    Stinks. Hopefully if we end up on the cusp we'll get there nod over other schools with the same win count. Most teams in the country would have at least three losses with our schedule right now.

    Gray unis today. Really think they should have stayed with the blue and gold on homecoming. Experimentation is much better for a home opener or other "need to get eyeballs" game

    Yeah, I do think the voters are giving us leeway because of our schedule, perhaps too much. But I don't think it's out of the question that we are actually the 20-30th most talented team in the country and have just been performing as other teams in that area would if they had our slew of playoff-bound opponents

    agreed, should be noted that last year's schedule had some decent teams but aside from EWU and Stanford (accounting for 100% of the losses) didn't have nearly there quantity of good FCS teams on it. (We've probably had three FCS playoff bound opponents already, maybe 4 this year).

    I disagree: consistent, similar penalties across multiple players across multiple games seems like it should be on the staff. If your players collectively aren't learning something then it's a teaching problem.
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    The improved second half effort was only when compared to the first half IMO. Defense went from nonexistent to okay and offense went from pretty bad to inconsistent. Special teams got a little worse.

    I hate to be a downer but there has been exactly one season I could actually be happy about in my entire history as an Aggie fan (UCD is 1 for 7 for winning seasons in that timespan and getting perilously close to 1 for 8). I can see the writing on the wall that this season isn't going to add to the "happy column".

    Like I said before, for a program that hangs its hat on the intelligence and diligence of its players and on the experience of its coaching staff, we sure don't act the part on the field.

    Look at Army for example, who's in a semi-similar boat. Sure, they're not as good as they were last season and they run a different scheme, but I don't recall ever seeing this kind of sloppiness from them.

    FG good UND, at least we have a minute and three timeouts
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    WOWWWW

    UND with one timeout left

    Now put it out the back of the endzone
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    WE'RE GOING FOR IT
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    I'm excited for the run for 1 up the middle on the first play
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    HOW ARE WE STILL IN THIS GAME
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    Only option is a pooch kick though. Pretty sure we wouldn't attempt a FG there
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    I didn't even see any aggie receivers near the area
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    OK, great field position with tons of time. NOW don't turn it over
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    I kinda am actually. We have the ball, need to rest up the D because we're gonna depend on them for the stop, we have way more timeouts than UND, might as well burn clock
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    PICK!!!!

    Good pressure on the QB too for once
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ North Dakota
    It's been like this in the whole Hawkins era, nothing new.

    Playcalling has been unconventional but has it ever been actually great? The whole offense seems to be based on big plays bailing out the ones that go nowhere
