Cal and the 'furd are both struggling this season. UCLA made it interesting by losing to Arizona last night.

While we were busy elsewhere Keelan was elevated to the Chargers' active roster....

That's $3 million a year, with five years left on the contract. RIght now that's worth $15M to Wilcox

Who knows what specifics the contract may have about buyouts, but it would cost alot more than $3 million. Up to the $15M?? A Gofundme isn't going to do it.

UCD Men’s Cross Country finished 22nd in the NCAA West Regionals today with 662 points and a total time of 2:35:51 while Sac finished 28th with 799 points and a total time of 2:38:48.

In the Women’s competition UCD finished 15th with 402 points and a total time of 1:43:01, while the Sac women finished 29th with 847 points and a total time of 1:49:04.

The running tally for the Causeway Cup is now UCD 22.5, CSUS 2.5. Apparently there is a football game coming up on the 19th.

"The Year of Beating Stanford!" I love it!

2005-2006

Men’s Soccer
UC Davis 1, Stanford 0

Football
UC Davis 20, Stanford 17

Men’s Basketball
UC Davis 64, Stanford 58

Wrestling
UC Davis 38, Stanford 6

Baseball
UC Davis 3, Stanford 0
UC Davis 8, Stanford 3

(Men’s water polo was a 9-7 Stanford victory. Any other year a 2 goal loss in water polo to ‘furd would be a cause for quiet celebration.)

What is going to happen to non-revenue sports? I imagine flying a softball, soccer or gymnastics team from Los Angeles to College Park, MD or New Brunswick, NJ isn't cheap.

BYU has previously announced they are moving to the Big 12:

Here’s one SI writers’ opinion on potential Pac-12 teams:

Great win!

(Now just don't stumble against Cal Maritime. Beat the Keelhaulers!)

Defeated UCSD this evening, 8-7. They finish the WWPA regular season 8-0, win the regular season championship and secure the top seed for the conference tournament which will take place Nov. 18-20. I believe this year’s tournament will be at LMU.

This will be a tough road trip. UCD, LMU and UCSD are the top three teams in the conference.

These last two games have been character builders for Sac. Up until last week they had never trailed in a game. That sounds good in the press release, but a team that has never trailed has no experience playing from behind, or coming back to win in crunch time. OT last week, trailing with two minutes to go tonight, but they pulled out the wins.

The bad news for Sac fans is that Cal lost again, almost assuring they will not be bowl eligible again and may be looking for a coach soon.

Men's soccer final from Sac: UCD 2, Sac 1. A mild upset and a nice victory on their pitch. Davis qualifies for the Big West Tournamment and Sac is eliminated.

Causeway score is now UCD 12.5, CSUS 2.5.

Next events are men's and women's cross country at the NCAA regionals in Seattle on November 11.

Portland State ran out to a decent lead on the road against Eastern Washington and then held on to win 38-35.

When I go to the relatives' football game there are just as many parent volunteers at the gate as there have always been. Half of them look at me like I am an idiot (1) for not having pre-purchased tickets on my phone and the other half are as cyber-resistant as I am and immmediatley seek help from someone else (2). I have been told that using phone aps cuts down on losses by volunteers who mishandle change (3) or put their own hands in the till (4). Seems to me a credit card reader might be OK, but that probably costs more and requires the school AV staff to set up for every game.

(1) Not to say that they are wrong in that assessment.
(2) Who probably had to ask their own kids to set up their phones and aps.
(3) I have encountered more and more clerks who are baffled by things like making change or accepting checks.
(4) At school events no less!

I think Chima is the first to make a regular season roster. Hawkins made some summer league rosters, but I'm not sure he even played in the summer league. He had injuries one summer. He played some NBA D-League or G-League games. He was on the Miami Heat roster and played a couple of preseason games before being cut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corey_Hawkins_(basketball)

My son the Gael thinks we need to go to a few games. Now if we can get the parking ap and ticket ap and....

Hopefully the team can keep it going for the next three games but the season is going to end like it began, with very tough games.

Article in the Bee this week about Sac. They have not trailed in a game this season. Tonight was no exception.

South Dakota State beat North Dakota State, 23-21, in Fargo.
