I don't think the in-state Asian population has changed much since I was there in the late 90s. It's the percentage of international (primarily Chinese) and Hispanic students that has increased. About 10% (3044 kids) of the total student population are international students from China, which is up significantly from ~0.3% (56 kids) in 2000. Regardless, let's get these kids to this game!

This kiddo is 22, so we'll bring plenty of beer and stuff to throw on the grill. I've hyped this up, so he's expecting something along the lines of Old School and my best Will Ferrell impression.

Awesome! I'm still working out the schedule with my cousin's son, who is joining me as an honorary Aggie for the day. I'm glad we can tailgate as close to the cows as possible so he can get the full experience.

For what it's worth, I was able to donate to buy tickets for students in a link in this article. Hopefully the kids show up.

Maybe I spoke too soon!

Griz are embarrassing TSU.

Ouch, missed FG by Montana.

Correct, 9AM pacific.

Omaha and Sioux Falls. I think it's a little cheaper if you want to fly home Monday.

Not that I'm going, but it looks like there are plenty of flights out of SFO through DEN for <$500.

Sam Herder has Larison at #4 on his ballot.

Tough night for me and my father in law. USF and CU got blown out, and the Nuggets are getting blown out. Let's go Warriors?

Oh man. I hope TY is ok!

This should be interesting. GCU beat Norfolk by 18.

I'll likely be parking at my old fraternity house and walking or biking to the game, mostly just to take a stroll down memory lane. If people are getting together in one of the parking lots, we'll leave a little early and meet up there before the game.

Two questions:
1) is anybody planning a tailgate get together?
2) how many people are planning to make their way over to the basketball game after the football game?

I heard somewhere (maybe your podcast???) that Jeremy Newberry is his agent. Newberry is a Bay Area kid (growing up in Antioch and playing at Cal) and moved to Idaho a few years ago. How did they get connected, and how is that relationship?
