Your friends have a great idea about ditching the phones during a meal. Our devices and social media can keep us more closely connected in some ways and, in other ways, they can get in the way of way of of interpersonal skills and public courtesy.

I think the most alarming problem, however, is that a millions of people now get their news from social media hearsay and then resend the "fake news" on down the global digital highway. It's becoming more and more difficult to know what the real truth is and that is truly scary.

I think you hit the nailed it...

Hahaha..."Hello, my name is Chester and I'm a an internetaholic..."

Didn't we run the fly sweep at least a couple of times handing off to Logan Montgomery?

I think it is significant that Ryan Parenteau was out for his second straight game after suffering a concussion on the initial kickoff of the Weber game. That could mean it was a serious concussion and he is still having some lingering effects. I wonder if he is headed for a medical redshirt?

I think that altitude can be a factor. My wife and I have been in Santa Fe for a few days. The altitude here is 7200 feet and we can definitely feel it. Maybe it doesn't affect young, fit athletes as much but if I had to sprint around for a couple hours at high altitude, I'd probably drop dead.

Yes, that outlet pass to Modise that got blown up really hurt. I think it's really hard for a player to intentionally drop a pass and Maier was under pressure so he threw it to his final option. It would of been better if he just grounded it or threw it out of bounds but, like you say, that's easy to say from the stands.

...and the Bossey Cow Cow is still with us...ugh!

Many of the season ticket holders seem to barely have a pulse. They just sit there quietly while the players are imploring them to show some life. Like you said, it's makes you feel bad for the players that so many fans just can't bring themselves to lend some enthusiastic support to the team and make some noise. I've been know to jump out of my seat when there's a great play only to have some of the folks around me look at me like I must be off my meds. Geeesh!!

And my pet peeve: Parents who sit together yakking away and paying little attention to the game while their young children grow bored, antsy and annoying trying to entertain themselves. I'm glad the families are at the game but, please, go sit in the end zone and let the little ones burn off some energy while you talk about everything but what's happening on the field. >:o

Quote from EWU Head Coach, Aaron Best:

“Davis played a hell of a game. They’re one hell of a team. Mr. (Keelan) Doss and Mr. (Jake) Maier are a deadly combination. We just happened to make one more play than they did. Hats off to Hawkins and his crew. They have a whole lot of good in their future.

I'll never forget the Nevada-Reno game at the Toom in "77. My girlfriend (wife now!) and I squeezed ourselves into the west side stands. The crowd was crammed in like sardines, loud and electric, and the Ags responded by knocking off the #1 Wolfpack. It was a crazy good, collegiate football atmosphere. I want to see that kind of atmosphere to return to Aggie Stadium but I not sure that's going to happen.

I don't want to cast a dim light on the current resurgence that we're seeing in the program but the lack of support by the students and the Davis community is discouraging. I really don't think the majority of Davis students are interested in football or other intercollegiate sports for that matter...certainly not like the students at the bigger, west coast FBS programs.

The City of Davis itself has grown dramatically since the mid-70's but we are not seeing a corresponding increase in attendance. Davis is a highly educated and progressive community and I think that the popularity of football has decreased among most Davis residents who see football as a dangerous sport. You really can't blame them with all the research continuing to show the debilitating effects of repeated hits to the head.

I think the times have just changed...

Total yards: Ags 551 EWU 501

Gubrud 33-53 for 452 and 6 TD's and Maier 33-55 for 367 and 2 TD's

The blocked FG hurt but, even bigger, was the offensive pass interference call on an Aggie receiver away from the play when Doss made a catch down to the 1 yard line. We would have had 1st and goal at the 1.

SUU 20 Poly 14 Final

NAU 37 Illinois State 16 Final

I don't like that conservative play calling in the final two minutes...

Wow...not like what we've seen from Hawkins this year...

Ok...here we go. I'm trying to watch the game from Santa Fe but the internet connection is slow. I might have to just listen on the radio feed.

GO AGS!!!
