  • The Home Stretch
    I second your observation about not seeing what precipitated the tech. Frankly, the officiating last night was atrocious. And the ref that T'd Les up seemed to be having a particularly bad game. IMHO, refs are human . . . so, I'll give them each 1 lame call a game - or, basically, 3 bad calls by the crew. But the crew last night had 7 by my count. That kind of performance really impacts a game, and that is just inexcusable. And . . . Les' tech amounts to the winning margin in the end. And I am sure that Coach knows it. And is sick to death about it. GO AGS!
  • MBB: UC Santa Barbara (16-8, 5-4) at UCD (10-15, 4-5) 7 pm Thursday, February 13th
    This . . . "i thought we thoroughly outcoached them last night." Big facts.
  • 2020 Recruiting List
    With how dynamic our offense is (when we are healthy, of course), makes me wonder if there is an "H" back wrinkle we may see next year or the year after. Grassmann fits the mold, imho.
  • Aggie Back Field
    I rattled my sources who share that TT is likely finishing his education here. The loss of his father and his injury robbed him of his enthusiasm for football. Don't know exactly what the injury was, but I'm told that it simply made him tentative when he ran and "afraid of contact".

    Aside from that . . . Dixon was highly sought after during the previous recruiting cycle. I thought he was going to be an Aggie, for sure. Good kid, solid character, impressive academics - all the right ingredients for an Aggie. Opting for Fresno State was, in my humble opinion, a little surprising given all those items mentioned. Nevertheless, glad he will be here. I think the dude brings a LOT to the table for the RB corp.

  • Gunrock Pub popular, active, or not?
    In '91 and '92, The Pub (at the Silo) was the place to be on Fridays from noon until around 4/4:30; especially during Spring Qtr. Then stagger home . . . grab power nap . . . quick shower then head to B's for happy hour and beyond . . . then finish off the night at The Paragon singing (poorly) along to Gary Lee Yoder and Friends.

    Man I miss those days. Good times.

    Rogers Printup is wearing a cast on his wrist and forearm (seen on social media posts). It's only September so I assume its early enough that it won't impact his senior season. But . . . hate to see anything that derails his preparation. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery, Rogers!
  • Mahalia White returns
    So great to read this. Can I get a big "AGGIE PRIDE" for Mahalia from the congregation?
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    This is a shame, "The group referred to as the “Band-Uh” will no longer exist."

    Minus the alleged misconduct and the associated bad press, I hate losing something that is a very real part of the fabric of our campus - and one of the "old" things that today's undergraduate likes as well. Many alumni that I have met over the years often speak reverently about the Band-Uh. Essentially, when we compare notes . . . and experiences with UC Davis . . . the love of the Band-Uh was a relative constant. Some people lived in the domes (I didn't), some people didn't go greek (I did), some drove for Unitrans or worked at the Coffee House (not me), . . . but we all love the Band-Uh. They are Aggies. Today they might play the cymbals with a goofy hat; but tomorrow they may be your orthopedic surgeon - and that's life as an Aggie. I just hate to see some of our old and valued campus elements dissolve.
  • The Fate of the Grad
    :lol: True. "ample parking" was generous. So, there's parking , and we'll leave it at that. "Ample" . . . LOL!!
  • The Fate of the Grad
    Wonder if they considered relocating to the Whole Foods location at The Commons. Big space . . . has kitchen facilities . . . ample parking . . . easy draw for the dance/party crowd since its downtown . . .

    Just spitballin', but seems like an ideal fit.
  • MBB Signs 3 New Players
    Interesting, Mikey Henn appears to be on the move again after leaving UC Davis for Cal Baptist. I guess CBU didn't work out either. Hmmmm....

    And Gio Nelson has landed at a JUCO in Yuma Arizona (Arizona Western, I think?)
  • ESPNU returns to campus on 2/28
    Listened to Coach Les on the Napear show.

    Started with the usual stuff - "peaking at the right time," . . . "Irvine is a good team," . . . the usual very high praise for UC Davis as an institution . . . loves getting the opportunity to display all of that positivity to a nationwide audience (via the ESPN game) . . . etc.

    Napear brought up the Officer Corona shooting and asked Jim to reflect on that tragedy from a University perspective. Heartfelt comments from Coach Les. "What Davis showed me . . . adversity brought the community together."

    Grant, nor Doug Christie, brought up TJ's health. And Jim didn't offer it up on his own.
  • Week 11: UC Davis @ Eastern Washington
    If I find out, I’ll let you know. After I buy one, of course. That jacket is NICE.
  • MBB 11/6: San Francisco @ UCD
    Is that official that Del Jackson is "gone"? He was in the stands last night.
