“ im curious if anyone here knows the history of season tickets/ how ticket prices looked at toomey? missed that whole era”
I was a season ticket holder on the east side of the field starting around the mid 80s. I don’t remember the price, but it was very reasonable. There was no team aggie fee for the better seats. What i do remember, and miss, is that after each home game there was a reception at the faculty club for alumni. They served bbq hot dogs and had a no host bar. Sochor would join us and stand on a chair to address the crowd and analyze the game. To this day my son, now in his 40s, remembers the hot dogs, lol.
I think Rocak's bachelor's degree is in Chemistry--not the easiest major--and he's a grad student in the MBA program. Those two degrees are a really smart combination nowadays with so many high tech industries in California looking for sharp scientific minds who also understand business management especially with the quality of education that UC Davis provides.
Lurker for a few months, but this is my first post! I never had any interest in basketball, until last season and also when I knew I could watch the Ags on ESPN+. I’m still learning how basketball works, but it’s been a fun journey.
I watched the Bakersfield v CalPoly and UCSB v CSUN games yesterday and I was hoping we’d bring the same energy to Hawaii.
TY definitely seemed frustrated and understandably so. He played decently well, despite the last few shots where all the Ags were throwing shots in a desperate attempt to come back. It’s been tough to see DeBruhl on offensive, but he’s always been a scrappy player for the times I’ve seen him play. Sometimes I forget that he’s playing and the next thing you know, he’s diving for the ball and we have the ball! Sevilla has been hot and cold this season, but hopefully he’ll be on for the final two games…
The Hawaii announcers (or it was my husband… I can’t remember now…) made a good point that once you’re in the tourney, you have a clean slate. I think it’s a good reminder for the Aggies and we should keep our heads up because we will be playing in Henderson!
story of the season- our defense keeps us in games, and we win when we can squeeze out some offense. It seems like everyone is so much longer than us - takes away penetration and makes us rely on contested parameter shot. In the first half that I watched, their zone didn’t give us many good looks - I’m assuming the same was true in the second half? 1-13 from Leo and Sevilla isn’t a winning combo, nor is continuing to get beat in the boards
Great basketball game between two good teams that have pretty good rivalry going. I thought this was perhaps the best overall game the Ags have played this season. Sidney Burns brought a ton on energy and really got the team going when they needed it. Loved to see all the seniors play so well and get the win in their final home game in front of their families and a great Aggie crowd.
Saturday’s game will say a lot about who’s in and the final 4 seeds. Bakersfield vs Poly, and our game. A Poly loss puts them with 13 losses; even with games vs the bottom 2, they’d be hanging by a thread, and Bako would be in. A Poly win….they’d probably finish at 12 losses with Bako (home vs Hawaii). A win by us put Hawaii on the brink especially with road games vs Bako and CSUN to follow. A win by them keeps them alive but that road trip will be tough. I think we’re in the 6/7 regardless of the outcomes - either Bako or Hawaii will have at least 12 losses.
My guess is we stay at 6 even with 11 losses, where an opening round win would give us a shot vs UCR. If Bako wins out, they’d be 6 since they beat us twice. Hawaii wins out? Not sure who wins that one.
