  • Low Interest in Men's Basketball?
    I remember that one of the Band's signature numbers with the song girls was "The Stripper" - a New Orleans style jazz/honky-tonk instrumental with prominent trombone slides written by David Ross (1958). It was really well choreographed and very popular. Not sure it would play as well now. LOL
    But the choreography was no more suggestive - and probably less so - than some of the dance team / cheer squadl / Majorette routines.

    Thanks for getting this up!
    My wife said it was a fun game to be at. I was doing grandpa things with our 8th grade grandson, so missed it today. Priorities! She kept texting us updates. Great to see Gross get the most wins record at home.

    Lots of players stepped up with Bria out then Maxxie going out. Then Sabel and Norris in foul trouble. Clara Glad suffocated LB defensively and Ally Fitzgerald had 4 blocks playing with a tweaky back. She wears a heating pad/stimulator while on the bench. Gritty performance by the Aggies, despite turnovers.

    More than scoring though 8/10 from field, 2/3 beyond the arc & 5/6 from the line is big time. Added 4 boards & 4 assists plus blanketing defense. GO NYA!!

    Well played game at UCU Arena, with Aggies coming up one basket short. Intensity from both teams. Tough loss for Davis; we played well enough to win. 3-PT shooting improved, but only 25% inside the arc. Good crowd was into it the whole game.

    Actually not sure where it stands. Some type of raise probably certain. Likely hefty.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread

    9 - We signed a $318,000 contract for conceptual plans for the new stadium
    10 - We’re going to be able to give more athletic scholarships
    11 - We’re raising student fees by @$2,700 for 2025 (fees are covered by athletic scholarships)

    It’s what our student athletes deserve. And the rest of Sac State students deserve…? What percent of the SCUS enrollment are student athletes? Football players?
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    The latest in an interesting series of financial announcements from Sac State.
    1- We have $50 million in NIL money and we’re going FBS soon
    2 - We’re upgrading the Nest and building a new football stadium
    3 - We’re facing a $33 million budget deficit
    4 - We’re implementing $45 million in budget cuts
    5 - We’re getting a $2.5 million loan from the student body so we can go FBS
    6 - Actually we’re only in discussions with the student body about a loan

    Is this what was once referred to as “voodoo economics “?

    3PT shooting has always been a strong point for the Aggies, as have assists. Both have gone south recently.
  • 2024 Women's Soccer
    In addition to the 3 players on the Aggies 2024 squad who transferred to Oregon (Abella Hunter, Gia Kiesling and Elise Picard), 2025 commit Addison Boyer has re-committed to the Ducks. The wording of the announcement makes it unclear if the 3 players who were recruited by the previous coach will be in the mix at Oregon.
  • WBB: UC Santa Barbara (9-7,3-3) at UC Davis (12-5, 6-1), Saturday, Jan. 18 at 2:00 PM
    UCD started well, but seemed to run out of energy after missing a couple of shots. The Gauchos played hard for 40 minutes. Ryann Bennett led a run in the third quarter, and the Aggies cut into the lead. She was getting to the basket and drawing fouls. Energized the crowd. You could feel a comeback starting. Then Davis went away from her in the fourth. She barely touched the ball. Mystified? How do you go away from the hot player?
  • WBB: Cal Poly (8-8,3-3) at UC Davis (11-5, 5-1), Thursday, Jan. 16 at 6:00 PM
    Beyond the Recap:
    Kudos to Nya Epps who smothered Cal Poly's leading scorer, Annika Shah, as primary defender. Her teammates also did a great job when Epps was getting a rest and when switches occurred. Shah was 8 points below her average and far below her FGg & 3PT %-ages (3/13; 1/6).
    Excellent defensive adjustments by coaching staff at halftime and execution by players. The Aggies shut down Sierra Lichtie, who had been hot in. the 1st half, as well as keeping the lid on Shah.
    Clara Glad had a great defensive stint in the second half as well.
  • WBB: Cal Poly (8-8,3-3) at UC Davis (11-5, 5-1), Thursday, Jan. 16 at 6:00 PM
    Definitely a defensive battle. The Aggies made a run after the 4th quarter media timeout that CP couldn’t answer.

    With UCSD upsetting Long Beach, Davis moves back to the conference lead.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Perhaps the intent is to follow the mantra of LaVar Ball, father of NBA players LaMelo and Lonzo Ball, and "speak it into being"? Maybe with some help from some talking heads looking to ride the wave of the next big thing.

    You are correct in your reading of my post. I tried to point out positive and negative aspects of her time as chancellor without being specific. To those who think it inappropriate or were offended, I apologize.

    Living in Davis then and now we followed the situation as closely as possible. My memory of immediate and subsequent reporting was Chancellor Katehi was present in whatever was used as the command center when the University police officer in charge called in to ask for direction. Versions of he chancellor’s response to the officer varied. She said she had forbade the use of force; others indicated she wanted the students removed. Obviously, the University police officer subsequently made a poor decision. But it was also obvious that the chancellor didn’t provide the leadership she could have. The subsequent attempt at whitewashing was another poor decision that reflected poorly on our campus.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    As BlueGoldAg said previously, we’re fortunate to have Chancellor May. But to be fair, we also had Linda Katehi who did some positive things, but also made some decisions that were far more damaging to UCD’s reputation than anything Luke Wood has done so far. I see that fugawe09 just referenced this.

    Davis campus leadership also was so sure that Bob Hamilton was over the hill that they pushed him out and, with poor due diligence, hired Lonnie Williams, who had falsified his resume. Williams was terminated after one season when players revolted.

    Recently the Aggies have avoided the "why on earth did she throw THAT pass" type of turnover. Early in the year those turnovers killed us against SDSU and Portland State. Now, most turnovers are coming when someone tries forces the pass into an impossible window on back cuts. Still not good, but not as egregious as the other type.

    Hawaii is consistently pretty good, especially at home. Laura Beeman does an excellent job recruiting and coaching. It speaks well of Long Beach that they beat Hawaii at Hawaii to open the season. Hawaii also lost by 10 at UCSB, while the Aggies beat the Gauchos handily in the Thunderdome. UCI has been dominant, but got behind big at Riverside, and couldn't catch up. UCD has been just overpowering opponents.

    Looks like the BW has several teams capable of beating anyone else in the conference. As the stronger teams start to play each other more, it's going to be really interesting

    Actually UCD 80 CSU Fullerton 54.
    Sabel 24 points 10 rebounds in 24 minutes. Norris 10 points 11 boards. Baker 10 points.
