Dr. May is a very impressive Chancellor. We're lucky to have him.

Hahahahah... Good one, DrMike!

What a wonderful story of determination and loyalty about Sean Harlston. Congratulations to his family for raising such a fine young man and teaching him values that will carry him successfully forward in his life. He's another perfect fit for the Aggie Athletics family.

The legal gray area you mentioned was agonizing for me and many of my colleagues. I've sat behind a closed door with some very scary people and it is unsettling to say the least and I worked a lot with people who have been the victims of violence. When I was first starting out it was hard for me not to take "work" home with me but, much like police officers, after a while you become less "shocked" by what you see and experience and focus on doing the best job you can to be of help given the circumstances.

The decisions by Les that you noted were masterful coaching. He's a great strategist of the game and has the experience to be able to make those great decisions in the heat of the moment.

I'm a retired mental health professional. Over the course of my career there were numerous times when I worked with individuals who were downright "scary" because of their mental health issues.

The California Tarasoff law requires psychotherapists and other mandated reporters to warn identifiable potential victims of a serious threat of harm and to notify the police of the same when the threat of violence is met under the guidelines of the Tarasoff law. I only had to do that twice in my career, but I can not tell you how many times someone "felt potentially dangerous" to me but the situation did not meet the all of the strict mandates of the Tarasoff law necessary for me to be able to break the legal confidentiality of the potential perpetrator.

Those cases were always the most stressful for me because there is a fine line between required reporting under Tarasoff and breaking the legal confidentiality of the potential perpetrator. Thank god I never woke up and opened the paper with a headline about a client of mine having committed some heinous crime but there were times I worried that that was a real possibility.

Perhaps I am jaded because of my professional experiences but there are a lot of people out there that live on the edge of potential violence. The fuse is already lit and has been simmering for a long time. It's just matter of if and when they might explode. If that happens and, especially if they have access to assault weapons, it can be potentially horrendous. There are red flags but, unfortunately, no sure way of predicting such violence.

Thin Blue Line

So it was the "take the wife to a Mexican restaurant after halftime jinx" that did us in!

The refs were calling it very tight. I don't like it when the refs let players mug each other but lots of ticky tack touch fouls that do not create any disadvantage to the "offended" player is just as bad. The thing I really did not like about this crew was that they were calling fouls on players making incidental contact on husltle plays scrambling after 50-50 balls on the floor. That penalizes effort and it's unnecessary.

I like the fight we are getting from the team. We were in both of these road games right up to the final seconds against two very good teams. I also thought Jim Les did a great job of coaching throughout both games mixing up the defenses, subbing in and out for offense/defense and managing the clock. Unfortunately, the Ags have little to show for their efforts in the win column...we just might be the best 4-12 team in the nation...

I know exactly what you mean, 69aggie. I worked for nearly 12 years in Davis right after I graduated. I spent most of those years living in Sac and commuting to Davis because my wife and I could afford a our first house in Sac and she worked at the Med Center so one of us was going to commute. It was and still is a wonderful town.

The shooter was suffering from a delusional mental illness from what I have read. The big question is why did he have a gun(s) and where did he get the murder weapon? If there is a true "national emergency" in America, it's the amount of gun violence and mass murders we have but the urgency of that issue mostly gets buried under the table. Sorry, probably too political for this forum but, honestly, when is something significant going to be done to help prevent more murders by guns in America?

Ags lose 82-77. The Ags lost this game in the first 2 minutes of the second half when they turned the ball over 4 straight times and LB scored 9 straight points to take the lead and never look back. The Beach scored 31 points off our TO's = ballgame....

The other big stat was that 4 Ags fouled out which led to LBSU scoring 32 of 42 from the line. Les needs to recruit for more length and athleticism so we can compete with athletic teams. Overall, we're too small and too slow against quick, athletic teams that have length.

Game ball goes to Joe Mooney who scored a career hight 29. Welcome back Joe we've missed ya!

Goode fouls out with 7:47 to go on a ticky tack touch...

All the Aggie bigs are in foul trouble down 46-42 with 11:39 to go.

My God...the Ags come out in the second half and turn the ball over 4 straight times and LB scores 9 points off our TO's to take the lead...what an awful 2 minutes of basketball by the Ags!

Great half by the Ags. You can see Joe's confidence growing. He's been frustrated this season and now he's starting to shine. Go Ags!

That has to be a glitch with ESPN3. I've never seen an ESPN3 game where there is no clock or score box on the screen.

The last time I checked the score the Ags were up by 9 56-47 with 7:26 to go and they end up getting beat 65-60 so they only scored 4 points the rest of the game...wow...

I watched one Hawaii possession while the Ags were up 9. The Ags threw a soft, telegraphed pass that got picked off and then Hawwii missed a 3. Three Aggies stood absolutely flat-footed and watched the ball since no Hawaii players were immediately around them but, guess what, a Hawaii players raced in while the Ags stood there motionless and the Hawaii player snatched the ball.

When I saw that I thought the Ags may be up 9 but they could lose this game playing with that kind of lack of focus and energy. I don't think Jen Gross will be happy at all with that kind of play from the Ags.

53-47 Aggies with 7:32 to go.

No score, game time or shot clock on the screen of the ESPN3 broadcast. Makes it really hard to know what going on while watching the game...
