Wasn't he a Coach Gould recruit ... hum... Stanford?

Ouch.

Like the Fresno State QB, do they have to sit a year, or has that changed?

...

I wish EB much success in the NFL, but hope the EWU offense comes down to earth.

New Davis restaurants:

Guads, 3rd Street, excellent street tacos.

Raising Canes Chicken Fingers, 207 E St, open til 2 / 3 AM.

Ketmo closed.

When he was first here, I wasn't there. Sources are players, family, guests. The story has remained consistent for years.

The former parents and players are the source. Including Muslim players. There is a sermon and a blessing at the team meal 3 or so hours before gametime. The sermon is 10-15 minutes.

Maybe the lesson is that studs at WR & QB > marginally better overall depth.

Coach Hamilton had no schollies, scheduled up, and played DI powers. Opposite here. Les is tight, and the team plays tight. No big men or depth. We got hammered on the boards and inside.

Is Les still having a preacher give pregame sermons?

I don't see this team as better than 2018 (Maier / Doss), or 1982.

Coach Stewart had a low salary and bare bones team budget.

Am I right - we played 2 Freshmen and 1 redshirt Frosh?

Not sure about 10 year contracts.

If we agree that our team was generally stacked and talented, then maybe our staff badly misjudged our QB capabilities. Vaughn and Harrell also never seemed to get untracked.

Our special teams play seemed above average or better. Our defense likely would have been better if they were on the field less.

Sac State seems ahead of us, and their QB was in our program.

A quick review of SDSU roster shows DEs at 225 - 265, DT 270 - 290, and about 7 OL at 300 - 315. Four more at about 295.

We have DL / DE at 225 - 245, then about 5 guys at 310 or 350. Size not an issue there. Our OLine is significantly smaller, a lot in the 265 - 285 range.

Hawkins was gracious, but also referred to all of their out of state recruits. South Dakota is small state. They signed about 10 from Minnesota, others from Illinois, Iowa (about 12, mainly LBs and linemen). These are nearby, small states.

Add Rice, a second Texas game.

No idea when Coach Les contract ends.

In defense of Coach Stewart, I'm told the first game was an exhibition, and his goal wasn't to win. This is worse.

Tyler Les describes the Pavilions 50 fans as a "hostile environment".

It looks like Chancellor May is under the basket.

I'm hoping Babbs comes back, just like Duncan.

Was Toki or Suani out the whole game? I saw RFr OL Sami Fonongaloa in town this weekend, he's solid. 6'1", 271.

We potentially have a replacement for Harrell - Lance Babbs. He's still in town, unsure of his status. He was our #3 receiver in 2019, with 46 catches for 563 yards and only started the last 6 games.

Aggie bio: "Enjoyed best outing at Portland State (11/9), posting 10-for-168 receiving with TDs in the first (26 yds), second (5 yds) and fourth (23 yds) quarters... That yardage total was a team season high and the best single-game performance by an Aggie not named Keelan Doss since Chris Carter logged 190 vs. Montana in 2009."

We have size on our lines, unsure why our Oline may have regressed. We have two of the youngest coordinators in college football and a soft schedule. SDSU made comments which imply our defense is vanilla, and our DB said they did a good jon pinching / sealing the edge? Did we load the box?

Post-game press conference. Apparently we lost a few defensive players throughout the game. About 7 minutes.
