Glad to see you back on AST, Sailorgabe! Congratulations on your move to Spain which is one of my most favorite countries in the world. My paternal grandparents were from Madrid.
My wife and I spent 10 weeks traveling on our own throughout Spain 11 years ago and we have been talking about going back in the next year or two. My wife spent her junior year of college abroad in Madrid during the Franco era so Spanish comes back to her fairly quickly once she spends time immersed in the language for a while. We are considering going back to Madrid and then up to the Basque country and driving across northern Spain, down through Portugal and back into Andalusia.
We traveled by train and car and spent time in Madrid, Segovia, Sevilla, Toledo, Barcelona, Granada, Córdoba, several small towns in the Pyrenees and many Pueblos Blancos in Andalusia including Jerez de la Frontera right next to where you live now in Rota. I followed the Aggie games whenever I could but the time difference made it difficult
.
I hope your jazz bar goes well. We'll stop in and say hello if we are near Rota on our next trip. All the best until then and GO AGS!
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!
Sailor, exciting news about the Spain move. Interested in the whys, where’s and what’s of your moving to Spain. I myself have often thought of a move to Ireland, but never went through with it. Hope the fires are not affecting you. We went through that whole thing over here in Sonoma County a few years back. Not fun!
Did anyone see the final score in the exhibition game against Cal? The Ags were down 1-0 at the half and Live Stats just shows that the game is over and the exhibition game scores are never shown on the official schedule.
they can come up with every excuse they want, but THEY are the ones who changed the circumstances of us not playing... not us. It's not our athletics department duty to cater to them.
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.
Agree with your take. It's frustrating, because we all know it's something that Dobbins probably could've / should've been on top of. However, it's part of the growing up that takes place - hopefully - during college.
Agree a 2.0 should be attainable let’s not attack a kid for something that we still have no real information about. We don’t even know if this is truly what it is or what his involvement was. And even if it is the case we all have made mistakes. Let’s just hope he gets back on track. Seems like a good kid.
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.
Good road win, but definitely some things to work on. Fresno did a better job in the 2nd half and created some dangerous chances. Aggies also wasted several opportunities due to offside calls. Gotta clean that up.
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.
