    Just as well this wasn’t the game on ABC.

    It’s a funny thing because it looks like a blowout and is no doubt. But could have just easily been going the other way minus some key fudge ups, largely on special teams.
  • FCS Playoffs Quarterfinals: Illinois State (10-4) @ #8 UC Davis (9-3)
    I think we are done scoring. The question is by how much we will lose.

    Unable to tackle Dawson, especially once he gets into gear.
  • FCS Playoffs Quarterfinals: Illinois State (10-4) @ #8 UC Davis (9-3)
    be even better if it was talking about something other than Montana.

    I don’t expect any kicker to hit a 50 yarder every time but our kicking game has been bad all around.
  • FCS Playoffs Quarterfinals: Illinois State (10-4) @ #8 UC Davis (9-3)
    In fairness, neither team has had good answers on defense.
  • FCS Playoffs Quarterfinals: Illinois State (10-4) @ #8 UC Davis (9-3)
    Don’t tell me this is going to be one of THOSE officiating crews. Unless they have cameras we don’t.
  • FCS Playoffs Quarterfinals: Illinois State (10-4) @ #8 UC Davis (9-3)
    If we are going to be this bad on special teams we need to boom it out of the end zone until further notice. Not the first time this year for this kind of runback.

    Yotes having a tough day at Montana but hey at halftime they cut to a clip of our pregame and highlighted Caden’s play and Plough’s mustache lol.

    sounds like it needs some optimization to make the menu and process work. For a staff that may be inexperienced or doesn’t work together every day, you need menu items that are single step and don’t have to be prepared to order during a rush. For example, foil-wrapped brisket sandwiches and hot dogs can be fulfilled as fast as the customer can say the word because prep can stay just ahead of fulfillment. Beef nachos, while delicious, are better suited to a seat delivery or mobile order model due to their multi-step made-to-order nature. Pizza is hard to execute well in a stadium. It’s also important to make sure the soda wells and kegs are iced down hours ahead or beverage service will slow down in foam. Someone in athletics can PM me if they want. I’m pretty familiar with making this sort of thing work.

    it’s been a long time since I’ve been there. What do they typically have on the menu?

    oh for sure! Could you imagine they’d probably want us to circle up to chant the principles of community in iambic pentameter.

    But it’s fun to be able to have provoking if not spirited conversation and debate here without it devolving into the gutter. One of the better corners of the internet for sure.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    what we are seeing unfold is basically the equivalent of a wacko on MUNI yell delusions at no one in particular right before they take a dump in a Burger King cup. Don’t make eye contact and move to another car at the next stop.

    I don’t have inside knowledge but I would predict that to be tricky unless it was a paid advertisement. If the university endorses something like a forum, they are probably going to want to moderate the content.

    If we are talking only direct revenue, almost no stadium projects other than rental tents and trailers pencil, even at higher levels. This is an investment with more risk perhaps, but also greater potential for indirect dividends. As to whether the suites are poorly placed, I can’t say, though I will concede perching a building on top of the press box is likely to look weird and I’d probably suggest just removing the current press box and integrate into a new structure for more space.

    Can the problem be solved externally? - Yes. Should the problem exist in the first place? - No.

    For as much joy as coaches and professors may find, mid-level bureaucrats in areas like student affairs and student housing have found none, long suffering from stubborn policy absolutism. Hopefully they can find what joy is.

    It’s hard to know what motivates people. Probably fair that most people are convinced by money most of the time, but it isn’t always the case. One time I turned down a considerable promotion because I wasn’t feeling it with boss or the city I would have had to move to.
  • FCS Playoffs Quarterfinals: Illinois State (10-4) @ #8 UC Davis (9-3)
    Plough mentioned this was a problem even for guys on the team living in the dorms - potentially have to sleep on floors or get hotels. I’d love to hear a compelling reason from student housing why people can’t stay till Sunday even if no dining hall. It’s not like they’re paying OT to clean the hallway carpets on the weekend.

    yeah I doubt they were planning for anything like that back then and it’s a non-sexy investment now because you can’t see it. But there’s also the matter of being a responsible property owner. Even if you don’t care about streaming, calls and texts still need to go through, even for 6 days a year. Bad situations in a crowd get worse real fast if emergency calls and texts don’t go through.
