  • No support from the sac bee for Aggie Woamns Basketball sweet 16
    Probably my email to the sports editor p***ed him off and gave him the opportunity to say: “OK here’s your story- you lost.” Sometimes I should just repress my frustrations with the bee and as they say just “let it go”. . . . .
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    Someone mentioned that the BW playoff format should be changed so that the highest seeds host the lower seeds. Much like the WNIT does. Seems like a good idea since many of the games are played to skimpy crowds at Honda. It definetly would help UC Davis and also all the other teams with better and more excited home crowds. But maybe the Honda is locked in for years to come?

    Hate to follow but here are some observations about todays game: this was a very difficult but winnable game for the Ags and i think it was lost due the decision to play the game in Indiana. First of all the teams played a common opponent- St Mary’s. Indiana lost to the Gaels 82 to 88 in Moraga last November. Ags dominated the Gaels 74 to 50 in Moraga in December. Perhaps more important is the fact that Indiana played its last 4 games at home and the Ags had to travel the last 3 games far, far away from home, i.e not a Big West away game. Planes, buses who knows now but the Ags had to be very leg worn out by today. And that always shows on defense which it did today. Hard to explain why the WNIT did not choose the Ags to host this game based on those factors and the fact that the Ags had a far better overall record. Anyway congratulations to Indiana and good luck!

  • Name your favorite Sac eatery / place
    Many, many years ago Old Sac hosted a Train Fair and it was incredibly popular. I went and it was great! But I am a total rail fan. They should try to make that an annual event. UP brought its huge “Old 7777” to town and it huffed and puffed and steamed and chugged. My kids could not get enough of it!
    Former SP also brought a complete passenger train down from Portland which went through Davis. Incredible sight going thru town to sac. Old sac needs something like this to reinvent itself.

    Yes, great run. No excuse but I don’t think that 9.5 hour bus rides helped. They could have flown but at $400 per person not feasible. I will sorely miss Marley, Rachel, Dani, & Pele as they are great players and persons. Glad to have Morgan and the Eatons back for one more seasons as well.
  • New woman’s sport
    Equestrian is an NCAA sport with 19 programs active, including Fresno State. 15 scholarships allowed. Otherwise nearest teams are New Mexico State and many schools in TX, ie.e TCU, Baylor, Texas A&M etc. otherwise all are east coast schools. If we went with this sport good possibility that Stanford and Cal Poly would consider adding. Lord knows that Stanford has so much sports money they probably need a new sport to spend money on. I am sure that the vet school would provide free or greatly reduced vet care. Yes, travel is a concern but Fresno does it! So i think its still on the table for consideration. So maybe equestrian and beach volleyball??

    Sorry, just got an email from him. He’s no longer the sports editor; said “he would pass it on” to the right person. Did not name the “right person”. I agree with 72, this paper is going downhill, cutting staff, transferring people etc. trying to stay alive as they say. Well the UC Davis WBB has certainly done that so far. Go Ags!

    Out of total and complete frustration over this I did email the Bee sports editor with a piece of my mind (as if it will do any good?) anyone else might give it some thought. His email: . Remember, reasonable ranting is good for your mental health. . . .

    The Bee’s attitude toward UC Davis seemed to change with the LK episode. Prior to that it was fairly supportive. The total lack of coverage for the WBB team is just downright negligent journalism or spiteful. I would guess that with all the UC Davis employees in sac and the huge operation of the UC Davis Health System there would be a lot of interest in any stories about WBB and this historical win.

    You guys are better than me: no video no matter what i do!
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    They’re showing KS men’s game. Can they even support 2 games at once?
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    Yep. Audio only for the game I guess.
  • New woman’s sport
    No surprises, decisions is in “final stages” per UC Davis news release today. In contention still: rowing, beach volleyball, equestrian, fencing, rugby or any combination thereof. Final decision now to be “early April”.
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    OK- yes, as they say: live by the zone, die by the zone! Sure hope KS dies a quiet death. Nothing like a few threes to stick in the heart and kill the vampire zone.
  • Utah State MBB HC Vacancy
    How could that be on Les? Just that its out there? The better take is that we did so well after we lost him. I think that might be why Les may be a commodity now. It’s all about coaching in the hard times!!
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    Maybe: Pray to the Gods of the THREE! If you are right Blue we will need the 3 big time. And You know what we can do that if Rachel, Kourtney, Nina, Cierra and Nagel get hot. Also, BW teams tried the collapsing zone on Morgan and it never worked. She fouled a lot of them out of the games.withn that strategy. Still, they will present a very stiff opposition, but never court our Ladies out! They have a true strong heart to get this done. I actually think they will pull this one out. Why: Morgen Bertch!!

    well i wish him the best- if he gets the offer. Wife will make the decision as we all know. . . .

    So on to kansas state. Defensive Strategy: the Ags will come out in their custom man; but whaat does kansas st. do? Do you recall the Wyoming woman saying “post up, post up” their big she’s too good? They never did. But will kansas try it? I’m no basketball genius, but i have read that the lob is the best attack against the post up. I am betting that KS tries to post up Morgan. Has it been tried before against the Morgan? I would have loved to see practice today at hickey. Bet it was LOCKED!! Feeling KS will be very over confident for this game. The Lady Ags will respond in FORCE!!

    I suppose that a $400,000+ Salary could be enticing against his present $279,000. But I understand his wife is a very successful real estate agent in Granite Bay. If so, she may well be earning more than Jim in this market. Nonetheless, she might be willing to give it up- real estate market in Ogden UT not so hot.
