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

suites start at $14k and there are 40 of them. I’m sure the ones near midfield are much higher. And the are almost sold out for season tickets!

actually, Montana has EIGHT home games (all of their OOC games). The advantage of selling out at 24000 stadium with dozens of luxury suites!

I’m not blaming him at all. Applaud him for getting his degree and his contributions on the court. I’m just pointing out that he’s still welcome within the program which I think speaks well of both the staff and Pablo

I thought this was an interesting photo from the endowment dinner. Looks like there are no hard feeling with Pablo taking advantage of his grad transfer opportunity

if I were a big west fan in 2026, I’d hope they would skip UVU. Leave it as a 10-team SOCal league. Makes scheduling easier.

if, in the unlikely scenario, the NCAA turns down the FBS independent bid, would Sac be compliant with the Big Sky scholarship limits? Or, are they all in on the new FBS 85/103 limits (or even the current limits).

where did you see that? i'm not seeing the 2025 roster online.

coach bailed to Alabama, and they lost a ton of players (I read 27, including 10 returning starters) to the portal.

All home games. Thinking about Utah Tech (make it a long weekend with Vegas and a stop at one of the national parks). I'd like to do Poly but 4 weekends in a row might be a bit too much.

my impression was they need 8 for the 2025 season…..4 months from now

Isn’t the Pac12 still short one school for next years football season? They currently have 7 football schools, correct? And I thought they needed 8 to be considered a conference?

if it’s any consolation, she was selected to Cal Aggie Hall of Fame:

I believe we are targeting at least one late WR transfer from what Plough has said.

during the Alumni Zoom this week, Plough said that when they were watching the playoff selection show and they announced Mercer, he was thinking 'why does that sound familar?......wait, isn't that the team that we scheduled for a zero week game?'. He was also commenting on the neutrality of the site of this neutral site game!
