Hey there! Awesome to hear. The Aggie football team had a big year and I followed pretty closely. No football @ UOP (I was a frosh for the final season in 1995 -- RIP Pacific Football) so I enjoyed keeping up with UCD football and I'm friends w/ a few alums/former players.

I live in San Diego and when Pacific hired a new men's basketball coach, I decided to go to the home opener on the 1st Monday in November. I flew to Sac on Saturday morning so I could catch the Aggies football game vs. Northern Colorado @ 1 p.m. and my good pal, Chris Saur scooped me up and we went to the game. That was a blast because I'd never been to the "new" stadium. Went to many games @ The Toom, specifically during the J.T. O'Sullivan years, but this was a first for me. We had a great time, the Ags romped and we hit the old watering holes after for a victory lap for the 5th Quarter.

Jim Les is one heckuva coach. As long as the Ags aren't playing my Tigers, I always root for them. I was crushed when they lost to The Beach in the conference final last year. The league is pretty good at the top this year, so the Ags have work to do, but keep the faith.

Long Beach seems to be a thorn in the Aggies' side.

I used to be part of the old Board, and I still follow UCD and Big West basketball very closely despite being a Pacific alum/fan. I've always had mad respect for Coach Les and the Aggie program and I was around for the first 3 years of the Gary Stewart Era and the last 3 of the Brian Fogel Era.

Good luck the rest of the way!
