Unfortunately, it looks like extra subscription fees.

these days, its damn near impossible to figure out what the NCAA may or may not do!

That's funny. I'm still undefeated as a tomato selector at the grocery store thanks to my experience on the harvester. My wife will tell me when she wants it ripe by and I can make the right choice accordingly

You’re missing a lot of things. He has an agent, his signing was announced by WSU, etc.

Carol Rische 1978-83 holds the WBB rebounding record at 1028. Rische (1980) also holds the top spot in season rebound per game at 11.3, while Lisa Jo Kellog (1991) has the most rebounds in a season at 301.

After today, Norris is at 924 career rebounds, averaging 12.3 rpg., 270 for the season thus far. The way she's been playing, Megan could own all three records by the end of the season.

Not sure what the Big West records are since the record book hasn't been updated since July 2022. That's pretty lame.

I’ve been watching Sevilla brothers in the EBAL for many years. His parents are really nice people, and Connor is a kid anybody can root for!

His older brother is now at Idaho. His oldest brother was at Sonoma State and younger brother is tearing it up as a junior at Daugherty Valley

Langhi came from Mitty, which definitely produces some outstanding players. But it isn't a share-the-ball, relationship based program, like Gross runs here at UCD. I think she expected to be an immediate impact player. I thought that her social media posts showed some immaturity as well.

Bennett and Sussex were also from top programs, where they were each the featured player, which Langhi wasn't at Mitty - probably the 3rd or 4th option there. Ryann and Avery have made / are making the adjustment and continue to evolve together. Sussex and Langhi had similar freshman year experiences. Sussex embraced the challenge, while Langhi seemed frustrated by the expectation to share the ball, play team defense and grow into her role. whatever that might become. At least that's how it seemed from the stands.

Langhi's stats on 2 weak teams at CUSB kind of bear out that she hasn't become the kind of player that she thought she was coming out of high school. Had she adapted and stayed, who knows what she might have been.

I’m not a fan how coach Les talks/yells at the players sometimes. We are up and about to win with final seconds left and he was still fuming and swearing.
It seems like the players were zoning out when he acts that way.
I get he is passionate and wants to win but I am not of big fan of that kind of behavior.

he definitely had a ‘representative’ helping with his transfer

Great local knowledge, I love that! I actually worked on a tomato harvester part time one summer. Romas for canning have a low bar when it comes to quality control, at least back in the 1980s. Thanks for sharing, I enjoy acquiring trivial knowledge.

I agree with you man. If I was 20 I’m taking the cash. Like I said before, in this shit economy you have Harvard guys that are unemployed. It’s not 20 years ago. Rooting for the kid and hope he has a Cam Ward trajectory, that would look really nice for Plough and serve as a nice recruiting pitch. I’ll absolutely be tuning into a Wazzu game or two pulling for the kid.

If we were the Crushers, maybe we rotate logos... Merlots, Cabs, Zins...

His choice is rational, he might bounce next year, too. He may have a possible CFL career if the long shot NFL doesn't work.

the short answer is yes with regard to basketball. My conversations I’ve had UCSD is way ahead of the rest of the league with their basketball fundraising. For football, I think the donor population doesn’t crossover

I think that was a big part of the decision for St Mary’s to drop football. The return on investment in terms of public exposure is much better for basketball. Lots of eyes watching March Madness

Honestly for alt uniforms like the tahoe ones, I think a few that we could do over the years (from my random half-asleep brain this morning):
-An ag inspired one with that cool CA logo that has the wheat in its design
-A wine inspired uniform with some grape imagery under the logo on helmets (maybe could work with the grey uniform)
-TOMATO UNIFORM (the amount of tomatoes on yolo county roads during harvest is wild, I was driving my truck towards esparto last year and had 5 land on my windshield)
-Blue Ridge uniform inspired by the Berryessa gap

I don't see any designation for this sport or that sport. Have no trust that my money will go solely to football, but I'll keep diving into it.

Like the "Wine Grape Crushers?" That would be hilarious...I could see a foot on grapes as a logo...lol

Definitely a slower burn than it should be. I think Plough for 10 more years puts us in a great spot. Talk about someone that can connect with alumni. He almost has a more zen and mature "Jason Eck effect" going on

If you designate football on your Champion Aggie donation, 100% goes to football. I’ve spoken to athletics about this very subject.
We need Sanford Weill to get interested ib UCD football :).

Finn, Champion Aggie. Just designate football as the recipient. Then enjoy the hospitality :).

If I received an email for a UC Davis Football Campaign for 1000 donors at $1000, and there was a hard deadline of say May 1st, 2026. I'd send $1000 to a link provided.

Fair, but the passion seems to be growing at a rate faster than our FCS and FBS peers. Coaches, players, fans, students of all ages are now more aware that UCD is a high value football brand on the West Coast. I coached in HS in the bay area for a bit, and every coach I encountered had nothing but respect for Davis (I didn't think they'd even know Davis existed). Once we reach critical mass (could be 5-10 more years of winning and producing NFL talent), things could get interesting. The only way to do that is to win and win repeatedly. We're 20+ years behind other Big Sky programs in the transition from D2 to D1 but gaining ground. There's no reason we can't get 1000 alumni donating $1000 each year. That's only $88 per month. My stupid streaming subscriptions surpass that for content I care less about..

This is absolutely the right perspective.

FTR, UCLA has lost $200 Million the past six years and may spend $60 - $80 Million to break the Rose Bowl lease.

Haha so true. In the military I'd be on deployments and I'd get asked which is the better UC...USC or UC Berkeley. LOL

I keep saying it....If we change our name to the Davis "Winemakers" or something like that, we instantly change our perception around the sports world. The unique name instantly differentiates us from Berkeley, UCLA, etc....instead of being known as the "commuter school" or the "cow school"...we start to get known as the "Wine making school"....which highlights our university as the best wine making program in the world....that is a VERY BIG Deal that we are not utilizing.

Remember, fair or not, its the perception that gets remembered.

Post of the Day. Wish he was my neighbor!

It was USC. Davis scheduled Tulsa as a replacement where Davis got paid for winning.
