It ranks right there with Oregon's old Donald Duck logo.

Scott noted that the Aggies can clinch a playoff spot with a win today.

That signing class podcast was awesome! Thanks - PA

Really enjoyed Hunter and the turtle zen. Very articulate, well spoken person. Definitely a Davis guy :).

Danny Fells (an hour plus of gold), Bob Dunning (off-season catchup), and subscriber only top 10 games of 21st century all in production. Subscribers should start seeing them soon. Hunter Ridley episode released to public this week.

Good points Mike. I too hated to call the win vs. Stanford a "curse", but it was literally the peak of Bob Biggs and showcased his ability to bring big talent to Davis and play way over our heads through scheme, preparation and sheer will.

The machine was primed, but admin just skipped the overhaul and upgrades and let the ole' girl run for another 10 years. We were so shredded by the end of the Gould era. Thank the Gods for Kevin Blue and Dan Hawkins. They literally changed the face of UC Davis Football and UC Davis Athletics.

Montana 2018 was a big deal - we could okay with the big boys and could be a champion/playoff team. And, the stunning turnaround was something to behold!

Stanford was a blessing and a curse. Gave us incredible notoriety BUT left the program in a place where we couldn’t be a FCS contender -> I think the administration thought that game showed we could win at that level with brains and spunk and never funded the program like teams we needed to compete with. Took a decade and changes at Mrak and Hickey to put us on the right path.

Barragan, right - he came off the bench and put a drive together to win Causeway in '03.

Those were the last years where they had Causeway deep into the night - and over at Sac, Aggie fans were walking around in groups, and there were tons of cops on horses walking the lots just making sure nobody got any ideas about jumping a rival. The good old days! When the bad blood made you take note of your surroundings, trying to explain that kind of situation to my niece and nephew is strange, they can't fathom being in fear of getting attacked at a sporting event.

Yes, the 2003 Causeway Classic! 50th. Jon Barragan-lead (off the bench!) 2 minute drive, comeback win. Every bit as good as Engle v. San Diego 2007 for drama

Too bad the Reno games aren’t included. That game at the Toom was one of the most action filled games in Aggie history with a standing room only crowd.

2005 game vs. Stanford. 20-17. Although we only finished the season at 6-5, we were 0-2 going into that game.

2021 game vs. Tulsa. 19-17. Finished the season at 8-4, with a loss in the 1st round of the playoffs.

2018 game vs. San Jose State. 44-38. Finished the season at 10-3 with a loss in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

2024 game vs. #5 Idaho. 28-26. We were 3-1 going into that game but were without a quality win.

Was it '05, '06, '07? I know Plough threw the last TD, but the Aggies marched into Bozeman and beat Montana State 45-0.

Whoever said the crazy 2018 game at home vs. Idaho State, in overtime, double overtime (?) - I never got to see the finish because my buddy was so drunk at the game I had to walk him out before security threw us out - so we ended up watching the finish at The Grad.

Winning at Tulsa - overlooked win, that was crazy...I know we beat San Jose State as well one season - think it was Mark Johnson's defense who held the Spartans to like 13 points? 2010 I believe...and the 2018 squad laying 44 on SJSU - that's when we all knew that team really had something, certainly on offense, the Aggies were going to be potent.

Favorite Causeways - 2018 in Reno, thumping them so awfully bad to get the high Playoff seed, remarkable. The second. 2003 ran Mahasin 34 times and beat Sac 31-27, Flanigan threw it 12 times all game - it was so anti-Aggie in the win, but Mahasin was a beast, ran for over 170.

Favorite Horseshoe was 2004, was a super tight game, comeback game winning TD drive on a play Bob drew up on a napkin on the bus ride down. Won 36-33 and my high school football teammate secured the win with a pick at the end of the game.

The UNI game was definitely a celebration of a comeback year for the program, and a historic D1 victory. Top 10 for me.

Of games that I've personally been to I think the Stanford game has to rank overall #1, but there have been a lot of great ones over the years.

Its the "Farm vs. Farm" DVD the Athletic Department released. Loudest Aggie football crowd I've ever experienced, by far. Aggie6thMan ripped his ankle open trying to climb the fence to get on the field.....never got down there, but we definitely tried.

[2009] I was at Boise State with a couple of others on this thread. Boise State was ranked 5th, and although many at Boise State thought we were D2, we kept up with them the entire game.

The Tulsa game. A FBS team coming off a bowl game. The impressive thing about it was the way the offense maintained drives at the end if the game, especially considering the pre and in game expectation that the heat and Tulsa’s depth would wear down the Aggies.

