EDIT:(Feb. 25, 2023): I recorded the date for the men's tennis match as February 25th. The UCD Causeway page has it as February 15th. The golf page for both schools has the date as April 12th. At this point it appears to be April 12th, at Sacramento.

As of now, the women's golf schedule for both schools says they will each be competing in the Causeway Invitiational to be held the coming Monday and Tuesday, February 27th-28, at the Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento. Safe bet that the weather may have something to say about that.
