Anybody at the game?

Sac vibe is tribal, little pockets around the area follow their high schools, colleges, and then pro teams like the Kings (and eventually the Republic) will take fans. Also draw from the Bay Area, Stanfurd/Kal alumni.

Davis' strong suit is the older alumni who remember the long streaks of winning, the decades of DII dominance, they have Aggie Football ingrained in their soul, but like all alumni, we move on and live our lives, raise our kids, pursue our careers. 2007-2015 was a dark, dark time for the program. The transition was not easy, that's basically a decade of football where the new stadium was great, but the level of football, program excellence, outcome just hadn't caught up. There were exciting moments, but if you don't have consistent winning tendencies, enough people won't be present to see them all.

When you win, like last season, people come to the games, you host a NCAA Playoff game, the vibe totally changes (and we were a late defensive meltdown away from hosting a semi-final game last season). Nothing brings in more energy and money than winning...and nothing brings in winning like a program and athletic department willing to do what it takes to get there. Hiring Hawk changed everything, the program is back, and the momentum has to be maintained to keep this thing going to that pinnacle we all want in Frisco, Texas.

With all this rain I likely won't have cause to be on campus this Friday. Drat!

The only thing that will increase crowd size at Davis is winning. Just keep winning, and the "good" days of 8500 showing up will turn into steady 10,000's, 11,000's...

...and when we're packed to brim consistently for about 5-10 years, and depending on how the Rocky Mountain / Pacific FBS schools shake out conference-wise, we may find a football fit at that level.

For now however, I think we're an exciting brand of football at the FCS level...and it does help to not have to compete directly with Stanfurd/Kal for the types of kids we recruit academically and athletically.

Welcome to the Boards!

While asking a clerk what's the best thing to do in town on a Saturday night after the @ Fresno game in 2009 her reply was, "You just did it."

Brock Galvin interviews Hawk:

7 stories in Davis?

Play him at Nose?

So it's official, the Grad is just going to be gone?...or will they relocate?

A little bit of a sniffle for me, some great seasons tailgating out on the grass there, but we move on and up with the new facility. Very exciting.

I remember launching bottle rockets for Fluid Dynamics on the lawn that is now the ARC, and shooting hoops where Segundo Dining Commons is now across from the ARC...little by little, the old memories are built over, and new memories are made. ha ha
