Beautiful up here. Had to take the beer back to the car though. Nice turnout of Aggie fans.

Go Ags!!!

From the Sacramento Bee: Causeway Classic adds another twist to rivalry that has plenty: game moved to Reno

“We need a game,” Hawkins said. “Baseball has a lot of games. Basketball has a lot of games. Football has a lot of practices but not a lot of games.”

“I’m not into hate,” Hawkins said Thursday at the Causeway luncheon. “There’s enough of that in our world. I’m not into that. I respect teams. Respect each other. That’s the message the rest of the world needs to listen to.”

“Every single day I wonder what Bob Biggs would do, what Fred Arp would do, what Bob Foster would do, what Jim Sochor would do,” Hawkins said. “I don’t feel pressure with wins and losses. I feel a lot of pressure representing Aggie pride.”

I've seen it two games in a row now where he runs up the score. He rubbed our nose in it last week with that TD pass from Barriere with 41 seconds to go in the game and up 32 points. Barriere is an incredible athlete and they're a machine on offense but what goes around comes around...

Hard to say why this team is performing so poorly. I think it's like Russ Bowlus said above about how much chemistry gets underestimated. That could be part of it. The team is certainly pressing given the number of shots they are missing. It seems like one they start missing and turning the ball over it just snowballs. Jen's got her hands full trying to get this team on track.

Coach Best pours it on PSU 74-23. I hope his bad karma comes back around and bites him in the ass.

Anybody know if there will be any food vendors at the game tomorrow?

Gianotti, Nagel and Nafehk were really a special trio of players. They were all so solid in all aspects of the game...smart, poised, focused and all 3 could shoot the 3 and drive the ball. This year's team is struggling to find the right pieces right now.

I don't think the coaches or the players saw this coming...they're really struggling.

Two EWU players have gone out with injuries already.

14-0 EWU 6 minutes into the game.

Barriere romps for a 66 yard TD on the 3rd play of the game and lead PSU 7-0 after 1 minute of play.

Ags lose their third straight 65-50 after a miserable shooting display. The Aggies shot 25% overall which includes 4-33 from 3 for 12%. Morgan Bertsch had 19 and Cierra McKeown had 8 but neither shot the ball well and after that the contributions from everyone else was practicably negligible.

The Aggies have a starting rotation that includes 3 seniors, a junior and sophomore that got a good amount of playing time last year but have failed to find reliable team leaders so far. The level of drop off from last year's team is surprisingly unexpected.

Davis Enterprise: UC Davis unveils $40 million sports-health complex

Among the UCD coaches on hand was former Aggie water polo maven for almost 40 years the women’s team coach, Jamey Wright.

“It’s one of those things that you think about: ‘What if? Wouldn’t that be cool?'” Wright said.

“It’s always seemed so far away, but now it’s a real thing …

“The opportunities for student-athletes to have all of these amazing facilities right here? It’s fantastic. I’m blown away. I’m really speechless. I can’t even comprehend all the great things it’s going to bring us. Amazing.”

Ags getting pounded 52-34 after 3. Shooting 3 for 29 from 3.

OK..4 of us headed up in the morning. Got 2 rooms at the Courtyard Riverfront which is entirely non-smoking! Gotta bring home an emphatic W!!

Maybe we'll get a chance for payback against NDSU this year...yikes!

After two straight lackluster performances the Ags continue to play poorly and trail PSU 33-20 at the half. The Ags are shooting a horrendous 20.6% from the field that include only 1-19 from 3 = 5%! How is it possible shoot 1 for 19 from 3...wow!

Bertsch, Bessolo, Hall are a combine 3 for 18 combined. The team is lacking leadership from the verteran players.

The historic 1982 semi-final playoff game against NDSU. Played in the mud, cold, drizzle and fog. Ags held the Bison on 4 downs from the 6 yard line to win 19-15 at go to Texas for the title game. Lost Ken O'Brien to a knee injury though and we got beat 34-9 by Southwest Texas State.

Thanks Mike, I saw that the Courtyard Riverfront is entirely smoke free also. We're going to drive up in the morning with some friends and are debating staying overnight or just driving home or maybe even staying in the Truckee area.

Are there any good places to stay in Reno that are smoke free? My wife and I avoid anyplace that allows smoking and I don't want to trade fire smoke for cigarette smoke either!
