if pigs can fly there’s no reason they can’t be genetically modified to go supersonic!

I dunno; that's the argument that got Rutgers into the Big 10!

i remember hearing in the preseason that 8 wins was the 'magic number' for a bid. Of course, alot of that depends on how the other BSC teams finish out. if we were to be 5-3, and have Idaho, or NAU/Weber (they play this weekend) sneak ahead of us, i'm not sure that 5 teams from the conference would get in.

UNC is averaging 13 points a game, while giving up nearly 33. Their last two games (upset over Weber, relatively close loss to Montana) are 2 of their best. Hopefully the Aggie offense of the Poly game or even quarters of EWU show up early and put the pressure on a struggling offense.

Last time UNC came to Davis was October 2021. If i recall, they were beat up and started in basically a single-wing formation. We won 32-3 in a very fast game. We ran the ball 53 times, they ran it 31.....and....mostly ran the ball the entire 4th quarter! That was the beginning of the short Ed McCaffrey era!

I wonder if the MWC 5 are having a bit of buyer’s remorse?

‘So tell me about this new Pac12 conference we’re gonna pay big bucks to get into? Who else is in it?

‘Well, uh, you’ve got Oregon St and Washingtion St.’

‘Yeah, who else?’

‘Well, uh, besides us? There’s 4 other MWC schools’

‘Okay, hmmmm….and the others? You do need at least one more.’

‘Yeah, uh, well there’s a couple FCS schools that want to join!!’

go Weber

I think my wife had to sign up to receive promotional material on her phone to get the shirt. She’ll be relieved she won’t be getting those texts!!

that started with Hawk/Plough and Jake Maier. He was the ‘mayor of shredville’

it’s a weird place. For-profit Christian school with enrollment of around 100,000 (mostly online). Fined nearly $40M about a year ago by the government for deceptive pricing of advanced degrees. They did bring a bunch of fans to their NCAA basketball tourney games last - I believe the school foot the bill.

That will be by far the toughest environment the basketball team plays in this year (Hawaii a runner-up)

I thought the NCAA had a rule against practice/games on Election Day? They made a big deal of it. Hawk was not a big fan

Never mind - the rule got changed:

In-season athletes may not get Election day off due to a reversal of a 2020 NCAA rule.
Teams are now only required to give athletes a day off within 30 days of Nov. 8.

Good thing with bye week for football!

their current stadium holds around 15000 with plans to expand to something like 17000. I don't see anything about future plans beyond that.

I ‘won’ a High Wheeler shirt at an early season football game. That thing is gonna be worth a mint now!!!

We have to miss also - quick trip to the mountains. I agree with AgAlum - basketball get together is more fun because you get to interact with the players a bit more. The women’s team always has a few players that have big personalities and try to engage with the fans.

good point. Maybe should say 3 games vs sub-500 teams.

that was with 11 game schedule, so 7-4. 7-5 might not cut it especially if someone like NAU sneaks in with a 8-4.

Remember this in 2018? Up 49-10, and gave up 26 in a row to make it interesting. Got us to ‘bad beats’ on ESPN cuz they beat the spread

Watch out for NAU. 4-4 with 3 easy games and Weber.

if we can avoid 5 turnovers, including 2 fumbles inside the opponents 5, we should take care of UNC. Even with that mess Weber still almost beat them,

I second Toke’s praise. Really appreciate the description of the transfers. I’m a big Burgers and Brew guy for my preGame (unless I’ve ‘earned’ a free pizza guys for a weekday game!), so agree with that assessment.

You hit it on the head that our success will come from defense and contributions from the bigs (they need to stay healthy!). Also need steps up from guys like Leone and Tomba.
