Morgan just joined Athinaikos AS Vurona. I'm curious with the news of the WNBA adding three expansion teams over the next few years if that will be her opportunity.
Ex UC Davis Aggie soccer player Max Arfsten scores his first international goal, also had an assist, and named player of the match during the US Gold Cup Quarter final win. Also the announcer stated that he was an ex UC Davis players on national TV.
This conversation going over QBs of the last 50 years, and just scratching the surface, would be impossible at most schools. My time at Davis the QBs were Biggs and Speck. I wish i could see a program from that era. If I recall correctly, on Biggs’ Boardwalk Bowl team, one offensive lineman weighed about 210 or 215 lbs and trained by swimming, rather than weights. When playing teams like Massachusetts and Boise that lack if size largely precluded running the ball but the QB put up big numbers.Speck threw for over 400 yards against Boise, and Davis lost a close one simply because they couldn’t get a pass rush against a line that was near 300lbs. I think the Boise QB went on to play in Canada. Davis vs Goliath games.
Moroski was injured before the Poly gsme in 78. It was regionally televised on ABC. Someone started in his place but was ineffective and they brought Johnny Lu in. He led a comeback win. I believe that was his only action that year. In 79, Matt Weinrich started with John as a backup (my frosh season). I’m pretty sure Lucido never started that season but I could be wrong - I only suited up for 4 varsity games (after playing a Friday night Frosh game ).
Highest ranked Davis recruit ever according to 247sports site, and one of two 2026 recruits in the top four.
I’m not counting Jalen Harris, who never enrolled.
Was just watching all the videos posted on the board and reading the articles about Sac.
Its striking that UCD got a MWC invite with basically a "come play football when you are ready" option......where Sac is getting no invites and doing whatever the heck it is they are doing.
It really shows a huge difference between the two programs. I strongly believe Sac's leadership is failing the university.
The more we watch Sac, the better this deal looks....
Big news with Nico returning. He'll certainly provide leadership and a solid defensive presence. With him and Chappell and Noudjihidi it gives us some interesting options in the middle.
NOTE: Those are "3 to 5 stars" players who didn't shine at a previous stop or stops. So they still have to live up to that rating.
And even if they do, the fact that they were "varsity players" playing a "JV schedule" might lessen whatever they accomplish in the eyes of scouts/recruiters (for individual players), or conferences that Sac might be interested in joining. Damned if they do, damned if they don't situation.
Well this is interesting… adding SUU and Utah Tech seems to be the Big Sky backfilling Sac States exit… and future proofing the conference for when davis inevitably leaves for the FBS in the future. Can’t see any other reason to add Utah Tech as well.
from reddit: While Sacramento State was yelling about how they're a lock for the Pac-12, Davis quietly announced they were moving from the Big West to the Mountain West as a non-football member in 2026, but the agreement includes that the Mountain West has to give priority to UC Davis before inviting another FCS school. So Davis is still a football affiliate in the Big Sky, but everyone knows that they have one foot out the door
this is exactly what I am talking about, I think these moves from davis and the big sky are correlated despite sac decisions seeming to push everything.
The traditional college experience that we grew up with is over. — Sailorgabe
I'd say 99% of the guys on the Davis roster are living the traditional college experience. Full or partial scholarship, and football. Lan and a couple others got a little extra cash.
I'd say this is the entire FCS.
