Doesn’t matter if we like it or not, SacSt is going to really benefit from these moves. — Sailorgabe

They are? This is looking more and more like a house-of-cards situation. Both of these coaches will move on after 1 successful season- count on that. The players they are bringing in (and as a result, the players they are pushing out) are not helping to build a sustainable culture. Classic pump and dump situation.
They get to FBS, and then what, toil in mediocracy with problem players and revolving coaches every season?

There are no shortcuts when it comes to building a positive, sustainable, winning culture where players/coaches buy-in for the long haul and stay connected long after they are gone.

We don't need to do anything they way Sac is doing it, and we won't. Watching what they are doing is only reinforcing for our admin and alums that what is happening at Davis long-term is pretty great.

You can't deny the pattern here KD....I mean come on....

What they are doing is great. How they are doing it is not. Even their fans are a little uneasy about things. Absolutely gambling on high risk coaches/players to make a short-term marketing/media splash is a terrible foundation on which to build a program long-term. (I'm talking about football and basketball)

The entire thing seems desperate at this point.

I'm cool not doing what Sac is doing.

The guy almost beat a 9-2 team (at the time) by himself.

I could see Davis going over to Sac in the first 3 games nearly every season as an FCS team.
It'll be a different looking matchup for Davis.

if the spring roster on the website is correct, number 10 Jayden Stanley made a couple really nice plays at cornerback. One was a good open field tackle on Dobbins and the other was a pass break up near the goal line.

Pinnick’s play was encouraging. He ran for a touchdown and threw That beautiful touchdown pass.

It’s hard to say with Harper because I had to leave pretty early on. The defense looked pretty damn good, but you know they had a pretty Good idea what was coming I’m sure.

I did not see Wrighster play at all before I left. I saw about 20 minutes of football

yes. Had a nice chat with a legendary DrMike and his lovely wife!

Mitchell Dixon is an absolute giant out there. Lotta snaps at TE

Just left. Unfortunately, had to dip early!

Pretty good for a rainy day!

Hard to tell from here.

50,000 attendance. Beat Sac!

Pinnick hurt his leg. Looks like high ankle, like Lan

At the Spring Game. Crowd looks good

It was Jim Les/Hersey Hawkins NBA connection that brought Corey to Davis for the '12-'13 season (Les' 2nd year).

Payne and Harden were GREAT Stewart recruits. He did some good things for the program.

I always thought it was interesting Tyler Les ended up at Davis from Illinois the season before his dad got here.

Painful memory: Les' first year, the Aggies lost 21 straight D1 games (got an early D2 win vs. UCSC)

Now that Sac is moving to FBS, I like to compare Sac to Fresno State. Fresno State is primarily a commuter school and they've had big attendance success in the past. The key ingredient is winning. I saw some pretty sparse attendance in the past few years with more losses.

Its hard to say if Sac can match Fresno State in football/basketball attendance though. Fresno and Sac are pretty different towns in a few ways - there seems to be a connection between the Valley and FSU athletics- this is lacking bigtime with Sac. Fresno's surrounding areas (counties) may have a higher population which helps.

I like what they are doing with season tickets. I got the email this morning....

"New Alumni: 2016 grads and later $100"

"Section 126 Bartop seating $350 each"

Scary is right. This entire thing has been all over the place. To say this thing is on shaky ground is an understatement. We'll see how it all plays out I guess!

These guys are doing 6-7 years of college....

Did him dirty yesterday with that bad INT....:lol:
