• 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    The ref that made the TD call was positioned exactly on the goal line and only a few feet from the catch. So with that call on the field and camera angles that weren’t on the goal line and poorly positioned for a good review, the call on the field had to stand.NCagalum

    Enough said. Case closed.

    One thing I've never really seen from UCD is significant outreach / advertising to actually TRY to get people to come to Football/Basketball games. I seem to remember a billboard a few years ago for a couple weeks (?) but that's about it. I don't live in the area, so maybe I'm not seeing it if its happening.....

    Before I get started on this rant, I'll just say....between the amount of undergrads on campus and the 67,000 people in sleepy Davis....there is no reason why we can't get 20,000 in Aggie stadium every week.

    A lot of people live in the immediate area. If we figure we've lost Sacramento (never even had it)...there are 367,000 people within a 30 minute drive (Davis, Dixon, Woodland, Vacaville, Fairfield). General pop won't likely care about Aggie athletics, but there must be alumni here.

    There is a ton UCD alumni in Contra Costa County. There are plenty of Aggies within 50 mins of Davis near me, and they do make the drive. CC County general population won't care about Davis football, but there are plenty of alums here (260,000 people in Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Walnut Creek)...

    I've always seen some geographic similarities between Pullman (32,000) and Davis. Washington State gets people in the stadium and on good years they fill it up all year. But, if Wazzu was in the Big Sky, I bet their attendance would mirror Idaho's.
    If Davis moves up, there is potential....but I'm not sure we are going to "make it" as a football program over the next 10 years the way things are changing if we don't do something. Changing who we play, community outreach, stadium upgrades.....something....

    Honestly, changing who we play might be the only answer. I don't think we are going to change the level of passion / knowledge for football with students and community in our current situation.

    Right...Anything can happen. Things we never thought we'd see keep happening....The Rose Bowl Game is no longer between the Pac-10 / Big 10 (ancient history now)....The Pac 10 became the Pac-12 (ancient history now).....Pac-12 died (already ancient history).....

    I couldn't hear the refs explanation on the broadcast. Is that the rule?

    That's the rule in the "back" of the endzone (one foot), but two feet in at the goal line? It makes sense.

    The ref right in front of the play made the call.

    He had a perfect view. No camera angle was better. I agree with the call (of course).

    Here comes some PSU luck. Need that sometimes....
  • 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    Porter almost had one last week late too....Not smart play.
  • 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    Doing just enough. Doing a good job scrapping together a drive.

    Its like a misfiring car right now....
  • 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    Need 6 here to take the wind out of the Viks sails.

    When a manger is overwhelmed, the sh*t rolls downhill. Pretty soon the entire unit can't operate efficiently.

    Such a stark contrast from the way the Aggie defense operates with a great DC.

    That looked like helmet to helmet on Lan there. Hopefully they look at that one. Rung his bell.

    Miles needs to be careful throwing into the shade with black jerseys over there. Coach him up.
  • 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    I know the Idaho win was great....But I think we really need an OC. Not a knock on Plough, but its just too much for one guy.
    The offense looks overwhelmed overall: lack of identity and so many procedure penalties. The offense is just underachieving
  • 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    Illegal motion/formation.......its just out of hand at this point.
  • 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    In 20 years following the program and 4 coaching staffs, I can't remember ever seeing so many illegal procedure penalties for lining up wrong. Pulling that TD off the board before the half was huge.

    What in the world is the issue.

    Feels like NAU last year. Ags were never in that one.
  • 2024 Week 6: UC Davis (4-1) @ Portland State (0-4)
    Slow start by the Ags last week going down 14-0 vs. Idaho.

    Lots of game left. Troublesome trend, though!

    Looks like he got it on TV....by a yard.....not going to look at it?

    PSU is giving up 53.5 points per game.
