according to my AQI app, air quality in Arcata is below 50. I believe that’s pretty accurate.

Brendan McShea was the previous director. Looks like he is leaving to be head coach at Winters High

Sounds like a real shit show with SJSU. Just send 5 busloads up to Humboldt to get by county health, but don’t let ‘host’ county know about.

State limits seem like to will be hard to really prepare. Limit of 75 players (I think we suit up 100 or so for preseason).

San Jose is relocating to Humboldt so they can start practicing, since Santa Clara county hasn’t given them the okay. Stanford is in the same boat but start their season 2 weeks later. Seems like a pretty costly expedition for the Spartans but I’m not sure what else they could do

.

I didn’t see much, to be honest. Swimming with grandkids was more fun

Costello is the kid from Stanford, I he played against us last time in 2018. Our defense OBVIOUSLY is better than LSU

San Diego also, I would think. Paper today made it sound like it was still uncertain situation for the Spartans. Seems really chaotic.

Pac 12 said 7 games starting November 6; mountain west starts October 24. They seems too soon for MWC (a month?) since they haven’t started anything resembling real practices, nor has counties given them okay to do so.

that was kind of lame; they were restricted to 12 players and only 2 could touch a ball. Hard to have a real practice. Look for Jon Wilmer online; he writes almost daily about the PAC 12 in the mercury. He thinks a November 7 start

I can’t see that since it sounds like the Pac is moving to a late October or early November start, and the other two haven’t been cleared for anything close to a normal practice. Since FCS is pushing for 16 team playoff, I think we’ll be stuck with 8 game BSC schedule.

Uggh....they showed the SUU game twice. Once was enough

Two replays today. SUU at 3:00 and Portland State at 5:45.

an advantage of being a major university. Portland State seems to be on life support (especially losing two PAC12 games) and EWU seems to be having serious issues. Supporting certain protocols seems to be unrealistic. Not sure if that’s what is driving the SUU possible opt out.

As a side note, the final week of the proposed schedule (from NCAA FCS championship guide) falls on Picnic Day. So, Causeway and Picnic Day!

I don’t think most FCS schools have the resources to provide the testing required. Question will be whether things have changed enough after the first of the year that will allow play with reduced testing. Else, I think several FCS leagues or teams will bail.

There was a zoom gathering today with Hawk with a couple guests ( Bakari Grant and Chaple Brown). We’re allowed a fall practice (similar to a spring) but our county hasn’t changed restrictions, so TBD. 8 game schedule starting late February - Big Sky is releasing it tomorrow but not to the public for awhile. There’s talk that SUU will opt out, which will force changes. Still fluid.

I don’t think we need to rely on Aggies in the pros for fundraising. The big football donors got nowhere close to the NFL. Most of our ex pros are missing from the Team Aggie list.

I think some of the Big 12 , based on yesterday’s results, thought they weren’t starting until later!

last season; man it was hot that day!

I vividly remember those two games, yet forgot what I had for breakfast 3 hours ago!

Beating Davis was a HUGE goal for them. Harbaugh called it his bowl game when they came in undefeated. I still get nauseous thinking about our loss down there in 2008. ALMOST ruined a trip to our favorite US city
