I watched the last 5 minutes of the Montana game.
Gotta love Hauck ......up 24-0 with 1:40 left in the game inside UNC's 20 yard line....running what seemed like 10 plays trying to score. A completed PASS from QB1 to TE1 to the goaline from the 2 ended the game.

Good grief....18 game losing streak for UNC (broke it last week). That's a lot of losing.

Even in those rough Gould years the Ags won at least a couple games a year.

Cool to see Coach Biggs up there!

45+ points needed for poll BS against a team like UNC....

I stand by my opinion that this is the toughest road uniform combo ever (whether is the Davis script, or CA logo helmet...doesn't matter). Ags should keep rolling with it after this W.

"EWU head coach Aaron Best said of Larison. “Our challenge to the defense was to contain him … (257) all-purpose yards, that’s a decent day at quarterback, and he doesn’t play that position.
“He’s a good player, but I think we made him a little more effective than we anticipated.” "
Don't forget to give credit where credit is due, coach. Miles went for 64% 329 yds. and 4 TD's, no INTS on your defense,

EWU got beat by 2 scores. Your boys got beat by a better team this time. Just take that L.

Alexander #6 is a physical beast. He’s not out there?

EWU defense is jacked up early…..Looks like the slow-start version of the Aggies today

My favorite uniform combo.

Speaking of football in California.......looks like about 25,000-30,000 at Cal today vs. NC State. Cal is 3-3 and not terrible. Absolutely perfect fall day.

Sac State as a "dominant" athletics program is crazy work.

Man I love the traditional gold helmets.
I hope we keep rocking those. The script Davis and the CA look great on gold.

You are right.
I spent some time going back to look at some attendance numbers from old box scores / write-ups from Toomey from like 2003-2006. Attendance really was around 5,000-8,000, if we want to be brutally honest. The average game with students during the term looked like around 6,500-7,000. I remember it that way too.
I wanted to see if the new stadium boosted attendance. It did.

Absolutely.

Bringing this thread back now that we are more than halfway through the season.
The Ags are going to need all the help they can get over the final 2 home games.

The students need to literally be told how to make noise at a football game. They don't know what to do. They are also starting to sit in increasing numbers (in the student section).

This can be fixed in about 2 minutes if Darius can grab the mic for a couple mins pre-game and give a pep talk. He'd know what to say, I'm sure.

Can we not with that Brookings trip please :cry:

This is good point.
Moving to D1 / FCS in 2003 was an attainable goal with a landing spot in Great West Conference (with the eventuality of the Big Sky, who added 6 schools a few years later - UNC 2006, UCD CP UND SUU 2012). I seriously doubt we'd have been able to upgrade facilities to FBS levels at the time anyway (if the MWC/WAC had been knocking)- way too big a jump for Davis at one time. And "geography" still mattered back then, so those cross-county conferences weren't ever an option like they are now.

Moving up the ladder over time as we have seems prudent. But how much time are we talking here? It would be nice to hear some kind of timeline from the AD- we talking 2030, 2050, whenever? Give us something....

like the davis stadium but find it underwhelming. — Jdur

Maybe they never had the chance to experience the old-world charm of Toomey Field?

"concept photos" is a loose term :D
I've given some thoughts on this previously....

Second half of the season started last Saturday, and the Aggies played their best game.

I think the Ags go to Cheney and break the curse. Confidence must be high in the locker room this week.
