I’m never going to understand not kicking a field goal to try to go up 14 points there. To the grave. Someone please have some kind of explanation I’ve overlooked.

Breather

Didn’t want to turn it over down there

REMARKABLE the Aggies are in this game with zero crowd support. 100% guarantee we are winning right now with a crazy loud crowd.

Chill jazz/hip hop up until the Vandals snap is putting the crowd to sleep.
Very quiet crowd

4000+ students waiting to run in is AWESOME. But 1/2 these kids aren’t getting seated by kickoff.

Go Jacks

Lord knows we’ll need a win over someone with at least ONE quality victory at some point this season.
We play NAU in a few weeks

20-9 NAU over Sac ….7:22 3q

On a QB fumble, scoop and score.

"Eck did provide a little bulletin board material when he said he feels his Vandals have played a tougher schedule than the Aggies, given that UCD's three victories are over teams that are a combined 1-11 this fall"

Yikes. It is a very good thing the Aggies got to face Cal and experience a bigger / faster team.
Aggies will really find out who they are tomorrow.

Your opinion that those of us who attend Aggie football games (as alumni or otherwise) have no right to tell a university how to conduct its business is a weird one.

Your opinion is welcome, of course. (welcome to the boards!)
But I will repeat, a Division 1 athletics program should be ready, and expect, a lot of pressure from fans/alumni for progress and results. I don't think there is one D1 Athletics Director or Department in the country that expects anything different.

I don't think you are offensive. I said you sound offended by some frustrated diehard alums.

And when you are done with your studies and no longer have any official role with the school you shift to being an external customer. — yolohw

You may have a hard time understanding the concept of an Alumni Association...whereas, the university reaches out to graduates with the "Aggie For Life" slogan.
The University wants to cultivate a community of people who care about their alma mater. And so should the Athletic Department.

Just a personal opinion, and an unpopular one I'm sure- but I don't think we really have the right to any input on future facilities or the direction of the athletic department. — yolohw

This is Division 1 athletics. Everyone has an opinion, and will continue to. The opinions will get louder with time and perceived inactivity by the athletic department.

These kinds of posts sound like an athletic department insider (employee of a public university) has some hurt feelings.

Look, this 'ain't your front porch. I am not your guest when I attend games at my alma mater.

lol Rocko gets paid the same whether he Tweets or not. His inactivity so far says a lot....

To maybe temper the disappointment of Sac getting their stadium....

We got our upgrade-to-modern stadium with a little capacity bump 17 years ago.

Today they announced their upgrade-to-modern stadium with a little capacity bump. This doesn't mean they are leaving the Big Sky- in fact, the attendance number of 25k means they are planning on falling back into the BSC when all this dust settles. Time will tell.

Athletic department wasted 10 years patting themselves on the back after taking 30 years getting the stadium built . Edwards Center was a nearly a decade late.

....and here we are.

Sac has taken forever as well, I'm sure their fans won't argue that.

Kevin Blue had a fire under his a**. I miss that cat. Blue and Hawk did some things, didn't they....

Find one undergrad, JUST ONE, that knows football and is passionate about it. That's the student section MC. Teach the students how to make noise on defense, teach them what the important downs are. Tell them the visiting team hates them and their family, and that their brains can't function if its too loud behind them....their boys want to beat the hell out of our boys, and we are here to help our boys (that type of stuff). This can be done in 2 minutes before kickoff. — SochorField

Heck, if they can't find anyone, have a couple of the Redshirt players do this 5-10 mins before kickoff. Students would get fired up for it.

The NIL era is getting interesting, highlighted by Matt Sluka at UNLV....Is guys quitting on their teams after 3 games to redshirt and enter the portal a new thing this year, or are we just now hearing about it? I believe a guy at USC (Bear Alexander) just announced the same thing....Now I see another UNLV player is doing the same thing?

These UNLV guys start 3-0 with wins vs. disappointing Houston and Kansas teams (and our buddies at Utah Tech), and now believe they should get "paid" because they market value has increased?
