I loved Swim as a coach. Upbeat and very competitive. But, this program is now in very bad shape. I will not blame the coaches, however we were much better some years back for unknown reasons. I think this program has to be on Blues front burner for fixing. Big west is a VERY BIG MBB league and we are struggling and, frankly, look very weak and unfocused in recent play. Way too many errors lately and poor strategy led to defeats that should not have happened. Cal Poly (who we measure ourselves against) is doing much, much better in all the sports we both play. If CP can do football and all the rest, why cant we? Good luck Dr. Blue.

Shouldn't we put together a fund raiser to try and bring his folks to davis for a couple of weeks next season? Maybe some sort of web funding thing. . . I think it would pull a lot of support. Better ask China if he is OK with it first.

CIRCLE CA THAT IS

NOTED THAT MBB HAS BROUGHT BACK THE CIRCLE C LOGO ON THEIR CAPS OR DID I MISS THIS BEFORE

What is a preferred walk on

No rumor only because of geography and travel teams.

Very impressed with the 3 recruits, especially stoddard. Still think 1 addition of an athletic and quick back court slasher could make us better against LBS and UCSB.

Bee today still after LK. This is just a bone it won't give up. Sorry newspaper. We must be one of the few major universities in the country which has a very hostile major newspaper to deal with. And for what end? Crazy.

Do we really make our kids play during finals?

Unless it's bad news don't expect coverage from the bee.

Typical cal: les uninspiring what the hell that means?

Cal will never ever hire a UC Davis head coach. Just too demeaning for them. We're safe for now.

I am pretty sure the strategic redshirt notion has come up with the coaching staff. and it might be a good idea especially if we can recruit to one of our present weaknesses: the lack of a very quick and athletic point guard. I love the Eatons a lot and they are very talented, but against the top teams our guards are sometimes simply are not fast enough. plus, we lack a slashing type penetrating presence on the court who could help Nagel do her stuff inside. rebounding is another issue. Now maybe this can be addressed off season. Kourtney can work on speed and Morgan can add some muscle, but these issues are what may be called somethings that cant be coached: speed and rebounding skills/fearlessness and athleticism. Is there a JC player out there who fits that role? that's the question. Plus, with this close nit team I would put it to a vote of the team before making such a move. there is great chemistry there that you don't want to mess with. complicated! Also, I see Nina as a real star next season, so maybe not to worry so much.

Great win. And again silence from the bee. Not a mention. Sad for the women. BAD Road selection AFTER 5 ROAD GAMES would be a story for any other paper but the bee

Very bad indeed. What have we played 5 straight away games? I don't think gross expected the double-triple teams on Bertch today. And those Swedish girls are toughies, you betcha. But we will be prepared next time. 3 on 1 means 4 on 2, so theres a few plays to be made off of that situation.

Also the AGGIES are ranked higher than Washington state by a significant margin in the rpi posted 3/12. But I AGREE THE Pac12 is politically way more powerful than BIG WEST SO EXPECT A TRIP NORTH

Sorry will carry on here. Why are you so anti-UC DAVIs in your coverage? Answer: we are the "Watch dog" of the community and take pride on our investigative reporting. We hav e no particular interest in. Promoting UC Davis or any other institution. That is their job not ours. Question: but what about the good news from UC DAVIS? Answer: "good news" is not real news and people don't really care about it. Maybe in davis, but not in sac. So, she has a vary odd and negative view of journalism. Bee coverage cannot get any worse without her. Tht said, NCAA coverage the Ags not so bad.

During the height of the LK problem I finally was so fed up with the bees position on this issue that I sent an email directly to Cheryle Dees. I asked her directly: Why are you so

Fairly poor article by the chronicle which I take and read. The snide denigrating comments about the campus took me back to the '60s when this was common- yes, complete with the smell of cow manure and reference to clueless "aggie" students. Well, I still liked the article because it did take me back in time to when our teams were called "F---king farmers" and the like, yet we often won against the name callers. And yes, the reference to cows brought back fond memories of my time at Davis. The writer is probably a berkeley grad, so consider the source. Allow, what else is he to write about? Cal losing to backo?

If Hexter stays that would be great. But its very likely that he will be recruited away due to his success at UC Davis. His academic hires were great as well. I very much would like to see him stay on. What article says he will?
