The following is a subject that is very close to my heart, or rather, very close to my face. As you can probably see from the mug that accompanies this column, I wear glasses. I also occasionally suffer...

Who thinks they are going to hell? I never thought I was, but I am, according to a couple of religious demonstrators in the Library Quad this month. Great, that?s all I need. In case you missed the ruckus,...

I never joined a fraternity. There was a time that I felt sad about this fact. It felt as if it was the one thing that I never did to round out my college experience. Then I realized the reason I stayed...

Sacramento State hates its students. OK, maybe "hate" is a little too strong, but the University does do a great number of things to make students? lives rather difficult. The latest example of this is...

Lose money in the comfort of your own home

Ever lose twenty bucks because you washed your pants with the wallet still inside? Ever lose $1,000 because Boston College didn?t cover the spread against St. John?s? You might have done the former, but...

Game on

Ryan Flatley
October 24, 2001

The Hornets are 5-3 overall and 3-3 in Big Sky Conference action, while UC Davis is 7-0 and ranked number two in Division II.

Last season, the Hornets were UC Davis' only loss as they beat them 47-28 at Fred Anderson Field before an all-time record crowd of 20,993.

UC Davis' JT Sullivan leads the nation in passing with a rating of 199, so the Sac State defense will definitely be tested tomorrow.

The game will be played at Sacramento City College's Hughes Stadium at 2 p.m.
