Poor sac must be very upset with this. Have they ever tried for BW membership? Their travel cost must be off the charts.

Mean but true.

Or maybe nini is just stepping up>

CSUs say OK to UCSD, if OK to Bakersfield. That simple. But is this conference getting too big? Maybe not if almost all the teams are 2 hours apart.

Ps. If they add a lightweight team (<130) they will get a huge amount of interest and participants which is I think what they need for TIX issues.

Go to FAQ at UCD website and you can voted for a team. I think rowing is a no brainer, but the parents and fans are going to have to step to the plate as this an expensive sport. Hope they didn’t sell the boats!

Aggies to add new women’s sport in 2018!

Due to title IX issues UC Davis must add a woman’s sport in 2018. And per UCD release it must be primarily privately funded. Very complex process in place to decide on what sport will be added due to a judicial settlement a few years back- yes women’s wrestling rears it pretty head again. But it wont be women’s wrestling this time. About the only teams we don’t field at this time are rowing and beach volleyball. Of course, we could be like Stanford and have squash, fencing etc. we probably still have the shells for rowing, but its a very expensive sport. Would the parents be willing to kick in enough to get it off the ground? If not its beach volleyball. Ugg!

I think Dani may be hurt a little or is just not feeling well. Not herself at all. She’ll be back in no time. That is a lot of travel time and Seattle is a good team. Very good win indeed.

There are zones and then zones. Very difficult to play a good zone at this level, but Washington’s was good, very good. According to les, BW plays very little zone D.

Interesting that the story implies that the CSUs were against this. I guess they just don’t want to be outvoted by the UCs. Hawai’i is a different story. Why would they care and where would they go if they left? After pacific left I bet the BW conference rues the day it let the Aggies in because of the travel issues in coming to davis which is not the case with the other BW schools. No, you don’t get to sleep in your own beds When you travel to play the Aggies. Maybe this is a reason to consider Sac. As the BW is totally too SoCal focused.

I have family Boise St. fans here in sonoma for the holidays and they are driving all their way to Fresno for this game tomorrow! I cannot believe it- maybe a 3+ drive. And then back? Should I take back everything bad I ever said about Telford? I think maybe I should. What a turnaround. . .

Movie you are right. We already have those guys is place. We just need a leader. Maybe tucker. . . .

Plus Speed D maybe a scheme that has real legs at least for college football because so-called Optimum D1 size and speed is achievable by very very few teams. Sustainable “new schemes” are few and far between. Recall (or read for you young guys) Red Hickie’s original “shotgun offense” he designed for the 49ers back in the day- every eligible receiver was spread out. Brodie and the Niners were unstoppable until its flaws were discovered- it was very susceptible to blitzes form the outside. It disappeared in its original form. I would give coach tucker a ticket to Pullman and money to take Grinch out to lunch. This defense might really be the answer for us.

Any news/pics of the LaRue Field upgrades?

Does this guy have an assistant we can hire? One of the reasons for this scheme is that WSU could not recruit the “normal” PAC 12 defensive player against the competition. Sound familiar? I know coach Hawk loves his DC, but look, our D was horrible this year. He has to go.

And the young kids are very tough as well. Did you see when Emma Gibbs got man handled in the front court and she gave it right back. Yep, she was called for a foul, but the point is she was NOT intimidated! She going to be very good. I guess the new Canadian gal will RS. I hear she is tough as nails. Maybe the next Morgan?

Yes, best game of the year against a not so bad tiger team. Cierra and Nina are the future of this team and it showed tonight. The future is good!

These rankings can be easily manipulated. Take the USnews; it can take “reputation” and do pretty much anything it’s wants with that. Also, alumni “support”? What the hell does this have to do with the academics? Plus, we all know automatically it ranks all “privates” higher than the rest. But WSJ may be off as well. They don’t rank “reputation” and this is good because its so subjective, but it ranks “publications cited” or something similar and that’s where UCSD is going. It hires a prof out of Harvard with a lot of publications and magically gets credit for all his publications. Back in the day UCSD hired the “surfing Professor” who got a Nobel for some gene thing he discovered; but he was absolutely a TERRIBLE professor and the kids hated his guts. (My Nephew went there). I am sure there are teams of experts who advise on this stuff. I think we had to fire someone back in the day who just forgot to submit the right stuff to USNews. We dropped out of all the rankings that year. Not good!

It is not widely known, but the GOP tax bill will eliminate the 80% deduction for ticket purchasers. Maybe not for us, but this is a very very big deal for the major football conferences like the SEC, Big 10 etc. ironically many if not most conferences affected are in trump states.

Then we would have won!! Easy as that. And yes, we have all committed a lot of turn overs in our lives and would like to have them back. Someone a lot smarter than me once said sports are actually a very true metaphor for life. I certainly committed a lot of turnovers in mine. Sadly, no replays please.
