I've never watched one. Neither have you. Don't lie.

Winner gets a championship belt, which can be nicknamed the Jock Strap.

How soon does Sac start bleeding players w only three games on the schedule and no new league affiliation?

About as soon as their allowed to enter the portal. I wouldn’t mind picking up that RB if he can pass classes at UC.

Portal opens January 2.

There is another portal related to head coaching changes. As people have noted, Marion doesn't stay in one place very long, but don't know that he did enough this year to draw the attention of teams looking for head coaches. However everything about Sac football is in flux....schedule, league affiliation, divisional status, facilities...chaos theory run amok.

Did I miss the November MAC football-only announcement that we were promised?

I would expect a large number of Sac players will enter the portal as "insurance" against not having a schedule for next season. With only 3/4 games "inked", my guess is that they are having a very hard time finding games. Might also have a hard time holding onto players that have already committed for next year, especially any receivers.

With all that is going on, or going off, at Sac, they may lose a lot of coaches too.

What a cluster ...

If Marion stays he’ll just farm the portal again. He’s proven he can recruit. And of course now that he is in rather close proximity to Folsom (prison), there might be some parolees available. But in all seriousness, it was amazing all the talent he brought in on short notice. Would they bite again?

I have a hard time seeing a full repeat of what he was able to accomplish with recruiting this time around, not saying it's impossible but he was previously able to sell that they were going to the Pac12, that they had a massive influx of NIL, and that they were going to national championship. Recruits now have had a chance to see it play out for a season and as far as I can tell none of those things came to fruition.

With no schedule? I guess they could book the small school in Oakland.

Absolute sh*t show. Another thing Wood says and seems like will not happen.

And Dr.Wood just received a 6% raise,....while the school is cutting classes, laying off employees....

what the heck is that? Undermining the AD who you dealt this loser hand?

Exactly! It’s just ridiculous.

I’m with you on wanting sac to succeed. I have family friends who went to sac and they are a fun team to watch (even beyond the football and basketball, I like the baseball team and volleyball team) but this whole weirdness in messaging and actions between the AD and Pres is just dysfunctional and puts both the community, students and student athletes in odd positions. It just seems to me like either people close to the university or the people there are hearing/believing possibilities that either are not happening in the immediate future, at all, or are just trying to rush things along. I feel like it’s a pretty simple idea to not over promise without a definitive plan to deliver. The longer I watch all this sac state stuff the more it seems like that idea was not followed.

I too want sac state to succeed but I want them to succeed academically first. They are currently around 16th out of the 23 CSUs, which is surprisingly low and they should at least be around 5th-6th. I want them to invest in their campus and students and then athletics rather than other way around. Truthfully I think sac would do better focusing on their non football sports in the Big West and invest there.
