and a log jam with Covid added year of eligibility. It will be interesting to see how many will use that year vs. graduating on schedule

he seems much more athletic and active defensively than the new guys. He shot well v Merced, but alot of players did. You right - we don’t see practice.

It was a fun atmosphere for the women. Bigger crowd than their norm, and the energy level was high. Darius does a really good job engaging with the crowd. There was hospitality on the west side, community day kid activities on the east, and the men’s team gathered in the south end for the post game meal.

I believe the new school pays the buyout. Most of the contract have a prorated buyout.

Had Cal not had the COVID issue they would have beat Arizona and been a bowl team.

Seems like the 2 turnovers in the first half really hurt Sac

I liked seeing Shaw out there. He looked solid on both ends. Not sure why he slipped down the depth chart so far, but I think he has skills on both ends that can help this team

it’s not badminton? It’s not football, either. Twisting a mobile QB’s ankle is horseshit. Hit hard, hit within the whistle, but get rid of the crap that gets people hurt.

I was sitting with a football coach at the basketball game today and asked about Montana’s dirty play. He agreed that was their style - cowboy mentality to intimidate you. Also, little Hauck is the worst. Referees let it happen

looked like he rolled his ankle when he landed on a foot

oh, you think THATS the attraction? Not nonstop basketball action?

With the transfer talk in football, I was curious what happened with the basketball players who entered after last season. Koehler graduated and is a contributing member of society. Squire ended up at Portland State where he hasn’t appeared in a game. Don’t see anything about injury/redshirt. He’s be a big help with the Ags this season.

I also noticed former At Gio Nelson is a Viking reserve.

my wife watched the UOP game on ESPN+. After being bombarded with the Big West ads (the slogan was etched into her memory bank) she’s ready to book a Las Vegas trip for the Big West tournament!

They are 2-5 with blowout losses to bad teams. Put this away by halftime!

pick six, blocked punt got TD, short punt returned to the 5. That’s 21 points on 5 yards!

I agree. I believe he transferred into MSU earlier

If my math is right, EWU has run 105 plays. Griz less than 50

And a missed trip by Hauck on the scramble

I think these are ESPN announcers. The color guy keeps calling him Barrier, which no Big Sky announcer would say.

2 TDS off punts killing EWU

On that final play you can see the defender twisting Barrette’s ankle. I remember them doing that when we beat them up there in 2018. 1 penalty called on EWU, 0 on Montana

second one was by Hauck. After the hit, you can see him pushing and kneeing the guy. Very dirty in the backfield.
