That one hurts It's not the way you want to start conference play.

I just looked at the box score and it looks like it was one of those games where we lost even though, statistically, we out played them: 16 shots and 8 on goal to their 11 and 5, more corners 3-1 and fewer fouls 19-12 but one of the fouls resulted in a penalty kick goal that was the difference in the game. The Hawai'i keeper also had 7 saves. Soccer, more than most sports, is the kind of game where a team can dominate but still lose.

I think it goes to show what bringing in schools like UCLA and others in any sport will increase attendance dramatically. I know that it's difficult to get the bigger name programs to come here to play though. Heck, I remember Jim Les saying that trying to get schools like St Mary's and USF on the schedule is difficult even if it's a road game.

The following article is about a meeting that took place earlier this summer in Florida that included the NCAA President and the commissioners of the SEC, ACC, Big 10 and the Big 12. The group discussed a proposal that separates the 4 Power Conferences away from the other 28 conferences.

While many details remain unclear, the new governance structure clearly draws a dividing line between the revenue-generating football giants competing in a mostly commercialized, professional enterprise and the more basketball-centric institutions participating in a more amateur landscape.

The Aggies pulled a major upset this evening by beating UCLA 3-1 (26-24, 15-25, 25-21 and 25-22) in front a a big, boisterous crowd at the University Credit Union Center. Overall the Aggies now stand at
5-4 after completing their very tough non-conference schedule that included #6 Purdue, Indiana, Kansas State, Washington State, Washington, UMBC and UCLA.

The Ags will now begin conference play at on Thursday vs Long Beach and Saturday vs UC San Diego. Both games are at 6 pm at the University Credit Union Center.

Bob Dunning takes the Ags by 24.

Better than coming home broke!

Lots of schools are lobbying for the PAC12 according to Teresa Gould. Possible additions include: UNLV, UTSA, Memphis, Tulane, North Texas, South Florida, Air Force and Gonzaga (basketball only).

Welcome back, PA! We've missed you here.

05 made a post a couple of days ago for the first time in years and, like agalum said, 6th moved to Texas and I heard he found another team to follow. We haven't heard from him since he left, unfortunately. All this speculation about the PAC12 and the MWC has generated a lot of interest even if it just a pipe dream and it seems like some of original members from the past have taken notice. I hope they'll stay around and contribute to the conversations. Again, welcome back!

That sums it up nicely, Mike.

The Aggies host UCLA on Thursday, September 19, at 6 pm at the University Credit Union Center. The Ags would love to upset the Bruins as they head into conference play at Long Beach the following week.

Great video!

I'm really not sure. I know that most Big West fans aren't real happy about it though.

Big Sky schedule for Saturday, September 21:

Eastern Washington @ Nevada - 12 noon
Western Carolina @ Montana - 12 noon
Southern Utah @ Idaho State - 3 pm
Northern Arizona @ Incarnate Word - 4 pm
Sac State @ TAMC @ 4 pm
Weber State @ Northwestern State - 4 pm
Northern Colorado @ Stephen F Austin - 5 pm
Idaho @ Abilene Christian - 5 pm
Portland State @ Boise State - 6:45 pm
Utah Tech @ the Aggies - 7 pm

I don't think we'll see the Aggies move up in the polls even if we crush Utah Tech unless some of the teams ahead of us lose. This is a game where we are expected to win big so a win by a big margin won't impress the voters that much. The Idaho game is the one that will that will catch the eye of the pollsters.

I feel like this game could be a bit of a trap game if we get caught looking ahead to the Idaho game and overlooking a hungry Utah Tech team.
