almost a whole side sold out now. sales much better

ticket sales are... startinggggg to look a bit better

this is exactly what I was thinking :lol:

Perhaps they could give out free hot cocoa and mugs like this?

or literally give out ANYTHING like we have done for most home games this year. I dont know if the university thinks slapping the words "FCS PLAYOFFS" onto things makes them think students will come out (which personally I feel like the students as I have stated before, don't really understand how FCS vs FBS vs FCS Playoffs vs bowl games works and it makes it confusing of how important things are). Give out some more blankets or something!!! its gonna be chilly!

I agree with you there. I think advertising for sports games on campus and around town has been really bad (it seems to be improving this season but hasn't seemed as successful this week so far..). The giveaways seem to help too. I think the production of things like press conferences, the problems with tickets, lack of knowledge about the game unless you are on social media constantly (like you could walk through campus and not know football is being played due to lack of football advertising beyond tv's in the coho saying a game is happening) or flyers/posters advertising the SEASON or team itself in any coffee shops, restaurants or stores in town is just a fail year round. Montana and MSU do this and it seems to get the word out around the area (we could start with Davis and try to branch to leverage north valley/north bay support with this). Last years PR stuff around the playoffs was embarrassing and this year is seeming slightly better so far, but I agree if you are going to play with the big boys and try to get on espn and do all the facility stuff these improvements cannot happen without more public interaction. I was home last weekend in the bay and say like 5 sjsu football and cal football ads on streaming platforms and tv.

I think all these facility/conference things are important in tandem, I just dont get why it seems like the energy into these basics has not been as seemingly important to match that of the new exciting building/higher competition stuff.

Davis has plenty of students that would want to help with these sort of things... heck The Aggie Newspaper is in every coffee shop around town and I hear about the concerts on campus (like sunset fest and lawntopia) NONSTOP for weeks before they happen. I dont think its that Davis doesnt have resources or support, it just seems like the "sleeping giant" is still partly under anesthesia.

hope they sell fcs championship/playoff shirts this year! I love my long sleeved shirt that I got at the game last year with all the teams in the playoffs in the back :)

I really think its a matter of the literal worst timing to have these huge games. With quarter system everyone is having finals starting Friday through the entire week after the game. The attendance in the playoffs has been pretty terrible across the board I agree. The community aspect always surprises me that more people from the surrounding counties don't come to games (which I think is in part that they have never heard of any of the teams we are playing largely in FCS, including URI). I think the fact we have had almost 100% capacity (at least in tickets sold) this year is a testament to the growth into having solid fan support despite the potential letdown (that I hope ends up be less bad of a turnout) that the playoffs seem to face. I have more friends going to this game than last playoff game but I still know a ton of people who are taking 18 units and feel way too pressured (whether they actually have the time, are studying, or scroll on their phones wasting it) with upcoming finals to come out. Its unfortunate but just the truth.

we have reached a new low! No audio at all on the press conferences

The rhode island board has me chuckling. I found

I know this is FCS football but looking through UC Davis’s schedule, I haven’t heard of 3/4 of their opponents schools. Can’t tell if they beat anyone good

to be especially funny. I guess its east vs west coast biased but Long Island University, Hampton and Bryant are not exactly much better known teams (I will admit I dont know a single person who knew who utah tech was before we played them)

:lol: maybe should have chosen a less close to controversial donor

The University Farm School (now UC Davis) played against the Nevada Sagebrushers (University of Nevada) in their first-ever college football game. The game took place in Carson City, Nevada, in 1915, and the Aggies won with a score of 14-0.

I heard lane kiffin has decided to become the Mondavi Co-Offensive coordinator at UC Davis after the Mondavi family and dude who created pom have donated $30 million per year!

I haven't had a chance to watch but what do they say about UND over TTU? I swear the entire fcs media was acting like Tennessee Tech was mistreated for their rank and complaining about focus on SOS but then they got blown out

This is really bad even with all the festivities.

UC Davis vs URI. I think URI is a bigger draw than CCSU tbh

UC DAVIS ON ESPN 2! FIRST HOME ESPN PLAYOFF GAME

yeah same problem for them.

parents having same issue.

Tickets already better than next year
