    Would make sense to be cautious, especially in this weird season

    Looks like the Aggie height is getting to USF a bit in the paint, and this is the sorta small-ball lineup.

    Need to clean up defense on the jumpers though

    Oof, I didn't realize that. That's a brutal amount of time to be injured

    Spectacular move by Trpcic there

    no info from me, though we seem to be playing with who I'd expect to start based on last year's performances

    there was a long two that got bumped to a three on the live feed I believe, or at least that's what it looked like

    The facebook stream Russ linked is just about the best viewing experience I've had for a UCD stream

    I got an email from the coaching staff today that linked to an entirely different stream, of course (the BWTV one that doesn't work). This needs to be fixed.

    Something something top STEM university and WBB mid-major power

    we need working streams

    Even Stobbart as a 6'3" shooter is a matchup nightmare. Svanholm and Lilly could both be role players and this team would still have a reasonably impressive frontcourt -- and Svanholm's sophomore stats suggest she could be a starter.

    I remember some Megan Jones (also 6'3") highlights were circling around here last year and she seemed impressive.
  • Nevada and San Jose State...
    3-0 San Jose State beating SDSU with a backup QB wasn't on my 2020-21 bingo card :(
  • Spring Schedule
    Ah, Makes sense.
    That being said, depending on the program a single, full-time grad student can be eligible for a LOT of federal aid at the grad school level. So I'm wondering if in effect the team gets the equivalent of having a player on a partial without it counting against the limit.
  • Spring Schedule
    Exciting schedule, but also kinda terrifying. Three (possibly) top-25 teams with maybe even two of them being top 10. Play at our level from last year and that's a 3-3 record, yikes
  • Spring Schedule
    funds as in no athletic scholarships for it, or no aid of any kind?

    Speaking from experience I definitely got grants and scholarships from SDSU for my MBA. I don't see why an athlete at say Cal Poly wouldn't have a similar eligibility if they were also a full time masters student, regardless of sports.
  • Donation drive
    I wonder if for this kind of thing, some of the revenue sports' donors feel like it's double dipping to invest in a drive like this because they're already doing things like the Team Aggie donations for season ticket eligibility.

    Then again, that didn't seem to stop the WBB boosters from pouring it on. And there are far more football alumni and attendees out there.

    I do really like this "gamified" format though. It was a trival but fun thrill to donate early and see my donation bump one of the smaller teams' total up another digit.
  • New Uniforms
    I noticed that as well. I think the scale/grid thing was an Adidas template because I remember seeing a few other schools have it. I guess we opted for the "no-scale" option this year.

    Seems like minimalism is the new theme, excepting the nameplates.
  • Aggie alum is co-winner of Nobel Prize
    Amazing news.

    We should have a Nobel Laureate bike rack now, like UCB does with parking spaces.
  • New Helmets for the 2020-21 Season
    The gold helmets are classic and should still be the mainstay, but these could bring some amazing alternate looks. Blue-gray-blue on the road?
  • 2020 Men's Basketball Big West Tournament
    just when I thought the season couldn't turn into any more of a letdown as an sdsu fan...
  • 2020 Women's Big West Conference Tournament
    I tend not to fault organizations for caution; safety is paramount. I wasn't even too mad about getting sent home from the G1C last night once I read about the NBA situation.

    Mad props to all that the women accomplished this year, they played their hearts out and certainly were deserving of a postseason berth.

    In my eyes, they went to the tournament, regardless of whether they ever physically take to the court.

    There's a good post on the UCD Reddit purportedly from a professor showing how the number of simultaneous cases can be spread out to stay under the hard limit of how many patients our system has room for. Would link if I can find it on mobile.

    It's true that for many people this isn't worse than the flu and currently it's not as big, it does have a higher death rate and is apparently more contagious. So the precautions make sense from a logistical / lack of research perspective even though individual danger is small
