Wonder if any of them will end up at Colorado.

Sadly, "LU FOOTBALL TEAM WILL NOT HAVE GAMES IN 2026"

Too bad for the Slack schedule makers because the games would have been home games for Slack.

So much for “BCS independent playing an FBS schedule”: Of five opponents four are FCS teams, (and the date for the Lamar game is still “to be determined.”)

Leaving Sac State for Colorado may be an out of the frying pan and into the fire situation. Colorado's athletic department reported to be facing severe financial issues. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/big12/2025/12/02/colorado-athletics-budget-deficit-deion-sanders-colorado-football-contract-nil/87560914007/

…and of those four games only three have set a date. The fourth, Lamar, is still “TBA.”

All they need is the games.

Hard choices: Jackson has the advantage of currently coaching a team called the Hornets. Carter was apparently once a dancer for rapper MC Hammer.

I'm in. Thanks for doing this.

Dr. Mike makes a good point; this thread has strayed from its original subject which was about Coach Marion's ("surprise!") departure for another position elsewhere. However I wanted to reply to Kadeezy's note about Dr. Wood's announcement regarding the addition of class sections. That is good news because after all is said and done the primary mission of schools in the UC and CSU systems is to educate.

I am sure the Sac State community can rely on what Dr. Wood has told them.

While classes are cut and faculty is laid off....

Cal Poly is doing very well in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament, defeating BYU in the first round and USC in the second. Next up is Kentucky, the top seed in their corner of the bracket.

NCAA field will be announced this afternoon/evening. (3:00??) 31 autobids, 33 at-large.

NIT Volleyball (officially something like NIVC...) has been "paused" this year...

A 7:00 PM PST kick-off is not going to help a team that is living on Eastern Standard Time.

I read agalum's comment as more of a keep "the state", that is state government, out of the business of creating athletic conferences. It's one thing to have colleges within a state combine on their own to form a conference. It is something else to have the State create and oversee a conference.

In women’s basketball tonight it was UCD 70, Sac 67 in OT.

This was the last Causeway event for the 2025 calendar year. The current Causeway score is UCD 37.5, CSUS 5.

And Dr.Wood just received a 6% raise,....while the school is cutting classes, laying off employees....

Ags get 6th seed in the NCAA men's water polo championships and open up against host and 3rd seed Stanford on December 5th.

I suppose Troy Taylor is still too much of a risk…

“Don’t let your mouth write a check that your a** can’t cash.”

That probably needs to be updated for the PayPal and Venmo generation.

Shhhh!
