Conference schedule is out, too. Home opener is against.... Hawai'i. :lol:

The Band-uh! used the horse/wheat CA as one of many bass drum head decorations, back in the day....

Powell's takes up an entire city block now. :strong: Just visited last week.

Downtown Portland looked fine to me--no weirder or dirtier or more dangerous than downtown Seattle (also visited on this trip). *shrug

No food served (or teevs) at Three Mile.

Pretty sure that's Hughes. North end is closed in as a horseshoe; south end is open with the Sutterville Rd overpass in the distance.

Just added another assistant coach: Erica Adams, who played in the BW at CSUN (5'10" guard) after transferring from Pacific.

Staff is now 5.5 coaches (the half is Mia Gallo who also serves as Director of Basketball Operations).

Interesting that the two newest ass. coaches (Mia and Erica) both played in the BW.

The CAMB-uh was shut down years ago and replaced by the campus-run UC Davis Marching Band.

Davis hasn't played hardly any of the new MWC teams over the last decade; Wyoming (lost) and Nevada (won) were the two that jumped out in my quick scan of past recentish results. Based on last-year's NCAA NET rating, WBB will probably be mid-pack in the MWC. That said, NET rating had Davis behind several BW teams that they beat head-to-head, so.... who knows.

It's always interesting to see what bench players do when given significant starter minutes. Katie Toole was pretty quiet in her initial season as a transfer bench player and then lead the team in basically every scoring stat as a starter the following year.

UCD athletics page advertising this as the "final Causeway Cup," btw, and touting a 16-4 Davis record over the 20-year history of the CC.

Gotta make room for every team in the SEC and B1G, I guess. :roll:

Didn't want to start a new thread, and we've talked about the portal enough in here: Olivier Rioux (7'9" center) just transferred from Florida to Irvine. :eyes:

Grrr.

(I mean, congrats to Tanner, but still...grrr.)

*sigh*

I guess we can be really thankful that Davis got to keep Morgan for a full four years. Unfortunately, that now seems like a abberation.

The entire Tennessee team is in the portal...Coach Baugh needs to make some calls!

There's a Hicks on the football staff--related? That would be pretty random.

Without getting into a much larger debate about what activities are sports and what are games (thank you Ken Purdy!), the "sport" aspect of equestrian is both the athletic ability of horse riding in general, but also the ability to communicate to/with the horse by body position shifts, rein position, etc to get the horse to do complicated things.

Just like good race drivers are fast in just about any car, good riders are good on totally unfamiliar horses.
