Central Washington (D II) beating Montana in first half.

Question for the group ...

For 2026, did Sacramento State cancel all Big Sky scheduled games? Been reading that we do not have a game scheduled vs. Sac in 2026 but couldn't we just keep them scheduled for the last game of the year? Any reason that we can only play them at the beginning of season (non-conference games)?

For this upcoming season, we have nine new players on our roster. That level of turnover seems crazy to me (glad football is different). I hope going forward we develop a culture in our MBB program that is more stable with players sticking around.

Based on 2025 roster, looks like we picked up additional transfers/PWO:

Teeg Slone - DB (American River)
Isaac Mancera - K (UNLV)
AJ Hasson - OL (Washington State) and a Davis High kid
Dylan Mauro - P (SW Oklahoma State)

I feel like I am driving by an auto accident on the other side of the freeway, I cannot look away from what Sac State Football is doing.

We are observing two dramatically different approaches to building a winning football program within the same market . . . I am not sure Sac has the right or wrong approach, but i think we can observe and replicate the good decisions they make while hopefully avoiding the bad.

Wonder how many players from this class that committed to FBS schools will transfer to Davis?

Great reporting (video) on Lan.

Mike Moroski played QB and pitched for UC Davis a long, long, long time ago.

In today's climate, I am not sure if it is even possible because of the time requirements for each sport, but if a player wants to try (and the coaching staffs are willing), do not let classes get in the way.

If anyone goes to the scrimmage today, would love a recap with respect to any player(s) that stand out.

Anyone go to any of the spring practices?

2005 game vs. Stanford. 20-17. Although we only finished the season at 6-5, we were 0-2 going into that game.

2021 game vs. Tulsa. 19-17. Finished the season at 8-4, with a loss in the 1st round of the playoffs.

2018 game vs. San Jose State. 44-38. Finished the season at 10-3 with a loss in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

2024 game vs. #5 Idaho. 28-26. We were 3-1 going into that game but were without a quality win.

As noted on "X", players entering the portal (so far), all dbs:

Cotton
Alexandar
Bains
Minor
Langley

I know Cotton is gone, but hopefully everyone else stays.

just starting to pay attention to basketball this year. Can someone give me a quick injury update on our roster? I have to guess that Bora is hurt (again).

Got the win,
Got a bye next week,
AND got a number of key players back from injury on both sides of the ball.

Must say we are in a good spot as we approach the final stretch of the season (regular).

Question for Miles,

Would like to know what he did in the off season in improve his scrambling abilities.

Not saying that he is a significant threat to run with the ball, but I have noticed he has improved on his ability to extend plays and find the open man verse just throwing the ball away.

Regarding a possible move to the FBS. Some quick stats on fan attendance.

Average attendance for all FBS games in 2023 was 42,000.
Average attendance for Pac 12 in 2023 was 49,000.
Average attendance for the Mountain West in 2023 was 24,000.

Average attendance for UC Davis in 2023 was 11,000. FYI, this ranked us 22 out of the 128 programs at the FCS level. To get into the top 10 for the FCS level, we would have to average north of 15,000/game.

With respect to attendance for 2024 we are trending higher (at this point of the season) compared to last year. We will see if that continues for the balance of the season..

Dwight and Brock,

Do you have an email address for the Podcast that you are willing to share/post.

Based on the weather forecast, ticket sales to date, and the fact that going to the game is part of the student dorm orientation, I expect a sell-out crowd (15,000) on Saturday.

Should be a great college football environment to experience.

FYI, the last home game attendance was OK considering the students were not back in school (reported attendance of 8,743).

Plough said something that i think makes a whole lot of sense, he said that at this point in the season, you want to gather wins, continue to get better as a team, and play your best football in November and December. Both Texas and Utah are good teams, my guess is that at the end of the season their records will reflect this. Although our wins against these two teams were not dominating, a win is a win. Also, it seems like we are banged up on the D side so if we "heal up" and blow out Utah Tech (like we should), we should be in good position against Idaho and the balance of the Big Sky.
