Something sounds weird. Pretty sudden move, with a questionable promotion.
I wonder if eGriz is freaking out (I bet yes)

I guess I should watch the presser, etc.....

Kollock, Herman and Sylvester jump out to me.

Are any other guys big-time steals?

Ridiculous.

He used Davis a stepping stone, and Plough can use him as an example in the recruiting game. The relationship can be mutually beneficial.

Its all good. He has friends on the team that will stay friends, I'm sure. Fans are going to fan, either way...

I'm seeing all of that and I love it all.

At the moment, its not equaling $$$$$ to the program. Its also not getting 15,000 attendance in a city of 70,000 people.

Its slowly changing.

I guess the point I'm making is, perhaps this would happen faster if the University changed the "show me you all want this stuff" strategy. Its like, they show pretty pictures and sit back and expect the money flow in (and it doesn't). I still don't know how to give $1,000 to Aggie football.

The attitude from the Davis community and alumni has not changed since I was a student over 20 years ago. People aren't donating to the program in a meaningful way. No passion.

Until that changes, we aren't going anywhere.

It can change, but Mrak / AD has implemented a "show me" attitude. They've put it on us, and things are stagnant.

I brought up putting "Aggie Pride" somewhere on the field a few years back, like "Bear Down" at U of A. I always thought that was cool.

I think our field is the best looking in the conference right now.

I feel we have finally gotten the helmets/uniforms correct after a lot years that weren't so great.
The Russell Athletic years were not great '06-'09. The early Adidas years 2010-2016 were an overall improvement.

Starting in 2017 we've gotten things straightened out. CA and script Davis on helmets all the way for me.
I don't see anyone straying from the athletics font, which seems to be unique to Davis, and most people seems to like.

Gold Davis script helmet, white jerseys, gold pants on the road for me. The team looks lean and fast in that look.

What should change is the University logo font UCDAVIS.

My daughter (13) is really disappointed about Equestrian. We've been to a few meets.
It seemed like the program was on the rise.

I'll file it under the posts about the certainty of the Pac12 offer, the FBS acceptance, the MAC offer, , the construction kickoff of the on-campus stadium, the Cal Expo stadium in 2026. — DrMike

A hard-hitter classic from the Dr.

Sounds like the guy doesn't want to get sued by UW or anyone on the horizon

Looking forward to what Aden Jackson can do next season. Talent-wise he seems like the guy to chip in most with Fisher.

For Ellison the Davis offer is the only one that got "!!" for whatever that's worth. Seems like his best offer so far.

The whole agent thing is gross. Poking around the families all the time trying to drum up business whether the kids know it or want it. Trying to create interest for a kid before he even enters the portal or is a client, or is even aware, then pounce.
College football is in bad shape.

Just saw Lamar’s schedule. Sac ain’t on it. Yikes. Still 5 games.

Washington State and Oregon State played TWICE this year?

According to his further comment I guess Lamar isn't gone, just TBD and not listed.

Washington State provides some cash and probably a good shot at QB1. I believe they have 3 underclassman QB's presently. Their previous starter was a transfer from Bryant who just graduated.

Great to get some finality on Cofield from Plough.

JuJu Lewis will be QB1 at Colorado. He was a 5* recruit in 2024, right? So Pinnick would be a back-up?
Or maybe they aren't sold on their 5* guy....Marion knows what he coached against.


Regardless, wild times to be able to offer that much money for a potential backup.
