    I speculate the police were called as Chima belted out a rendition of Bossy Cow Cow.

    Interesting. We referred to his Denver time as a "coaching assistant", Fresno says he was a "staff assistant". Big jump to become a DC.
  • Lady Bird - Sacto & UC Davis
    There was also a theme about her good natured, unemployed father who got an MBA at Davis if I recall. Sac from 30 years ago to today seems to have changed a lot, good and bad. Midtown seems hopping. Food scene better.

    I was surprised to see suburbs north of Sac with sketchy problems, homeless, shady people. Same thing in the Cal Expo area which seems nice, yet beggars on the boulevard. Perfectly suburban areas north of Sac, but I would read about crime on the light rail and friends warned against me taking it downtown. Their area seems like it used to be families, active, kids have grown and area aged? I wonder if Section 8 housing plays a role, some sketchy places near the local shopping area.

    My guess is that private industry hasn't brought enough high paying jobs. I hear Elk Grove, which boomed, brought SoCal problems north? My guess also is a segment on the left don't like the police or religion, so these are big changes. Traditional nuclear families less.

    I wandered into an area with expansive custom established homes, massive front lawns. ARC area? Really spectacular. Folsom seems great, people friendly, though some there said it was changing, complained that insular ethnic groups were coming in, not joining the wider community.

    He also coached in Austria, and a year with the NFL Denver Broncos.

    It seems like Biggs last few years we were slim at QB and Gould gambled with Lacy, then Laughrea. A 3rd and 4th string QB are gone, and we now have 1 stud and several young men with potential. Gould had lost the team before the last year. Hawk seems more like a CEO on gameday which is great if it works.

    San Jose looks like they were aweful last year, 2-9, 1 legit win, prime for an upset? Would be Uuge.
  • Lady Bird - Sacto & UC Davis
    Complex question, not just Davis. We've had a focus on girls for 2-3 decades, some argue we have marginalized boys, others say emasculated. Look at the downfall of smaller college football. More young men in prison, we import millions of people. Young men down in all kinds of areas, undergrad, grad, etc., most more than 50% women, and still special programs to recruit women, not men.
  • Toler back to Cal
    I will never understand we were battling SLO, at SLO, late in the game, defense hadn't stopped them all day, 4th and a few, and he chooses to punt.
  • Toler back to Cal
    Loading up with way more freshman O recruits is interesting when our D and maybe ST in need. Tucker had good results with some Juco D transfers last year. Outscore them, strong scout team, or both?
  • Toler back to Cal
    Understood, that's life. The coaches used to coach 2 teams... Bronzan, Moroski were around awhile... Speckman seems happy, a great place to cap a career and add a little pension for retirement. Success will help. Coaches can also supplement their off season with a little PT work. Dixon, Woodland probably
    1 /2 the price.
  • Toler back to Cal
    We compete well with FCS salaries.
  • Toler back to Cal
    I've read the current vacancy rate is .2 percent, ideal is 4-5%?

    Rumors of homeless students, but never have seen anything in the Davis Enterprise.
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    They got what they wanted, Bob Williams out.
  • QB Laughrea stars in AFL
    I think he came unglued at least once on the sidelines... and his twitter revealed he wasn't focused or serious.
  • Toler back to Cal
    Not Los Gatos or Palo Alto ... but are we in another bubble?
  • Toler back to Cal
    I saw an average home for sale for $1 Mill in Castro Valley, standard small plot.

    The Fresno Bee said the Bulldogs last DC made $300k a year. That probably goes a long way in Fresno.
  • Bert Watts Named Fresno State DC
    Fresno's Defensive improved -

    "..made big gains in sacks (tied for first [in league] with 2.4 per game, up from 11th with 1.2) tackles for loss (second with 6.4 per game, up from 11th with 4.7) and turnovers gained (fourth with 21, up from tied for 10th with nine)."
