2-3 years ago I would not have predicted that we'd be having serious conversations about reaching student section capacity so soon. Regarding "how", it's probably the same procedure they've used to turn students away at one or two ESPN basketball games. I'm guessing it's a judgement call to close the student gate (there's only one I think) once the AP/general admit section looks full.

Do we know how significant the capacity figure is? Like it could be just a fire code calculation and not an actual number of seats. Or it could not include endzones.

Either way, 10k is an amazing turnout and enough to get the stadium rocking.

I've been to Aggie games at SDSU, Sac, Nevada, and Stanford and I vote Reno as the best experience at least for football. Their gameday traditions/pageantry were quite something and the tailgaters were friendly. And of course there's plenty of entertainment to be had in town.

I'm trying to remember, has CJ always been overthrowing receivers at Davis? I seem to remember he won at least one game as a starting QB; it's not like he hasn't been able to move the ball in his career.

Think we'll continue to see that wildcat formation with Spencer? It looked to have middling results and was called in a lot of short-yardage situations.

It would be interesting to see if we could sustain a drive with it to really wear the clock down.

Probably doesn't help that our offense is so fast. Even when things are going well the D doesn't get much rest between opposing drives

Urgh I want to keep watching this game but I'm at risk of missing a chunk of the SDSU game...

This is the most entertained I think I've ever been by an Aggie offense

3 TDs in a minute of gametime, this is nuts

The problem with this UCD offense is that if I tune in just a few minutes late I already miss their first score...

All right, time to dust off the "root for moral victory" hat. It's been a while old friend.

Football isn't fun anymore

C'mon defense! Still have a chance for good field position

The heck? I tabbed away for two seconds when they were on their 2!!!

Do I see the gold pants making a comeback?

I thought the deal with the huge class this year is that some of the new players are on FAFSA aid and only getting partials. So we might be nearing the head count limit right now but could have a fair amount of funds free

If dealing with petty trolls from perennial FCS powers is what being "back" means then I'm not sure I want to be back...

To my untrained eye, Gould seems like a very algorithmic coach, in the sense that if something is technically optimal in an average situation then he'll do it 100% of the time. Ex:

"Manzanares is the best back, therefore he will carry the ball every time he is able to."

"The least risky option on 4th down is to punt or kick, so we will do that every time."

In fairness to him though, David Shaw basically coaches the exact same way and has been wildly successful and praised while doing so. I think the difference is that Shaw has had solid and sometimes prodigal talent to work with -- you can afford to be predictable when Christian McCaffrey is in the backfield.

Ha, if we get 5 wins I'll be happy. 6-7 would push me to ecstatic.

Bryce Love is I think second to Penny in yards this season and outperformed Penny carry-for-carry and basically carried Stanford in the game on Saturday. I would definitely put him in the conversation for the best back in the country and some of that credit has to go to Gould.

I don't know if Stanford fans expected him to call plays or what but he is doing literally the most that could be expected of him in an RB coach role.

UCD projected to finish ahead of EWU and Montana.

What a time to be alive

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear either. I didn't mean to say that the game would be less exciting or important, just that the Ags will definitely be able to make things happen against the Cardinal next year unless Stanford makes some serious fixes. The SDSU QB went 21/29 against them and the SDSU passing attack isn't even that good.

I think you'll get the show you're looking for.
