None. They will excel in the classroom because that is what Hornets do.

None of them. They will go to Sac State.

:rofl:

Conference names used to mean something. Admitting UC Davis makes a mockery of mountains everywhere.

Politics, politics, politics

They will be tough enough to beat UC Davis soundly, as these types of games go. Tougher than Cal to be sure. I'm going to guess Davis loses 63-10.

It's a good thing they will have a new BB arena. Shaq won't fit into The Nest.

It's huge. When I walked around in the neighborhood , I could still see it from 5-6 blocks away in any direction I went.

A tip for anyone going to the game-: you can save on parking by taking public transit; Seattle's is very good. The lightrail drops you off across the street. Hope you like escalators.

The Seattle Mariners are on the road the day before + after the football game but on 9/8 they host the St. Louis Cardinals. On 9/7 the Seahawks host the 49ers in a day game, so you can get your sports fix if you're one of those Aggie fans who has seemingly unlimited free time and funds to make these trips.

Lightrail goes to both the Mariners' and Seahawks' stadiums (same stop). There's a few blocks to walk, but just follow the long line of people and you should pass Ken Griffey Jr. on a warehouse wall along the way.

Nor should there be any. When he came to Davis it was understood he would be a junior transfer.

From the ucdavisaggies.com bio

"Tamba will join the Aggies program as a junior in 2023-24…"

He completely fulfilled that 2-year commitment. Just because some recent football players have enjoyed sticking around for 5-6 (7?) years doesn't mean every successful UCD student-athlete has to spend any extra eligibility in Davis.

I wasn't a student-athlete, but I was definitely ready to be done with the place during senior year.

We tend to look back on our time in college with rose-colored glasses, but that is inspired somewhat by the comparitively less fun experience of real adult responsibilities. It's easy to forget the things about the UCD experience that maybe weren't fantastic. Don't blame him for moving on.

Politics.

How about that-a guy surnamed Davis arrested for a shooting in Davis ?

That sounds about right. When will caterers learn that tri-tip is not fancy dinner food ? It's for barbecues and also sandwiches at the horribly named Jack's Urban Eats. Apparently Jack's vision was to sell boring salads to customers who found the continued bastardization of the language cute. Actually the catering you described sounds a bit like Jack's. If you're going to put tri-tip on a menu you might as well add hot dogs too.

What you described still sounds better than a benefit dinner I once attended. I wasn't expecting fancy, but when I arrived before the stated arrival time I found out the only dinner options were heavy pasta dishes, and that no beverages of any kind were included in the price. None of this was disclosed beforehand. I left without saying anything before it started, and I hope they enjoyed the donation. It was a buffet-style dinner, so I'm sure someone else ate my food. It was a learning experience.

I think one reason they don't share the menus for these functions ahead of time is to keep interested parties from bailing if they don't like the options. It's not enough to simply donate. You need to be there so they can soak you through auctions, and coaches can subtly convince you to give them money through perceived accessibility.

It's pretty impressive that you were successfully able to deliver food to the Rec Hall with no incidents. The campus has ever so many buildings it can use to host a dinner, and they had to choose the one with more ramps + steps than they know what to do with. It must have been a very large function.

They should invite Cal State San Bernadino so people can get CSUSB and UCSB confused.

Not to mention concession workers who at least try to act interested in their work. The older workers (supervisors ?) tend to be significantly more enthusiastic. Too.many bored students though.

The space isn't really that welcoming either. I haven't seen much of an effort to draw in customers, a lack of signs near the entrance for example. A person attending their first game wouldn't immediately know where to get food, especially if they have a lower-level seat. A lot of room for improvement.

Idiots, Idiots, Idiots

I'm going to the game at Sonoma State !

Good luck with the survey !

Marcus is an athletic and explosive guard who can impact the game on both ends of the floor,"

I should hope so ! Who needs a guard who can only impact it on one end of the floor ?

That said, impressive group of recruits. Are people still clamoring for Les' ouster here?

Those stars mean considerably less once the player has spent a year at college. The stars are the new, still in the original package collectible value.

Hopefully she will be able to play abroad again very soon (not in Russia). Pro sports teams judge you pretty heavily on what you've done most recently + not your entire body of work. She's not getting any younger.

Hopefully his sports career will be drug-free, unlike his old man's.
