Some recollections about the 04-05 season:  "My first ever game in charge we played the Barbos and beat them for the first time in the History of the program.  I know we pretty much destroyed everyone. Had a great game against No. 2 BYU and beat them in regular season. We wanted to play Cal Berkley but they did not want to play us. The only game we lost that entire year was the final 4 Cal Poly SLO. Destroyed Texas Tech in the regional championships. The score was in the 70's.  We were going to Scotland on a tour but teh senior management veto'd the trip last second (literally) so we landed up going to Scottsdale AZ. Played men's teams there and won all of them.
