How many times did we come out FLAT in the 1st quarter????

Heck, how many games did we come out flat at the beginning of the season, season after season. We might get beat on raw talent, but finally, i dont think we are going to get out coached, especially going into the second half.

Check in with me a few days before the game. I may have a free ticket for an Aggie.

The official news release from the Aggie website says that Lamson will switch to the offensive line. — BlueGoldAg

Interesting. He is supposed to be quick for a big guy, and racks up the tackles. He must be one of those "ballers" as Hawk says.

Colton Lamson signed from Sac City. Should be a good addition on the defensive side.

For those who haven't watched some of Maier highlights, here's his hudl page. It looks like the guy can ball. Looks like he has a strong arm and while I wouldn't really call him a dual-threat, he can move in the pocket and pull it down and run if need be. — CA Forever

He looks good, but it also looks like he had some real athletic receivers with size. Sign them up also :).

I

it. I wonder where else they are thinking of playing him — CA Forever

I didnt watch the entire scrimmage, but what i did see was Spencer looking real good rolling out of the pocket and turning it down field. It wouldnt surprise me if they put him in at qb in certain formations, sort of like the mad cow scenario that Biggs used with (was it) Nick April. And btw, Spencer was over throwing receivers who were running the same pass, time after time.

Someone asked about the formations they were running. They were mixing it up, which essentally was what Hawk told us at the El Macero event. It's going to be very interesting to see how we compete. I cant wait. Road trip San Diego?

Wow, Brock Johnson looks good. In HS he threw for 3700 yards, set 7 school records, had a 3.9 GPA, 1870 SAT, and really tosses a nice long ball: http://www.hudl.com/profile/3707059/brock-johnson

Well, darn.

Josh Kelly isn't with the program? Argh .. — PortlandAggie

Well, he is still listed as a student and he is on the football roster still. I looked at twitter feeds and did a google search and could not come up with anything other then he is on the team. Dr. Mike, do you have insider info on him?

how'd the running backs look? we're going to need someone to step in because Josh Kelly is no longer with the program. — DrMike

They were doing their thing on the opposite side of the field so I can't really say much. This scrimmage was essentially a non-contact sort of venue. But, the receivers looked really good. Lot's of one hand catches and the ability to run down long balls. It helps when you don't have a defender in your face though :).

Is Jake Maier on campus already — CA Forever

Not sure, but went back and looked at a few of his highlight clips. Wow, great positional awareness, has a great arm, and can really scramble.

Did it look like CJ regressed from last year or was he just overshadowed by the other QBs in the lineup? — Zander

Not so sure I can say he regressed, but I can say his passes were off the mark and wobbly. This was without any pressure, just rolling out and tossing to a receiver, same pattern one after another. He over threw more passes then he hit. On the other hand, 12 and 15 (Brock?) were tossing bulls eyes. What I really liked about 12 was his touch on the ball. He drilled it when he needed to, and finessed it at other times. I'm wondering if we are going to see a different QB in depending on the formation. They didn't show their cards at this scrimmage. There was a recruit and his father standing near me. Tall kid built like O'brien. Hawk came from across the field and brought them over to the sidelines away from the spectators. Wish I had an opportunity to chat with them.

This scrimmage needs to be moved back to Aggie stadium. Parking was nearly impossible at yhe IM field. CJ was impressive with his scrambling, but his passes totally sucked. In terms of QBs, i liked #15, with #12 a close second. Go Ags

I'm confused. Is there a spring game? The ads for picnic day include a "practice and interactive kids fest." It sounds like there will not be a spring game (?)

As I think about the last 6 or more seasons, our Aggies started off lethargic for at least the first half of the season. I hope we are more "polished" going into this next season. I am more optimistic of an improved outcome. Let us not forget "this is division l football!"

i just had a co-worker leave here to work at Stanford. one of the big draws was the tuition assistance program: — DrMike

My wife's father was an administrator at USC when she was ready to head to college. She could have attended USC free on a similar program. She ended up at Pepperdine Malibu.

In a Stanford publication Gould said he and his wife felt like they died and went to Heaven.

Will TG still work at UCD? — movielover

My guess would be no. Universities often have special packages for the spouse of recruits, at least in the academic setting. And with her talents, I bet she lands in Palo Alto.

They have alot to be proud of. Great year for Aggie BB.

57-66, 1 min 30 left. Not looking good
