I bet there are dumb contract reasons, i.e. if he hits a certain number of days on the main team from the practice team, he's due x-dollars and the new guy isn't.

In a driving rainstorm vs Chico State. Amazing effort, and the the week before he ran for 300+ @ SF State.

Kevin Daft was on and off a handful of NFL teams, but I don't think he played any downs.

edit: he's not listed either, so that's probably why Elliot isn't listed--didn;t play any snaps.

Went and poked around pro-football-reference and discovered thet they don't list Elliot Vallejo as an NFL player at all, nevermind one that graduated from Davis: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/schools/californiadavis/

And particularly with UCD since Davis sounds more like a surname than other UC locations.

Was randomly reading about the Irvine Company the other day and learned that the UC is named for the Irvine famliy not the city--the campus actually predates the city by a half dozen years.

The more you know...

As someone whose high school math teacher constantly and smugly and irritatingly called them "THE University of California," I think they should be UC Berkeley, like the other nine campuses.

And I prefer UC Davis, as well.

Nicest stadium in the Mountain West! ;)

The ending of the SDSU game was pretty exciting--find a replay if you can.

Is being down 38-0 at half better or worse than having one's opponent drop forty-four (44) points in one quarter (ISU/USU game)?

Agreed!

Weather delay?!

edit: just looked at the radar--wow, big thunderstorm exiting San Jose.

I like that Stanford keeps playing Davis. :) It can't be good for their strength of schedule.

Kinda looks like they split the media guide into two documents:

2023 Football "Prospectus" : https://ucdavisaggies.com/documents/2023/7/23/_23_Informatoin_Guide.pdf

Football Record book: https://ucdavisaggies.com/documents/2023/8/16/_22_FB_Record_Book.pdf

They'll probable join the MAC and put out a release about "shared educational values blah blah."

(The most logical thing for them to do is join the Mountain West, but logic has no part in what is going on now.)

So dumb.

Other than the above, I like the idea of staying (relatively) local.

Big Sky being a "non-elite" conference <-- them's fightin' words!

The travel ban hasn't been an issue yet, with four Big Sky states on the list (five, if you count the past games against S. Utah), so I don't know why it would suddenly become one.

Good heavy metal scene there. :up:

SMC has been a nearly annual game; ditto USF. UCD has had a couple home/home arrangements with Gonzaga--seems like that will continue?
