My Dad is like that, he's been telling a lot of the same stories for 30 years, my sister and I have a about 3 or 4 dozen running jokes on his 'isms'. I still get a kick out of them, given all the travel he gets into in his retirement years, I always tease him he should have plenty of new stories by now!

Should've been in sales BGA. I don't know, maybe you are, ha ha, I sure am not.

There are chunks of tickets still available, absolutely. Just head here to 'Buy Tickets' - you can look around the stadium at what is available: Link

The sections 101, 102, 103, and 108 on the east side of the non-berm paid seating are sold to about 80% I think - that to me screams visiting fans. Still a lot of seats for sale in Section 109. I can think of a handful of times while being at UC Davis Health Stadium where it was actually packed enough that the MIB had to check my ticket number. I want that every home game!

Turnovers are always huge. I think both teams take care of the football during the game. Davis turns the warp speed O off and on throughout the game - we'll see what Plough's game plan yields on offense. I guarantee he'll have some different things planned for this one.

Ha, yeah, in the great Trojan War somewhere between the 12th and 13th century B.C. the two sides had two legendary warriors, the Greeks had Achilles, the Trojans had Hector -- Achilles was the greatest warrior of the battle, managed to kill Hector, but ultimately fell himself by the end of the War.

Davis so needs a walk-in UC Davis Team Store at the Stadium.

Might be the upset of the year right here in the FCS:

The stakes couldn't be any higher for Davis at this point of the year.

So, Big Sky has 4 teams in the Top 11, the Missouri Valley has 3 teams in the Top 5 and 5 in the Top 16.

I think this is a fair assessment. It'll have to be a some tremendous defensive game-planning and execution, a turnover margin win, and some luck for Davis to get the win in my opinion. The depth from MSU is simply a massive advantage.

Another key is the great players who play better will turn the tide, if Lan is bottled up, Hastings has to play out of his mind. If Tommy TD or the stable is running wild, then the Bobcats win, simple. I think Montana State has Achilles in this example - Davis working with a few Hectors, but we'll see. Davis does have the home field - the confines will be familiar - but in no way does a Davis crowd steer this game one way or another...unless, the Aggies are ready to yell, I'd be pleasantly surprised!

Nothing else matters - it's for all the marbles on Saturday in Davis.

No joke, Montana State is loaded. They have a full stable of powerful, fast backs and receivers.

These are all good points. Biggs had some, "how in the heck?" type wins - there were a lot of them.

Does Jake wake up from night terrors dreaming about that horrific ending to the 2018 quarterfinal game in Cheney?

Oh, gotcha

I thought the program winning @ Tulsa was also pretty special.

Two things jump out at me watching Montana State film from this season:

1) Elite offensive line play, and for that matter, great blocking out on the wings as well
2) Fantastic speed at the skill positions, the group regularly finishes long runs with TDs
