Awesome interview of an amazing athlete and person. Does this mean she has made the Skys roster or has just been invited to camp?

Read the entire results sheet, and seems the teams had about equal first place/second place winners, but sac it appears has a much deeper team than the Aggies. Believe we also had some injuries or holdouts for the BW meet coming soon. For instance we have one of the top men’s pole vault guy on the coast and he didn’t even get to play. I have always hated the duel meet scoring system which awards the depth of the teams, I.e. 1st place gets 5 point, and the 2d and 3d combine for 5 as well. No, I am really not complaining that much, it’s just what has been in place for decades and I was good with it my own very old running days. My only issue is: do the Aggies invest as much as sac insofar as track and field are concerned? If not, I am really bothered by that. Track and field is a great Olympic sport and we don’t need to see it diminished.IMHO

Cost. MLBB bats cost $100-200.

Someone should tell the story about Rex Peters. How he came and coached the best few seasons the Aggies BB team ever experienced. His wife as I recall was the sister of then giants star something Snow and he actually wore Aggies shirts in the Giants dugout. All on TV! Man, this was fun, but over 20 years ago and probably before D1 times for the Aggies. The now unimportant question: why did he leave a head coaching position for an assistant position at UCLA? Might be an interesting question for our more senior members to address. In their leisure of course. I always thought he was a great guy.

Is our former head coach and I cannot remember his name there.

I checked out the box scores and to my dismay saw that the buckhorn in winters is a financial supporter of of sac state! For a business in Yolo county with all kinds of davis presence this really has to be a little hurtful. Still love their tri tip sandwich at the farmers market. But, hey, what is going on here.

Will someone please tell me how paying a football coach 3-5 million a year helps the higher education of our students. This is so ridiculous and I thought only the creepy southern schools did this nonsense. Yes, i realize that most of the money comes from “booster groups” so no “taxpayer funding involved” (yeah, sure got that BS”, ) but still, what a misuse of the higher education infrastructure of our country to do this stuff. does any of this big money go back in to the actual education of our kids?

Well, I will give you my brief views on this subject. I think Miles is going to bring more to the table next season at QB. With much more experience and confidence. WR will be very positive as well. OL also in good shape. I think RB is the real question here as we lost probably the best player at this position in Aggie history. It will be interesting to see how Chucwudoba and Larison match up against each other. Both very different style players but they are both very good. Larison just gets bigger every year now at 199. Then there is my favorite Tompkins, also known as the Magic Man. I say put him at WR and return man as the guy is big, fearless and scary and at wildcat. I leave the defense to my more informed people. Feeling good about next year.

Campbell was one hell of a recruiter. In two years He stocked his team with a lot of transfers, foreign players and out of state recruits and turned a three win team into a playoff contender. And that’s saying something given that sac state is not exactly a dream place for an elite basketball player. So how he did this is quite amazing. We know that hornets boosters provided the extra money to entice one football coach to sign on to the hornets staff, could they be giving out NIL money to players now? I really doubt that this is the case. But, I think that if the boosters are totally separate from the university they can do this legally. And i don’t think that an NIL deal has to be publicized or put on record as it’s considered an athlete’s personal and private matter. Still, many athletes choose to announce their NIL. Consider the Cavinder Twins (Fresno State transfers to Miami) On3 tracker values their NIL at$851K!) So congrats to Campbell for the new TCU job he certainly earned it and if he had some NIL money assistance he is just playing by the new NIL rules. Do any Aggie athletes get NIL money? Doubt we will ever see it or know it.

Magic is really an underused asset. But that he will do everything that will help the team

Don’t count out Larison he is a gamer. Both of these guys in the backfield would be very effective and do not forget magic! That guy is the stud of studs!

So the thinking is Carson camp will lead sac state to win the FCS championship? Nothing much on UCD except Hastings being pretty good. A lot of discussion on sac due to all the changes in the coaching situation. I think MSU is overall the best of the BS teams according to these guys. Sac did not play MSU last season and that helped them a lot in the rankings. Should be an interesting season to watch next season.

I may be wrong, but I think the field hockey facility was almost entirely built with donated funds from a very wealthy parent of a player. This was at the time when field hockey was being threatened with elimination as a sport on the west coast. Maybe we just need another wealthy doner to get this done. But I do agree, it would be great to see the team succeed and earn the money.

And probably the softball field would also then need lights per title IX? So yes, a bit more complex than it looks. I do think that lights would help recruiting a lot.

What is the story on the No Lights situation? I thought it was high on Rockos to,do list?

It is worth noting that Sac’s women won the Big Sky with an essentially remade team from last year. Their new coach was very successful recruiting the portal and attracting excellent foreign players. You would think sac would not be a great recruiting spot, but it cannot be denied that they were very successful this year, obviously did much better than we did. Their Aussie gal is a rare talent and we have nothing to compare. Looks to me that Jen needs to go international in a big way to get us back on track. Very sad that swenholm never really blossomed here and some serious injury issues were a problem team wide. Hey, Australia is a great place to visit. Jen needs to pack up the family and make the trip!

As far as coaching styles go, Les should take a look at the legendary John Wooden’s method. Never yell at your players a and never ever disrespect them on the court in the public view. Frankly, I am not a big fan of Les. He is an ok coach I will give him that. He lives in granite bay with his wife who probably still makes $1m+ a year as a top real estate agent. He has no real connection to the davis community and this job is likely a hobby thing for him. Don’t renew again Rocko.

Be interesting to see if there were any contested recruits between Hawkins and his son now at Idaho state?

WBB Seems Jen has a bit of a problem this season. No really good players and some very mediocre ones without any grit. Very different from the Morgan and twins days. Oh, how I miss those days!

Well try driving the 101 to sfo in a driving rain storm with hail , 70 mph winds, rain, flooding on the 19th Ave 1 foot deep? Then the GGB! Moaning and swinging. Maybe can’t beat the Fiji story or the Aggies story, but it was very hairy I can tell you that! Good win by the Ags!
