Happy Birthday to Craig Morton, Class of 1965. The Golden Bears' starting quarterback 1962-64, Morton set almost every Cal passing record and the Pac-8 record for career yards. The #5 NFL draft pick, he led the Cowboys to Super Bowl V & the Broncos to Super Bowl XII.

Mark Few on #SMC’s Aidan Mahaney (16 pts. after half): “He hit some tough runners & we tried everybody on the roster on him & he hit them over our best defender, which is Anton. He hit three of them over him. Those are tough shots & he hit them, so he deserves a lot of credit.”

A gritty performance by St. Mary’s — and a transcendent one by Aidan Mahaney — lifted the 18th-ranked Gaels to an improbable 78-70 win over 12th-ranked Gonzaga in a filled-to-the-gills University Credit Union Pavilion.

Just a thought ... ' Aidan Mahaney has been the #WCChoops Freshman of the Week 8 times this season, including each of the past 5 weeks. I'd say there's a decent chance he'll get No. 9 overall and his 6th in a row when the award is announced Monday.

Though neither Logan Johnson nor Aidan Mahaney fits the mold of a prototypical pass-first point guard, each has thrived this season, and together they’ve helped the St. Mary’s Gaels win their past 11 games.

Rest In Peace Bobby Beathard, a successful football man, more importantly a beautiful kind soul. I will miss him floating at daybreak in the ocean body surfing with his giant kind smile. Let’s carry his kindness with us forever.

The sports staff, copydesk and design team all welcomed me as one of their own right away. The ambition, wisdom and dedication here is unrivaled. So, while I’m sad and disappointed to have to go under these circumstances, this was an experience I’ll always cherish. (-30-)
