No Band-uh, no students, no Grad, no Aggie Hosts ... who are we, Cal State East Bay?

Watch party? Where?

Strengths? Engineering.

I wonder if he lives near Bill Gates?

Likely a PR move needed for recruits, alums, fans.

Les prefers small guys.

JC transfer linebacker Scharetg with 4 tackles and our lone sack, and transfer LB Cole Hansen also with 3 tackles last Saturday. We need them.

Will we get deeper into our roster this Saturday?

See some new WRs beyond Babb? TE Frosh Thorpe? Orlando Ornelas? New RBs? Facey?

Will Rodriguez or Brock Johnson get extended time at QB?

How about coveted recruits DBs Harlston or Magdalena? LB Mouisset?

They rise up again.

Amadi 8 tackles.
King 7.
Eaton 5.
Venable 4.
Perryman 3.

New JC transfer Scharetg with 4 and our lone sack. Transfer Cole Hansen also with 3 tackles. (Both linebackers.)

Out for the year is our understanding.

LA Times, excellent article

Lynn Swann’s exit allows USC to start cleaning house in the athletic department

By Bill Plaschke

"...This was Folt smartly beginning a massive overhaul of a Trojans athletic department that has become a national embarrassment. This was the new boss commencing a cleansing of the nation’s only university athletic department recently involved in the two announced FBI probes into college sports."

"There was Tony Bland, former USC assistant basketball coach, pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery in the college hoops scandal. Then there was Donna Heinel, former senior associate athletic director, allegedly accepting $1.3 million in bribes in the college admissions scandal...."

"All of this was just in the last year, all while the USC football team was finishing with its first losing season in 19 years, everyone led by Swann, who had such a distant connection to his job that in the middle of the scandals he was seen at a sports memorabilia convention in Virginia signing autographs for money."

"Swann needed to go. He should have been gone by now. Given his close ties to the deep-pocketed USC boosters who have been given free rein to run the joint, it took a fresh new voice to finally make that call. *** Folt admirably used that voice in a statement that was even louder when she appointed Swann’s interim successor. ***

"It isn’t longtime shadow athletic director Steve Lopes, the good soldier who has diligently run the department for years. It is Dave Roberts, a USC special advisor to the president and the vice chair of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions. This sends the message that Folt is intent on bypassing tradition and completely reshaping Trojans athletics from the outside. Her announced search committee for the new athletic director is filled with academics and business leaders who are also not connected to the department. These are all good things...."

I thought the band was suspended?

Koski from Danville, I don't think Gould / Daft made an offer.

They'll hire a Trojan or business Titan. Completely different world there.

Joshua Kelly recouping from an injury, seeing some reps, but UCLA still succumbs.

"UCLA’s unbeaten record against San Diego State is gone after the Bruins lost 23-14 at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, blemishing their previous 21-0-1 record in the series."

Fabulous idea. Independent Maverick CAMB plays for alumni, fans, in comfortable garb.

From the stories I've heard, I don't think that departed alum Warren Mooney would agree with Dunning. (Mooney once wrote a big check for new band uni's.)

The hat story is now more absurd. For the record, I only mentioned the two young ladies who have apparently been quite vocal, being interviewed by local TV and print outlets.

The new culture of a campus now about or over 60% female?... Female wrestlers sued the university, supportive coaches and administrators.

Wow. No need to move 3,000 miles. Chucky's in loove.

Keelan - get a good accountant!

Emma Seijas, a former section leader, recounted her example of 'hazing'.

A band march was conducted for newbies, and at the end their hat was stomped on as a bonding ritual.

https://youtu.be/wvQtHD_kIr8

Reddit user clijster : "...Did I mention that band officers, many of whom attend parties, are mandated reporters of hazing, and take that role seriously? I can state with supreme confidence that the Aggie band in this day and age doesn't haze anyone ever. Anything that could even slightly be construed as hazing would get a dozen people suspended or expelled on the spot, as they should be."

"... to put it a bit bluntly, many of the changes being called for were made decades ago, in an era when hazing was a real problem for the band."

https://www.reddit.com/r/UCDavis/comments/ba0z3t/accusations_of_hazing_assault_general_misconduct/

ewdite: "Lol what is this article? Someone needs to clarify to the author the difference between team building and hazing."

So they played Hardball, and not democratic.

Is Ms. Christina Pena the person with the main agenda, who also reportedly is doxxing people, etc.? She referred to herself in one article as a "victim", yet in another said nothing happened (beyond someone allegedly saying her friend "should die"). Her stated goal was an investigation.

For the record, I can understand wanting to end alumni band members partying with undergrads. (Supposedly already curtailed.) I could understand wanting an end to "naked hot tub". Etc. But giving a Death Sentence to the CAMB over the actions of a few, in private homes, on private time, would be like eliminating Aggie basketball over the actions of 1 player.

Question: what would happen if the CAMB showed up on Picnic Day for the Battle of the Bands?

Anybody else up? If so, consider tuning into KGO 810 AM for the lightning delayed Cal-UW game.

17 - 16 Bears, under 7 minutes.

FWIW, Bears at UW delayed by lightning - and Bears leading 17-16!

7 minutes remaining, 12:51 AM!
