Once a week is a great pace. Are you planning, or do both of you even have time to do some kind of Sunday post-game show during the season? Along with a weekday drop.

Tubs of Idaho pick UC Davis at 4th Overall in the Big Sky:

One of these days, Davis will get out to play Stetson, Florida A&M, Mercer or Samford!

Heck, Georgia Tech? University of South Florida?

If the Aggies don't win trench warfare then this offense doesn't hum. Looking forward to see how they perform against Cal.

The $1000 dollar donor count hits home. Football means more in Missoula as a whole in the community, in Davis it matters moreso to anybody who is and was involved with the program I've found over the years. There are still high end donors that give more than $1000, as there are at all other programs as well, but yeah, if you're succeeding and you want to see Davis as a perennial contender in the Big Sky, we have to compete on a financial level.

Thought Plough being definitive about who's the Quarterback for this Aggie team is really important. We go as Miles Hastings goes - and by proxy offensively - so goes Lan.

Big Sky Football 2024 kicks off in 12 days live from Albuquerque!

A logical guess.

Great Podcast guys. Appreciate the shown word captions as you conversate.

Legit question: Who do you think the Coach was that tried to recruit Lan after he had signed with UC Davis and called The Aggies "a bunch of pansies." ? We all don't like the dude much, so would think it might've been Hauck...but seriously, that's an undignified thing to tell a recruit...especially after he had committed there.

Rex got a good stache going there.

You're right, I was getting my restaurants mixed up.

Plough gives a talk on his upbringing, history with football, relationships with Bob Biggs and Jim Sochor...and the importance of being in Davis.

Finding out Caffe Italia is closing! That's so sad, had a buddy who used to waiter there. He's a P.E. now for Caltrans. Great place for Saturday morning breakfast.

Nice to hear, the brains are still on the field.

My Dad played in the early '70's, and having met most of his teammates, have to say there are some impressive resumes, one retired at 50 as the Director of Engineering for Sun Microsystems, did analysis on the Moon rocks brought back by the Apollo program. One retired as CEO ( I believe ) of National Semiconductor, another is a certified Pulmonary Physician at Mass General and is on the staff at the Harvard Medical School... smart guys. When they get together at a game, it's literally khaki shorts, flip flops, a UC Davis Hawai'ian shirt, a beer and bitching about 2-a-days in August way back in '70. Ha ha ha

Nice, keep on that release schedule guys. Listeners will stay with you

Well, here's a topic, as a lot of the board is giving updates on it already - looks like Davis landed 7 solid transfers from the old Pac 12 and from the Mountain West...as well as Cal Poly's top tackler in 2022 and 2023. Is this the Plough effect? Flood the recruiting zone, make yourself known to the top FCS talent.

No coincidence, the guy's going to play here if he measures up, plain an simple...and yes, looks like Plough knows him and has total confidence in his ability to get open and make plays.

Ott was a big problem last time we were there in 2022.

Best comment was in the opening lines: "July in Davis is miserable."

Truer words were never spoken. That whole month peaks at the 4th of July, then everybody melts for 3 months straight.

Spent many a summer there just working in the campus labs, or interning in Sacramento - my friends would bartend, so we'd go out quite a bit, try not to get too dehydrated, met a lot of graduate students during the summer, many of them internationals...great life stories from all of them. Remember spending a lot of summer days at the Grad in '06 and even in '10 watching World Cup matches. Brazil matches brought out the best looking ladies, but the Spanish knew their futbol, they were very game savvy.

Through all of it, very, very hot.

Every top level FCS program is going to have to be masters at dealing with the transfer of players - both outgoing and incoming. The incoming being on the coaching/recruiting staff in making phone calls and taking them from players around the country. There are so many players at the FBS level who want to come find a place to play every week, and have great skills...and there are players at the DII and DIII levels who have what it takes to compete at the FCS level.

Nice! One of my old mentors, a brilliant, gregarious, slender man from Manchester, England once told me, "Once you start in on something new...it's best to do just that, START. Then you solve one problem, then another, before you know it you've built a cathedral."
