Note that Keelan Doss again lead the Chargers in receptions yesterday. ESPN lists him third on the depth chart.

Be started the first half against the Rams yesterday and had 3 catches for 39 yards, attracting the attention of the commentators.

That's messed up. What is accurate is the opening dates and opponents for the ranked schools, but you're right. What they have posted is the final poll for last season. Here is the Athlon poll that is for 2023: https://athlonsports.com/college-football/athlon-sports-preseason-fcs-top-25-2023
Ags ranked #14, just ahead of Sac State.

The FCS Coach's poll does not have UC Davis in the top 30.

I see that Doss has landed with the LA Chargers this coming season.

Speaking of Ulonzo Gilliam, I know he was not drafted, but does anyone know if he is in the CFL or has signed as an NFL free agent?

I'm surprised it hasn't already been changed.:grin:

This reminds me of all the great football coaches who played for Jim Sochor. I don't think I should list them all here, but if someone (not me) has a comprehensive list, it would be a great post on the football discussion site.

Hmmm smells like the NCAA basketball tournament.

I always thought that they stopped the clock after a first down to allow the chain gang to reset? On the other hand the NFL does not do it, so maybe the chan gangs will just have to hustle like the pros.

What I meant was that in comparison to the reason for a top 25 in the FBS, the FCS poll covers the top 25 teams which is just one more than the total qualifying for the playoffs. I would be surprised to see many of the top 25 in the polls not make the playoffs.

Why 25? My theory for the FBS polls is that it limited the number of teams that the national media needed to focus their coverage on. Hard to cover over a hundred teams. At the FCA level, it makes a bit more sense considering that the playoffs involve 24 teams, no?

This news makes my year!

No Lakers, no Celtics, but a former Big West player in the NBA Finals!

I guess I don't understand why Roberson coming is a sign that Pepper is going?

In case you missed it, Gabe Vincent lead Miami to a game 3 blowout of the Celtics by not only starting at point guard, but leading the Heat with 29 points. He made 6 of 9 treys, grabbed 2 rebounds and made 3 assists. Not bad for an undrafted Gaucho, who is very likely going to be in the NBA finals.

Having done a little research, I also found out that Bob Gross was a player for the Beach before winning a title with the Portland Trailblazers. Another former previously 49er was Craig Hodges who rode the bench behind Jordan. et al. Plus Scott Brooks was at UCI and won an NBA championship with Houston in 1998. There are probably more going back to when the Big West was the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference and had the likes of San Diego State, Pacific and Nevada as well as UNLV.

How tall were T. J. Shorts and Ezra Manjon?

I wonder if he's any relation to the Traore brothers at Long Beach State?

I found this website showing all (?) players who have entered the transfer portal, the school they're leaving and the school they're going to (if known yet). I could find no one from UC Davis, either coming or going yet, but Cal is losing most of its starters (and from a 3-29 team that might not be a bad thing). https://theresourcenexus.com/transfer-portal-basketball/
