Don't know that I've ever seen a coach's press conference where the press had mikes.

I can't understand why UCD's fans, especially the students, are so quiet and don't pack the stadium. Anyone have any clues?

Update on Menlo Oaks: They lost to Cal Poly, 99-66. Eleven of the Oaks played and 9 scored with only two in low double figures. Cal Poly out-rebounded them 58-29. I don't expect the Aggies to have much trouble with them especially since it's our home opener. Too bad about Borra.

It is not false that the Montana game was the biggest in Aggie history. I see some are calling the victories over Tulsa and Stanford bigger, but the whole debate is moot, because this next game has got to be the biggest ever since a W would mean not only a Big Sky title and a 10 game winning streak, but it could well mark UC Davis as a real contender for a national title. The only comparable game would have been the one for the Division 2 title back in 1982.

The problem with polls is that the preseason votes are based on what?: speculation, previous season records, reputation and never on actual games. Thus very good teams are unranked or ranked very low and have to claw their way up week by week. It's clearly unfair. Some sportswriters have suggested that no polls be done until after two or three games.

Three telling stats

UC Davis total yards: 386, 130 on the ground
Montana total yards: 286, 77 on the ground

# of UC Davis penalties: 8
# of Montana penalties: 4

# of UC Davis turnovers: 0
# of Montana turnovers: 2

Dunning knows more than Vegas!

Is this the best team in school history or what?

Awesome win! I can't remember such a satisfying UC Davis victory. Not only did they play well on both sides of the ball but special teams were great too.

And no call for a personal foul. Are the refs intimidated by the home crowd?

Given what I just wrote, I'm surprised the Griz didn't go with Fife.

Montana has to go with the pass now. Ags defense should be prepared for that.

This is a great game despite the refs and the pizza.

The wind is going out of the Grizzlies. Starting to think we can win this one.

Montana's running backs have only 34 yards rushing.

Ags have so many weapons!

That face mask call was the first penalty on Montana.

Ah Yat is 6'1" 192. Doesn't look that big but he sure is strong. He's now the Griz leading rusher.

I thought it was a bad call too, but on the replay, Bains got there just a half second early.

Notice how relatively quiet the crowd was on the Ags last drive?
