Go AGS!!!!

Anyone know what time the game is?

2:00 pm

Ticket link isn't up online and student donation still says second round.

If they push it, I think attendance could be similar to the Illinois Stste game last year. If they manage to win and Tarleton loses, the attendance for a possible semi final will be really bad though.

When I was in school, several students except Freshman would stay for a few days to rest and relax but that week before and after Christmas was always a ghost town.

I liked to stay for a week with the quiet.

Ticket sales go up tomorrow for the season ticket holders who want to keep their regular seats.

Hopefully, a good number of students will stick around for the game on Saturday before heading home.

I know it’s tight timing to put together any sort of campaign but seems to me the outreach for the rest of the run might have value with grad students, staff/faculty, UC Davis Health employees, etc — folks who are more likely to be in the community year round rather than go to a different town or state as soon as finals are over. Not that we shouldn’t continue to donate for the student tickets to make sure they’re available

They announced at the end of the game tickets go on sale tomorrow so I would hope that's for everybody and not just season ticket holders. We're still a week out and it shows a high of 54, partly sunny and no rain in the forecast so hopefully with the earlier game we can get more people out.

That's their job, this is the number one sport and a golden opportunity. It's not putting a man on the moon.

Illinois State 2025 Film Dump:



Thank you Footbaw!

The Red Birds have had a murderous run of tough football games to end the season and extend into the playoffs.

Their last 8 games play like this:
vs. #25 Youngstown State L 35-40
@ #21 South Dakota W 21-16
vs. Northern Iowa W 31-16
@ Indiana State W 52-20
@ #16 South Dakota State W 35-21
vs. #24 Southern Illinois L 7-37
@ #16 SE Louisiana W 21-3
@ #1 North Dakota State @ 29-28

Anybody who doesn't think the better team didn't win in Fargo, should watch that film, most of those picks were on tipped balls, and when it mattered, with their season on the line, the Red Birds found a way to beat #1...on the road.

They're played 6 ranked teams in their last 8 games and beaten 4 of them...ALL ROAD WINS, winning in the DakotaDome, Brookings, @ SELA and in the FargoDome.

We are absolutely in for a beast of a fight - and ISU has film on us from last post-season, where, the Aggies dropped 42 on them --- QB Rittenhouse, WR Sobkowicz, Cinci transfer RB Victor Dawson, RB Wenkers Wright and a lot of the impact players from last season are back for the Red Birds, and they sport what may be the best defensive line and LB corps the Aggies will have seen all year save for Washington.

Put the Rhody win behind you - now the real test starts.

All times are Eastern Standard Time (thanks fugawe09)

5pm ET / 2pm PT :wink:

Ok...thanks. I'll edit my post.

I hope somebody breaks down the Southern Illinois tape.

Given the tight window, do we have staff preparing a week ahead, or even calling in gray beards, to assist in prep?

Well unfortunately with graduation ending at noon and the game at 2 I will not be able to attend (out of state family is in town), but we will be watching it on tv. Gonna be an emotional day in so many ways on Saturday, hopefully happy across the board!

Go for the home run ball and try to convince all of your family to celebrate with you at the game...long shot for sure but maybe worth a try!

How many more stud JC and Grad transfers can we lure with our playoff run?? Join a winner!

any idea the status of psyk?

I was just going to ask the same thing. Don't think there's any news, but he seemed to be in some real pain in the middle of the 4th quarter when he got banged up.

This is the Fall 2025 Finals Schedule at Davis:

Last season Hastings took a final the day before he played a Quarterfinal FCS Football game, catching a flight, what, the afternoon before...to South Dakota? Glad we're at home, but we have to work and get these finals taken care of, get the bodies healthy and get the packages installed and drilled if we're going to beat Illinois State. As a program that prides itself and recruits on the "UC Davis Degree" we're going to have to learn how to navigate this part of the year.

Plough mentioned earlier in the week that if we make a deep enough run, there is a chance we could, maybe get some guys back from injury. Any update on guys coming back for next weekend?

hamstring strain

Can someone please inform me which section I should sit in for there to be actually loud fans? The last few times I've sat in the alumni section it's been pathetic with everyone staring at me for making noise

I sit in 120 and yell the entire game.
