Checking on Sagarin's ratings, I see that he has Sac State as the top rated FCS team just ahead of South Dakota State and 43 places above UC Davis.

I see that the NCAA rankings put 6 Big Sky teams among the top 14 schools in the FCS and the Aggies have played or will play 45 of them. Sheesh! Of course, with our 3-4 record, we get no votes, as opposed to the likes of 4-3 Campbell and 3-3 Stephen F. Austin. Same as it ever was.

I was able to see the game on ESPN+ but I just checked their "Event Replay" listings and couldn'tg find it. You might want to check later to see if they post it late.

Some deceptive stats: UNC "won" time of possession 31-29 minutes, were close in total yardage 423-484. Seems like the score should have been more like 31-28.

The UNC commentators said that the Bears needed to get their defense off the field quickly and they sure did. :smile:

I'm impressed with Corey Hawkins play calling.

I don't suppose their fight song is "Sons of Colorado?"

This is my first time seeing UNC. Did they borrow everything from Cal: mascot, school colors, etc.?

Nuts, I got my time mixed up so I missed most of the first half. Glad to see they already have a comfortable lead.

Thanks. I called the UNCD Box Office and they told me that the seats were only for the family and friends of the players. It was worth a shot.

Is Chima the first Aggie to make an NBA roster? I can't recall any others, even though ti thought Corey Hawkins had a real shot at it.

I know this is a basketball question, but I posted this on Hamilton Court and have had no replies:
Pre-covid, I used to get tickets to see the Aggie men play in Hawaii. There is a visitor's section in the arena and I ask the ticket office if I can get a seat there. It's always "no" but for different reasons. Once I was told it was sold out. Next I was told that only special guests are allowed there. Do any of you have any connection to the UC Davis Athletic program to see if an old alum can get a "special guest" designation?

Time to pull the first string out.

Ags rushing for 7 yards per carry.

I think the Aggies might win this one.

Conners has made three great plays so far today.

Looks like a beautiful day there in Davis. Wish I were there, although it's pretty nice in Hawaii today too. I don't see much of a crowd though which is disappointing.

I can't find an answer to my question about the Lumberjacks, but did find that their mascot's name is Louie, from the old song "Louie, Louie."

Some nice runs on that drive by Larison, Gilliam and even Hutton.
