The Ags beat Fresno State 2-0 in their first game so they are now 1-2.

I'm seeing sports like Men's and Women's Soccer listed as being on both MW+ and ESPN+ in their composite schedule. Nothing posted for basketball yet.

My wife and I are taking a woodworking class that is on the PSU gameday so we'll miss the game live. I won't be checking scores or looking at posts on the forum so I can watch the game on replay once it's over without knowing the outcome.

The MW+ is also carrying the Olympic sports like soccer and volleyball etc but not every Olympic sports game. Some will be on ESPN+ as well or only on ESPN+. So it looks like it will be a mixed bag of networks in order to see everything.

Be sure to select UC Davis as your team when you sign up. I think some of the proceeds will benefit the Aggies then.

Ok, I finally found a work around that allowed me to sign in to the MW+ network after many attempts of getting a "wrong password" message and then going through the steps to reset it failed as well.

I decided to make up my own password using their password requirements instead of automatically allowing the creation of a new "Strong Password." That worked for whatever reason. Apparently, the MW+ website doesn't like the "Strong Passwords" words even though it contain all of their password requirements. The much "simpler" password that I created on my own worked though. Go figure...

FYI, the message I sent to MW+ support via their online, message chat bot was never answered.

I was thinking the same thing.

I subscribed on July 1st but can't login. I'm still waiting to hear back from the MW+ support...it's frustrating!

Were you able to watch the game on the MW+ network?

Hate losing to Sac in any sport. Looks like it was a typical rivalry game. The Ags had 11 fouls and 3 yellow cards and Sac had 7 fouls and 3 yellow cards.

Sac and the Aggies are tied 1-1 at the half.

I signed up for the MW+ on July 1st. So, a couple of days ago, I decided to login and watch some MW soccer matches just to get an idea of what the quality of the streaming was like and how it compared to the ESPN+ streaming that carried Aggie sports in the past before we joined the MWC.

Well, wouldn't you know it, I couldn't even login. My email showed up in the box for my account name and it directed me to add my password. So I did that but I kept getting an error message saying that the password is wrong. Finally, I reset the password several times using their instructions and got confirmation that the password had been reset successfully but I still got the same "wrong password" error message each time and could not login.

The only way I could find to contact MW+ support was to send them a message through their online chat bot. It told me that I would be contacted by support shortly but, until now, I haven't received any reply.

I hope this isn't a bad omen to what lies ahead for us using this new network!

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!

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.

What is the Tiger Team, Mike?

Wonderful interview and a great job by Anna. It's obvious that Kat Mertz embraces the values of Aggie Athletics and Savannah Cordero is a great example of the kind of athletes that UC Davis recruits. I think Mertz is going to be very successful in building the Women's Soccer program as we head into the Mountain West Conference.

:lol:

We have some very large, stately palm trees lining both sides of the street on a section of the street that I live on in the Land Park area of Sacramento. They were likely planted when the homes on this street were built in the early 1940's. These are huge palm trees with thick trunks not the thin, spindly ones you often see in tropical, coconut groves.

These palms are very tall and do not provide shade and the city trims the fronds on these palm trees on a regular basis. The big fronds do dry up and fall off at times and you wouldn't want to be the unlucky person to get hit by one. They are also home to owls and you can hear them heading out to hunt in the evenings. You can often see small bones on the ground around the base of the palms from their prey.

I believe they are considered "heritage trees" now which means that they cannot be cut down without approval since they are protected by the city because of their historical significance. Trees that are very large and meet or exceed certain size parameters are also protected as "heritage trees." Sacramento has one of the densest tree canopies in the country that currently covers 19% of the total land area of the city. The Sacramento Urban Forest Plan has a goal of 35% tree coverage by 1945.

Very large, old, coast redwood trees are quite common in the Land Park area and in the William Land Park as well but they rely on irrigation and are not considered a good trees for the valley heat. Other very large trees in the area are Deodar Cedar, Incense Cedar and various pines.

Deodar Cedars are mammoth trees that grow fast. Three of my neighbors have them and they are about 75 feet tall with trunks around 4-5 feet in diameter. One of my neighbors planted a redwood about 40 years ago and it is huge now.

I agree with the others here that palms are not a good tree for shade and, in many ways, seem out of place in northern California.

I thought he had graduated and his collegiate career was done. I wonder if we knew he would be granted a 5th year of eligibility? He was a solid player for us.

I hope we didn't lose him. This was posted on the UC Davis Facebook page back on May 18:
