  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    There has to be a good argument from the NCAA. Perhaps they know Sac isn't truly ready for this yet....and saw right through the BS.
    Having a program fail at a move is not a good look.
    I really don't know....

    Playoff games on TV and Top-10 rankings are key as well. FCS programs need all the exposure help they can get.

    I don't think we have one foot out the door. I think we are happy in the FCS and Big Sky for now. We are smart to have someplace to go if things get really good for us.

    One thing is for sure: Davis is never in a hurry to do anything. I could see minor stadium improvements over the next 5-10 years of FCS membership.

    Keep in mind, we were happy with the Big West/Big Sky set-up for 13 years, and it provided a nice opportunity to move into the MWC basically at our leisure.
  • Utah FCS schools to Big Sky
    I like it. Southern Utah belongs in the Big Sky, as does Utah Tech.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    The traditional college experience that we grew up with is over.Sailorgabe

    I'd say 99% of the guys on the Davis roster are living the traditional college experience. Full or partial scholarship, and football. Lan and a couple others got a little extra cash.
    I'd say this is the entire FCS.

    The FBS is becoming what you are talking about.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    I think *with the type of guys Sac is bringing in* I think more than a few of these guys were lured by the excitement of a new HC, stadium upgrade, Shaq / Bibby on campus, and an FBS move...basically they were sold on an up-and-coming program. They likely had never even heard of Sac State.
    So, I just wonder what this all looks like for these guys when they realize Sac State is really just "Sac State" after all. I'm not saying there's going to be a mass exodus, but I wonder how many guys will stick, especially the younger guys...

    If they all get their $$ I guess all could be well....
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    The older guys are probably stuck at this point......but it does leave a lot of younger guys....

    Most accurate replies:
    "He will be gone in a year"
    "Translation: I don't want the recruits to bail on us"

    What are all of these 3-4 star guys going to do when it hits they are playing in the FCS for likely their entire time in Sacramento?

    This whole thing looks like its not going to end well.....

    This is what I would sound like if I did a 2025 Preview and Schedule Prediction for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns or (any other team I know nothing about)......

    No lie though.....7-5 isn't crazy.
  • CAL AD retires
    Sounds about right!
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Fascinating....the difference in management styles between the UCD and Sac State Athletic Departments.

    The bluster and hubris has made for some great entertainment.
  • CAL AD retires
    I'd guess the Cal AD makes 3x what the Davis AD makes....
  • UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow
    As far as daily participation AST is near the top of the BSC, right up there with UM and MSU. A ways behind egriz as far as number of active posters. After UM, MSU and UCD....its a huge drop-off. Lately Sac has closed some of the gap.
    AST is by far the most civil forum I've experienced, though.

    Admin. has been 99.9% hands-off......we hope it remains this way. And I'm sure it will.

    I also said people don't read......which looks like the case (myself included...I didn't read all of it. :lol: )
  • New Uniforms
    We didn't do a great job advertising the UCD / Tahoe research connection. People aren't getting it.....lots of "Davis is 3 hours away" comments. People also don't read, so.....
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Now this is good reading.......:clap:

    LOL
    Wood and Marion arguing with people on X is such a terrible look.
    These guys look SO unstable and delusional.

    Just let your actions do the talking and get the heck off X.....
  • Jake Maier and the Calgary Stampeders
    To be fair though, the current starting QB is 39 years old (and a future CFL hall of famer, it looks like). Jake may be seen as a replacement when he retires in a season or two? QB3 is some 4th year scrub from Penn State….he's never started a game and coincidentally backed up Jake in Calgary.
