  • 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.
  • 18-19 Roster
    Saw him on campus today.
  • What a rally!!! Aggie Volleyball at University of Arizona (?)
    My apologies. False alarm.

    It is, in fact, the New Mexico State Aggies. The full screen of the rally clearly shows NMSU as the opponent on the score tracker.

    Please resume your regularly scheduled programming.
  • BJ Shaw
    Thank you for sharing. Nice detective work.

    He may not pay dividends immediately, but I believe this kind has all the tools to be a solid contributor.
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    I've seen him on the bench in the same clothes as the redshirts.
  • MBB 7 pm Thursday: Aggies (16-9 & 7-4) @ Cal Poly (8-17 & 3-8)
    I agree that Scott Marsh is a pro. Does a GREAT job.
  • MBB 7 pm Thursday: Aggies (16-9 & 7-4) @ Cal Poly (8-17 & 3-8)
    Great win. To fight like that through 3 OTs on the road was nothing short of admirable. So proud of those guys.

    The streaming issue is inexcusable. The BW needs to get their act together. One of the best broadcast signals this year was our roadie at Utah Valley. Say it with me . . . Utah. Valley. (insert judgemental head shaking and an embarrassed sigh). UVU has it dialed in and UC Davis and Cal Poly don't!?!? C'mon man....
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    I have no idea what the standard protocol for this sort of thing is, nor do I (like everyone else) have any real idea of what specific infraction Chima committed. BUT, this radio silence from Athletics is extremely frustrating. I understand that campus "needs to investigate" but a week should have been plenty of time given the impact the delay causes. We deserve better than silence.

  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    you are correct. my apologies. i wasn't paying proper attention.
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    Chima tweets lyrics every Wednesday by a hip hop artist named J Cole. I don't think there is any backstory to that line.
  • MBB 5 pm Saturday Game 2 of DH: Cal Poly (6-14 & 1-5) @ the Aggies (13-7 & 4-2)
    Thanks BGA. I was hoping it was the flu - let him fully rest and recover AND keep him away from the team. Either way, I hope to see him soon.
  • MBB 5 pm Saturday Game 2 of DH: Cal Poly (6-14 & 1-5) @ the Aggies (13-7 & 4-2)
    Does anyone have any intel on Del Jackson? He's been m.i.a. for the last few games.
  • Doss to NFL or not?
    Nothing has been announced. Most social media references I've seen insinuate that he's coming back - ie. labeling him a "junior"... waxing about how good the Ags will be with both Jake and Keelan together again... etc. Nothing concrete, however.
  • UC Davis Dream Team Debate
    PGs - Baranco, Graham, Shorts. If you could go to a lab and build a prototypical Aggie PG its Gordon Baranco. Tough, smart, relentless worker. The epitome of Aggie Pride.
    Combos - Hawkins, Lamar, Neumayr (Preston could BALL. Perhaps the smartest Aggie BB player I ever watched play. So crafty, so much court awareness, relentless effort.)
    SGs - Sypkens (just an assassin from distance - the record books prove it), Avery Johnson (perhaps the most athletic and cosistently reliable defender to wear an Aggie uniform)
    Forwards - Chima, Payne (so skilled, high BB IQ), Ritchart ("new school forward" - big who can stretch the floor), Ryan Moore (sooo athletic), Caligari (classic big - big, strong, bruiser, but still very graceful with his play), Josh Fox (sentimental choice - played so much bigger than his 6'6" size. Island strong. GREAT leader.)

    Center - The only true center I have is Monson. Quietly highly productive on the offensive end, productive rebounder, excellent FT shooter. This would have been JT's by a long shot had he not had two major knee injuries. Prior to the ACLs failing, JT's potential was sky high. Despite those difficulties, JT will hold a special place in Aggie lore - total workhorse who gave every ounce he had.

    Honorable Mention - Cox, Rabadeaux, Juilerat (sp? sorry), Harden, Ross, Thomas, Fowzi, Familetti (just a thief on D),

    Special Honorable Mention - Leon Richardson, who passed away mid-game. Ham and the other coach, of course, agreed to call the game right then and there. Watched it happen. Tragic.
  • Cutts out as HC at UCR


    "Okaaaaaaay!!" when assistant coach Littlejohn was announced.

    I salute you, sir. :D
