I noticed that too on my last trip. University mall just sits and after all that fussing and fighting with the city for permits. G street still closed off. Pedestrian only. Permanent? Downtown Davis’s still a very vibrant little town at night. Last Tuesday night was some sort of sorority thing and I was at the Aggie Inn when scores of young women were walking towards downtown after 12:00 am. Place has a very safe vibe to it. Gotta say I still miss the place!

Is there anything about what MSU stated reflected on the MSU thread? And what’s this about “this ain’t Cali”? So this happens only with people from California? I get what MSU72 said and I deplore it, but I think this guy may have some bigger issues with California people.

All in all a very depressing game. I have no idea what Hawkins meant when he called this team the “best ever” Aggies team, when it’s clearly not. I would not like to be in the Hawkins household now. The team needs some shaking up and it should start with the OC and the DC and Hawkins is nearly powerless as far as his son being the OC is concerned. I know we’ve had a very tough schedule but I sense something’s off with the team. And I also do not buy the “we’re too hard to recruit to here” line. We’ve done it before, why not now? IMHO..

How can I watch this game?

I always loved the steam ENGINE! I hate to be picky, but I don’t think it’s the same old one which as I recall was all black. This is a ringer! But I truly do not care. This one was probably engineered by the regents to reduce the insurance premiums on the original black old thing. I can’t get by the enterprise paywall, so I don’t know the details. One problem I recall is when I took my son the the games he would always want to go the see the “steam engine” and then I couldn’t get him back to the stands! Whether or not it’s the original, if it gets us 7 points I am a fan.

I loved the way Lilly looked on paper, but she really didn’t perform that well on the floor. Her HS stats were off the sheets, but you have to be really tough to play in this league. In WBB getting the rebound is much more about will and toughness than a few inches of height. She sadly didn’t have that.

I agree with most of that. I still say that our QB situation is very questionable. Hastings throwing an interception in the end zone was terrible. I cannot recall the last time an Aggie QB did that. I know it probably happened before, but Hastings does have a propensity to throw into coverage and get
Picked off. I wonder if you can even coach not to do that?

Not that it matters, but any thoughts on why Newman quit the team? Memory wise, not many people have done that at davis.

Stealth

Very impressive NC!

If anything or all breaks down on the OL we need a very mobile QB. So I would go with TT. I would guess the cal will blitz every time on Saturday

I love Dunning but I think he has some creds recently.

I think it is a very effective psychological motivator for someone you respect to call you “the best ever” as you will do all that you can to prove it correct. I seriously doubt any of the marine commanders in WWII would tell their men “well, you are very talented” before they went into battle. “You are the best and prove it” they were most likely told. IMHO.

85 no problem for us. Bears maybe. I read a long time ago that the “sure way” for a FBS team to defeat an FCS is to: sub a lot in the first 3 quarters and then lay it on the line in the fourth quarter using all the starters against an exhausted and reduced sized FCS team. The one thing that this leaves out is the heart left in the FCS team in the 4th Quarter. I want to believe Hawk will bring this out in our guys. I am not at all pessimistic about next Saturdays game. We could do it.

I believe all Hawks practices are closed. But maybe someone could get a student concessions person to grab a quick look to see which QB is with the first unit. Or use a drone. Maybe a silly idea!

What happened to the blue gold scrimmage. Did I just miss it?

The guy was a player no doubt. Love the music too. I see a little TT and LL there as well. UG is just plain steady and great. I think we are going to be pretty good this year. QB still the big deal.

Pickle ball anyone? Probably the fastest growing sport in the world.

Does anyone know how to remove the old Aggie tapatalk site form the current Aggie sports site. Very annoying and it is very tight and Will not go away easily.

From what I gather from the roster info, Dixon has never thrown a pass in D1 or any level of college football. So I don’t know where all the enthusiasm over him is coming from. But, what the heck do I know? Newman had very impressive stats at CCSF. That I do know.
