Over .500 finally, but the real "season" starts next week in Moscow.

I'm sure that those of us who are old enough (all of us?) have fond memories of the 1982 team, even though Texas State rolled over us 34-9. I still wonder how it would have turned out if Ken O'Brien had not been hurt. Sports Illustrated had a nice photo spread of the game including a shot of a depressed Dan Hawkins slumped on the bench after the game was over.

This game is reminding me of last week's game with Cal Poly, which had us up by only 7 late in the second quarter. Hopefully, it will turn out the same, but so far, Idaho State does not look any more like a 1-7 team than Cal Poly did in the first half.

First Qtr stats are very even except time of possession: Bengals, 10:23, Ags, 4:37. TOP is often misleading.

Why did Hawkins decide to go for 2? What? Me worry?

A reasonable final score might be 35-3 or 45-13.

The NCAA FCS poll finally gives UC Davis some votes (13). Athlon's poll has us ranked #22. I guess some folks take strength of schedule into account, as Sagarin (UCD now 8th) always has.

Anyone else think that the Hornies are over-rated? I mean, the collective record of the Big Sky teams they've beaten is 4-16 and Colorado Stat is winless.

The biggest comeback in the second half in college football history was 35 points: Michigan State in 2006 vs. Northwestern.

59-17! This is where I leave early to avoid traffic. Unfortunately, I'm not in the stadium and it's a long way back to Hawaii.

Smart play by Hastings. One thing I've always noticed about UCD athletes: they all have a high sports IQ. Of course we know that all Aggies are smart, but having the know-how to detect the best pay to make in a split second is something special.

D has not gotten any pressure on Brasch. One thing that people talk about it points off turnovers, but it seems to me that a TD scored after recovering a fumble on the opponents 5 yard line is a lot easier than scoring a TD after an interception in the end zone (e.g. Buchanan's) and scoring from 80 yards away. The former is a gimme. The latter is about the same as scoring after the other team's punt.

Technically, an average is equal to the sum of numbers 1-N, divided by N, with no restrictions on N other than that is usually an integer, but what I wrote is nonsensically intended to be nonsensical. :)

Yuck. Either Cal Poly is a lot better than their record suggests or the Ags are not taking them seriously enough.

One of the commentators said that Gilliam is now fourth (fifth?) all time in receptions for UCD. Does anyone know which former Aggies are ahead of him?

Aggies averaging 59 yards a play on offense.

Not a bad opening drive for UCD. One play, 7 points.

Chima got into the Kings' game against Memphis: 6 minutes, 2 boards plus an assist, but two fouls for a -9 on the +/-.

And Bossie Cow Cow (do they still do that) and Song-girls with denim skirts (they need to bring those back).

Most of you guys probably remember Rich Ellerson. I was his TA when he took a Psychology course at the University of Hawai`i back in 1976. Makes me feel really old that he's probably retired now. Check that. I AM really old.
