Delayed response on this one. Very cool to see a kid from my Alma Mater with high accolades coming to UCD!
Blake Thorpe 6'3" TE/WR- Las Lomas HS in Walnut Creek. Go Knights!
Anyone know if he was recruited as a TE, or WR?

The more I think about it.....

I'm just going to go ahead and say it:
We are a 27 yard FG away from being 5-2. We are a top-25 team, but overrated.
This is going to be a dogfight.

This is the most entertaining season I've followed (since '04). Every week from here on out we get to see if this program is for real. Constantly having to prove yourself is a powerful thing.

San Jose State is trash this year, and Spartan Stadium is an easy place to play. I don't care what Montana's record is this year, a win at Wa-Griz Saturday would be our 1st big boy win.

I want to see the Blue CA on the gold helmet.....just to see what it looks like.

Davis needs to roll in to Missoula EXPECTING to win. Because for the first time in 7 tries, we should.

Hawk and Plough will have them ready for the Big Sky big stage.

Looks like we are going to need to run the ball well due to weather.

Looking forward to see how good this team really is.

Wow!

I really want one of those slick white helmets

Biggest road game in DI era? — movielover

YES

I don't give a crap what we are ranked. Beat Montana.

I'm going to go ahead and say it: we are are not a Top-10 team yet. But I'll take the cool ranking.

This is our first year being formidable opponent week-in and week-out since 2002.
and we are just getting started in terms of getting this program back to yearly conference dominance.

We got a LONG way to go this season - Montana and Eastern on the ROAD, and NAU and Sac at home. 4 teams that can and will beat us if the team starts marveling at the rankings. I'm sure Hawk has already started in on them.

One thing that stuck with me after the Stanford win in '05 was when Biggs was asked "what did you say to those guys before the game to get them to pull off an upset like this?" He was humble, he said he doesn't have to holler at these kids to get them motivated. They do that themselves just fine. He just gets the message across and lets them go.

I like it. Save the yelling for when you really need it.....like at halftime in Frisco.

Sounds like we are real lucky to have a guy like Jake at Davis. Hopefully he wants to stick around and coach (after he plays some pro ball). Sounds like the perfect candidate to keep in the Aggie family.

highly possible Hawkins get's snapped up by another program. — Polydad

I doubt it. Hawkins looks like he's having the time of his life building this program back and impacting kids at a school he is emotionally attached to. We all know its pretty special to do what you love, at a place you love. He's probably made good money over the years and is comfortable.

It doesn't get much better that that.

They guy with the helmet is still bat shit crazy.

Once Doss and Maier are gone the Big Sky will be all the Aggies can handle, trust me. — Polydad

lol have you seen our recruiting classes lately? We are deeper than ever.

IMHO we can improve at QB. Hunter Rodriguez looked great against Stanford. We are loaded at QB, and WRs are lining up to play in this offense.

$$$$$$$$$$$$

Coaches Poll is useless. Everyone on AGS just laughs at it.

What kind of team rules are we talking? It matters.

but this is a rivalry and you know the best team doesn't always win a rivalry game. — Polydad

That's for damn sure. We have beaten both Poly and Sac when we had NO business doing so. Hawkins will have these guys ready to keep the 'Shoe in Davis.

Stack the box. Make 'em throw on 3rd down. Our secondary is vastly improved.

Whenever I hear Ramses Barden I think of Nacho Libre.
