@DrMike, it was Brewfest, we have the Hawk, and it was fairly miraculous. I like the Hawktobertest miracle.

Not to continue with the Montana facilities envy fest, but here is a link to their "Champions Center," of which the weight and locker rooms pictured above are a part. It is astonishing. https://gogriz.com/facilities/?id=12

I think posters here are absolutely right - we need something like that at UCD first before we build up the stadium. But now I'm starting to think that expanding the stadium would be less expensive!!!

And their weight room... :gasp:

I guess "Wide Right" is already taken by Florida State...

@CA ForeverGood lord, that's an actual photo and not an artist's rendering.

And i agree that we first need the amenities @blueforce listed, and we first need to consistently (read multiple years in a row) stuff the stadium to capacity before entertaining expansion. But it's fun to dream after our long walk through the desert. I think that's what these fan forums are for.

@DrMike the suspense is killing us! Davis Enterprise coliseum?

Not quite yet.

I agree. And I am definitely one to get ahead of myself. I’m already preparing for the move up to the mountain west conference!

We do like to get ahead of ourselves.

slo has the ocean; so not exactly

Well, there’s a little mud.

I'd never throw mud at Cal Poly, particularly after our forgotten years during the Gould era. Both schools tend to attract very similar students. Poly was always my favorite rivalry game when I played - good hard fought games, with mutual respect. Sac State on the other hand... jerk players and a weird student body. I'm sure you'll be back very soon.

@Kerberos well said; totally agree with your post.

No kidding - I read the title and thought the party was over! Please change title to “Aggies VISIT prison.” Some of our members are elderly - don’t want to cause any cardiac issues.

Great to see student section (relatively) full until the end. A gut check win like that might convince students to keep coming back.

Aggie Pride is back!

@69aggie I totally agree. Those threads make me sad, actually. I had beeen looking forward to several years of Sac and UCD both being competitive. Sounds like there are real problems over there.

@zytheCorrection - the final score was bad, but that was not a bad game. Building a 49-10 lead with 9 minutes to go is good. We let them get too close in the end, but that was a good game.

It's not great to be featured on Bad Beats, but I am really not bothered at all. I would prefer to have a coach who gives his reserves an opportunity for significant game time and calls off the dogs when we are up 49-10, rather than keep the first team in and run the score up to 70-10. A lot of coaches in the Big Sky do that. Hawkins put the first team back in when it started getting too close for comfort. We're good.

@DrMike, I think the only conference that makes sense for the Ags is MWC (imagine annual regional rivalries with Fresno and Reno). But when I say "makes sense" I acknowledge the incredible amount of money, competitive success, and fan support it would require to move up. We are 3 wins out of 4 games into this season, so I grant that some of us and Bob Dunning are getting ahead of ourselves. It's just been so long since I've been this optimistic about the program that I am allowing myself to get carried away.
