Huddle up! It’s time once again for the Aggie football program’s preseason Women’s Huddle — offering a taste of X’s and O’s, along with hors d’oeuvres and beverages.

This year’s huddle, the ninth annual, is scheduled for Friday night, Aug. 28, at Aggie Stadium. Coaches and players will put the Women’s Huddle participants through some fun drills on Jim Sochor Field, while also teaching the X’s and O's of the Aggie program — referring to the symbols that are used in diagramming plays.

The $45 cost includes a commemorative t-shirt plus refreshments. Check-in begins at 5:30 p.m. and the program starts at 6:30. Meet in front of the Bruce Edwards Club Room, on the stadium’s west side. Note: Wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes. To sign up, or for more information, contact Kara Heckler in the Athletics Development Office, by telephone, (530) 754-2593, or email.

UC Davis opens its season Thursday, Sept. 3, at Nevada Reno. The Aggie home opener is Saturday, Sept. 12, vs. South Dakota, kickoff 6 p.m. Tickets: telephone (530) 752-AGS1 (2471) and online.
