“It’s all on me. We have to learn to block and tackle better and we have to just take responsibility and fix it,” said Brent Brennan, now 2-12 as the SJSU coach “Obviously, I’m very disappointed and everyone is disappointed. We had a great crowd out here tonight and we let them down.”

12300 is a great crowd for your home opener? besides "Crazy George" and his drum (yep, THAT Crazy George) it wasn't a very loud crowd. I think the 4000 or so that left at halftime ain't coming back.

A playoff team that WALLOPED NAU in the playoffs!

San Jose Mercury had a small picture saying ‘score was 37-24’ at print time. Curious to see if there is a print story tomorrow or if high school edges it out

it has to be VERY discouraging for SJSU. at halftime, students were pouring out of the stadium. in the 2nd half, the one section of box seats at the 50 were empty. not mostly empty, but EMPTY. not sure what their pregame atmosphere is like because its not in the area it used to be (off of 10th). but, its not looking very good for them. they announced 13000 attendence last night which seems padded. their next home game is September 29 after road games at Oregon and Washington State, followed by a bye. they will be 0-3 heading into Hawaii. Not looking promising.

Thomas was not 100%, according to radio. Could have used him in the 4th to pound it a bit. I thought we got too conservative with the clock in the 4th after the fumble recovery, and that put use in a tough spot at the end. But, we pulled it out.

We probably should have been up 37-14 at the half; tipped interception lead to short TD, and a clanked FG from short. Second half was really sloppy on offense. Too many penalties (5 guys in the backfield 2 plays in a row....i think the line judge is partially to blame for that), and several drops stopped drives. we have the ball at their 45 after the safety and did nothing. that would have put them away.

kicking game wasn't great. two missed FG's, punts were spotty, and the kick offs were not deep (directional stuff didn't work out too well). we HAVE to clean that up.

nice to be nitpicking the negatives after a FBS victory! San Diego and Idaho will be tough, but we could get through September 3-1. that would be something.

first play, double move by Doss, Maier goes deep to the other side to hit Montgomery running all alone for a TD. Defense rises up and we win.

i heard their coach on KNBR this morning. he feels the strength of their team is the seniors on the DL. they will present a challange to our running game.

It’s tonight, Wednesday. Sudwerk event was Tuesday

i figure to get there early, walk over to Stanley's bar and grill (where the pregame is being help) to have a light dinner before the appetizers/beer.

My map app shows 1 hour from my house in Livermore right now. 2 hours from woodland. roads are 'blue', smooth sailing. hope that's the case on Thursday.

I thought we parked across the street in cheaper lots before. I think (hope) the $35 is for the tailgate section. I remember having to walk through that last time. Wasn’t ‘Fresno State’ obnoxious but close. I thought they stopped selling beer inside the stadium a few years back. Not sure if that’s the case now EDITTED: beer sales were reinstated last year after a five year drought

should have beat them in 2008. that was tough one, losing 13-10 with 8 seconds to go. we started someone named Daniel Alfaro that day because Greg Denham (name from the past!) was injured!

two reasons for the thursday:

1) attendence. just like Reno a few years ago, they think a Labor Saturday won't draw flies, but they might get more on a Thursday being the only game in town;
2) TV - they were hoping for a TV package for the game, but it didn't materialize. They wanted us to kick in funds from our payout to cover the production costs, and we politely declined.

so....its we get to deal with South Bay midweek travel. I'm going to start charting the commute time from Livermore to the stadium in the afternoon (M-W) to get an idea when i have to get there by 5:00. an hour drive midday. late afternoon? all bets are off.

Just noticed our tree/yard maintenance guy is listed as a supporting company!

you see plenty of SOJ51 signs up and down the highways in Calaveras. Many banners on homes in the area, also

With coverage into Calaveras county, the Hornets will take over the coveted ‘State of Jefferson’ demographic!

I’ll ask around. I haven’t made it up for a practice so no idea if he’s out there

Sam Young is shown as offensive consultant but not Foster

I know the department was less than thrilled with this start time, but nothing they can do

That 4:00 kickoff is gonna be a tough one. First game for students and they get the afternoon sun beating on them
