Agreed. I saw a game at the Nest this year, the Hornets were well balanced & played solid D, and Katz' interaction with players was very positive.

My sources say AD Orr & the college President want a big name. Ha!

The only possibility I can think of is if they entice UOPs coach - Damon Stoudemire - to move North. He graduates 4-5, including his dominant 6'5" guard.

It seems like the Hornet team which is imploding is women's basketball. Four players left the team early, and the HC's record appears on a downward trajectory.

Sac Bee will follow up.

Solid win, 45% shooting from 3. Silly foul by LB in the corner w 1.1 seconds left. Then on the FT rebound, refs originally had .1 seconds left... but then they upped it back up to .8 seconds.

Can someone explain why Larry was saying beach ball?

Millenial change. According to one link, LBSU students say the campus was built upon the site of a native people, and that California encouraged gold miners to enslave / kill indigenous people. Hence, the change. Not sure if such alleged practices happened or were rare, common, or hyperbole.

OK, odd question... what does beach ball mean, imply?

I thought Sharks are their new mascot?

We're San Jose State's second game, then they go to Penn State.

QB Josh Love graduated. They have 2 sophomore QBs, 3 freshmen, & graduate transfer Starkel from Arkansas. Starkel has to be the favorite, & QB Nash was used as Brennan's "curveball" last year.

33 signees & PWOs?

Did you see Audwin Thomas play? Was his game outside, or everywhere?

Awesome. What was the Hex?

I heard Ham used a 2 platoon system one year w Baranco?

This class is getting bigger & bigger. There must be some departures.

Is all of this new size coincidental? Or did DC Tucker prefer smaller, more mobile DL? Could many of these signees be his recruits?

I love these stories, love Ham stories, Gordie Baranco ... who stands out? What games stand out?

I'm surmising Ham was still intense, younger, and I've heard students who didn't make the main gym followed games on a video stream in Lower Hickey.??

I met a guy in Rec Hall DII era who just took photos of Ham & his towel.

Were these the Hickey Gym days? Was it often full, wild?

Did you see Mike Lein & Audwin Thomas play?

I didn't see HS students shoved on this tape, but still, something the BW Commissioner probably doesn't want to see repeated at the BW Tourney.

BTW, what is the UCSB fan site?

A 70-second video of the game, and ending.

Santa Barbara News Press describes a different ending:

"Sparks even flared after the final buzzer. UC Davis’ Joe Mooney pushed Heidegger from behind and the Gauchos’ Brandon Cyrus returned the favor to the Aggies’ guard. Mooney also kicked some water bottles and pushed a fan on his way to the locker room."

"Aggies’ coach Jim Les also yelled at Pasternack during the handshake line, setting off a few more shoves between players."

" “I think emotions fly,” Pasternack said. “It’s a competitive sport. But I’m not really sure (what was being said)."

If true, not good.

I was in downtown SJ yesterday, and saw the Spartans run the stadium stairs 2x.

So removing us from the schedule cost $C about $2.6 Million? Maybe we should up our FBS cancellation fee.

UNLV about equal - on paper - to UNR & the Spartans.

Another option: Book another FBS and double the take.

Since Plough ran the offense & Tucker the defense, doesn't Hawk serve more like a manager?
