    The latest from Dr. Blue. No mention of the smoke, sounds like the plan is to march forward. Go Ags!

    We are very excited about the upcoming Causeway Classic rivalry game and look forward to seeing you at Aggie Stadium on Saturday at Noon. Come cheer on the team as they attempt to clinch a share of the Big Sky Conference championship and secure a berth in the FCS Playoffs.

    I wanted to write to you today with some important information about tickets for a possible home game on Saturday, November 24 in the FCS Playoffs. This game would, most likely, kick off in the late afternoon.

    Selections for the FCS Playoffs will be made on Sunday, November 18 at 9:30am on ESPNU. I invite you to join the team for a selection show viewing party at the ARC Ballroom. Until then, we won’t know for sure if we’ll be selected for the playoffs, whether we’ll host any games, or when games will start. However, in preparation for selections, we wanted to send out information to make sure that you are informed about how the ticketing process will work.

    We are bidding to host as many playoff games as possible at Aggie Stadium. Significant weight is given to the financial component of a bid when the NCAA decides who will host games in the opening round. Accordingly, to help increase our chances of playing an opening round game at home on November 24, we’d very much appreciate your support in purchasing tickets for it. Even if you can’t make it to the game on November 24, we’d ask you to consider purchasing tickets and allow us to redistribute them to local youth groups so they can attend the game. Revenue from ticket sales directly helps pay the financial guarantee that host teams owe to the NCAA.

    Beginning today, you can place a conditional order for tickets to all FCS Playoff games that could be played at UC Davis. Please place your order by using the attached form or the online form at this link. Season ticket holders will have first rights to purchase tickets for their usual seats, as long as they are purchased by 5pm on Wednesday, November 21. You will not be charged for your conditional order for any game until the NCAA confirms that UC Davis is hosting that game. UC Davis students will be admitted for free.

    If you have any questions, please reach out to the ticket office at (530)752-2471 between 10am and 4pm on weekdays, or reply to this email. The ticket office will also be open on Sunday, November 18 from 10am until 4pm, to answer your questions and take orders on the day that playoff selections are made. Complete information about the FCS Playoffs can be found on the FCS Playoffs Central website at this link.

    Thanks again for your support of UC Davis Football. We are excited about the possibility of competing in the FCS Playoffs and look forward to hosting games at Aggie Stadium, should the opportunity arise.

    Go Ags!

    Aside from Thomson, they have a really good RB who can break it open. I was at their game against PSU. They looked like a beat team out the gate. But with this rivalry, and if they take a double dose of Geritol, you never know what might happen. As Hawkins keeps saying, any given team in this conference can beat another team.

    Now a reversal from the earlier release, Campus is "closed". To me that implies employees are included. I think what they really mean is that classes will not resume today. I am posting these updates as it relates to our big game issue.

    NEW CAMPUS UPDATE: Chancellor May and other campus leaders have heard the community’s concerns. The Chancellor regrets any stress or inconveniences our previous update caused. We are all learning together.

    The Davis and Sacramento campuses will be closed today and classes canceled. The UC Davis hospitals, primary care clinics, Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, and Student Health and Wellness will remain open. The N95 masks will be available at the UC Davis Fire Department on the Davis campus, and at Employee Health, UC Davis Health on the Sacramento campus.

    We will provide further updates later today.

    Hot off the press

    CAMPUS ALERT: After consulting with our UC Davis health and fire experts and monitoring updated guidance from other public health experts regarding air quality, UC Davis classes will resume on Wednesday, Nov. 14, however, all outdoor physical education classes are canceled. In order to encourage people to refrain from excessive outdoor physical activity, Unitrans will offer free rides for students, faculty and staff throughout the day, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

    UC Davis will have a limited supply of N95 masks for students and employees, available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Masks will be available beginning Wednesday mid-day at the Memorial Union and the UC Davis Fire Department on the UC Davis Campus, and at Employee Health, UC Davis Health on the Sacramento campus.

    Our concern for the health and safety of our community is our priority. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed. More details in the link below.

    For what ever reason, Vacaville has had a bubble of clean air last few days. Maybe they need to change the filters on their sampling hardware, lol.
  • Week 11: UC Davis @ Eastern Washington
    I made a comment during the game that the temperature "felt" much colder than what the thermometer indicated. My feet were frozen. In hindsight, would it have helped if the team got there a few days early and practiced on the field? I remember back in the D2 days when we were hosting a playoff game, one of the dakota teams got here like in the middle of the week and were practicing at a high school in Vacaville.

    Well, after seeing my therapist, I am putting this game behind me and looking forward to the Causeway, if we can play it.

    Do they factor in fire containment in that equation? My guess is their algorithm is based on a constant input of contamination.

    Announcer said 3 pointers have not been kind to us. 2 pointers haven’t either, lol.

    He wont be 100% after the beating he’s taking
  • Week 12: CAUSEWAY
    Does anyone know if the team practiced today?

    For some reason, the air quality maps show Vacaville having cleaner air. What about having the game at Vacaville High or maybe a JC if our air quality is bad?

    Hopefully that would be the schedule. A lot of students will be gone for Thanksgiving weekend.

    So does playoff action start 11/24? If so, then our first game would be 12/1?
