A Utah Statesman article is reporting that UC Irvine is at Utah State on November 9th. It was previously reported that the Aggies were playing at USU on November 9th. So, at this point, I don't don't know if the paper made a mistake and the Ags are at USU or the previous report was wrong and Irvine is at USU on November 9th.

I wonder if Dixon felt like he may not get that much playing time right away with Gilliam and Larison ahead of him?

That's really too bad. He seemed like he was very talented and a great student as well.

UC Santa Barbara has released their 2021-22 schedule. The Aggies will play in the Thunderdome on January 22 and the Gauchos will come to Davis on February 24.

Corey Hawkins to be inducted into the Aggie Athletics Hall of Fame

Kevin Blue did not "leave very abruptly." He gave months of notice.

His integrity was beyond question and he did as much, if not more, than any AD that I can remember to elevate the entire athletics program during his tenure. You can be assured that none of this baseball stuff was happening on his watch and, if it did, he knew nothing at all about it.

Great game. France is a really good basketball team and they had beat the Americans in their first game. Outstanding Gold Medal for the Americans and it didn't come easy. The rest of the world is producing a lot of great talent and playing at a much higher level than in years past.

I was wrong about the Ags playing PSU. They are actually hosting the Portland Pilots on 12/22.

The Ags will host the Portland Pilots on 12/22. There is no game scheduled with Portland State at this point.

That's interesting, Mike. It's obvious that Les has made a statement about his players testing the waters for a bigger stage: "If you aren't 100% committed to being an Aggie and want to see if there is something bigger out there, then don't bother to try and come back if it doesn't pan out." That may be harsh but it does say something about the team culture and the commitment to the program that he expects from his players.

We aren't that big but I like our athleticism and depth. I'd rather have players that may not be that tall but have good leaping ability, are quick and play taller than their size.

We're a predominately young team and I like the talent we have coming in. Hopefully, Milling will be able to step right in and Debruhl looks like he can light it up from beyond the arc. Lose and Niles are both very athletic also. It's going to be a fun team to watch this year.

I agree, Obda. The home schedule is much more interesting than normal. I'm looking forward to this season. I think we will have quite a bit of depth and will be significantly improved this year.

The Aggies will travel to Corvallis to play Oregon State this fall TBA:

Condolences to the family and many friends of longtime college and NFL coach Greg Knapp. Knapp, 58, who died Thursday due to massive injuries suffered in a bicycle accident on July 17 near his Danville residence.

Knapp was cycling within the bike lane when he was hit by a car and never regained consciousness.

I like what I see in that highlight video. He has a great 3 point shot and can hit it with a defender in his face while he's falling away. He sees the floor well and makes terrific passes on the fly. He's going to be fun to watch over the next 4 years.
