I’m not a fbs denier to use your description, but one that believes we need to have the resources to be competitive at that level. So my answer is another question. What are the average expenses of MW football participants (coaches salaries, NIL, travel, food for the players, etc) vs the anticipated revenue from the MW? At the moment, we’re way below the resources that the top fcs schools have. I don’t want to see us being a tune up fight for the heavy hitters. We’re going to need big time resources to be competitive at that level. In pizza terms, Woodstocks is great but we need Dominos.

Its just a strange venue. Visitors and home team fans are on the same side. There is an overhang that helps get you out of the rain. Regardless, i hope we really lay some wood on them this year in their “house.”

“And penalties have really hurt the Aggies.”
Ha, nothing has changed playing the Hornets at home.

I’m up in the air about going to Portland. We’re definitely going to SD the following week for that pay back night game. My wife has relatives in Vancouver, WA so she’s usually an easy sell on Portland games. That stadium is such a strange venue for football, but at least the overhang keeps you dry if it rains.

Eastern Washington is a totally miserable experience, at least the time i went when we played them twice and got burned by Barrie’ in the closing minutes.

Circle September 26th. That’s going to be a night of be there or be square. Total pivotal game for the Aggies.

I hope he has a nick name, lol. That’s a long name for the announcers.

Dunning did a piece a few years ago on moving up. He essentially said that playing big name schools in our stadium would pack the house. My take is we need to continue to win under Plough and beat the FCS heavy hitters and see what kind of interest we can get. We need to reel in bigger corporations. Woodstock is great, but in pizza terms we need Dominos :).

I think from 53 you should be fine. If the traffic is bad you could always turn left towards the arboretum and sneak out onto La Rue and catch the freeway on old davis road. I park in 56 and usually start walking with a couple of minutes left otherwise the foot traffic will back up traffic.

Monday will be a receiver clinic for local HS players. My Folsom HS grandson will be attending, as well as some of his team mates. That program (Folsom) always has tough teams. They are serious about their football and are a good feeder school for the Ags.

Too bad its a late start but I’m sure espn is in the drivers seat.

ESPN2 for the Eastern Washington game!

Theres an apartment complex in Davis thats going to provide free summer housing for players if they rent for the rest of the year.

Those afternoon games in SD are brutal. Do they have lights, lol?

Its next week. I’ll be there. I go to most of them. If you’re local, stop by. We have a good group.

The times I’ve gone to that game the alumni assoc organized a fun pregame tailgate. The stadium is weird. Maybe a converted soccer field. Parking was ok.

I’m with Dr. Mike on moving the Champion Aggie tailgate hospitality over by Biggs field. Bring everybody in close proximity. We can all enjoy the band and cheerleaders pregame entertainment.

I chatted with Rex at a spring practice. His upper and lower body look really bulked up. My guess is they are being very cautious about his return but that he comes back in full stride.
