Any thoughts on making the Causeway cup more meaningful? Or is this concept outdated?

Wow nice pull. Met Fred many years ago, was very nice in our interaction.

Toke 69 I agree that it is a great story. Being a big fan of CA schools, always like to see CA schools play each other. Very disappointed that the regents allowed UCLA to walk to the Big 10. Do not see UCLA playing many mid-major CA schools n the future. GO AGS!

Aggies face UOP in the quarterfinals of the NCAA championship today. I will not be able to watch the game but I have seen the team play this year in person and through streaming.
This team has an excellent chance to make the semi-finals this year.

The Aggies in my opinion are greater than the sum of their parts. Coach Leyson has taken the typical formula of having California players with a sprinkling of international players. He has had Spaniard, Canadian, New Zealanders to round out his squad. The Aggies have had stronger individual players in the past and some super stars in the recent and far past, but this year's squad has shown toughness and grit playing at their highest level when facing the best teams in the county. I was very impressed by their 1 goal loss to #1` ranked UCLA at Westwood. The Bruins led by 1 at the end of the 1st quarter, half time and 3rd quarter. The Aggies never went away but fought and scraped every possession of the game This is very impressive because of the physical demands of the game.

As for today;s game I believe the Aggies will win in a close one. The Tigers whined about the officiating last time, but the game was called true . It seems to me that they were hoping for a handful of bail-out calls which they did not get. The Tigers have reached the finals and have a history of talented international players who are used to playing under pressure and in important games. I call the Aggies to win. The edge being that for most of the UCD players this tournament will be the pinnacle of their polo career.

My take after the last 5 days. Life is not fair; sports are not fair. UC Davis had a solid football team. At the end of the season the 6-5 record was the team’s resume, and the selection team for better or worse, fair or unfair did NOT like our resume enough to include us in the play-offs. IF UCD wins conference or 9-2 then this is a moot point.

Sac state won the conference and may win all of their playoff games. Sac State has just raised the bar for us and allows us to focus on becoming the best version of UCD football in pursuit of beating them. Let’s tip our cap to Sac State this time and kick the sh*t out of them next year.

Watched the game on live stream. Aggies showed competitive greatness; they were their best when their best was called for. Great last possession to tie the game. Took control with better conditioning to control the game in over-time. The Age can play with any this year! They will do a great job at the dance.

I like our chances. The Aggies are the defending champions and have a great team concept. I believe in Coach Leyson to have them ready!

Just checked the picture on the Aggie ICA web-site is NOT of the UC Davis team, but of youth water-polo players.

Thanks 72 Aggie--Went to the Aggie web-site--Then WTF! This is NOT the UCD team; BUT age group water-polo players. This is NOT OK. How did this happen? You just do NOT post children on the web without their parents permission. Second, how thick is our sports info team in not knowing the difference in caps size and pool venue.

Yes--Proud to be part of the UC system and CAL-Davis implies that we are not!

Good for them. Having spent some time in Big Sky and Bozeman; I remember in 2009 when the papers and the state government were talking about Montana football. A group wanted the state to have one of the schools look into jumping up into the FBS and becoming part of the Mountain West. This was a small but vocal group. A majority of folks loved the idea of having 2 FCS schools to cheer for and have a yearly rival game. The only time attendance at either takes a hit is the opening week-end of hunting season, so I believe the game will be a sell-out even with the temps in the 20's or lower.

Just find this on SI--https://www.si.com/college/cal/news/troy-taylor-cal . Another distraction for the Hornets.

My families experience at local schools
Davis--0
Stanford-0
Cal-3
Sac State-3
Fresno-10
Went to the UCD Fresno game my pre-teen daughters and myself were called out. It WAS very ugly!

My verdict is still ou tthis year on Hawk. The quote that this is the Best team in Aggie History, by the Head Coach raises the bar VERY HIGH. With that statement we need to win out and make the play-offs to be even close to the best team in UCD history. Hawk open the door VERY WIDE with this bold statement. Can anyone help me understand why he would make that statement?

Still hoping that the Regents stop UCLA from moving to the Big Ten. I do NOT believe it is in the best interest of the UC's to have UCLA move to the Big Ten. Terrible travel for the student athletes of UCLA's teams. However I could see the Big Ten teams liking the thought of traveling to SO-CAL once a year or every other year.

Looks like the meeting of Jan 15-17th will decide what the Regents allow.

Beat LMU 10-9. Today is a rest day and tomorrow against the Tritons. Hopefully the men get another win and enjoy playing against a pumped up team and loud crowd. I feel could with the 2 seniors Levi and Connor leading them.

A huge win for the Aggies. Beating UOP inches the team closer to the level of the elite in Men
s waterpolo. Traditionally this has been CAL, Stanford, UCLA & USC with UOP on top years making it a top 5. After playing USC so tough last year in the NCAA;s semis looks like Dan Leyson and the team are still moving toward a top tier progarm.

2 World Series and One ring. Was a great Aggie and an amazing pro!

Big Sky looks like a conference with 2 tiers. The top teams being Sac-the 2 Montanas, Idaho and Weber state. Perhaps the Aggies can continue their winning streak. A win against Sac state should get us in the play-offs.
