Your guess is as good as mine, probably better. The conference as a whole has several other schools and sponsors several other sports, but football is suffering. http://www.gnacsports.com/home/default/

I think it's laughable that FBS/D1A won't play a more inclusive playoff system. Four teams? They get four weeks between their last regular season game and the first playoff game, typically played in a fair weather city in the southern half of the country. This year the winners get nine days to prepare for the final game. We get arguments about how preparing for a multi-round playoff is unfair to these student athletes and that coaches and administrators are opposed to a more extensive playoff. Ha! If all the other divisions, and the NAIA teams, can play more games when fewer of the players will ever have a realistic chance of playing professionally, then the players in the FBS division can take a little time off from their bio-science labs and debate team practices.....but I digress.

Heck, bring back the Astrodome....

Saw a fog bound game between USC and Oregon State in Corvallis in 2004. Okay, really didn't see it. So foggy that from the south end zone there were periods of the game that we simply could not see the action on the field. One play in particular stands out, or so I'm told...Leinhart threw a TD to Dominique Byrd that could only have been a timing pattern. I don't think Lienhart could have seen Byrd when he threw the ball and Byrd could not have seen the ball in flight. From our seats we only knew something had happened by hearing the crowd from the opposite end of the field.

"Am I seeing that right? All Eight Seeds advance to final 8?"

Duquesne's first round victory at Towson is the only win by a road team thus far. In the second round all of the seeds/home teams won.

And before it was the Grad it was ???

Also recall many meals at Nation's Giant Hamburgers, particularly when the dorm food wasn't going to do it. Back when I was there, and men were men and...well, hamburgers were $.65 and cheeseburgers were $.85.

I have had a baseball cap with the "lemon logo" for years. It's "adjustable" rather than fitted and has the higher crown. I am not sure where I bought it, it has been that long.

Also have the flannel cap, navy with the tan/gold lemon logo, that I must have bought at the book store during the campus centennial.

I was at Davis when it was L&M or Jake's out near El Macero....and the old-timers in that era used to talk about having to go to Frenchy's on the south edge of Woodland.

"...opposing coaches are often more complementary pregame...."

Lou Holtz could be getting ready for a game against the Northwest Dakota Southern School for the Blind at Lesser Grand Falls and talk it up like they were playing the New England Patriots.

I just wonder if McClure would take the cut in pay and position to return to Sac at this point in his career. It would be like UCD thinking Chris Peterson would leave Washington to return to Davis. I'm not sure we would ever have been able to hire Hawkins if his career had not hit a couple of bumps in Boulder and Montreal...Throw in that I, admittedly with some bias, think that UCD has to be generally more attractive than Sac. Larger campus, more visilbility, more support across the board, etc.

Nice to read about the Aggies twice....

Just another comment on press coverage. The articles are the same, but the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier article was picked up by the Sioux City Journal. These towns are not neighbors. Waterloo and Cedar Falls are in the eastern third of Iowa, Sioux City is on the western edge. Would be like Fresno or Redding picking up an Enterprise article on the Ags. (Or a Bee article if there was one.)

In the changing world of print media, our observations on the Bee's coverage are as much the result of a shrinking business as they are a deliberate choice of the paper itself. I am sure they would love to put out large editions covering every sport down to youth baseball, etc., but readership is down, costs of paper, ink and labor are up. Space and money are limited. Decisions are made in the business office as much as in the editor's.

Still the Chron can cover several pro and college teams, or it used to.

So I can't revert to my long ago childhood in Iowa and call it SCI? Or, even ISTC?

Today's Sacramento Bee article:
"No result found"

Davidson lists three possibilities, all with CSUS or other local ties. Osterhout at ARC, Troy Taylor, the OC at Utah, and Angus McClure, ass't head coach at Nevada. Hard to imagine anyone leaving a coordinator job in the Pac 12 or ass't head coach spot in the MWC to take the job at Sac. Hornet faithful love McClure, but again, why leave his current job for this?

They went 7-4 last season, 6-2 in the Big Sky and knocking on the door of the playoffs. This year they fell to 2-8, 0-7, and one of those victories was over NAIA St. Francis of Illinois which finished the season 4-7. Two teams that Sac beat last year, the Ags and Incarnate word, made the FCS playoffs this year. Hornets were moving in the wrong direction.

You heard it here first. Not on the CSUS fan site yet....
