Also to the BSU thing. We Hate/Distain the Donkeys in the COU. Idaho aggie stated it up pretty well. We were the big program for years and the academic school in the state. The instant our program began to stink (see above message about cable) it unfortunately coincided with Riverside Techs rise in football. The State starting taking our money to fund them and all of this has made a already pretty big rivalry pretty bitter. Heck they havent played in Football since 2010 or mens basketball since 2013, and both sides still hate/distain one another. Hawkins was the coach at this time.

I have talked to Hawk at media days... our fanbase just fantasizes that he hates us. He actually is quite fond of us and was actually interested in the opening in 2013 opening (where we hired Paul Petrino).

Tom Cable killed our program and got fired from Seattle as O-line coach. Tom Cable is not a good coach.

Great person (except that one time in Oakland)

Idaho had coaches with winning overall records since 1981. in that time won 7 conference Titles (6 FCS, 1 FBS) had been ranked #1 6 times. 12 post season appearances (11 FCS 1 FBS) only 1 losing season in that time. Tom Cable took over a winning program and never had a winning season and went 11-35

That's not good for us. Though isnt your backup still pretty fire

Another year another UC Davis Showdown. Starting to feel we play you guys more then any other school so far hahaha.

Best of luck this week really wish I could make it down! I had it all planned out in 2020....

I see you guys found our preview and thanks CA Forever for popping over to AllVandals and giving our fans the Covid Entrances scoop!

Quick Hitters for those not wanting to listen to hour long episode (would love if you would though)

QB is a two way battle between Grad transfer from Uconn Mike Beaudry (played every snap vs yall last year). played much better in fall vs FBS teams then he did in spring vs FCS. Then true freshman CJ Jordan who had a few P5 offers out of HS before a knee injury in senior year. He is showing some growing pains but should be the future. CPP is being cagey as usual and "It has been decided but cares not to share information at this moment". Knowing Paul it will probably be Beaudry though us at Tubs would rather see CJ.

We have 3.5 really good RBs Johnson (Rsr), Romano (so), Cummings (fr) & then Carter (so) who is back on team after 1 year removed due to academics.

Coach Hawkins is correct. Our front 7 is awesome! that said your Oline and Gilliam are more up to the task than many.

Last years game was close with 24 players out due to Covid including 9 starters. But if you look at Stats it really wasn't as close as scoreboard showed. UC Davis moved ball at will. We expect more of the same we all predicted a Davis win by as little as 10 and as much as I believe 23

If you guys are going to game our STUD Linebacker #8 Tre Walker (Fresno, CA) who will most likely be leaving early for NFL's dad Albert is planning a big tailgate. Im sure they would love for folks to stop by and say hi and talk some football.

We also have 2 kids from Staggs in Stockton #7 WR Cutrell Haywood (Should Start) & #34 S Jabril Pharms (probably wont see playing time) another Stockton kid #13 DB Jordan Doyle. All in All we have 26 kids from California on team. I imagine their parents make trip as well.

Here's to a good game and may the worst team win... for my sake :)

Thank you guys for checking us out from time to time. Would love to maybe host one of you on episode this fall before out trip to Davis. Here are links to the Video about ESPN+ mentioned above that are bit sized.





Brian was at media days and talked one on one with Tom Wistrcil. an audit was sent out to schools to say all the equipment they had. Then the conference disbursed funds based on who needed most help and everything was earmarked for that specific purchase. Much like Idaho, UCD has an above average stream for BSC. I imagine you all had minimal in way of improvement money.

I was Drunk and talking to myself in the office loudly hahahha so glad you picked up on that hahaha Got to take our episodes with grain of salt. they are Vandal Focused. We could have covered what UC Davis did great, but Vandals that listen want to know what we did bad. Its a very propaganda kinda episode.

Everyone is out starters, Covid is a new normal. I can tell you most rational Vandal Fans know maybe being out players would have made up for 2-3 points not 10. Vandals lost. Aggies offense gave what our Defense gave them and at the end. we couldnt make the stop needed.

Congrats on the Win! Hawkins got us again hahaha. I like UC Davis being good, makes sky more exciting and by far are my favorite Cali team. So keep it up, beat EWU, Poly and Weber for us so we have a shot at the playoffs!
