The bums at “that school across the causeway” have designed Causeway Classic T-shirts and are now taking orders. Not very creative but this year’s insult will be on a “navy blue shirt and will say, ‘My cleaning lady received her B.A. from Sac State’ in gold writing.”
Frankly, that is no way to treat your mother when she shows up to clean your dump of a room that your daddy is paying for.
Any ideas for our own 2007 version? Please share.
‘FUCD’
UCD, China’s best kept educational secret.
I loved the ones with the gold F and K and the navy UC and Davis. I think the frats usually make something up. UC Davis, where ugly chicks go to feel pretty.
I loved the one a couple of years ago that said:
How do you like your Aggie cooked: Burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell!
How about: “U.C. Dungpile Where all the action is in the sheep barns”
Ah, censorship….can dish it out, but you cant take it? Nice.
The only thing thats getting cleaned on Saturday is U. C Dungpile’s clock!
The lame thing is that even if we win on Saturday, Davis fans will flood our boards saying ‘oh it doesn’t matter, we’re still going to win at life’… But the truth is, they won’t.
I doubt we’ll flood boards with that kind of crap. Winning at life doesn’t necessarily mean financial success. A lot of positive things can be said about working at The Gap.
So Finn is your contention that a CSU degree limits a person’s prospects to working at McDonalds or the Gap? What about your patron saint, Little Jimmy Sochor who turned your football program from an also ran into a good division 2 program and laid the ground work for whatever success you have had since. As I recall Little Jimmy was a 5′ 7″ 145 pound quaterback at San Francisco State. How was Little Jimmy and his CSU degree able to do all of this while working at the Gap or flipping burgers at McDonalds?
Or better yet, Don Read, a Sac State alum who led Montana to national football prominence. Or Wayne Thiebaud…hmmm seems to me the UC Davis had to have him as an art professor. Or how about Dale Carlsen, founder and owner of Sleep Train. He has national prominence as a business owner. Lester Holt, etc. The list goes on and on.
I think a CSU undergrad degree is better than a UC one only because 99% of all undergrad classes are taught by professors, not a mix of teaching or grad assistants found at the UC. There is a real mix of topic areas one must pass to earn a CSU degree, especially in the GE breadth areas.
When it comes to a grad degree…well, that’s where UC has had the dominance, only due to applying political pressure that public research has to be done at UC and not at CSU. But with the Ed.D degree being authorized, I think the door is beginning to open to allow research and other doctorates in the future to be authorized at CSU.
Great points Alum!!!
Lighten up Francis! It’s just banter!
And I think the “state” of education in California has drastically changed from 30 years ago, at least from an engineering point of view. The UC’s, while they tend to focus on the basics and advanced theory, also implement a vast array of in class projects that correlate to the real world in real time. Every CSUS, CSUF, SFSU, Chico State student I’ve talked to agree with me that when we discuss what we’ve covered throughout our undergraduate and/or graduate experience. The drive to success, however, is up to each individual, and by and large, I see more drive and success from a UC Davis grad than a CSUS graduate. My observation, I’m sure you’ll disagree with me.
Football-wise, Band-wise, well, you can’t really argue with me on that. UC Davis year in and year out has had consistently better teams than CSUS, with fewer resources. Notable exceptions for CSUS: 1988-1991, 1999. The rest is pretty much all Aggies, the D-II Aggies.
When did Sac State go D-I in football?
