Wow...I'm not sure many people saw that coming. The article says that this season "wore on him" and that he's stepping away to "recharge." Sounds like he's simply ready to step away from all the stress and pressure of the job. He's only 55 and has enough money to last several lifetimes so why not take some time and enjoy his family and the good life in general.

Hahaha...funny story...it's true though about how big sports are for the students at Big 10 schools. My wife is a Michigan alum but she's pretty tame when it comes to sports...

At some point Davis or Sac is going to become the big dog in the greater Sacramento area. The Sacramento area is growing like crazy and it is hungry for a competitive D1 football program on a bigger stage. One that can compete regularly with the likes of Nevada and Fresno and eventually even bigger programs. I hope we'll be that program and, if we are, we'll most definitely need a bigger stadium.

I just watched Sac give #21 Colorado one heck of a game. They lost 59-45 but they were only down 5 with 5 minutes or so to go in the game. Their defense was frustrating the Buffalos. That was their first loss of the season and they're 4-1 now.

Deleted...wrong thread...

Svanholm looks very agile for a 6'6 post. I think Jen will be able to have Stobbart at the high post with her good outside shot and Svanholm at the low post. Stobbart doesn't appear to ver all that comfortable under the basket which is surprising given how highly rated she was when Jen recruited her.

That's for sure! She's got a project on her hands right now. This team looks to be a middle of the conference team at this point.

The Vikings were the better defensive team today and that was the difference. The Aggies are going to have trouble with any teams who have a size advantage especially in the post.

16 pre-conference games and only 4 of them at home and 2 of those 4 being NAIA teams is a terrible out-of-conference schedule. The 9 road games in a row just make it worse. Les told me that teams simply won't come to Davis so this is what we get. Les wants to play the area WCC teams on a home and home basis but they aren't interested for the most part. He would even like to play Sac twice each year but Katz doesn't want to. I'm not sure there's anything we can do about it except hit the road for some decent competition.

It boggles my mind that teams will go Pacific (10 of their 16 pre-conference games are at home) but won't come to Davis and even Pacific is not really interested in playing the Ags. Sucks!

Last year's schedule was much tougher and it didn't pay us any dividends. This year's schedule seems just about right to me. I see no reason that we shouldn't be recruiting as well and competing well against WCC teams.

I've been waiting for Pepper to emerge. His brother is an outstanding high school player and I hope Les will consider recruiting him as well.

I saw that and, the thing that is even more astonishingly poor judgment, is that the player was repeating the stupid TD celebration that another Ole Miss player had done that originally in 2017. Stupidity breeds stupidity.

We've had a couple of good halves against good competition but we need some wins. It's easy for a team to get demoralized when they continue to lose even though they may be playing good basketball. Time for some W's.

Aggies make a great fight of it but lose 77-73. Really nice second half of basketball against another Pac12 team. This team is starting to find their identity and chemistry on the floor. I'm looking forward to seeing how this team continues to progress.

The game will be at 6 pm PST and will be aired on the Pac12 Network. Scott Marsh will call the radio PBP on KHTK 1140 AM also.

Go Ags!

Yikes, lightening and metal seat would make for an electric chair experience!

I thought Monson went to law school and Tyler Ott was the only other Mormon kid I player I can remember who left but he was only 6'5. Ott was here in 2012-13 after serving a mission. He only played in 4 games as an Aggie and then transferred to Utah Valley and played in 13 games in 2015-16 averaging 2.2 ppg. He transferred again to Dixie State and was on their roster for 2017-18.

Pretty nice stadium.

Whose ballpark is this one?

Well that makes two defections recently. I hope it's the last one. Click on the image for to read the full tweet:
