UCI has really stepped up these last few years. Riverside seems down?

I agree. I get the whole landscape of equestrian is small, but I also have not heard a ton about STUNT either as a d1 sport (I don’t mean that as a diss but a legit question/personal observation)? In a perfect world we could have both but personally something like women’s rowing going d1 seems more obvious?

Yeah I think it has to do with stagnation as of recent. I agree we have had exciting players and a couple decent seasons but since 2021 I think from most people I’ve talked to they feel the team is going to finish just above .500 but not make march madness. The branding and general vibe from football also seems much higher energy. Plough is just such a good communicator to the fans. I do think the MW should bring more energy (even with a less stellar record when we first join I assume). Long term vibes are good, but while I do personally think Les is a good coach, I wonder if someone more energetic would help.

Came back to Davis to visit friends this weekend and found savemart to be full of Fresno state merch. I know they are a valley company but how the hell do Davis stores have more Fresno merch than the college in the town..

Hunter Ridley has entered the transfer portal.

That game was awesome to watch by the end. Missed the first half but it was really great to see the defense step up at the end even after an exhausting first half.

This is incredible. Sac is now playing the big boys. Scheduling a team that literally started sponsoring a football team a year ago, going to Fresno, paying Youngstown from Ohio to come to Sac, playing Maine and the 2017 Big Sky champions SUU is some high-caliber stuff. Leaving the Big Sky without an FBS invite/conformation of FBS independence acceptance was a stroke of genius by Luke Wood and company!

In all seriousness this is crazy, especially when Wood said a few months ago now, that in 2 weeks he would have conference news. The goal post never stops moving. I am surprised they wouldn't pay low tier FBS schools to at least have some resemblance of an FBS schedule (considering Wood from the get go said they will 100% be playing an FBS schedule in 2026), but instead are playing mediocre fcs schools that no one in CA knows about.

You are correct. I more just mean that I think for a school getting a new HC this seems like a good one.

Kirby Moore will be a very good coach for WSU. My concern is Pinnick going to a school that seems to loose leadership/coaching every single year. If he wants to be highlighted or go to the next level, stability seems important.

Happy to hear that our NIL offer to Caden was on par with NIL at top of the FCS. Important for the future.

Plough also mentions that a ton of p4 qb's have reached out to play here next season.

Seriously. He was awesome!

That game was amazing. Much better than any championship I can remember in recent years

Game.

Update: why do you not just force teams to go for 2 in ot

As a fan of neither team this game is so entertaining… if this was Davis I would have no hair left on my head from pulling it out

The whole rittenhouse diabetes story is even more impressive

HUGE. Wow, I have to say what I felt in our game against isu this year was the maturity with rittenhouse and spack and its shows.

yeah I don’t understand what they mean. Oregon and Montana are some of the loudest in all of college football

And another on the punt team. What is happening.

I don’t know if Montana state knows how to line up, 7 false starts blows my mind, especially with a bigger Montana state crowd.
