Until the end of time, coaches will always harp the cliché that the most important game is the next game. But we all know that’s not really true, right? Everyone circles one date or another on the calendar, depending on what they’re looking for. Here are 10 such dates in Cal Poly sports for the rest of the fall season that we at the Mustang Daily recommend circling, in chronological order:

When students return to class for the fall quarter, new classes are not the only things that will be starting on campus. Here is a list of 10 Cal Poly athletes to keep your eye on this fall:
Men’s soccer – Eric Branagan-Franco
The senior goalkeeper owns a bevy of school records including save percentage, goals-against average, shutouts in a season and career shutouts.
After two season-opening games decided by last-minute field-goal attempts, the Cal Poly football team put itself in a less suspenseful finish Saturday.
The Mustangs, who topped San Diego State 30-28 Aug. 30 before falling 29-27 Sept. 6 to Montana, sprinted to a 28-7 lead at Northwestern State in Natchitoches, La.
The No. 6 Stanford women’s volleyball team edged Cal Poly 25-17, 23-25, 26-24, 25-10 Saturday in front of a Mott Gym regular-season record crowd of 2,917.
The No. 19 Mustangs (5-6), who won their first set against Stanford in 22 years, were led by Kylie Atherstone’s 17 kills.
According to a Friday report by the The Town Talk of Alexandria, La., the Northwestern State football team could be without a few offensive linemen in its Saturday game with Cal Poly. Although Demons head coach Scott Stoker declined to…
Scrolling the football roster of Northwestern State, Cal Poly’s upcoming opponent, revealed something interesting. Several of the Demons’ key contributors are transfers, including several from Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) schools. Altogether, their roster heading into the season had…
College is a time of self discovery, and the exploration of ones mind. It is during these pivotal four years that students will lay the foundation for their career paths, and harvest the seeds of youth into mature plants of in-depth understanding, and preference toward all aspects of education.
Like many college towns, San Luis Obispo has a vibrant local music scene and a variety of venues hosting local concerts every week. Not all are open to the under-21-year-olds, though, so we’ve helped you out and compiled a list here that are open to the 18-and-over crowd.
Cal Poly’s PREFACE book for fall 2008 will be Larry Watson’s riveting tale, “Montana 1948.” Winner of the Milkweed National Fiction Prize, this novel is a raw, and at times chilling first hand look through the eyes of a boy at the horrific happenings that transpire during the summer of his twelfth year.
When the Chinese government silenced the voice of dissent during the Olympics, the media and many Americans expressed outrage at their tactics.
Now, when producers of the news show Democracy Now, filming a peace march at the Republican National Convention, are manhandled and bloodied by law enforcement coordinated by the FBI, where is the media and where is the public outrage?
When a private home where protesters are meeting is surrounded by armed law enforcement and raided, where is the outrage? When a busload of protesters is stopped on the way into town, the bus confiscated, and the protesters left at the side of the road, where is the outrage?
And when Amy Goodman, reporting for Democracy Now, leaves the convention floor to ask law enforcement to release her producers, and she is strong-armed, cuffed and arrested, where is the outrage?
Is the new law of the land “don’t ask” for different policies, and “don’t tell” anyone you disagree or you may risk being arrested?
The arrest of Amy Goodman, the voice of Democracy Now, for pleading her case to authority puts our democracy in danger.
There is plenty of disagreement about how to fix the state budget this year – new taxes, less spending, or more borrowing – but we all agree that a healthy economy is the ultimate answer for future budgets. I urge lawmakers to build on that consensus to bridge partisan differences this year and help prevent future budget shortfalls, and the business community will do its part by investing in new ideas, hiring new workers and paying more taxes.
