  • What happened to the Carrell brothers at Oklahoma?
    I did a little googling. Neither show up as letter winners in their media guide. Looks like Zach graduated and is working on MBA at Baylor; brother Luke pitched at Northwest Florida State (JC) in 22-23.
  • 2024 Week 1: UC Davis @ UC Berkeley
    there is also the $10M payment from UCLA that the regents decided
  • Tim Plough Named New UC Davis Head Football Coach
    he’s in town. Up to couple weeks back he was still working in the department, including mentoring some of the younger coaches. I think the assignment is over with the end of the academic year.
  • Tim Plough Named New UC Davis Head Football Coach
    its critical that Plough gets the best out of the QB position this year. We'll need a QB that's at the top level of the Big Sky to make a run through that late season gaunlet.

    Looks like Paul Shelton is back as OC according to social media release. He must have waited for the high school year to complete before returning - explains the delayed announcement

    Axel Eason is the son of former Aggie Bo Eason
  • 2024 Baseball Schedule
    I don’t follow baseball as closely as some on the boards - occasionally checking the stories in the website. After a second win over UCR last night, they moved to 27-25 with a final game vs UCR followed by home series vs bottom-of-the-conference Bakersfield to follow. Seems like a winning record is well within reach (a 30-win season would be a stretch). Considering where things were a couple years back, that seems like a big turnaround.

    Well…..that’s good news.

    As I said before, I’m pretty sure Rocek is enrolled and will be back also
  • Portal Watch (2024)
    it’s great news. I thought TY really matured last year on the court. He brought a toughness to the team, but never lost his composure.
  • Portal Watch (2024)
    that’s what I’ve heard from someone I consider very reliable. Also, that Rocek has enrolled in a grad program and will be back. Not etched in stone, but I believe both will be back
  • Portal Watch (2024)
    I believe two big positives coming.
  • Seattle and Grand Canyon are Joining the West Coast Conference
    I find it hard to believe this is driven by money!!!!
  • Seattle and Grand Canyon are Joining the West Coast Conference
    Seattle makes sense; private, religious institution like the other WCAC schools (i remember them being in a conference decades ago with SMC, USF). Grand Canyon is a little bit of an outlier. For-profit school with a very large fraction of online and grad students. Some controversy about their grad programs. Critics refer to it as a diploma mill.

    They make alot of money and seem willing to spend alot on basketball to gain exposure.
  • Portal Watch (2024)
    I’ve searched on that and can’t figure out the answer. I know for football, May 1 seemed to be the magic date that transfers were no longer allowed.

    If I read things correct, may 1 was the deadline to ENTER the portal. You can actually transfer up to fall unless you declare inactive. Example : we signed Drew Carter last year in July.

    For football, May 1 was the last day you could transfer - at least that was the message from Plough when he declared it Lan Larison day (he was officially staying).
  • Finally, a Business Major
    Plough mentioned this on a football alumni zoom the other night as a BIG DEAL for transfers. Helped them land a couple FBS guys for the fall. Not sure how much influence athletes and transfer portal had on Mrak, but it’s a welcome addition in the new recruiting landscape
  • Causeway Cup 2023-24
    when we lost in basketball and finished preseason with a couple other clunkers, I was really worried about the team. Boy, did they turn things around
  • Causeway Cup 2023-24
    still listed on department website. It shows 59.18-30.84. Really would have been lopsided without the men’s basketball brain fart
  • Transfer Portal 2024
    that sucks for Poly, especially this late. Maybe spring practice left him lower on the depth chart than starter? He didn’t impress last season

    comments I saw on Facebook on Scott marsh’s post about it, made it sound non-voluntary. His wife had a comment about the column containing

    I think he is still writing his column, just not working the sports anymore
