Comment from Dee Vochatzer--UCD Hall of Fame track coach HEAD USA OLYMPIC TRACK COACH 1996

Deanne Vochatzer
What?? You didn’t like our nasty little room with all the spit on the funky woo walls?? First weight room…then something better that we thought was the Taj Mahal!!! Glad they have something much nicer/safer… now.. how bout a decent/safe track?? Coach Dee

Track should be the next in line. The bleachers are gone and the track has rough and damaged patches.

As for the new room weight room, thanks for Bruce Edwards and all who made such a wonderful gift for the athletes!

As I stated the NFL is a billion dollar business. The cream rises in the league; make plays to show your worth. Important practices are filmed and studied, and next generation stats are used all over the league for games and practices. The NFL has Doss as currently a marginal player and will have an up-hill fight to produce and be on a team.

Doss was a great Aggie and our teams won because of his ability. We should be thankful for his time at UCD!

I agree. 2 of these teams were coached by Bob Biggs. I think he is under-ratted.

Here is the list for the NY Giants --WR: (7): Sterling Shepard, Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, Kadarius Toney, Wan'Dale Robinson, Richie James, David Sills

The NBA and NFL are billion dollar sports businesses. The cream rises.Ken O Brien and Bo Eason made it when we were D II. There is an amount of luck but in the NFL with so many injuries and such short careers if you have the skill, and talent you will play in the NFL. In the pro bb with all the different pro leagues you can land on a spot and work your way back into the NBA As for Doss I agree with 88 Aggie, I did not see separation or crisp routes of an NFL receiver. It might be that his road to the NFL might be in special teams. I root for all Aggies so best of luck to him and all Aggie grads!!!!!

I am pretty sure both polos.

Is this the end of the traditional NCAA with history and tradition? I am not sure; but could see a landscape that is minor league football with many sports being eliminated.

I prefer the NFL better athletes, better game plans, shorter game. College football for me is about us beating Sac state.

Good for Derek.. After he won the NCAA championship the Aggie did a very nice and long interview. He was asked how hard it was for him in high school to stay at weight. He replied that with the large family and hard times, there was never enough for the family. To have come from such a humble background and win the NCAA title and make a successful coaching career is very admirable. Wishing him nothing but success!!!

River Aggie--You are SPOT ON.!

Rumor has it that the school is looking at the problems and will try to "mitigate the issues." What does that mean? Why not move indoors? UCD Is thinking about going into Aggie Stadium for the next 10 years for outdoor graduation. I for one don't think this is a good idea.

What was the thought process to the football stadium from the Pavilion? Was there money to ICA for the football stadium versus money from the Pavilion to campus rec?

Davis High on Friday with a turf field ran a long ceremony at Brown stadium without the same issues. Really not sure of the thought process that made this happen.

Name Image and Likeness is just a different act; that will keep the top programs on top and gap the poorer programs. Unlike the NFL and revenue sharing the top programs use money to create moats and walls to keep other programs from being their peers.

Waterpolo both men and women were also D I before the transition. The men were in the WWPA but not sure if the women were in the BWC from the start I do remember the women's team playing at Schaal in the full NCAA tourney and winning a game or two. That was a very good very team!

Why? Which UCD teams can compete in a Power 5 school and be respectful?

Here are the results from the Aggie.

The “Eliminate the Portion of CEI [Campus Expansion Initiative] Fee that makes Undergraduates Pay Over $200 to Fund ICA Athletic Scholarships” measure failed to meet the necessary 20% voter threshold required for fee referenda to pass with 78.46% of voters in favor.

The “Eliminate the Portion of the SASI [Student Activities and Services Initiative] Fee that makes Undergraduates Pay Over $300 to fund ICA Operating Expenses” measure also failed to meet the necessary 20% voter threshold with 79.12% of voters in favor.

Finally, the Consideration of changing the UC Davis mascot from the mustang to a cow passed with 73.01% of the vote and is now subject to administrative review.

Both sides are claiming victory. Cutting PE was a STUPID act by the school and may come back to hurt ICA. It hurts the general students not to have access to PE classes that can help them. Now campus rec charges for everything with instruction and the ARC is very crowded in general. It will be interesting to see if the students move on these numbers for next year.

San Jose Mercury report:

The undergrads for the last 10 years or so have[ b]LOVED[/b] the cow. The times I have been on campus the cows at the dairy barn are the #1 attraction and photo op.
I remember long ago when the Stanford undergrads voted to change the mascot from the Indians to the Robber Barons. I thought that was a bold and accurate statement of their past.
Horses have passed away from the public's eye. I like cows, better than a stallion named Gunrock.

Kudos to Coach Cy and the team. A huge win and good luck at regionals!!!

Attendance is good. Not great like the UCSB or Cal Poly but for day games very good. The men's team tried in the past to play UC Irvine at Aggie stadium and it did not create a good game. Hopefully Dwayne will have another great team with above average attendance.

Seems the moves have left the sports information department gutted. I miss a more complete wrap up of the games, but some events have a robo writer with no humanity and others like the lax story so bare it is not worth the time for me to read the story. The headline for the Lax story was " Aggies fall and are short handed." At no point did I find out the reason for the reason why the Aggies were short handed. Was it red card (s) or yellow card (s)? Was it COVID or something else. I like to follow teams during the year, but the lack of substance in the articles make it impossible. I get better information from Aggie Sports Talk, than the department.
