    I have heard that Bob Dunning is on this. Good news!
  • The Fate of the Grad
    I have posted before why not break up the Whole Foods space into some smaller units? Or use the Gap space that is leaving? Joel Friedman is a tireless worker for his projects there and he is a UC Davis supporter. He would get it done. But I know a divorce can really screw up a good business like the Grad.

    Absolutely great!! Love our gals!

    AO I agree. I think that Jens recruiting (always very good) is picking up significantly now with her success, her team’s success and more importantly the fact that they love and adore her for many reasons. She is a huge huge asset to our ICA. Actually, probably the best coach ever for WBB here. She will take her Aggie women to Stanford and will impress. Thats why we play the game, right?

    Run? The twins can run and run and run. I am not that worried about the Oregon State size as I am about how we defend the perimeter because thats where they get their points. Hall and Nina will get the RBs.

    Thanks BGA. I think you need to see these kinds of games for your spiritual health more than once. I confess I gave up on the Ladies for awhile and did some yard work very depressed. Yet look what happened! These gals are totally winners no matter what happens down the line. I truly believe that most of them will become great successes in whatever they do after graduation.

    Is there any way to watch this again?
  • WBB Signs High Scoring 6'5 Center
    According to the ESPN announcers statements in the UCI game, the Aggies coaching staff is known nationally for developing bigs to their fullest potential. ESPN guys also noted that Jen Gross is “one of the best and most respected women’s basketball coaches in the nation.” Thats some potent praise if I don’t say so myself.

    I am not so much into superlatives, but this was one of the best games I have ever seen the Aggie women play against a very good Irvine team. Yes and in a fairly hostile, cold place to play in the Honda Center. I hope the BWC gets out of there ASAP. You gotta love our Gals!!!
  • Former Sac State Coach Behind New College Admissions Fraud Case
    And Olivia’s comment on the whole thing: “well, I really never wanted to go to college anyway.” Simply unbelievable that such human beings exist. I must also strongly disagree with the prosecutions decision not to charge the students, but rather classifying them as unknowing “victims”. What total nonsense. These kids knew exactly what was going on. As such they participated in a criminal conspiracy and should be charged along with their parents.

    72 Well, they can always survive by just paying someone to take all their tests and do their homework. Remember the WalMart heiress who paid $20,000 to another student to do just that? Where did this happen? USC in 2004. Where else. . . .
  • Aggie Softball Pitcher Throws a Perfect Game Against Sac State
    Brooke is apparently like a Sandy Koufax. She cannot be hit when she is on fire like the great Sandy. I was at the Stick and saw Sandy throw curveballs that the Catcher could not often even catch. Great guy too.
  • Former Sac State Coach Behind New College Admissions Fraud Case
    Hate to follow, but this is just so bad. One of the USC girls involved, Olivia Jade Gianelli, only learned about this thing while she was spring breaking on a yacht in the Bahamas owned by the billionaire Chairman of the USC Board of Truesstes, Rick Caruso. The USC corruption situation is actually beyond belief. We all thought she was a varsity rower!! She never laid a hand on an oar. Clever by too much!!!!

    Obviously the new strategy in the league is to really be physical with Morgan and hope for the best. Twins need to come out and Take care of this which they are very capable of doing. Love those gals. . .
  • Aggie Women BW All League Awards
    Z I have never been to a Aggie water polo or golf game in my life, yet many WBB games. To me your comparison is very faulty. I’m just one person; maybe your right, but I don’t think so. Jen Gross is a very special coach. You just better hope she sticks around because people are indeed taking a long look at her at this point in her very impressive career. Also, to compare the success of WBB with men’s baseball is, well, ridiculous. Enough said.
  • Aggie Women BW All League Awards
    Jen deserves a raise and a contract extension. I don’t think we have ever had such a dominate athletic team in our very short D1 history until this coach came along to get it done. I have very good feelings about the BW tourenmant going in with these Aggie gals.
  • MBB 3/9 5 pm DH Senior Game: Riverside (9-22 & 3-12) @ UCD (11-18 & 7-8)
    In defense of Les, his style is a very guard driven and opportunistic offensive system. Actually more NBA than college perhaps. BUT, and this is a big but, he really needs great players to pull this off. Hawkins, yes. Lamar, yes. Shorts, yes. Otherwise it just doesn’t get off the ground, thus we have this year to deal with. I do not know Jim Les, but I think he is on to something. How many outstanding 3 point shooting guards are there out there compared to 7’ footers? 100 to 1? 500 to 1? 7’ footers at this level are slow, and somewhat indifferent to defense unless they can block a shot. BWC 7’ footers are never going to be outstanding players. If they were they’d be in the Pac12. Les will come back if he can find some really great guards. I think he just might. IMHO
  • Foreign Tennis Player Issues
    I think its a combination of all of them. I think its sort of an under the radar thing with tennis because the very top ranked teams- UCLA, Stanford, etc. have few foreign players, but they get the top US players and there are not a lot of them to go around. So it is the lower levels of tennis that see this happening. Apparently top DII is almost all foreign players. And they get the scholarships partially paid by US taxpayers. I think this is fine. Just put a reasonably limit on this- no ban. BTW both UCSB woman’s tennis coaches are, in fact, foreign born. Canada. South Africa. They are great coaches and I in no way disparage them. I actually believe they would support some limits. IMHO
  • WBB 3/9 2:30 pm DH Senior Game: Santa Barbara (8-20 & 5-10) @ UCD (22-6 & 14-1)
    Missed the game and cant get the replay. I guess due to it being a DH. I will wait it out. Hope the Aggie men come out focused and smart.
