  • To make Pac-12, Sacramento State needs the right football coach. That’s just the start." Bee article
    Dung pile: Walking around the East Concourse at the playoff game you instantly get the organic aroma of the UCD Livestock Yards. Where else can you get that? Unique. To me those comments are just statements of envy. Nothing more. So to those across the causeway, thanks! Happy Holidays!
    We all have a lot to be thankful for.

    Dr. Mike
    Thanks for the heads up. Are commoners like me allowed to purchase merchandise in Edwards?
  • POST GAME THREAD: AGS 42 ILLINOIS STATE 10
    I totally understand Coach Plough’s statement. Not even 10% of the student body shows. But we are a UC and the students come here for an education. Finals are important. We were sitting in Sec 121 today and there were lots of empty seats.
    Those there were vocally supporting the team. Especially in the second half and fourth quarter. I know the Defense appreciated it when they came off the field after their stops. Great game all around.

    Game day experience was good. Nice to see the band in full force. Plenty of food selections and drink. Perplexed why the merchandise stand wasn’t open on the West side. Stopped off at the Woodland Costco today and they have “Special Event NCAA Men’s hoodies and long sleeved shirts.”
    I picked up a hoodie that has “UC DAVIS” with the CA logo below.

    Awesome win! Go Ags!

    I don’t think we’ll see any further developments until the Pac secures a media deal. Seems like everything is on the come. They’ve got some good teams from the MW. Will be interesting to see who they add. Wazzu is ranked 22 and the Donks are at 15 in this week’s football rankings. Meanwhile, the guys across the causeway continue their telethon. This is an education on realignment.

    Concentrate on this week’s game and get a decisive win. The Montana games will be tough. Missoula extended an 8:15 pm mt start. Is this Big Sky after dark? How nice of them. Ball control and top is important. Hopefully we can keep the offense on the field. The Montana State home game should be the featured game of the season. Where’s College Game Day? Go Ags!

    What a win! In Cheney, on the inferno. Great game Aggies!

    Movielover: I remember watching the game at the Graduate. We feasted on Grad burgers
    and pitchers of beer. The massive long tables were packed shoulder to shoulder. The place was loud and united. An epic game.
    Tomorrow the weather will be better and Coach Plough has that game day experience from 2018. Looking forward to a win in Cheney. Go Ags!

    A good test for the Aggies. I have a friend in Spokane I visit often. I refuse to go to an EWU game in Cheney. Had the misfortune to sit next to one of their fans at a Davis game. What an arse The dude was a real hayseed. I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences both good and not so good.
    I sat next to a great Tennessee fan at Memorial. They brought over,10,000 fans to Berkeley. He was the most pleasurable, knowledgeable individual. Even though Cal won, he was very gracious. I always try to engage with visiting fans who come to Davis. It’s part of the game day experience.
    Go Ags!

    Dr. Mike: I know. That’s what’s so perplexing. After the Montana win I thought Coach Mental had their
    guys rolling. But it’s college football as indicated by this week’s results. Coach Plough will have the boys focused and prepared. They’ll give it their best in Cheney.
    On a side note (sorry for mixing threads) Dr. Mike’s Schredville thread: Coach Plough TM “Schredville”
    and get the merchandise out to us common folk. It’s the 12thMan that makes the difference. Watching the game online last night it looks like the fans showed up! GoAgs!

    Idaho has been plagued with QB injuries. Lost QB3 last hight. PSU showed they deserve respect. And NAU is an up and coming team. Weber is a head scratcher. I was viewing them as a possible dark horse in the conference. SS needs leadership. One poster on their site is wondering how long will TT
    last at Stanford. Maybe he’ll come back to SS. SCHADENFREUDE?
  • 2024 Week 7: Cal Poly (2-3) @ UC Davis (5-1) Homecoming + Battle for the Golden Horseshoe
    Great Aggies win! All facets of the game clicked. But Poly is not a good team. I expected a better game from them. Jet lag? I dunno. Davis is entering the meat of the season. This win should generate good momentum going into the EWU game. But remember it’s the inferno. Go Ags!

    BaseballAtDobbins: I hope so. Will periodically check their game with Idaho State.
  • 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    Poly and EWU will not be easy games. Take the damn points when they’re there. (Two weeks in a row now?) And I agree, do your homework and prepare for the next game. We’ll do fine. Just one game at a time. Glad to see the Aggies finish strong today.

    There are no cupcakes in the Big Sky. I hope this is a wake up call.

    I’m confident there will be other opportunities for Davis in the future. Perhaps this was not the opportune time to participate. We don’t have to throw ourselves at the FBS. We are not that desperate. I bet the Pac offered Gonzaga a sweet deal to join. I agree we are light years ahead of our neighbors to the East. But we must not sit on our laurels. If our AD is serious about his stadium rendering, perhaps it’s time for serious discussions.
    Winning programs bring in students and fans. Let’s make the playoffs this year. Go Ags!

    ESPN is coming to Berkeley this Saturday for College Game Day (6am pst). The Bears game with Miami is at 7:30pm. My son and I saw CAL beat Miami in the Emerald Bowl at Oracle and it was packed. Will be interesting to see how well the featured game will draw. CAL has had challenges getting folks to attend late games. Prime time slots are for reserved for the top teams. So what’s my point? Will SS be able to consistently draw for football and basketball games with a move up? I personally would not have interest in any of the proposed Pac schools, except Gonzaga. But that’s me.
    Best of luck to them.
  • 2024 Week 5: Idaho (3-1) @ UC Davis (3-1)
    Was at the game Saturday. Great to see the Aggies pull out a win! Eck’s arrogance cost him crucial points. Aggies need to work on closing out games better. Don’t make it so exciting in the final minutes of the 4th qtr!

    Nice seeing the freshman storm the field. The rally group need to coach them up to be loud on crucial times. Would have been easy to drown out the small Vandal contingent just North of them. Let’s dispense the star wars march on third down. It’s getting annoying.
    Go Ags!
