Davis Enterprise: Hawkins points to Maier as Aggie catalyst

“We’ve had some great quarterbacks here and I’ve been around some great ones in my career and I certainly have Jake high on that list,” Hawkins adds.

“There’s not a position in sports like quarterback. To see the art of quarterbacking the way Jake does it is just phenomenal. He is everything I could ever want in a quarterback. He knows the offense better than anybody, but he’s also the hardest worker and is completely unflappable. He’s a very steady and calming influence in every situation.”

MISSOULA — UC Davis wide receiver Keelan Doss reveled in the energy and excitement at Aggie Stadium as he walked around the field with teammates after an overtime win against Idaho State earlier this month.

Very nice article by the Missoulian. Classy paper! Also a good job by the Bee.

And another:

“With an week to prepare and reflect after a pair of tough losses, Montana gets a shot to make an FCS top-ten statement against the Aggies, who come to Missoula led by former Boise State and Colorado head coach Dan Hawkins.“

Strange conclusion after his brief summary.
“No. 5 UC Davis (6-1, 4-0 Big Sky) at Montana (4-3, 2-2), 4 p.m.
The Griz have had two weeks to stew, er, prepare for UC Davis. They’ve stopped converting third downs — a mere 6 of 24 (25 percent) during their two-game losing streak. Behind quarterback Jake Maier’s 21 touchdown passes, UC Davis has scored at least 44 points in each win this season.

Pick: Montana”

lol that almost sounds like a mistake? Don't get me wrong, Montana could very likely win this game, but just the fact that they basically say "Montana hasn't been good, Davis has been... Montana wins" sounds strange.

home town pick. I’m guess the folks actually read their local paper and wouldn’t want to read him picking us

Have fun up there Dr. Mike. I’m bummed I’m missing this one live.

There are people who aren’t going to pick us over Montana until we’ve beat them once.

Have you seen our equipment truck in town?

You have been a voice of reason this board for a long time. We all tend to get to high and too low. 5-2 with Montana, NAU, and EWU coming up doesn't sound that good. 6-1 sounds much better! A win this week leads me to believe the ship is righted, holes a plugged, and we are moving forward again. A loss, well, it tells me we are still working on plugging the holes. Anyone who tells me that this schedule is tough (edited to say, so far), is looking at this through Aggie colored glasses.

Because they are on the cusp of making the playoffs, win or lose this game, the next game and the game after that and the game after that will all be the most important yet; because they are finally playing games that relate to getting into the playoffs and the playoff seeding.
At the end of the year we can decide how good we were.
One of my hopes for this year is that the team gets a win on the road against a conference team we haven’t beaten yet. That’s really the only reason this game is more important than say NAU. But next week it won’t seem that way.

I'm going to need you to talk to my wife. :grin:

not yet. Landed about an hour ago in Missoula. Checked into hotel and took a walk around but didn’t see that.

Exactly!

You may need to talk with my wife as well! I blurted out a well chosen explicate when ISU was roaring down the field in the last minute after we had tied it up and I got the “look” big time...

Went from "F***."

to

"F*** Yeah! He missed it!"

I actually agree pretty much with Davis Aggie. If anyone has the watchespn app, the ISU Liberty game is Very entertaining. ISU put up 650 yards of offense but lost by 7. I then watched SDSU vs No. Iowa. SDSU was without Wallace, their leading rusher and looked horribly flat as No. Iowa won. OK, I have no life.

Do they drive that thing to every away game? I wonder who is stuck doing that!

I'm not sure how often they take the truck on the road. I think athletics department made some kind of deal with a local area moving company in exchange for advertising. I think it's pretty cool!

I politely disagree. I think this is big for several reasons... our record... our breakout season?... Montana does have the rep... playing in Montana, big nasty crowd... Hauck is not the SJSU Bambi coach we can abuse ...

And I do agree NAU, EWU will also be UU-gggee.

Please park that truck away from the game site. Very bad JU-JU.

GAME DAY! LETS GO AGGIES! BEAT THE GRIZ!

GO AGGIES BEAT THE TEDDY BEARS

Inspired by the Wyoming fan in the stands in Fort Collins at the border war game with Colorado State who wore a shirt with “Beat sheep” on it. (CSU are the Rams). Sort of a linguistic emasculation of your opponent.

It looks like Chancellor May and his wife made the trip to Missoula. Awesome to see his support of Aggie Athletics!
