Freshmen move in Sunday?

Season about 70-odd days away! ... we have a better chance against the Bears than the Cardinal last year.

Going to be a hot one versus Montana

Ugh...at least the heat should affect the Griz more than us! No fun for the fans sitting in the blazing sun though.

I love my general admission tickets and my big cowboy hat I just stroll around the stadium

I think that's mostly the students. It's tough to attract students to a 1pm game when it's going to be 90°+ at kickoff. Would have loved to see a 5/6pm kick as would most other students.

The heat didn't help us on the opening day of Aggie Stadium... can't forget that one.

I certainly hope we never see that kind of heat in Aggie Stadium ever again. Not only did we lose the game but people were dropping like flies and being carted away in ambulances. That's a memory I'd rather forget!

Can't help but think the early start is to pacify the potential animus between the two programs after last season's turning point game. A lot of trash talking, Hawk's first ever unsportsmanlike conduct penalty yelling at the ref for not calling the after-the-whistle stuff.

How does that work? Do players not take cheap shots when the sun’s bright?

I'm thinking more about the fans.

Maier’s pass-catching corps will have much to prove in the wake of Doss’ departure, but it still features two key pieces that have the skillset to keep things rolling. Junior wideout Jared Harrell was the Aggies’ second-leading receiver in 2018, catching 62 passes for 896 yards and 5 touchdowns. He’ll be complemented by senior tight end Wes Preece, who had a breakout sophomore year in 2017 and tied Doss with nine receiving touchdowns last year.

"...throw a rock on the gas pedal..."

That Blue Force promo has got me all jacked up.

Jake throws out the first pitch at the A's game:

Another angle...a bit high and inside! If that was a football, it would have been right where a tall receiver would want it...

Tried to corner and missed.

No longer a Big Sky Conference also-ran, UC Davis faces great expectations in 2019

Hawkins holds deep pride for the Aggies’ program, and it’s about more than simply wins and losses.

“What I’m really fulfilled about is that those of us that played for Jim Sochor and grew up in that style of coaching — and it’s not a snobby thing at all — we always talk about ‘Davis guys’ and what that means,” Hawkins said. “I take a lot of fulfillment from the fact that I’m able to regenerate the seeds and the philosophy that we all learned.

“I think there’s a certain way we do things and how we handle things in the broad spectrum of respecting a kid and his overall holistic excellence. There’s a way we’ve done things at Davis, and to continue that and see it prosper, it dang near makes me cry. It does. Because it’s a really special way to do things, and it leads to special things in those kids’ lives.”

We get great press from some of the Montana outlets. We should recruit up there. Pleased to see we got an Idaho commit this year.

Exactly. Maybe a lineman or linebacker?
