  • Scouting the Cal Bears
    Wasn't it Weber a few years ago that gave Cal everything they could handle? As i recall, Cal had to come back from being down.
  • Preseason All-Big Sky Team and Polls
    Great accolades for the program, but I think I would rather be rated lower down the list and prove them wrong.
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    Any updates on the Band-uh status? They will be worth a TD at Cal.

    Maier’s pass-catching corps will have much to prove in the wake of Doss’ departure, but it still features two key pieces that have the skillset to keep things rolling. Junior wideout Jared Harrell was the Aggies’ second-leading receiver in 2018, catching 62 passes for 896 yards and 5 touchdowns. He’ll be complemented by senior tight end Wes Preece, who had a breakout sophomore year in 2017 and tied Doss with nine receiving touchdowns last year.
  • Tailgate/season pass renewal

    I think athletics did a good job utilizing the available footprint. I hope they have a plan for a gathering place for the students, which i did not see addressed in the press release.
  • The Fate of the Grad
    Back in the day my roommates and I carved the Krebs cycle onto one of the wooden tables. Back then they allowed carvings on the tables

    As for Cal tix, haven't heard a thing - was nosing around online but am still looking for the Aggie Pack, wherever they might be.AggieFinn

    They are available on the Cal site. At some point, I am sure athletics will link it from our football schedule page.

    "Bringing both of these teams to Torero Stadium will be exciting for our players, our coaches and our fans," said McGillis. "We have one of the best venues for college football at San Diego and we are excited to continue competing against top-notch programs from outstanding universities."

    And as Mike said, this is always a scary game. But I feel much better about it under Hawk.

    Just booked my flights for the SD game. Alaska has some dynamite deals at the moment.
  • Athlon Preseason Top 25
    In my honest opinion I think the Aggies will be just fine. Hawkins and company have been doing very well in recruiting since they came in. I think Harrell will be ready to take over WR1 from Doss.

    I absolutely agree, but I worry about the big hits he takes. He got leveled at Ew.
  • Bear on Campus
    Some years ago there was a mountain lion south of the airport. They get here via the putah creek riparian habitat.
  • Tailgate/season pass renewal
    I’m assuming the Team Aggie tent is moving over to Lot 56. It won’t be consolidated as before, but it will work

    That’s what I was told, lot 56. Seems like parking is going to be tighter.
  • Athlon Preseason Top 25
    If we had home field we might have won that game.Riveraggie

    Agreed. I went to the first EW game. Frankly, I don't care to go back. It was freezing cold on those metal bench seats with that north wind coming out of Canada, and the fans were not so nice. I sat with a fella that sits behind me at the home games. I thought he was going to end up in a fist fight with the EW fan to his right. And I am not crazy about their coach. But give them credit, they can play football.
  • Athlon Preseason Top 25
    3 vs 5 is is not much of a difference,Riveraggie
    True, especially this early. But I was surprised to see EW at #7. I think that is what caught my eye. And to be honest, it might be better for the Aggies to be lower on the list. Teams like to get up for games when it appears they are the underdogs.
  • Tailgate/season pass renewal

    And what's cool about this is each tailgate spot is 30' long and additionally you get the real estate next to your spot on the stadium side. Finn and I have the premier location with lawn and shade trees included in our spot. But wait, there's more. Each tailgate spot will include (drum roll please) a first of its kind UC Davis Aggie shade structure!! Since Finn and I are sharing the same spot, we will be arm wrestling to see who keeps the shade structure. Finn, you better start lifting iron!
  • Athlon Preseason Top 25
    The top 5 on the Athlon ranking looks more realistic to me then HERO.
  • Start Time for the 2019 Opener at Cal Is Set
    I like the 330 start time. Should be home by 8pm to celebrate the victory :).
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    Look at the Katehi situation. The Bee will not let it rest. We have not heard (or read) the last of this.
  • Bad press for the Band-Uh!
    I hold the Band-uh in high esteem. They have always represented a special part of UC Davis in my mind. Being such a public and visible organization, they need to keep their house "cleaner" then the general student population.

    What does their org chart look like? I assume there are student leaders with administrative oversight? Is there a code of ethics beyond the principles of community for the Band-uh? And if road trips are not a sanctioned school activity, I am not sure how you can police that. Making good choices as an adult which are consistent with your personal values will keep you out of trouble. For example, if getting into a co-ed hot tub drunk and naked is not within your comfort zone, stay out of the hot tub!
  • Life without Keelan Doss

    I really like Jared Harrel. He has great hands and good moves. With Doss out of the mix, Harrel might be a star.
