54% is brutal. That's just unacceptable.

Friday night must watch is EWU @ Montana --- EWU won the first matchup earlier in the year, and an Eagle player was pretty vocal in his criticism about Montana being seeded for the playoffs.

Painful, but here are the homer highlights from SDSU, pathetic crowd, but such is football during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Massive victory for the IW program, they've been getting a lot of talk all season. Impressive team.

Most of these guys are out of Davis' league, but I enjoyed the on-field film for the Mater Dei vs. Servite game played in Anaheim last night. Of note, a lawsuit was recently filed against the Mater Dei program on behalf of a former player alleging that ritual hazing led to a brain injury. The LA Times and OC Register are all over it.

The game plans have been bad and the execution looks to be a combination of being outmatched and a lot of frustration.

As for the out-of-conference match-ups...sounds like we're just not making enough phone calls, or aren't looking and lobbying as hard as we should in advance. I mean, Davis should honestly have their 2022 schedule set, should've been set last year, had nothing but time on our hands.

Looks like San Diego doesn't have a set schedule yet except for the 9/10/22 game @ Poly.

Maybe we can get Portland State to come down...but that would mean 4 straight road games for them to open '22. That isn't happening, and 3 of those games are @ SJSU, @ Washington and @ Montana...yikes.

We're probably looking out of conference.

Whatever we do RA, we need to move people and we need to move them consistently.

Jackedforlife, thanks for your input on the Davis board. Aggies have a long relationship with South Dakota State, and certainly, seeing the progress over the last decade in Brookings, it's something to aspire to.

I was in Brookings back in 2010 I believe on at a student conference (in Fargo). There was not much to see between Fargo and Brookings on that bus ride, but you can see that in both communities, football means a lot and the gameday experience is obviously very active and lively.

Gilliam's swan son in '22. Need to put in the work and see him off right.

Tough as a mother schedule next season -- who will Davis get Week 3? Looking at 5 home games again, it's good to have a close one @ Sac though.

Ag Science and Econ baby, come learn how to make that farm money. A family friend's son played at Davis not too long ago, majored in International Ag Development, was a hell of a power blocker and recruited off the high school playfields in Portland by Gould. Got caught up in the regime change with Hawkins' wide open, space-creating offense. Wasn't his game, but he was used here and there, and you can see the difference when you've got a power blocker vs. a space blocker, opened some huge holes in that @ EWU playoff game.

Continuing on the QB issue. What do we have in the freshmen Grant Harper and the big kid Mitchell Dixon? Dixon is 6'-4", 220 lbs, that's an NFL bodied QB...and he got the schollie to UC Davis so his head isn't full of sawdust. Let the competition begin...again.

Just a tad. Look, Davis is not a rock 'em sock 'em program at this level...it starts and ends at QB, and by extension, excellent play up front especially in pass protection. We had much better OL play in '18.

Rodrigues will be a senior in '22
Hastings will be a RSo.
Is it Tompkins time? Montana State makes it work, they put their best playmakers on the field at all times.

I suggest dipping into the Northwest pool. Different mindset up there...and some bigger, meaner kids.

Maybe the staff can take a recruiting trip through the Midwest before they head back home...though not a very impressive performance by your program to talk about locally.

Chalk it up as a road playoff experience. Whatever the game plan was at Tulsa, that all eroded week after week this season. If it had been a Montana/Montana State playing year, you could see Davis easily at 5-6.

Hell, maybe Davis can roll Pint back there. Guaranteed not to throw a pick, but might fumble a time or two.

This is a very physical SDSU team, who built their program trying to beat NDSU...the class of the FCS. They were in the Spring Final, and they've got a good shot to get back there. Tough, well coached, explosive with playmakers. Really, really good football team.

Going to be a hell of a game.

If the dude comes back just ignore him y'all.

Eastern has their hands full, UNI playing very tough on defense...classic Panther game plan. Look more physical.

Rest of the playoff games still going on look very competitive.

Holy Cross survives Sacred Heart. Looking forward to seeing Holy Cross in the final.
Kennesaw rolls Davidson...another tough first round match up survived.