No. 21 UC Davis Posts 45-0 Shutout Against No. 20 Montana State. 2006
On the road, coming two weeks after Montana State beat Colorado in Hawkins’ first game as coach there. Montana State had just lost two yards on the ground and never got past the 38 yard line.

the Idaho State win was so entertaining. Homecoming, OT, Maier Magic. My 30th birthday party lol. It had it all.

in 2018 and 2024. We will talk about the differences in each win.

interesting one. Last game of the first year of an underwhelming inaugural year at Aggie Stadium. Harbaugh, Josh Johnson? Matt Engle. Second straight year of a losing record. Good crowd. I was there. Walked on the next month to the team.

2007 San Diego at Aggie Stadium 49/46, last minute TD drive to bear an incredible Josh Johnson

The Aggies travel south to take on the Roadrunners, hoping to end a 2 game losing streak, both losses coming by a just single basket. Davis now sits in 4th place in the Big West, just ahead of Long Beach and just behind UCSD. Bakersfield has struggled to put points on the board, averaging under 50 points a contest. Nor has defense been a strong suit, as the Roadrunners allow the 3rd most point per game in the Big West.

The leading scorer for Bakersfield is Ary Dizon at 9.8 ppg. Dizon also tops the team with 5.8 rpg., while Taylor Caldwell helps out with 5.0 rpg.

love these takes!

No. 4, by a mile. No. 1 is too recent. No. 2 is impossible. No. 3 will have no surprises. No. 5 is too speculative and will quickly be out of date.

Does anyone know when the 30th episode is going to be released ?

He's listed at 6'6 340. That's a big boy! Picked the Aggies over offers from New Mexico, New Mexico State, Sac State, and Coastal Carolina! GO AGS!

5 or 4!

Aggie gymnastics defeated Sac State, 195.175 - 194.750 in a dual meet in Davis this afternoon. Causeway score is now UCD 49.1 - CSUS 2.5.

Next event is softball in Sacramento on February 26 and women’s golf at the Causeway Classic at the Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento on February 26th and 27th.

I saw a falcon 900 land at EDU (UC Davis airport) by accident. He was on his way to Yolo County airport. Its actually easy to make that mistake from the air. I got a tour of the cabin before he left. Nice plane. He took every inch of the runway getting out. But back on track. DWA, yolo airport, can handle any private jet and Davis air support has a first class catering and executive support. High rollers would land there.

On the broadcast of the Aggie's game against UC San Diego, the commentators made a point of the Big West not having had two teams in the NCAA tournament since 2005 when both Pacific and Utah State made it. This year, with both UC Irvine and UC San Diego having great teams, the odds would seem favorable for the Big West to get two bids once again. Here's a thought: If the Aggies could pull off a major upset and win the Big West, would the Big West get three teams into the Big Dance? This discussion should be about the Aggies prospects for the Big West Tournament, but also conferneces outlook for the NCAAs.

Aggie men’s tennis team defeated Sac, 4-1, today in a match held in Sacramento. This puts the Causeway score at UCD 46.6 - CSUS 2.5, and gives the Ags the Causeway Cup for the 2024-25 year.

Next scheduled event is gymnastics this coming Sunday, February 16th at Davis.

Following a tough loss at UC Riverside, where a 9-point third quarter and sub-par shooting from beyond the arc squandered an excellent defensive effort, the Aggies return home to face UC San Diego for the first time this season. The Tritons are having a bit of a down year overall, but currently sit in 4th place in conference play, just behind UCD. A win would push UCSD ahead of the Aggies as teams fight for seeding positions for the conference tournament.

Sumayah Sugapong at 14.0 ppg., and Sabrina Ma at 10.2 ppg. lead the Triton attack. Kayanna Sprigs paces UCSD with 6.6 rpg., while Gracie Gallegos and Erin Condron each gather 5 boards a game.

In addition to UCI, UCSD is the second “bully on the block” that the Ags need to face down in an odd home-away week. So far, the only home game they have lost in league play has been to the Anteaters. To make it worse, they’re on a 6 game winning streak. Triton’s head coach Eric Olen has done a really incredible job of getting UCSD through the transition to division 1 play and they became an instant force in the Big West last year in their first year of eligibility.

Unlike most other teams in the conference, UCSD does not have one player they depend on. True, Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones is one of the leading scorers in the league hovering just under 20 ppg all season. The 6’6”guard has a big height advantage and is among the team leaders in rebounds and assists. Still the Tritons have other threats, as their depth has allowed coach Olen to have 9 players averaging in double figure minutes per game. In addition to Tait-Jones, keep your eye on guards Tyler McGhie and Hayden Gray. Gray is extremely quick as shown by his 3+ steals per game. McGhie scores at a high rate. Both of them shoot around 40% from bey9nd the arc. These guys are scary good.
