When UCLA was started as a campus they intentionally preferenced the initials over the full name because they didn’t want to be thought of as a branch of UC Berkeley. To this day they still stress using UCLA for most usages. As you say most people don’t get the connection to the UC system, or care. Mission accomplished.

My error. The top recruiting target in the 2024 class was the tight end they lost to Cal, but got as a transfer from the portal.
At linebacker the 2025 recruiting prospects are Cory McEnroe who was second on the depth chart at an inside linebacker, and Christian Knoos who didn't play due to a hip injury.

Are you a vegetarian? How about the Davis beefeaters?

The banana slugs have unique.

That sounds like the guy.

He mentioned someone in addition to Hennessy. But the name in the transcript doesn’t match anyone

Plough mentioned a true freshman wide receiver they think highly of. The transcript didn’t catch the name correctly and thought it was Sevelli or something like that. I think it was likely Parnell. Did you catch the name? Parnell is an interesting case, nationally known high school, impressive list of offers and no stars.

Not really. Mentioned tthe Mormon on a mission, and the new recruit from Idaho being injured in his last high school game as leading to need to add a qb.

Sylvester only played in five games last year and rushed for just over 300 yards. Why didn’t he play more? New coaching staff coming in at Weber, they had 20+ players in the portal.

Never got the episode to play but was able to read the transcript. Plough conveys excitement about the team. He is really high on the transfers. Said that two of our top recruits last year, Totten and Knoos were still recovering from ACL and hip injury respectively, which contributed to them looking to the portal for a safety and linebacker. Said the transfer tight end was their top rated recruiting target in 2024 class, so excited. High on the transfer running back as a complement to Fisher. Stressed that the QB transfer is not looking for a temporary spot and is willing to put in the work and compete here. Says defensive line has good depth. Said Biggs is working with Axel Eason. Said new special teams coach Cody vonAppen committed long term to coach special teams. Said they were still trying to get two recruits to sign

UCLA was branded when there was still a distinction between a college and a university. Now university in the label says nothing, it’s a waste of space. The CA logo conveys both California and Aggies. Davis should be the name of the school. Like Cal, Stanford. And the majority of schools that are known by their place name.or single word.

Oregon reportedly offered him as a transfer. He was a sought after HS recruit class of 24., Would have been a top recruit for Davis. He could easily end up the number 2 back.

Teams need a logo for a lot of uses and the CA logo is a good one and it ties to our nick name of Aggies and script Davis doesn’t.
Put the script Davis on the uniforms in place of UC Davis, drop UC, it puts the school at the bottom of alphabetical lists. Everyone claims to be a university but they don’t all squeeze it into their name. Just redundant.

An aggiepridepodcast subscription is required for this episode. Its only available on spotify so far.. Unfortunately i set my authentication for the spotify account associated with the aggie pride subscription to use an apple digital keychain so I can’t try another non-apple device.

The new Aggie Pride podcast says they “hope” to fix it this evening.
It does require a subscription. The only device i have associated with the subscription is an iphone.

Same here as far as playing today’s podcast on spotify, gets error when loading

The new episode only is listed on Spotify. The aggiepridepodcast.com, youtube, apple podcast don’t list the newest one.

Eli Simonson started the first college game he ever appeared in, he never saw action at Nebraska. You might say he redshirted elsewhere, but I think you meant they needed a year in the system, or played at this level or higher. Going back a few years Jake Parks started as a true freshman here.

[ or an inside linebacker.

This years transfers are all underclassmen, quite a change from recent years. The two FCS transfers have significant playing experience, the FBS transfers are redshirt freshmen. The tight end from Cal was one of Davis’ offers in 2025.
Correction,: Hayden John is a senior. He never redshirted and played in five games one year.

Minnesota is on the semester system. I suspect he’ll be here.
