I know there just the tapes, but i agree with movie that we may have got ourselves a real jem in Gunner Faulk. I went back and looked at some of the sac bee stories on him and it is obvious tha he is not only a gifted athlete, but a kid with a lot of moxie and character. He is a kid who moved around a lot because of his military dad. That’s a tough way to grow up and yet he has succeeded both in the classroom and on the field. He comes to CB as a senior and is voted captain. That says he is much more than just being a good football player; he’s a leader. Very good job by Hawk to land this young man!

It is an interesting question that woman’s rowing and rugby would both bring in a lot of participants which is what we need for TIX. The problem with rugby is that there are no varsity opponents in the west. But as davis bear points out, this is not a problem for the cal rugby team as they just play “club teams” out in the west. The big plus with woman’s rugby is that it is a relatively cheap sport to play, it will by played on campus, it at least has the possibility of some revenue be it tickets or local philanthropic support and THE BIG ONE is that’s the Lady Ags are very good at this sport, in fact champions lately in their league. The big plus with rowing is that all the pieces are in place in terms of equipment etc. the big negative is that this a very expensive sport all played off campus. Travel with the boats and all the girls is very expensive. Absolutely no impact on the campus and no prospects for revenue. So i am reconsidering- maybe woman’s rugby is the way to go. PLUS, we would be the first in the west! Good luck AD Blue.

Might also be very good for recruiting the undecideds. Just the chance to play with a real impact player could be very attractive. Very good news indeed!

I have an idea! Let’s have a throwback game at Hickey! Just for the fun of it. When the students see how hard it is and was to get into a game there back in the day, they might appreciate the games more. Just joking off course. (And yes, with the old unis as well!)

Oh yes, and Stormy Daniels would be a nice addition to the spirit squad. Sorry to follow my own post but could not resist. Anything for increased attendance!!!! I bet she would come. . .

Streetwalkers! I have not heard that term since my old army days long past. Hookers, yes. I think we could use some of those streetwalkers around the pavilion to get some improved attendance. Well, now a days you would need equal opportunity non gender specific phenotypes which of course takes all the fun out of it for me. So send 25 for training purpose only. Good for backo. I note that i send most of my insurance premiums there so all is not bad in backo land. And i love the woolworths counter for a vanilla shake. Can you even get one in davis anymore? Copy to AD Blue.

So this is our problem to fix not BW? If so, yes very embarrassing indeed. I know we are mid major and all of that but have you seen the difference between the pac12 stream and the BW stream? It’s like Germany vrs. Angola. Not pretty. I say no more. . . .

Since i cant watch the game i have a question: whose fault is this? I thought it was a BW site not our site. If you want to watch the only game actually streaming with dinner you can watch the poly game. .

No stream.

Sac has a good FC press scheme and we creamed them off it with easy layups. I think the poly game was an anomaly and maybe just surprised us. At least i hope so.

And no full court press! Wonder if SB will try it? Or do you not do such things on the road?

Wonder why not a lot of discussion on this topic or any kind of news release from the AD? I did find out that Cal woman’s rugby has petitioned for full varsity status per TIX some time ago. Cal men’s rugby is a varsity sport. No response yet. Many schools in the east already have varsity woman’s rugby but none in the west. So this is probably a nonstarter for a new sport. On another related topic the Cal men’s rugby team was able to get varsity status mostly through the major philanthropic efforts of the Witter (as in Dean-Witter) family. Rugby field is “Witter Field” and seats 5000. Well, we can only dream. . . .

Suani is exactly what the doctor ordered for our D. He looks great on tape. Tucker needs to lock this guy down NOW!

Yes movie. Joe Carlson. Great guy and great coach. Is he still with us? Was Hickey cool? Yes, when you stomped on the bleachers they were so loose that the sound went all the way to the floor and was amplified so the sound was incredible. Yes we had a thunder dome before there was a thunder dome. I here that the lady’s practice there a lot. True? Do the men? It just felt like almost a cathedral when you walked in. All the stone and steps up. The gym smell. Maybe still does. Makes me shiver to remember all of those days.

Hey, we are now going way way back! When i first saw Baranco and Frost it was preHam if my savaged memory isn’t completely lost.i forget the head coaches name but we were never predicted to win league, but we did that year ‘69-‘70. He was a great head coach. I think he quit for health reasons. As for hickey it was an amazing place to watch basketball and feel it as if you were close to the court you could get a basketball in your face if you weren’t paying attention. Those were the days.

I get it. And a veteran team should be able to work on how to break a FC press.
I think Jenn gets it as well. Love those girls!!!

i did not see the game. but the aggies have been great against the press up to now. were they just taken by surprise? tired?

I have a tale about John Frost and I saw john frost play. He was an outstanding shooter. In one of his last games at Hickey playing sac state he and a sac state player by the name of ford were in the far back court, all the action was at the other end of the court, when for some inexplicable reason ford sucker punched Frost and he went down. No official saw it but the crowd did and they went nuts. It was the talk of the campus for weeks. I later dealt with ford and his company. He always denied that it happened, but I saw him do it. Ford was actually a nice guy when i knew him. Heat of the moment in the extreme I guess.

Please explain what that means

Love those “evil Eaton twins”. They are so great hope to see them in a horror movie. Yes, some BW coaches call them that! They cheet!!!!
