I guess the Eagles injuries on defense have not hurt them too much?

I wonder if EWU is overconfident based on their previous blowout of UC Davis? If so, they might be paying for it, cause the Ags are playing tough.

Moe is from Kaneohe, where I now live.

Another big sack!!

CAForever made a good point. I am fairly sure that with Hawkins as head coach, the Ags will be a perennial presence in the FCS playoffs and get some shots at a national title. I was hoping for this from the day I heard he was hired: A return to glory at the Div. I level.

Momentum is with the Panthers. Ags need a spark from the D.

It's great to be able to see a game on ESPN3 from out here in Hawaii. Go Ags!

Thanks!

I see the game will b eon ESPN3 which I do not get in Hawaii. Anyone know of another way I can watch the game live?

I never like to give up on the Ags, but I think they're gonna lose....

If the Ags are going to try to run the ball off the end, they need some misdirection.

Ags have a recent history of coming back from big deficits in the second half in big games. Not so sure they can do that in Cheney unless the D steps up.

I'm not trying to jinx the Aggies, but if we lose to EWU could we fall into 3rd place in the Big Sky? Weber State beat Eastern Washington and if Eastern Washington beats us then all three schools could end up 7-1 and Weber should be first, EWU second. What would that do to a possible seeding in the playoffs?

Cal's QB is Chase Garbers

I apologize for my ignorance, but I am not sure how the FCS selection process works. I guess I can be excused since the Ags have never been in contention for a berth. Does the Big Sky champ get an automatic slot? If we do not win the championship, is it up to the committee?

I never give up on the Aggies. I learned that lesson the hard way back in 1971 when I went to Hayward for Football game in which the Aggies were down by 15 points with about 3 minutes left in the game, I told my friends that UCD's cause was lost so we might as well leave. As we were driving out we heard a roar and we could glance back and see that the Ags had scored touchdown, but I knew they needed a 2 point conversion, successful onside kick, another TD and another 2 point conversion so I kept on going. When I got back to Davis, my friends there who had heard the game were telling me how lucky I was to be there. My expression told them all they needed to know about what I missed. I guess that game with Bob Biggs at QB is now a legend. I have never left, stopped watching or given up on any Aggie sport since then.

I can see the Aggies winning all but one of their remaining games. Eastern Washington is now ranked #6 in the FCS Coaches poll and even though they are at UC Davis, I would be surprised if the Ags wiin that one.

For what it's worth, I was just happy to be able to see the Ags play on TV out here in Hawaii. I think this is only the third time I've seen them play in the past 40 years. One time they came to Hawaii and got trounced by the Warriors. I also saw them lose to Cal. So it was a loss to the #9 team in the country. I was proud of the way the guys competed and my first look at Keelan Doss was great.

I've long though that there should be a separate division for the mid majors, a 1AA or something. It would allow teams from the SWAC, Big Sky, WAC, Big South, etc. and of course the Big West to have a real shot at a national championship. I imagine no one favors it because of all the money involved and the mid-major leagues like the chance for the glory of knocking off a Virginia or Arizona. Still, splitting Division 1 into two would allow more major teams into the tournament as well as giving the mid-major teams a separate champion.

I actually looked at Chima's twitter (I was not looking for it, but it came up when I googled his name) and he says nothing, but is clearly sad about the whole thing. He is not denying anything. In one tweet he wrote this: "Dear God, please help me protect my peace. Give me the strength and courage to remove all things that are negative and are draining my life." Everything else is pretty positive and forward looking, such as shout outs to Jim Les and TJ Shorts.
