If Rocko or any admin are reading - please, don't wait till late January to spread the word.

They are basically irrelevant - however, they can serve as building blocks for programs looking to boost up their image (see Penn State win at Yankee Stadium, or maybe Michigan outcome vs. Texas) or at least give their alumni one last hurrah for the year. The only downside being that most of the star players do not play if they're declaring for the draft - or the Portal...so the rate of return on the game is somewhat diminished.

Me personally however, I've found most of the bowl games to be entertaining, my Dad and I were invested watching the New Mexico vs. Minnesota game - Eck had those Lobos flying around the field, but the play by the Gophers to seal the win was phenomenal, we were yelling out loud "Did he catch that? Whoa! What a play, what the hell was that safety doing over the top?"

Still entertaining, that's my two cents...it's also a chance for players-to-be in the program to come out and shine when the declaring players aren't in there.

I imagine the NCAA insists on it - they don't want to lose face.

Making the decision public, and exposing the language to the UC Davis legal community, which is quite extensive and diversified, can only help the Brothers Connors.

Brandon Rice for the win!

It's "Beer Me."

Want to make it is known if you are on this board and do not say hello while passing the AST.com tailgate for a.free beer or other beverage we will make you do double on the second try.

It's a pretty neat site - should be a manner of getting through the asphalt/concrete, core or beat out a hole that will let you drill, place the column, pour the column...after those all get set it's just an erector set - make a lot of field measurements fit all the pieces in and start attaching the building face materials, the skin, the seats, the interiors...then you start charging suite prices!

When do they start construction on the next phase!!!???

All the problems the Davis program has, are problems of a successful program. Most FCS programs would kill to be in our position as Quarterfinalists two years in a row with two different Quarterbacks.

I was going to get into this too.

If Pinnick returns, we'll likely be preseason ranked in the Top 5...and that's a hard one to swallow, because there will be tough games in Dallas against SMU, vs. Montana, vs. Eastern and @ Southern Utah in our first 7 games. Schedule on the whole is actually very favorable, but we have to go back to Moscow, ID late in the season and play Poly in Davis who should be peaking.

Pinnick taking the step forward will depend on how the Offensive Line responds in the offseason...I believe 3 of the starting 5 are seniors and graduating -- including Eli at blindside tackle. Step #1 in the off-season is finding out who will be playing LT. Then you have to find a Right Tackle, then you have to see where you're at with the Guard position with David Main graduating.

The Gold Lining to the 2025 M*A*S*H* unit is the experience everybody received across the board from having to play. That will be huge...as will seeing if Porter and Rex can get the medical redshirt and be back in action in 2026.

I think I may punch that ticket as well. We'll be having a tailgate at all home games.

State of the game right now, Illinois State in our red zone, and we are trying to catch up.

No comment till after the game

Could see Wrighster at Poly...
