Moroski was injured before the Poly gsme in 78. It was regionally televised on ABC. Someone started in his place but was ineffective and they brought Johnny Lu in. He led a comeback win. I believe that was his only action that year. In 79, Matt Weinrich started with John as a backup (my frosh season). I’m pretty sure Lucido never started that season but I could be wrong - I only suited up for 4 varsity games (after playing a Friday night Frosh game ).

OB redshirted that year, and took over in 80.

Johnny Lu only filled in for a few games when Moraski was hurt. Matt Weinrich was between Mo and Kenny O and he was less than average.

I’d say Randy Wright was not a very good QB despite his record vs Sac

very similar to my high school scoring average…..if you slide that decimal point one over to the left.

I’m not quite sure how the Australian leagues work. Eli had a solid first year with the Perth Wildcats on the NBL; now he’s averaging nearly 50 (yes, 50) with a team out of Warwick in the NBL1 which sounds like a semi-pro league- maybe similar to the NBA summer league? His minutes and numbers dropped quite a bit the last few games of the Perth season with minutes going from the 20s down to below 10.

based on recent court cases that have gone against the NCAA, i wouldn't beat against Sac pulling off something.

it reminds me of the episode of the office where Oscar tells Michael he needs to declare bankruptcy.

‘I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!!’

‘Uh, Michael, there’s a little more to it than that’

it sounds like Texas State is the choice (unless they decide to go to 9 football, which doesn't make much sense). This seems to be the consensus of several articles after the Pac12 just signed a deal with CBS:

don’t forget Merrimack and Sacred Heart, the other 2 independents. Big West is a better fit for them; I’m guessing the BSC had no interest in a football only

How does this work with the Big Sky's 63 equivalency limit for the 2025 season? I had assume that Sac had been moving forward a larger number.

if I remember correctly, they had brought in a ton of transfer the year before. Something like 25

I just don’t see the revenue source as an independent, but maybe I’m missing something. Trying to get football specific income numbers from UMASS or UCONN is difficult (other than ticket revenue) since their overall media money is due to other sports (especially UCINN’s Big East cash).

I got to know one of the parents a bit last season and talked often when we ran across each other at games. At Vegas, we were talking about the season and how early injuries (Borra and Roberson) effected the team and may have led to the late season collapse. He was saying his son felt Roberson was a ‘GameChanger’.

Hope for this sake (and ours!) he gets healthy and has a chance to show his potential

thanks. I thought I had read that there was a 85 limit splittable, but maybe that was old (line two weeks ago) news.

it’s actually 85 ‘full’ that can be split amongst 105. Still an increase of 20 of both sexes.

I’m in Toronto and saw a little blurb about Team Canada soccer and saw a familiar face. An Aggie connection in the 2026 World Cup!

It feels like we’ve really improved, although I’m a bit worried about our center position. I expect a big leap up from Cooper, and I think Sevilla will be better with a reduced work load. Robeson remains the big unknown.

i was a bit surprised he was traded for such a low draft pick (8th round). I knew his stock dropped last year in Calgary, but not that far.

I guess Miles Hastings decided not to give it a go up in Canada. I saw this article:

apparently a kid who likes the heat!

I agree. The Dakota schools bring a ton for their suites also, but I just don’t see that many corps/donors willing to pay $10k or so for 5 home games in the Davis metroplex. We’d have definitely less suites, also, if the first phase is west side only. If you could generate $200-300k (big if) that would be a significant boast in ticket revenue. That would be, rough estimate, like selling 2000 more seats per game.

Well, when you can rack up close to $1M in suite sales and probably twice our game ticket revenue, it takes away the need for a FBS payoff game. If we have 3 OOC games, one will be FBS (away), and more than likely one home/one away - unless you can pay off a team to come here on a one-off game. No D2 games in our future
