Next broadcast will feature a NASA astronaut. Posts either today or tomorrow. Very entertaining

on a football note, there is a zoom call with Hawkins for season ticket holders today. Dan is always entertaining. I’m sure much will be centered on virus impact on the players’ lives now. Probably not much speculation on fall.

the one coming up with Hawkins? I plan to attend

remember that the home stands are closed in preparation of an athletic performance center so capacity is around 17000. The normal turnout of 13k or so will be more intimate

not if you want to be eligible-> minimum progress toward major as well as units

First guy to play in 3 decades? He’s the Minnie Miñoso of FCS!

If football is cancelled, will Kevin Thomson come back for year 7? Hard to stay eligible that long!

Another Hawk cast up today. Looks like nearly 2 hours. These are very interesting; guests have been completely outside the football world. I’ll listen on my walks the next couple days. Davis professor, Holocaust survivor. Not your basic coach’s show!

I’ll send mine in as soon as I see my first pension check on May 1. I already made a sizable dent in my team Aggie contribution on give day

thats odd about Fullerton. I figured all the CSU’s and UC’s would be jointly announced based on state government input. What if they end up being the only Big West school to cancel?

As for the Big Sky, I figure the 5 western schools will act the same; as for the mountain states, who knows.

I wonder when the program will announce Anigwe; Pehka was announced today

I subscribed during football so I could download the coach’s show and occasional countdown to kickoff. Listen to the EVO broadcasts just to hear what people’s experiences have been. Hawk’s hour long podcast with the mountain climbing couple was great. Interesting and some tidbits that we can use during this period. Marsh’s interviews were both good. Hawk said he has some more interesting people lined up. Should be good entertainment. He’s very passionate about this

We’ve been at our best when we had a solid post player (Adenrele, Goode) who were very good team defenders, solid rebounders, could pass and score when fed on the pick and roll. The way we defend, with the hard double team up high and rolling back into the key, really puts a premium on a big with good footwork. Hope we found a couple

Right now, way too little data to make long term predictions.

In the zoom call I ‘attended’, I thought I heard Les say something about the NLI period which kicked off last Wednesday was extended to August. Not sure what that meant. Maybe just that signing will be coming more slowly this year. I don’t follow it outside of Davis, so I’m not sure if there has been a dearth of announcements.

By the way, there is a picnic weekend sale at the online bookstore. 30% off, free shipping on order over $75. I picked up a couple things with the new logo. There’s some steals on shirts with limited sizes (under $10)

that’s a good way to do it; wish I would have thought of that!

I suspect the Challanges are fulfilled even if the required donor number isn’t met.

Think how much we’ll appreciate Picnic Day next year!

I suspect the numbers will be significantly down ; lots of distractions. Of course, football numbers have never been that great in the past. Besides football there are emergency funds for students and student-athletes.
