good video except he said Davis has a 20k stadium if I heard correctly

It’s like the vandal defense wasn’t told mellott was still a runner after their first game against them

Idaho’s defense is embarrassing right now

you can say that again, if Idaho loses Ecks reasoning for that call will be what? Momentum?

75 on Idaho is having a rough and cold night so far. Dude slammed right into his belly

he seems to ONLY bet big hahaha

yep, opened a whole for sure, guy somehow almost got him but was too easy

12 rushing touchdowns this season from mellott… damn

okay which jerseys do we like more folks?

Eck is an amazing coach until he decides to become a bettting man and goes for it on 4th or does.. that random onside kick?

Damn that throw was just a bit high from Layne!

something about Luke wood is just a tad flashy for me, I don’t know he’s just a bit too vocal about stuff (especially with his brother being the sac12 dude), and I’m someone who wishes Davis had some clarity on movement… he’s just a lot. Also what ever happened to their new basketball arena at the well??? Seems like a perfectly nice guy though

exactly! Bigger footprint for our team too :) especially with the rise last season!

hahaah!! I get it! I’m up in Marin so it seems like we have some similarity in mountain bike trail type and access stuff… as well as being just close enough to Davis to be reminded of the sports constantly haha

yeah i think a more structured parking system will be needed, which i think is totally possible. We have so much parking by the vet center and in the garages… just have to organize it for sure

thank you for all the highlights and stats you’ve been posting! Really awesome :)

I thought that’s what it was! Some great riding around most of the schools in the MW. I’d love to get some Colorado riding in, or even Albuquerque seems like they could have some cool desert riding. Getting an excuse to go on a Wyoming road trip is always a good one ;). Are you local to NorCal or somewhere else? I could talk on a thread about bikes and access for ages haha. The general public can go to Air Force games obviously huh? I’m sure it’s an interesting environment!

thanks man! I do have to say as an Aggie fan I have a lot of respect for you guys. I love the stadium renovation btw, you guys really do a great job imo with the online podcasts and such too :) looking forward to the game! Thank you for the well wishes, if you ever come to Davis I’m sure this forum could help you out for some recommendations around here.

+1. I think Gary May’s whole comment about athletics being the doormat to a university (probably butchered that paraphrase), especially considering we are already a d1 program, truly would be echoed with an FBS move. For me, it’s just wild that we have a school with 310,000+ living alumni, and live in a metro of 20 million, and barely anyone sees our games, or even know we have a football team because they never see them on television, never see clips posted online by major sports accounts (partially because of that television thing), and don’t really get the UC Davis football brand spread through clothing, regional advertising, etc. I think Davis being scheduled against cal every other year, but then getting butchered, or having to explain that we would never regularly play, or face the likes of Stanford, unlv, Nevada, cal in the post season is not only confusing, but also deflates how excited people get. when I was telling friends we could be playing southeastern Missouri state or Illinois state in the playoffs, they were so freakin confused as average fans of not only who those teams were (considering again the FCS just doesn’t get national coverage very often), but honestly seemed less interested in the game itself then. Also, I know scouts can grab players from any level, but recruiting and pro prospects obviously are boosted by fbs membership and being shown on the national stage, as well as being impressed by new facilities.

I did a little digging into attendance numbers for other teams, and could see our trajectory (again all hypothetical but in a good case), be something like that of coastal coastal Carolina that averaged 8,900 fans in 2014 as FCS members, but since transitioning in 2016, are averaging 18,000 fans post renovation and joining the SunBelt. Just something I was curious about.
