“ Lan Larison fears no man in shoulder pads, nor any cattle with a nasty disposition.

Trent Tompkins competes with the sole focus of getting past guys who are trying to pulverize him, destination end zone.

The UC Davis football team is on the brink of advancing to the FCS Division I playoffs this shortened spring season, thanks in part to a pair of spectacular freshmen who can leave their chatty coach a bit speechless in describing their efforts.”

Finn are you going to the game?

“The first thing (about Barriere) that comes to mind is poise in his leadership capabilities,” Best said. “A lot of the stuff physically hasn’t changed a ton, it’s just how he gets to the point of making reads, staying in the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield. A couple years ago he might have taken off a few times (Saturday) a little sooner than he did.

“He’s extending his plays with his arm more so than probably his feet. And I’ll say it again, (if he is) not the best player in America, which I feel that’s my vote, he’s one of the best. He’s dynamic, and he understands the offense.”

Sorry about the drama SLO, as i said before no doubt you guys will be back strong, sooner than later.

Aside from the team, as a fan, i really want to see Best humiliated. I usually don’t have disdain for an opposing coach, but i just have never respected the man, especially after he left his first string in when we were getting hammered.

That guy started out a bit dry, and I wasn’t sure what to think about a guy that is using sheets as drapes (I might have done that when i was a student, lol). But I like his analysis. Funny that he considers us a run oriented team. Reminds me when we had manzan and everyone was talking about Sucs passing game and our running game. The big question is whether we can get to Barriere and slow down the eagles passing game.

When i looked a few days ago it looked like most posters were putting EW ahead of us. The Vegas line has us 2.5 underdogs.

Sold out? Wow that was fast.

We all have that back breaking run Barriere made at the end of the semi final game in our minds. And he has wheels. But looking at his stats for the spring season, it’s his passing that is going to burn you. And possibly a lot of the passing yards are scrambling plays that he is keeping alive. But over 4 games, he has a net of 52 yards with a per game average of 13 on the ground, 2.2 yards average per play. From my seat just as a fan and never having played the game in an organized fashion, keep him in the seams and prevent the roll out where he is going to hurt you with a big pass play.

Today was the first day of spring quarter.

“We made this decision because of the high number of serious, season-ending injuries to our players," said Cal Poly Director of Athletics Don Oberhelman. "In addition, there are many seniors who informed us of their decision to defer spring quarter enrollment to the fall so that they can play a full fall season."

Wow, thanks for posting that. I was just in the process of making reservations. I wonder if it was covid or not liking the blow outs?

With Barriere, aside from the yards he gets scrambling, those broken plays often result in him finding an open receiver way down field. Their D is questionable. This might be a high scoring game. Last man with the ball wins sort of game.

49-26 at the half. Wow, Stanford is impressive.

Stanford giving it to msu, 42-24 2Q

Someone asked in the game thread whether the grass was going to be blocked off to fans for the EWU game. Reserved seating ticketing only for this game. Also no out of state ticket sales. I would assume then they are not providing seats to EWU fans? Here’s what was sent in the email:

Prior to entering the stadium, fans will be asked to complete the UC Davis Daily Symptom Survey.
Fans will be required to wear a mask at all times, unless actively eating or drinking at their seat.
Fans will be placed in reserved, socially distanced ticket blocks with members of the same household. Tickets may be purchased in blocks of 2 or 4 online. For special seating, call the Athletics Ticket Office at (530)752-2471.
Concession stands will not be in operation. Please bring and enjoy your own snacks and water.
We ask that fans remain in their seating block as often as possible, and limit gathering on the concourse.
Tickets are only available to residents of the state of California.

Love Tompkins enthusiasm.

Let Tompkins throw

Let’s see what they’re made of.

Are they conservative on passing bc of Bengal secondary? I dont get it. 100 yards in the air.
