If built today, what’s your guess on how much it would cost to build the existing UC Davis Health Stadium from start to finish, as you saw it Saturday?

It's nice to relax and watch a game. I'm not sure I had a nailbiter left in me.

Not sure where this goes

Thanks! As you might be able to tell, I’m a hard-hitting journalist by day, getting the meat of the story.

Any reason why Lan switched his jersey from #3 to #24 at half?

Yeah, Davis has it pretty good compared to Portland State. There were 2,519 in attendance, but it felt more like 1,500. I counted maybe 30 students. It was great to see AggieFinn and catch up.

They definitely did not look like a 4-1 team.

Right! My kid's high school played in the 6A championship game last fall, and I was like, WTF? Luckily, my son went to the Oregon and Oregon State games, so he knows we're not a high school team.

Finn, I'll be in touch.

Welcome back to Portland! My oldest son and I will be there too. Let's make sure we connect in person.

I get it. It was kind of a pipe dream anyway, but it was fun to dream. And to be frank, do we want to join FBS in its current state? I say we let the dust settle and see where all this plays out.

Having said that, it's not a good email. Blaming donations is a copout for his careless tweet.

This is an interesting site. Thanks for sharing! I forgot we played UTSA. I assume they were FCS in 2011?

True. It's definitely a stopgap. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like things for them are moving too fast. And I’m not being bitter. I’m happy for them, but maybe more planning is needed.

It's not a recipe for success. Students would have to get in their cars and drive to home basketball games, albeit just 6-7 miles, but still not walking distance. And what about volleyball?

Appreciate the update!

What a mess. Let's sit this around out ;)

Their “defense” is allowing 53.5 points a game :chin:

The current students and alumni are not interested in FCS football, so last night's low attendance was not surprising.

But if we build it, students will start attending UC Davis for the education AND athletics. It will take time, but the fan base will grow, and some alumni will start showing interest.

Attendance will not change until we change.

ESPN+ for me. I am trying to make it down for the Cal Poly game. We’re looking at colleges for my oldest, and I want him to see Davis with all the students.
