    the OSU job does not seem appealing at all. I know the Pac12 is rebuilding BUT I can’t see this being a place to have great success. Maybe in a few years, he and Jeff Choate can have some beers and ask each other why they leave Bozeman for such crappy jobs.

    9.5 point favorites with 85% probability of winning. One dire days best bet is pick Davis giving the points. Hoping the Cajuns are anxious to get back home after a long week and we make quick work of them

    I don’t see that option on the regular ticket link. You can probably call the ticket office and do it that way. I assume they figure only regular donors would purchase them but at $5 a shot, they might get a boarder audience
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    when we were walking out long after the game (got talking to friends, so we were literally last fans in the building) Rocco was talking to 2 Sac AD folk, explaining where the expansion was going. I congratulated him and said ‘second win over a Pac12 team in our history!’ Sac folk didn’t look amused.

    just look at James Madison. They had a long rivalry with William and Mary for 40+ years that died when JMU moved up.

    there is NO WAY IN THE WORLD the Big Sky rolls the welcome mat back out for the Hornets! For non-football, the Big West is a better fit for them.......its just that pesky football issue that makes this less than ideal.
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    since you are engaged in their ‘it’s their fault there’s no more Causeway’, can you ask for an example of a FCS-FBS rivalry that we can model the causeway on?

    It’s true that they tried to buy out Stetson and pay in Davis, but Stetson is coming for cheap and it’s a ‘should win’ game. After a OOC featuring a FBS Bowl team, a top10 team across the continent and 2 (soon to be) BSC teams, I think we’re leaning toward softer OOC next year.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Did I miss the November MAC football-only announcement that we were promised?
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    if they were to bring in a 7-5 team, I think they’d grab NAU, although they don’t deserve it either. When one of your 7 is due to an admitted referee meltdown, the resume is shaky!

    The Harvard loss are up an at-large (I think), so the competition for final spots is going to be tight.

    Honestly. I thought the Big Sky was down this year - 3 teams might be what is deserved.
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    SF wrote a very detailed post about why we aren’t interested in scheduled a second or underpriced FBS game, and the comeback is ‘d^ck attitude’. Gotta love it

    they’ve been on the west coast since playing Stanford last Tuesday.

    So Yale gets the auto bid and Harvard probably gets in also? That shakes up the brackets
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    l think if Sac had the ability to get outside and out of bounds, they probably win. They had to burn timeouts and they seemed to be rushed at the end. Note to coach - the forward pass can be effective in getting the ball out to the outside.

    Acia was a very unsung hero in Vargas’ absence (an NFL talent). Had some quality runs the past few weeks and gave Fisher some much needed rest. He got tossed in the fire and thrived!
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    Before today I watched ZERO minutes of hornet football, but i heard alot about this innovative’GO-GO’ offense…..and we get a power run game out of the 40’s! 17 yards of passing? I don’t recall any wrinkle in the run game - just power between the tackles.

    We’re so lucky we didn’t have to deal with injuries like them!

    Idaho State deserves it before NAU or Sac. Brutal schedule and finished strong.
  • 2025 FCS Playoff Prognostication
    this email is for season ticket holders only. They’ll release tickets to general soon. Not sure how student tickets work
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    the answer is yes. My season tickets have increased significantly over the past 5 years and I believe that they are using dynamic pricing to pump up the price for certain games like today.

    In 2022, Team Aggie cost $225 for 5 games; $300 this year.
  • MBB: UC Davis (3-1) at Colorado (4-0), Friday Nov. 21, 6 pm
    I really think they’re length and quick, coupled with the altitude, let them pull away. I was looking at the play by play, and their big guy went out at 10:40 with foul trouble - Niko’s free throws got it to 60-59 us. We got a stop and 3 pointer to push it to 63-59 with a little less than 10 to go. That’s when they took off. We had no answer for Bak on either end - his passing from inside out really got us out of sync.

    I think Stokes’ early foul trouble shortened the bench which may have led to some fatigue. But, in that last 10 minutes, we often had Wilson, Sevilla and Fagbemi out there vs their really long team. Wore us down on both ends.

    Good effort, especially digging out of scary 10-0 hole. We’re gonna need someone like Stokes to step up (Rawlins doesn’t seem strong enough at this point), along with some big man support ( Noudjihidi?) for Niko. And to continue to beat that dead horse, Daugherty brings length that we are lacking.
