I guess just a feeling when you see kids that seem to have some sort of undisclosed injury, then just sit in street clothes the remainder of the season. This season he seemed to look unhappy quite often. I just got the feeling something happened between him and Les and they came to a mutual agreement. But, maybe that something was that Les knew he was entering the portal.
As i have stated many, many times my objections to Bossy, Cow, Cow - i am firmly against any type of cow logo/uniform. we are SO much more than that now.
I’be been going monthly since Plough started. It’s a really fun lunch, allows you to get to know the coach and interact with a bunch of Aggie “regulars.”
It started out as just a few of us having coffee and donuts in the Bruce Edwards room with coach then it evolved into lunch at Froggys. As more people started joining, they had to move it to Sudwurks. Now, there’s lots of new faces with a packed room!
I would hope to his they are on national TV! just kiddin with you. I really dislike conferences playing on days other than Saturday for TV. I don’t think I ever reached a level of boredom to turn on a midweek MAC matchup in the past - can’t imagine I’ll do that this year.
Well the club team over there is pretty fantastic so that would make sense. I worry/wonder if the Davis announcement of dropping down leads other schools to follow.
There is a whole world of equestrian folks out there. My daughter had her heart set on Davis because of the NCAA equestrian program (in addition to animal science). We are not rich (a few on here have alluded to equestrian folks being rich / spoiled). We don't even own a damn horse.
She's now got her heart set on Cal Poly and other schools in the west (the CP program isn't an NCAA program yet, but its on a trajectory to become one).
Davis is a self-proclaimed Ag school with the best Vet school in the nation. It is also destination for large animal (horses!) medical care for folks nation-wide. Its odd to me that a University like this does not prioritize a sport like equestrian.
Without getting into a much larger debate about what activities are sports and what are games (thank you Ken Purdy!), the "sport" aspect of equestrian is both the athletic ability of horse riding in general, but also the ability to communicate to/with the horse by body position shifts, rein position, etc to get the horse to do complicated things.
Just like good race drivers are fast in just about any car, good riders are good on totally unfamiliar horses.
