Now that I am retired I have time to do some stuff like this...The URL below should link to a GitHub repository from which you can download files. The repository is "open" so you should have access. Besides "Big.sky.stats.2013.32017.pdf I also added files of scanned UCD vs. UOP programs from the last 3 meetings of the schools (all Aggie victories). You'll note Dan Hawkins on the roster in 1982.
OK. That was a big fail. Forgot that "open" is only open within the institution, and there is a login. I'll figure out another way to share these files.
Great work! It's easier to interpret the state of the teams when the numbers have a graphic representation... somebody, send this to Cal Poly so they can make some changes!
Check out the Block CA with the mustang head--obviously the inspiration for the modern athletic logo.
It was a great challenge every time we went to Stockton and it was awesome when we would upset the Tigers! I wish Pacific still had football. It would have made for a great rivalry in the D1 era. The old photos of the Aggie players are priceless also...
Yah, I saw the 78 game as I was in the band-uh. Morowski lit them up with over 300 yards passing. I too miss UOP and their neat little earthen bowl stadium (capacity about 30,000). Our high school went there for band day and I remember seeing Dan Pastorini and Santa Clara beating UOP circa 1972. I also recall a shoot out with San Jose State when Steve Deberg was qbing SJSU. To bad most of the PCAA schools have bit the dust.
Speaking of PCAA I plan on watching Utah State vs BYU tonight. I saw the 1982 game in Logan when I was a grad student at Utah State and the Aggies beat BYU and Steve Young in the snow. The campus went wild. A fellow teammate on the UCD baseball team coached baseball as a club sport there at USU. I guess the older one gets the more one reminisces. But I am looking forward towards an Aggie victory tomorrow at UNC.
Daily Democrat coverage of UCD-Lehigh game in 1977. Note Ara Parseghian and Bill Fleming photo at end. Back then most of the country was watching this game as there were no other playoffs/games that time of year. Phil Swimley (head baseball coach and a position coach in football) commented during a baseball trip that Lehigh commanded the line of scrimmage and that is what ultimately determined the outcome.
