Ags are relying to much on jacking up a quick 3 pointer. That's not working very well.

I note that UCR managed to pull out their game against the Lions after trailing by 9 with 8:47 to go. They took the lead with 4:15 to go and hung on to win by 2.

Guess we might win. Pepper scores 10 points in the first 3 minutes of the half!

Looks like the 3s aren't falling and neither are the free throws. 2 for 10 from the arc and a pathetic 1 for 6 from the foul line. 4 of 10 and 4 of 6 and the score is 40-40.

Sorry I missed what seems like a pretty solid Aggie victory. Idaho never got closer than 12 points in the second half. Now I have to see how the basketball team is doing.

31-7! Well, this has been more fun I've had since...Monday when the Ags upset Cal, but I have to go to an event and will miss the second half. Hope UCD can hold on and not see any tables turned.

Not sure why the Vandals ran the ball three times and none inside the tackles where their O-line was opening up the holes that got them their TD. I'll take it. Ags have 222 total yards to 95 for Idaho.
Special teams doing well on both ends.

I'd say that we responded just fine. Did anyone see this coming?

Someone needs to tell the Idaho play-by-play guy that it isn't Thompson, it's Tompkins. I guess he can't see the jersey?

I think there are more players from California on the UI team than from Idaho.

Idaho's O-line was able to push the Ags D-line without much trouble on that drive.

Two possessions, two great drives. The Ags playing as they have something to prove: that they are whole lot better than their record. D needs to keep stepping up as well.

TD Larison! Was that too easy?!!

I guess all of the major conferences how have their own network? Maybe the Sac State game will be on the Big Sky Net.

I can't find the UCD-LMU game on ESPN+ and it is not indicated on the ESPN Aggie schedule as an ESPN+ game, so it might not be available today. Four other games are similarly indicated as not being on ESPN+ including Sac State and UCLA, but the UCLA game will certainly be on the Pac-12 Network.

Glad to see so many going to the game to support the Aggies. Good thing it's indoors. I see the temperature this afternoon is in the upper 30s. I've only been to Moscow once when I visited my sister who is a EE prof at WSU right across the border. Seems like a nice college town. Go Ags!

My apologies to you agalum and to all. Ever since I retired, I've lsot track of what day of the week it is. Is it Saturday yet?

I just sped watched the game between Cal and Kansas State. KSU finished last in the Big-12 last year, so this figured to be a winnable game for theBears who should have been up for it after losing to the Aggies. Instead, they showed the same lack of shooting and rebounding prowess in the first half and were down 36-21 at the half. K-State stretched the lead to 20 before Cal found some mojo midway through the second half as they did against UCD and cut a 42-22 lead to 46-46 before the Wildcats stepped up their defense and closed it out 63-54. Cal did play much better in this game overall and Kansas State is supposed to be much improved over last year with a Sagarin rating in the 80s. Still, Cal could have won and any wins by the Golden Bears make us look good.

My top five men's basketball victories:

1. 1998, beating Kentucky Wesleyan for the NCAA Div. 2 national title.
2. 2017, NCAA Div.1 victory over North Carolina Central
3. 2022, upset of Cal at Berkeley
4. 2005, upset of Stanford at Davis
5. 1969, defeat of San Francisco State away in double overtime to clinch FWC title. (Only reason for this was that I was there and the end was very exciting on a last second put-back by forward Bob Johnson.)

Booo:grin:

I'm out. I was hoping to see some of the depth here, but I don't think ESPN puts a lot of resources into these games. I hope the Loyola game is on a regular network. I didn't know that Pepper hurt his ankle. Does anyone know his prognosis?
