You nailed it, Aggie08. Totally agree that the BW is the best fit for us for the majority of our sports including basketball.

Very awkward...I think Hawk must be burning the candle at both ends prepping for Weber State and lost his train of thought!

I watched part of their game at Sac. When I first turned it on Weber was up 16-0 midway through the first quarter. I thought it was going to be a blowout but Sac rallied and pulled within 3 in the second half before giving up a final TD.

Neither team looked all that impressive to me but Weber went toe to toe with Cal so we know they have talent. They looked a bit flat against the Hornets and Sac gained confidence at the game went on. I think this is a winnable game for the Ags but we know all to well that the games are won on the field of play.

Glowing article about QB commit Carson Baker:

Excerpt: "Prior to this season Carson visited UC Davis and ended his recruiting process committing to the University describing the school as a perfect fit. “They have always been my number 1. After the visit, I knew it was a great fit for me. Coach Plough throws the ball a ton and I have a great chance to come play early. Also, they have a whole new coaching staff with Dan Hawkins who coached in big time programs like Colorado and Boise State. Off the field, the education is amongst the best in the world,” says Carson."

I think Hawkins is all in for the long haul here. Remember, he often says, "UCD football was my baptism in excellence," and at his presser he said, "this is the right place, the right time, the right fit."

Hawk has been to the pinnacle at Boise State only to see the bottom fall out at Colorado. He brings a ton of experience and wisdom to Davis and he's certainly seen bigger paychecks than we could offer him.

He understands and embraces the the philosophy of Aggie Athletics. He is surrounded by former friends and coaching colleagues both on his staff and in the community. He has a chance to create something very special here and, in doing so, he can follow in the footsteps of the great coaches that influenced him so much as a young man.

Like he said in the legacy video, "the goal is to help create better students, better men, better football players and, ultimately having them going out into society and help create a better world."

I truly believe that he is grateful to have come full circle and return back home to Davis and, at this stage of his career and life, he's in it to give something back and to pay it forward.

Great video...Hawk's got this team believing...

It's really good to see this and, like you said, this should be standard format for all recaps for every sport. Great academics and true student/athletes is an integral part of Aggie Pride and is a great recruiting tool also.

The Aggies and Dr. Blue will thank you!

"Playing smarter than our opponent"...it's been quite a while...

Respect every opponent and play one game at a time...

Sac makes a game out of it but loses to Weber State 31-24.

Southern Utah hangs on and beats Northern Iowa 24-21. That makes two nice wins for the for the Thunderbirds after getting demolished by Oregon in their opener.

Idaho State hangs on to beat Nevada 30-28.

Weber is on top of Sac 24-14 at the half and Southern Utah is ahead of UNI 21-10 with 4:30 to go in the third.

Yes, you could see the energy and enthusiasm on the sideline during the USD Game. Players turned to the fans and were waving their arms and towels in an effort to get the crowd into it on the critical plays. It's still early but we look like a dangerous team in the Big Sky at this point/

My wife and I were on the road but listened to the game on the radio. Wow...I wasn't expecting this. Sure made the long drive a lot more fun!

What a difference this coaching staff has made. I haven't felt this good about Aggie football in what seems like forever.

I think we are on our way to some exciting times with Blue and May at the helm!

Those 7pm games at a packed Toom were awesome!

Hahaha..."punted the ball backwards over his head"... X-)

Oh man, 72Aggie, you had to bring up that bad memory...that game was the infamous inauguration of Aggie Stadium played in something like 105 degree heat with fans passing out and being carted off to ambulances and then we lost to boot! It was the worst fan experience for a sporting event that I have ever had!

I think a little bit of the "homer" bias got to Bob but I hope he's right!
