It didn't matter where we were......pretty sure they heard us from the endzone at Toomey.

Just read the Davis Enterprise Article. Gould still blaming injuries and the kids themselves for not "getting it" as he is walking out the door.

I bet some people are insulted by Gould's idea that he "changed a culture."

Even if I agree with both of you, your logic doesn't't explain why Coach Biggs did more with less. — movielover

Biggs was a better coach. I don't think anyone would disagree with that.

Purdue should be #1.

We are the only one that has autographs. Pretty cool.

I'll venture a guess that Hawkins will do the same, as did Gould.

The real trickery comes when we kick a field goal on 3rd down. They'll never see it coming.

Who was Hawkins' OC at Colorado? Mark Helfrich. Interesting tidbit.

The guys knows people.

Anything but the spread. If I see 4th and 3/4 inches at the 1 yard line from the shotgun once more on TV I'm going to barf. Personally, I'm bored to death with the spread at this point. Cutting edge in 2004....

Any word on what the mood was like?

Exciting news! Good publicity too....maybe will get a mention with our logo on SportsCenter?

It all depends on the new HC of course, but it would be nice to see CJ stay healthy and get a shot to be the starter.

Nothing glamorous about rebounding. Gotta do it!

"Since his appointment, Gould has taken UC Davis’ football program to a new level — both on the field and in the classroom."
Uhhhhh, what? I just don't know what to say. This is actually insulting to the legacy of past Aggie coaches.....is this representative of a student population that has no clue what they are watching?

Chill man. I brainfarted on the winning percentages (was in a rush)

Seems like a tough gig to be an assistant. Tough on the family to move around a lot.

I do hope at least of couple of these guys are kept in Davis. They work real hard.

When transferring from FCS to FBS, no waiting year is required.

We need to get this winner back somehow.

I know Hawkins would probably have his own guys, but this would be neat.....

Dan Hawkins HC
Troy Taylor OC
Mark Johnson DC
Jeff Copp assistant
Tim Plough assistant
Keane assistant

Copp and Plough are at NAU
Mark Johnson, last I heard, is at Woodland Christian right up the road

You mentioned hoping that Gould doesn't poach us.....
Me too! Kelley and Doss could probably play at Fresno State tomorrow.
If Gould truly values his relationship with these kids, I don't think he could truly, in good faith, lure them from UC Davis to Fresno State (provided he lands there with Tedford). After all, the recruiting mantra was "College is not a 4 year decision, its a 40 year decision."

I like your list, with exception of anyone from Montana from that era....
I like the idea of Blue reaching out to Peterson, Patterson, Hawkins, his Stanford connection- Shaw, etc, for leads on assistants. I would bet HC's wouldnt want to volunteer their guys, but you never know what could come up.

I really would like to see more size and an inside presence. UC Irvine, UCSB and UCR don't seem to have problems signing guys over 6'9" We are talking about a style of play here with Les.

If we are holding ourselves to a higher academic standard when recruiting compared to Cal, UCLA, UCI, UCSB, and UCR AND are expecting to be competitive in the Big West more than once every 5 seasons, we are fooling ourselves. But this is a completely different topic, I know.
