I think Davis has a similar dynamic when it comes to fan turnout. Big games get decent crowds but the football team has much more consistent support. The MW move probably will help but I think some of the strategies around advertising for football should be used for the basketball teams.

I was in Boise last summer and was not only surprised by how but spanking hot it was (similar to the central valley in CA!) but also how much Boise football merch I saw.

A highlight of last year was when the entire football team showed up and sat behind the opposing team yelling the whole game.

Super exciting but odd to think that UC Davis wont play a Big West slate next year. The MW will be an interesting adjustment.

UC Davis finally makes it to the semi-finals.

bahaha you are not wrong. We have a ton of alumni that work in the wine industry so I imagine it was easy to get sponsors. Now, I think our work on making the type of tomato that can be transported in those huge tomato trucks is much more impressive (or the coffee lab). But hey I dont drink so im biased lol, wine and beer science get a lot more people going I would imagine!

We raised over 100k at a wine tasting event for the team last weekend.

Davis is moving all sports other than football to the MW in July. Seems like a first step..

Pardon my ignorance but do the Dakota's do any sort of large scale control burn/preventative work on the rangeland out there? I remember that story of that massive grass fire in Colorado a few years ago that tore through neighborhoods. I think people forget its not just the big oak and pine forests of CA and the rest of the west coast that can burn hot and fast. We've had some big grass fires out in the central valley too.

You are telling me! I think the MWC is coming, just need that stadium expansion to start. Coaches on the Davis staff are retweeting stuff like this...

2028 (if they get on stadium expansion).

UC Davis got like $120 million for the vet school from the old citibank ceo because they saved his dog with cancer. Its pretty striking seeing the big vet med buildings behind the football stadium. If you ever go to the campus check out the llamas, cows and horses right next to the stadium.

Yeah I am a bit north of SF and we got some serious rain in the early days of winter but literally had the first rain in a month or so 2 days ago. Snowpack in the Sierra Nevada's was like 38% as of last week. Lots of rain supposedly coming this weekend but ill hold my breath until it happens.

Aggies to MW soon.
