Attended practice as well as the lunch with coach today. It was well attended. I focused on the qb play. With my untrained eyes, i thought Treynor had the better finesse on the ball but they all have one helluva good arm. We’ll have a great qb this year with any of them as a starter.

Disappointing schedule. Only thought is maybe they thought to make it winnable to get some momentum going into conference play. But not a single power school? We can and should do better

All Big Sky home games will be on espn+ with the exception of those that are picked up by an ESPN broadcast network. As a fan this is actually a better arrangement than the MW+ has for football.

Thank you so much. Means a lot. It's been more than a huge part of my life. It's basically been my whole life...!

Middlesbrough probably a small step up from Columbus.

The Columbus Crew will transfer star midfielder Max Arfsten to England's Middlesbrough FC, a source confirmed July 31.

Middlesbrough has agreed to pay up to a $7.5 million transfer fee, while the Crew retains a clause giving them an undisclosed fee if Arfsten is sold by his new team.

3.31 GPA is impressive across all sports!

Colter - when Davis eventually jumps up to the Mountain West, I personally will miss your steadfast coverage of all the Big Sky schools. Having you on the scene is really a blessing.

The athletic department release is about the All Big Sky Team.
On Steele’s All Big Sky team, Jaden Green from Lehigh now at Cal Poly is 2nd team, Jordan Fisher is third team. I think Jordan is more deserving, not only did he face better defenses but he has more rushing and receiving yards.

Looks like no surprises to the list of newcomers. I'm excited to see how this teams comes together. Hopefully everyone comes into the season healthy (no more bike accidents, please!) Feels like this team is definitely built different than past teams. Over at least the past 10 seasons, every team has been led in scoring by a guard (Seville, TY, Pepper x3, Manjon, Mooney, Shorts x2, and Lemar). I guess maybe Seville might lead again this year, but it certainly looks like we will be getting a larger percentage of our points from the wings (Stokes, Suljanovich, Massamba, Abosi). And at least we have bigs that have some experience (Musgrave and Szymczyk, along with Chappell, or course). Go Ags!!

I think think this is exciting time for the men's basketball program. We have a lot of unknowns with 8 new players coming in but it appears that we certainly have put an emphasis on getting bigger and stronger as we head into the MWC this year. This is the most size we have ever had.

I would imagine that it will take some time for this team to gel together and the pieces begin to fall in place as a cohesive, competitive unit with good chemistry. There will be some growing pains but we have some solid veterans that will help lead the team in Sevilla, Chappell and Fagbemi and, although he's only a sophomore, Stokes will bring the toughness he showed last season as he worked his way into a starter as a true freshman. Suljanovic made good progress adapting to the physicality of the game last year also and I expect him to continue to improve on both ends of the floor with one year of play under his belt now. It will be fun to watch this team grow and develop as the season progresses.

Nice to see they have redone the training facilities for basketball a bit. Like the updated logos, text and mention of new conference.

Eight new players officially signed and announced today:

I like Coach Les, but it’s time for some fresh blood. We need a new voice.

In case anyone reads the Enterprise, the quote below isn’t correct.

Another quarterback who is scheduled to join the Aggies is Colton Tannerbaum, who was a redshirt sophomore for the Arizona Wildcats during the 2025 season.

Cole Tannenbaum appears not to have been played in 2025, he was a redshirt sophomore in 2024. He entered the transfer portal in April of 2025. He only has a single year of eligibility left based on the five year rule. He is a grad transfer according to Plough.

The SID is run with interns and fellowships. That was one of the cost cutting moves. This issue ranks pretty low on the problems list.

good to see that’s official!

I'd love to be at practice this weekend in person! Aint happening though. Here's what I'd be most curious about:

1. Overall QB "battle". Rep distribution, how'd they look/execute
2. How's the Tight End group? I thought the Cal/Fortuna kid came on towards the end of spring, looked more athletic than he did early. Williams back at 100 yet?
3. Who's playing LT and are they holding up? Guessing it was the 6'3" kid with RT experience who they moved in spring
4. Who is RB2 and RB3?
5. How are Porter and Rex progressing?
6. Is the DL as good as I think they are?
7. What's the story on the Kicker spot?

Have a great weekend my friends-

That's news to me. Although I did see a post on social media of him training with a QB coach in the Spring. The caption was "UCD QB" and I was confused. ha

This is always a fun event. Its usually held in the Edwards athletic center but this year its at the veterans memorial theatre.
Date: Saturday, August 22, 2026

Time: 4-6 PM

Location: Veterans Memorial Theatre
277 E 14th St, Davis

That’s great Sochor. Dr. Mike and i will be there as well. Now we need to work on Finn. I’m anticipating the alumni center will organize something for Friday night or before the game.

Good link with camp info: https://ucdavisaggies.com/feature/2026UCDavisFootballCamp

That's outstanding. We may need to bring him on the board to rate the breweries in and around UCD for us to visit

With fall camp started, hopefully the roster gets updated soon. I know website maintenance was already discussed, but strange for us to be starting our first practices and our new players aren't even on the listed 2026 roster... just the couple freshman who got to campus early.

nice find, it's official now

Just FYI, Woodstock's Pizza moved from G St (midway between 2nd and 3rd) to the corner of G and 3rd (that whole section of G st. is closed to cars and there are several places to eat/drink...i'd suggest 3 Mile Brewery which is directly across G St from Woodstock's in a small little courtyard). The new location is a lot bigger than the old, has good outside seating, and plenty of TVs for your sporting entertainment.

They will definitely look like Central if the personnel matches. The new players in new roles for Davis starts at QB obviously, the LT is a question for me, but otherwise the Offense can ride Fish and Gbatu and the myriad of other weapons and be fine. I don't have a lot of Defensive concerns either after what came out of spring ball on the D-line especially. That group is deep and talented. Will Rex be ready by game one, and how will the other new players on the back end play? Again, looked good in spring ball but never know.

In early season games the number of veteran players familiar with the system is a big factor, and Davis clearly has that advantage. Davis players are not going to be overlooking anyone in the first game. The question is how new players and players in new roles perform and how well the coaches anticipate and how quickly they adapt to what the unfamiliar opponent does. Both the head coach and defensive coordinator are from Central Washington, so they probably will look like Central Washington.

You hit this on the head with "I think walking into PSU and expecting the norm (despite that almost upset last time) would be a mistake". The Ags will get what they allow.

Woodstock's is worth the price, you know that :rofl: I actually prefer the one in SLO but will hit Davis after a home dub.

, the Stangs were busy in the portal this year again. By the time they get to the Ags, they will either be gelling as a team, or the mercenary ship will have sunk. Transfer-heavy is always an interesting chemistry experiment, but it is easier to admit students as transfers at SLO than it is as freshmen so I get it.
