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:

I like the more manageable geographical conference idea for the rest of us....And imagine what this could look like in 30 years.....

10 years?
Also, I admit I didn't read the article (shame!)

This is extreme, but,...at the present trajectory, and with no guardrails.....it feels like we are headed for a completely different college sports landscape within the next 5-10 years (?) *corrected per DrMike*:

DI - "Power 4" ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC (professional 'collegiate' athletes)
DII - Everyone else (scholarship / non-scholarship athletes)
DIII - Everyone who was DII

This would be near-destruction of traditional college athletics for the sake of the 4-conference-revenue-machine....unless someone steps in and does something

Wow

Culture! I'm sure it helps....NFL wants mature, prepared guys.
Best of luck to Lan!

Cal fans (especially my old man) were worried every year Ott was at Cal that he'd transfer. Smart to earn his degree first.

So much portal activity over there.......like 30 dudes coming/going in the last month. Most recently more guys leaving.....
Mayhem.....

Pinnick appears to be a really good athlete

No new news here .....
4 QBs pictured on IG taking part in Spring Practice today:

Harper SR
Rasor SO?
Pinnick RSFR
Wrighster RSFR

I totally get your point. Its a good one and I don't disagree with you.
Do I personally believe Sac State is a "victory at all costs" scenario? Probably.

I've always had a great admiration for the culture of the Davis football program. The continuity of it over the years is incredible and to be respected. Its clearly a very difficult thing to uphold such high standards year after year. Some or most programs can never get there: "win or lose, we are doing it right" type of thing.
