Was just posting about their defense...Is it really this good, or this this a motivation thing for MSU (not up for playing an Ivy League team)?

This has really been a thing. Its been hard to give them money.

Mercer sh*t the bed for real.

Montana State looking pedestrian against Yale. Yale doing a great job keeping the Bobcat offense off the field.

I expect MSU to show up in the second half.

Hopefully more lights!!!!!! Gets pretty dark out there.

.....and just in the East Bay Contra Costa County alone. 45 min. drive. I've mentioned my frustration with the lack of outreach in the 925 in the past on this board.

Alameda and Contra Costa Counties could pack Aggie Stadium with just recent alums by themselves.

This is what Plough was eluding to when he said something like "how are we expected to beat these guys on a single day when they beat our pants off the other 364?" I believe this was during the Montana State portion of our schedule.

Pointing out the difference between the financial commitment @ Davis vs. Dakotas/Montanas, and that our players deserve more support.

Even Jesus is losing faith in this kid's commitments. This will be his 4th. Boise State ---> Montana State ----> Sac State -----> ?

This guy is creating his own hype in the recruiting world, like Rashada did. People fighting for a guy when they have no idea if he's any good.....

Its a fair question. It will be interesting to see what Wood does here. Bring in the guy who is best for the football program, or someone that is best for him.
Also this should be an Orr-driven thing...but we all know Wood is in charge. The whole thing is bad.

I talked with Dr. Wood this morning. He says everyone needs to calm down and stop hating - FBS conference offer by the end of next week.

This year, I’ve watched more Sacramento State football than I have in all previous years combined. — PortlandAggie

Same! For me it was morbid curiosity.

Barnum? He's pretty down-and-out at the moment.

Cal Poly just signed a guy I believe....He must have been confused about how this works!

Sadly for CSUS, you are right.

If they can't get Taylor within a couple weeks, Sac might have to give it to Kris Richardson. He's a Hornet at this point, and he's there now. It might keep some current players and commits around to field a team and fill the schedule next year.
They really don't have time to mess around.

These guys are looking like they won't even play 10 games next year at this point.
Crazy amount of scheduling to get 6-8 more games before August.
There doesn't seem to be any hurry either......

4 games on next year's schedule, no conference, no head coach.
Better get moving.

Its gotta be Troy Taylor, and like tomorrow, if they want to save this thing.
Such an absolutely shame they burned the Big Sky bridge. Can't go back and re-group over the next few years to try to do the FBS move right.

I actually wonder if the program itself is in trouble at this point.

They either make a splash hire in a month, or they start over completely AGAIN.

Sac cant be an attractive job at this point, right?
Things are about as bad as they can be right now over there.

I envisioned Marion and Wood screaming at eachother behind the scenes all year. Seems like their personalities would just be volatile. Wood seems like he'd be sticking his nose everywhere. We'll probably never know.

Marion sites "not being FBS in 2026" as a deciding factor. That's an easy out.
I imagine he'd site "I did my job" if they were moving to FBS in 2026. Also an easy out.

The bottom line is he's likely tripling his salary.

Do I remember correctly that Hawkins was way less conservative about playing guys?

I won't argue the depth issue though. Top-tier programs are DEEP.
