    LOL. It’s not my gut ….the legs have absolutely gone. My mind ……well I often find myself in a room thinking to myself “why am I in here and what was I looking for”

    I like his calls of the game. He just sounds a bit more professional and has good voice quality.

    Video with history of the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in Stockton. I watched a number of games there - including UOP vs San Jose State (with Steve DeBerg at QB), Santa Clara with Dan Pastorini, University of Idaho, Long Beach State and maybe Fullerton State of the defunct PCAA. Also the big 1978 game in which the Ags won 31-14 and as I recall UOP lost to Cal that year 28-14.

    I played high school basketball and baseball with the guy at the beginning of the video. Time has put a few inches around the belt on him. Of course I used to be able to dunk and now you’d be lucky to slip 2 sheets of 20 lb. bond paper under my shoes when I jump.

    UNI has replaced Will McElvaim with Theo Day at QB. They did that in the Sac State game and that is when they pulled away. Day is a much better passer (and a big dude). I think UNI is going to make some noise in the MVFC.

    Definitely best games were EWU-Montana and SFA and Sam Houston.

    EWU had nearly 200 more yards in offense than Montana, but the kick off return for a TD kept Montana in the game late. Montana frustrated Barriere for a good portion of the game, keeping him in the pocket and pressuring him with just 3 down lineman, but later I think Barriere realized he would be more effective outside the pocket giving him more of an option to run (and he passed for over 400 yards). EWU played good defense for them. Kind of interesting that Montana held Washington to 7 and EWU posted 34. Humphries really forced things in the fourth quarter. I think if Montana had a better QB than Humphries, they would have won.

    all 3 UCD victories over UOP (first in 1978 with Moroski at the helm passing for over 300 yards and a 31-14 win) were D2 vs D1.

    yah, buzzard was much better. And yes Saturdays calling was a comedy of errors.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    You have got to be kidding. Went to bed thinking there is no way the Ags were going to win, then the magic started. Just finished watching it. Give credit to the coaches for shaking things up both offensively and defensively. Blitzing and pressure really befuddled Beaudry and then magic was magic. Blocked kick, interception, and tipped pass that was completed - some things have to go your way in special seasons.

    Bottom line on my mind is that these days you really need a mobile qb to give yourself the best chance to win. The first TD with TT was set up by a packed box thinking that it would be a sure run. O’Keefe and Harrell were having a picnic in the end zone.

    Well it’s late back here. Going to bed. Hope the Ags right the ship.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    Just like the first half of last game - looks like the other team wants it more.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    No big plays on offense. And when you go 3 and out you put pressure on your defense. Gonna need a turnover at some point.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    yes. Rodrigues much more nimble and always has the threat to run.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    I like the radio announcer better than Marsh. Just my opinion. Maybe voice quality.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    Sochor field at Aggie Stadium. Succeeds Toomey Field at Aggie Stadium.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    the intercepted pass was open, he just sailed it. Throwing on the run or stepping up is different than throwing set in the pocket.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    I think the biggest issue is using a different quarterback and the adjustments required.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    Well -1 on turnover margin this half. But terrible kick. High spin rate - no distance.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    That ball was not catchable not matter what marsh says.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    I think I would have brought in TT for 2 and 3 downs with 3 yards to go. Of course hindsight is 20/20.

    Man. Crawford never drops the ball …..
