Colorado has wins over:

Montana State 84-78
Eastern Washington 102-97 in OT
Providence 97-88
Alabama State 94-66

Dan Connors became the winningest volleyball coach in Aggie history.

Ags lose 70-45. The Ags shot 22% including 7-29 from 3. Ryan Bennett led the Ags with 19.

I switched over to watch the volleyball team against CSUN. The Ags drops the first set, won the second and then won the third in a nail biter 29-27. Tough match in the 4th set now.

The Ags are much better than this. This is not the usual Stanford powerhouse team either. The Ags rushed their shots when they got an open look and missed badly on most of them. We needed someone to step up and play with confidence but no one did. The Aggie top 4 scorers are a combined 3-23 including 2-17 from 3.

23-11 Stanford with 5:52 to go in the 2nd Q. Ags are 1-14 from 3...yikes...

Our defense has been pretty good. Offense, not so much...shooting 14% including 0-8 from 3. We've had the looks but the shots have been way off.

Anyone have any idea about which projects will break ground first and how soon that might be?

I thought about that. I wonder how much earlier that area will actually be shaded. The west side seats are hot until the shade comes. Can't imagine how it feels for the students, the band and the visitors on the west side when its hot and the sun is in their eyes.

It's great that they addressed adding shade to baseball, soccer and softball but I don't see anything new about shade at the football stadium. Heat is a big problem in the stadium and, at times, even in the late games. The heat on the east side of the field is particularly brutal since they don't get any relief from the sun until it pretty much sets.

The crowd looked really small well into the first half of the Idaho game but , when I went up to the concession area, I saw that lots of people were crowded around in the shaded areas and that was a 4 pm start in November! I'm not sure what they can do in the stadium to create more shade but it's a real problem because the lots of people simply won't come to a game if they're going to have to sit in the sun and get fried.

I saw where some Sac fans think the Big Sky has it out for them and the $2,500 fine that Ford got shows there is a double standard when it come to Sac because Marion got fined $10,000 for speaking out about the officials. The real difference here is that Ford criticized the officials for one play and Marion essentially criticized all of the Big Sky officials and when he implied that the "Big Sky officials are willfully targeting Sac." Ford criticized the catch and he was right about the missed call but Marion said the Big Sky Conference was biased against Sac. That's a big difference and, hence, the difference in the size of the fines.

I'm curious to see how Esso-Essis does too. He's still in a big boot so I wonder if, at some point, he'l take a medical redshirt year.

So the main concourse will be facing west? Will that be the home side? That side is totally in the sun. I’m a bit confused on the layout. — agalum

Me too. They say "west facing" but does that mean it faces to the west or that this is the west face of the addition? I think it means that we are looking at the "west face" of the new additions but I'm not 100% sure. I'd like to see a schematic drawing of the whole stadium showing exactly where everything will be located once it is finished.

Sac put the cart before the horse and then the horse ran away.

Me too. I'd really like to see this game.

I feel like this win is an early watershed moment for this team. They now know that they can compete with teams on the level of Nevada. I've seen us play good teams like this in the past where we stayed in the game for a while but faded down the stretch but this team has the depth to keep competing for a whole 40 minutes and that's a huge step forward for us to be able to compete with a higher level of competition.

Did the report say that all of these projects would be competed within 8 years?

From Bob Dunning's "The Wary One" Substack column:

“They are such a great ball team, and I thank our coaches for having us ready to play,” said Cooper, whose incredible stat line along with those 26 points included 8 of 10 on field goals, 3 of 4 on treys, four rebounds, four assists and three steals.

“The hardest thing to do in basketball is to go on the road and get a win, especially against an opponent like Nevada,” Cooper added.

Aggie head coach Jim Les praised his team’s resilience and its ability to match the Pack shot for shot down the stretch.

“We had a next play mentality tonight,” said Les.

“We just stayed with it and Nevada was never able to get any separation.”

The Aggie coach also had praise for Cooper.

“He just brings his lunch pail to practice every day and works so hard, and tonight he made a three in the guts of the game,” said Les.

Nevada coach Steve Alford gave credit where credit was due.

“It was a hard fought game between two pretty even teams but they did a lot better job in the last five minutes,” said Alford.

“They made better plays offensively at the end and better plays defensively.”

Rocak was thrilled with his crucial trey near the end, saying “It’s a shot I work on a lot in practice. My teammates and my coaches are always telling me to take it, so that gives me confidence. Thanks to them, I was able to knock it down. It was an amazing win for us. We knew the game was over when Connor went to the free throw line at the end. We’re going to enjoy it tonight and then it’s back to business to get ready for Colorado.”
