No Delveion Jackson today either. Ags have only 9 players suited up.

33-23 Aggies at the half.

Chima is in street clothes. Logan Strom has a cast on his left forearm. Could be the smallest crowd of the season.

66-56 final.

56-39 Aggies after 3 quarters

40-25 Aggies at the half.

Ags hold Irvine to 14% shooting in the first quarter and lead 20-6

What a great gesture!

I hope so but I doubt it. I think that the question will be asked and the reply will be that it's out of Coach Les' hands and the university is handling the process. Same-o, same-o...

Looking at the recap of the 3-2 loss to #13 Stanford, it looks like two costly throwing errors did us in and, that otherwise, we were right there all the way with The Cardinal.

So even though Irvine beats SB by 20 at home, I think our 17 point win at SB on the road is even more impressive. I think you'd have to favor Irvine at home against the Ags but the Aggies have been so surprising since the Moneke suspension that I wouldn't bet against them. This team has perhaps more heart than any Aggie team I have ever seen.

What Grand Canyon is doing in their athletics programs as a for profit university is controversial for sure but many of their supporters say that what they are only doing what many of the other college elite power programs have been doing secretly for years. I don't like the idea of massive sums of private and corporate money pouring into Grand Canyon's athletics program at such a meteoric pace. We all know that the "win at any cost" mind set has been tied to numerous scandals and sanctions at the top level of college athletics over the years.

College athletics based on a "corporate greed" philosophy is just a huge conflict of interest for me compared to an academics first model of athletics like ours.

I hope so too. I like these games a lot. The last time we played down there in the old stadium they blew us out 52-3..I think, but I believe that 10,000 Aggies fans made the trip..?? Sorry, at my age the mind starts getting fuzzy and may even make things up!

Anyway, these are games that Aggie fans will travel to in groves and, if we have improved significantly by then, we could have a really big following on hand. The Aggies will be fired up big time and could make the game interesting for a while at least or maybe even who knows what could happen. Big paycheck, lots of Aggie fan interest and just down the road...there's a lot to like about these games if we come away healthy.

I heard Les say "he would be calling" but he was not referring to the Moneke situation. I thought Scott had said, "TJ should be the Player of the Week in the Big West" and Les' response was, "If he isn't, I'll be calling." I hope you heard him say something in regards to Chima though. All this waiting is getting old.

It's the Wild, Wild Big West!

How can any Aggie, who is old enough to remember, ever forget his deep 3 with time running out that won the D2 National Championship in 1998?

Yes, he has been in street clothes on the bench at the home games but is not traveling with the team.

Yes, he's been on the bench and was even at the end of the starting 5 introduction line embracing each player as they got announced. Les has said they want to support him and keep him in contact with his teammates during the review process.

It seems that the infraction of "rules" is something more than a coaching decision but less than something criminal. The longer this goes on the more it sucks big time.

Still a pretty good start to the season and, hopefully, we'll be able to keep the bats alive.

I would presume that suspended from the team does not mean he is suspended from school. I think he is still attending classes and we've seen him with the team at home games. I don't think we would see him at the games with the team if he was suspended from school.
