  • Bob Dunning Makes His Case for UCD to Move to FBS
    you don’t think the greater Davis-Dixon metroplex would come out in droves for a Friday night 8:00 kickoff with New Mexico? MWC teams don’t HOST USC or Penn State. San Jose is playing in a stadium with one side of the stadium closed to fans and STILL don’t fill.

    I imagine the MWC stopped looking when the Big 12 filled their two openings with teams outside the MWC.

    I just remember South Alabama coming in 10 years ago ready to take the FBS by storm. They rarely get 20k in football crazy Mobile. I think we’d have a similar fate in the MWC, especially if we’re filling spots vacated by Boise, San Diego, etc (filled by other Big Sky teams or New Mexico State!)

    The Sac box score was interesting about midway through game. They had about 31 points and plenty of yards, but something like 10 first downs. Then you look at individual stats and the column of ‘long play’ and you see different guys with 53, 33, 20,19; pass plays of 41, 26, 22.

    Lots of big plays

    We don’t blitz often but they killed us on a couple today. The Conner play came on a blitz that left us exposed. They ran a screen for a big gain on another that led to the FG.

    The 70 yard toss and run, followed by an INT (TD after short drive) really put us in a hole. That being said, we were down 17-3 1:30 left in half, and about to receive 2nd half kickoff. Mistakes put us in 4th and 17 hole. And they score after failed fourth. Game, set, match

    Sac seems to have this two headed QB monster rolling, 31-7 at half

    I thought the runner was down. But that could have been a chance to turn things around.
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    I believe we were 3-15 for 37 yards in the first half. Might have the attempts off, but pretty sure on completions and yards. In comparison we were lights out in the 2nd!

    As they say, only lose this game once. In other words, put it behind you, roll the next two and get ready for a furious final three games.

    Just a disaster from the get go. They didn’t score off roughing the kicker, but that cost us at least 25 yards of field position- seemed we started inside our 10 all day. Never got any better. Gilliam is a stud

    unfortunately, that's an era where onside kicks were much more successful than now. we're kinda screwed.

    I thought he was in on that last play

    I have the KHTK pregame on TunedIn so that’s a good sign
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    I’ll give all 3 (varsity, khtk and tunedin) a try before I have to hit the soccer fields. Has anyone been listening to the radio calls?
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    I’ll try different options from 12-1 while watching. I wonder if the varsity network only shows schools with archived content?
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    hopefully TunedIn still works or the Varsity thing will somehow work
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    when I clicked the ‘listen’ link for tomorrow’s game it took me to something called The Varsity Network. I downloaded the App and will listen while watching my 4 year old grandson’s soccer game.

    Hmmm….I can’t find Davis in the search. Only show 6 Big Sky teams.

    if he were a slot receiver, his name might not fit the top of the jersey.

    university of beer is a good choice, but last time I was there they didn’t have food (the Thai place delivered there).

    They added that Budweiser pavilion beyond the one basket for beer/wine and offers spots to stand and watch the action.

    Grad was so convenient since it was almost across the street.

    good points. The most important defensive stat, to me, is scoring defense. We’ve held our 3 quality opponents to 20 which should give us a chance to win every week. Our fourth quarters have been incredibly good, which is a sign of a quality team.
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    This game is huge; win and you’re 6-0 with two of the weaker teams in conference coming up. Never look ahead BUT a win puts us in a spot for quite a finish.
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    I guess what makes me nervous is that we really struggled on offense in spring. Have things changed that much since then? We were missing Gilliam, which effects us in many ways and we had two turnovers in March.

    I expect a much closer game than Dunning
  • Week 6: UC Davis @ Idaho State
    Spring game they head us to 300 yards and 13 first downs at our place. Is their defense weaker? Our offense much stronger? Took a last minute drive to win. Hopefully he get a confident accurate HR back, and unleash all our weapons. I can’t take another nailbiter this early in the year
