NOTE: This gets rather long. For those who of you who have better things to do than read this all the way through..."Suck it Davis" will easily suffice as a replacement for the following rant.

Hey,

I read your nice little rant in the State Hornet. If we at Davis are such low-life because some stupid fans went to your campus and wrote things in chalk, then how do you explain some "Hornet Hooligans" traveling to Davis last year and "decorating" the ARC and this year one of the entrances to Aggie Stadium? Here's what I don't get, if some Sac State fans are going to "decorate," don't you think that they would want to decorate the main entrance to the stadium or the victory bell that is right in front of the stadium? Instead, they decorated an entrance that only the donors go through. Smart kids, huh?

Also, for Aggies in professional sports, see Kenny O'Brien.

Further, I think you are confusing Picnic Day for the Whole Earth Festival.

Thanks.

Instead, they decorated an entrance that only the donors go through. Smart kids, huh? (Smart enough to target the people who might not otherwise cheer for your team. Students are likely to get into the ebbs and flows of the game. Thanks to those culturally minded Sac State students, your donors had more impetus to get their hopes up so they, like the UC Davis student body, could have them crash into a heap of total ass and fail at the hands of our lowly State school)

Also, for (in regards to) Aggies (whom played in) in professional sports, see Kenny O'Brien. (Who? [See more below.])

Further, I think you are confusing Picnic Day for the Whole Earth Festival. (The fields are fertilized every year right before Picnic Day, so even if it isn't hippie day, it sure smells like it)

Thanks. (You're welcome.)



*Note on Kenny O'Brien

I decided to do some research on Kenny O'Brien using the all-knowing internet. The following list are those Kenny O'Briens I discovered before, eventually, plucking UC Davis' own professional sporting hero from the depths of digital obscurity:

Kenny O'Brien, a musical artist who doesn't exist on Barnes and Noble's website, yet pinged the first few hits anyways.

Kenny O'Brien, who performed with the BG Theatre Club of Morris County from December 2001 to August 2002.

Kenny O'Brien, "president at music and arts center" somewhere in Washington D.C.

Bernard "Kenny" O'Brien, some dude from Vancouver, Canada.

Kenny O'Brien, a jazz musician who's debut album, Aire, was released this year.

Until, finally, I find the following gem about Kenny O'Brien, concerning the price of a 1985 Topps football card:


"Name one person on Earth that would bid $89.10 on this 1985 Topps KEN O'BRIEN #346 RC All-Time Jets PSA 10. $89? Maybe. $89.10? F*** no. That's a rip-off."

So here is _the_ Ken O'Brien, NY Jets quarterback, and 1983 draft pick.

As in the 1983 draft. The draft that gave the NFL John Elway, Dan Marino, Eric Dickerson, Darrell Green, Bruce Matthews and Jim Kelly.

Ken O'Brien, whom the Jets took over Dan Marino, had one absolutely amazing year in 1985, and two good years in 1986 and 1988. He was a good player.

A good player, unfortunately, completely lost in the annals of history . . . excepting Wikipedia, and nfl.com, both of which provided me with the information I needed to continue my inane argument.


Now, you may ask, "Who does Sac State have in the professional ranks?" Well, I have an answer.

He's played as many seasons as UC Davis' hallowed quarterback, and has played on three superbowl teams more than any UC Davis alumni in history.

Lonie Paxton is the starting long snapper for the New England Patriots. And whatever you may say about long snapping, there's one thing we can all agree on in regards to this Sac State grad: unlike Kenny O'Brien's Jets, or the UC Davis football team at the causeway this year, he's a winner.

Three Super Bowl rings. The long snapper in so many last-second field goal memories. A part of some of the least forgettable moments in NFL history.

I mean, it's one thing to be a sidenote of some draft, and quite another to be a sidenote of three Superbowls.

Errrm.

A long snapper over a quarterback? Ha! ha! You mean you couldn't find a water boy who was a Sac State grad?

That's three-time Super Bowl Champion to you, buddy.

And there's no indignity inherent in being a water-boy...you're just jealous of water.

And that it was at Sacramento State where Waterology was founded.

Sure, you may think Waterology is a big joke, but little do you know, you science snobs at Davis you, that it's THE cutting edge field of study today! So stick up your noses all you want but, here's some facts straight from the Waterological experts:

- A majority of the matter resting on the Earth's crust is water.

- Without water, you and I could not live.

- As has been stated, "Water can flow, but it can also crash." (Bruce Lee, Founder of Waterology [while on sabbatical at Sacramento State in the year 1492 {As we know Bruce Lee has always lived, and he has the power to create Universities with a mere thought.}])

- Water is pro-life and pro-choice. Without water, there could neither be birth nor abortions.

- Water makes you cleaner than baser or acidic chemicals, because it won't naw off your fingerprints with over usage, keeping government officials away from your door.

- Water balloons are awesome.

- Water was originally composed of one hydrogen and one oxygen atom, but after the collective bargaining agreement between the four elements of Greek mythology, water was given an extra hydrogen atom. In return, humans would stop breathing water for air. True story.

- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big proponent of Waterology, saying that, "If we do not have Waterology by the year 2030, we will need clone fish babies EEEE-YAAAA-YOUUUUUU!"

- Waterology is a holistic field, combining Environmental Science, Physical Science, Rocket Sauce, and Liza Minnelli (Hey, every field has had its dark moments, alright?)

- Waterology led General Washington to victory, as river currents created an upward force, allowing for him to toss his atomic quarter over the Delaware and into the soon to be obliterated British Navy. France arrived in time to see the destruction, originally looking to help the British monarchy, but decided to think better of it at that moment.

- On a related note, discoveries in Waterology led to the French Revolution.

- Waterology doesn't do push ups, it pushes the Earth down.


Well that certainly deteriorated in a hurry.

Point being, neither Davis nor Sac State alumni have enough professional sports credo for us to be discussing it. Attempting to justify our opinions contrary to the point is almost as ridiculous as Waterology.
