Viva from Espana! After two decades of serving outside the US, it was hard for me and the family to settle back in the states. When i served in Spain the family really fell in love with the place. Once I retired we decided to sell it all and retire out here. We are in southern Spain in a small town called Rota. Plan is to open my jazz bar next year pending the wonderful Spanish beaucracy! Life out here is great. Great for raising a family and travel is amazing. Taking the kids to London in a couple weeks to watch Hamilton (front row seats are like $100). Guess how much the flights are? $130 total for five seats!! Crazy right? You should definetly make the. move to Ireland. I love it up there. Be Bold!!! Do not go gently into the night!

What's up Gabe! Kicking it off here in two weeks. Big Sky road game to open the year, stakes are high.

What is up my fellow Aggies! I've moved to Spain and really missing all the Davis football news. Great to have this board to catch up.

oh, that's from my past science days. its when management puts together is a team of specialists assembled to work on a specific goal or problem. just trying to add more layers to this planning process.

We don't know the circumstances so I'm not going to pass judgement. That's not making excuses for him; 2.0 should be easily attainable, especially with the guidance counseling and support services available to today's student-athlete. However, shit does happen. Let's just hope he figures it out, gets his degree, and plays out his eleigibility.

Maybe they should assemble it in North Dakota and ship it to Davis to save some costs..

You don't move people by being skinny - only Gandhi did that.

In fact, I think I just talked myself into going and getting a gyro right now. Lunch time.

They can grow fast if taken care of properly. Here is 13 and 1/2 years of growth for 1 of the healthy trees we have. If we had put 10 or 12, 3 tree clusters in that grass area just south of the stadium and properly cared for them it would look great right now. We do have 2 healthy redwoods so I guess that's a start.

Neither QB has taken meaningful snaps, zero for Kollock and a series for Cleeland. I don’t think there’s a difference in how a team will prepare for either one of them.

I was going to drop the three tree cluster knowledge on you but you got around to it, so you are absolutely a Redwood aficionado my man!

Treynor Cleeland announced to the team as QB1

Since I happened to have just done some hiking in one of the old-growth redwood forests this morning, I totally get you on the redwood interest. They really leave an impression.

Great day out here.
A few notes (according to my interpretation of players’ numbers):

Porter on the field and playing
Rex not dressed
Winston not dressed, but doing drills
Cleeland is faster than I thought
#16 is lighting on KR.
WR Guess / Streets played a lot
Pickett made some nice grabs
Boogie Sylvester RB (from Weber) is a great addition
Big TE #0 got lots of reps
Fisher rested
Scott Nixon changed numbers to #9 made a great TD catch from Cleeland

To my eye, Cleeland looks like the guy based what everything looks like when he’s out there.

post game press conferences aren’t going to be run by us. But we will do our best to support the school. We are excited to be doing post game podcasts on the field each week and at select away games.

Yes, they can grow just fine in less than ideal places like Elk Grove or Davis but they need help- shade when the are young, plenty of water, and 3 tree clusters will help them grow better. I apologize for so many post about redwood trees in a football forum, I'm a redwood nerd-lol.

“ Has anyone seen or know of any actual construction taking place yet with all of these facility projects?”

I was there yesterday. They are building something big in the field north of the genomics building next to the west side of the stadium. Hard to tell what its going to be, but i speculated a parking structure.

The overall production quality of this episode is a big step forward. The interviews have always been good but, now, the setting, sound quality and camera work have taken a big step forward. This was a very professional quality podcast production. Great work! I'm really looking forward to the addition of the coverage of other Aggie sports as well in the coming weeks ahead.

The first 17:16 of this Aggie Pride Podcast introduces Anna Malepai who will be covering the other Aggie sports this season.

Thanks for y’all’s support. Lots of blood and sweat to get here. We will continue to put our best effort forward. The hope is to continue to provide great football coverage each week and add in more sports as funding and interest grows.

Congrats to the Aggie Podcast crew. This podcast has really been a big booster to Aggie football.

We need something similar for MBB and WBB or at least a coach's show each week recapping the games, talking about the players and looking at the games ahead. Football is really taking off and I'd like to see basketball get good boost also. Having Scott Marsh talk with Les for 2 or 3 minutes before and after a game just isn't enough to help publicize the program, help get donors inspired and get more fans in the seats.

Akem is such a bright guy! So lucky he wanted to join our team. Joyful is a great way of putting it.

Hello everyone!

We are in the process of expanding our UC Davis football coverage. Working on an "Aggies Weekly" video podcast that would feature weekly interviews with Tim Plough, various assistant coaches & an Aggie player each week. If anyone is interested in connecting me with businesses who might want to support UC Davis football & the coverage of it, please let me know! I have a few connections down there, so want to create some affordable and beneficial packages to benefit everyone. We are considering a way to give part of the proceeds back to the NIL collective as well.

Here's our first of many hits. We will have our hit with Tim Plough from the Big Sky Kickoff soon.

Thanks for the engagement! Plough is the man and it's really fun covering UC Davis football.

Here is my "master plan" stadium rendering if we joined the mountain west. This is a long term vision but seems like something realistic size wise

heres another version too:

Here is my AI design attempt for the next step of Aggie Stadium.

North End Zone- Beer Garden, mix of permanent bar and food trucks

South End Zone- keep as grass. I would add Redwoods behind the score board. It is a pet peeve of mine that we did a half ass try to add Redwoods but some died, some look unhealthy/stunted and only 2 actually look healthy. And we are supposedly an ag school :(

New Press Box- Doesn't look great but I tried to add proposed renderings (which aren't that exciting IMO) and the size looks off but I can only waste so much time redesigning the stadium- ha.

East side lines would the future steps down the line after years of winning games and high attendance numbers.

Great scene and fun atmosphere today out on G. Street. I was able to make it out to watch the game....something I'd been meaning to do. They should do this for big road Aggie football games as well.
