• Battle for the Golden Horseshoe: UC Davis @ Cal Poly
    If we are talking about drinks.. if anyone needs coffee recs let me know. Davis is always losing and adding coffee shops.

    I’ve watched a decent amount of CWU football (I had a pe teacher who went there so I randomly started following them years ago). If Fisk can do anything, it’s turning a program around and quickly. I think PSU will be wildly improved this year. While I think the ags have a good chance to make this a statement game with our returning talent, I think walking into PSU and expecting the norm (despite that almost upset last time) would be a mistake. Fisk is a killer coach, I was really surprised he left CWU for PSU. I honestly thought he would get the call for a coordinator position in the PNW at the FBS level or get a job somewhere like Idaho or Cal Poly.

    Here is my "master plan" stadium rendering if we joined the mountain west. This is a long term vision but seems like something realistic size wise8aqxitbtp37lm1s3.png

    heres another version too:

    Hot dang this is actually pretty good! This would be an ideal situation imo. Get that revenue stream and different types of seating with the beer garden on the north side (especially since the team store or whatever is not really used there anyways) and then keep that character of the grass under the screen that everyone loves. I love how you got that press box in, the only thing different obviously would be that its gonna be taller and wider than this ai version (as you mentioned). I think the final version will create a nice sound barrier to continue making the stadium feel more bowl-like than it already is. That leads me to the only major thing I would hope would look different in my brain which would be to improve concession buildings on the east side to be larger and able to handle more people (maybe design in mind to have stands built on top at some point?

    I was at a bar in the north bay and it was torturous!! It seemed like Spain should have had 10 goals lol
  • UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow
    this is a really interesting clip. Again, it really does seem like a matter of when not if. I like our position. We play in the FCS, continue to have a great chance to win a national title, don’t rush joining, working up our facilities and funding and then approach our already committed conference and say “hey! We’re ready!” I know she says the MW is not required to choose Davis (but they must talk to Davis before adding any other FCS team), but the comments about having a good faith, serious conversation when they feel Davis is “ready” as she puts it mixed with her stuff about the sac market, etc seemed notable.

    She commented also that they chose Davis because of its resources, size and academic background. I have heard the conference repeat again and again how Davis is committed to meeting the MW when it comes to funding support.

    Dude this is amazing! Thanks for sharing. What was the crowd split for Argentina vs Spain?
  • 2026 preseason thread
    I actually think St. George where Utah Tech is might be cooler and more exciting than Cedar City. While I think utah tech further dilutes the big sky to an extent, I do think St. George is a cool, growing metro that is really close to some great established national and state parks (whereas it seems like Cedar City is more small college town).

    Now to address your actual question. If you like parks and nature there is awesome stuff around Cedar City (weber has cool mountains too) but I think SLC area is cool to explore from an urban sense. The mountains are not super far from weber, but cedar city has that red rock feel and awesome national monuments like cedar breaks. The views from both stadiums are amazing. I think Weber probably has a better crowd (?) and nicer stadium (they also have a great basketball arena). Weber has a pretty big stadium with it being kinda like cal memorial in the sense that its cut into the hill on one side. The weber and suu track situation puts you a bit away from the game though. Cedar City vs Ogden seems more like college town (but sleepy still) vs suburb...
