Hawaii is never not going to be a problem.....

Pass D is for sure an issue as well. Work to do on both sides of the ball.

I'm confused on what kind of team we have here, even at this point in the season.
Aggies could go 9-3 and easily make the playoffs OR finish 7-5 and get left out (again).

Either scenario is entirely possible and I'm pinning the rest of the season on how Plough handles OC duties. Is he able to get Larison in position to dominate and play to his real potential?

Does he follow Aggie football closely, and what is his AST handle .....:D

Sac left for D1 in 1991 I believe. It wasn't the end of the world for UCD. UCD caught up (beating them routinely all the while).

It took Davis 12 years to catch up and announce a move to D1....If Sac moves to FBS, it might take Davis a decade or more to catch up again.

So far the Aggies are #2 in total offensive plays and #8 in scoring offense (26 PPG).
Interesting.

Question though....I'm still unclear on the rule.

If I stand in endzone with two feet in it, and stick my arms out over the goal line and catch the ball with the ball at the 1/2 yard line, do I have possession of the ball in the endzone?
Becasue I'm clearly in the endzone with possession of the ball.


To make things more confusing.....I can have one foot in the back of the endzone, and catch the ball outside the endzone, and I "have possession" in the endzone.

The ref that made the TD call was positioned exactly on the goal line and only a few feet from the catch. So with that call on the field and camera angles that weren’t on the goal line and poorly positioned for a good review, the call on the field had to stand. — NCagalum

Enough said. Case closed.

One thing I've never really seen from UCD is significant outreach / advertising to actually TRY to get people to come to Football/Basketball games. I seem to remember a billboard a few years ago for a couple weeks (?) but that's about it. I don't live in the area, so maybe I'm not seeing it if its happening.....

Before I get started on this rant, I'll just say....between the amount of undergrads on campus and the 67,000 people in sleepy Davis....there is no reason why we can't get 20,000 in Aggie stadium every week.

A lot of people live in the immediate area. If we figure we've lost Sacramento (never even had it)...there are 367,000 people within a 30 minute drive (Davis, Dixon, Woodland, Vacaville, Fairfield). General pop won't likely care about Aggie athletics, but there must be alumni here.

There is a ton UCD alumni in Contra Costa County. There are plenty of Aggies within 50 mins of Davis near me, and they do make the drive. CC County general population won't care about Davis football, but there are plenty of alums here (260,000 people in Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Walnut Creek)...

I've always seen some geographic similarities between Pullman (32,000) and Davis. Washington State gets people in the stadium and on good years they fill it up all year. But, if Wazzu was in the Big Sky, I bet their attendance would mirror Idaho's.
If Davis moves up, there is potential....but I'm not sure we are going to "make it" as a football program over the next 10 years the way things are changing if we don't do something. Changing who we play, community outreach, stadium upgrades.....something....

Honestly, changing who we play might be the only answer. I don't think we are going to change the level of passion / knowledge for football with students and community in our current situation.

Right...Anything can happen. Things we never thought we'd see keep happening....The Rose Bowl Game is no longer between the Pac-10 / Big 10 (ancient history now)....The Pac 10 became the Pac-12 (ancient history now).....Pac-12 died (already ancient history).....

I couldn't hear the refs explanation on the broadcast. Is that the rule?

That's the rule in the "back" of the endzone (one foot), but two feet in at the goal line? It makes sense.

The ref right in front of the play made the call.

He had a perfect view. No camera angle was better. I agree with the call (of course).

Here comes some PSU luck. Need that sometimes....

Porter almost had one last week late too....Not smart play.

Doing just enough. Doing a good job scrapping together a drive.

Its like a misfiring car right now....

Need 6 here to take the wind out of the Viks sails.

Still in it.

When a manger is overwhelmed, the sh*t rolls downhill. Pretty soon the entire unit can't operate efficiently.

Such a stark contrast from the way the Aggie defense operates with a great DC.

That looked like helmet to helmet on Lan there. Hopefully they look at that one. Rung his bell.
