Thank for choosing the helmet rule over bossy cow cow!

the rest of us referred to his techniques as ‘Shade Drills’! Very sad to hear this yesterday. I spent quite a bit of time talking current and past Aggie football with Fred over the past years. Special guy.

August 1

actually OJ was a member of the USC track team. Holds a world record as a member of 440-yard relay team (no longer contested). Ran a 10.3 100 meter. But I know what you’re saying, quickness and speed over 20-yards is a key for a back

uh....wow.

its a 2-hour drive from Davis (on a good day). you guys will be up early to get there for a brunch-tailgate. about an hour from my house. i wonder when kickoff for the San Jose State game will be.

Sounds like Bloody Mary tailgate

it was the UNC game that i was mistakenly thinking of:

" Denham worked UC Davis down the field, running for five yards and completing three of four passes, the last of which was an eight-yard connection to Grant on an out route inbounds at the 33-yard line.

After a spiked pass to stop the clock, the Aggies’ field goal unit took the field with 8.9 seconds remaining, and Sean Kelley lined up for a career-long 50-yard try.

“To be perfectly honest, that was going to be a heck of a kick for Sean Kelley,” Biggs said. “There was a tailwind and I thought, ‘If we’re going to finish, we’re going to let Sean finish.'”

A false start penalty changed that, as the would-be 55-yard attempt would have been too far out of the redshirt freshman’s range.

The offense retook the field, and after an incomplete pass to the middle of the field, Denham found a vaulting Grant in the end zone for the win."

Finn's memory is better than mine:

17-10 loss, with interception in the endzone. i think i might be thinking of the Northern Colorado miracle game finish. weren't we scrambling at the end to get into field goal range, and had a penalty that forced us out of a long FG into the hail mary? i can still see us running out for a desparation field goal, confusion, penalty flags, then elation!

I thought we went for a LONG field goal that fell way short?

Last 7:00 start I recall was Montana. Later start for roots tv broadcast. That’s when the lights went off at 10:00 ( someone forgot to turn off the automatic timer) during our potential game tying last minute drive. I can still picture the Aggie Pack moving in mass to the southern end of the bleachers when the lights came on in order to get a better view

Fall quarter begins the week of Sept 24,2018 so hotels on September 22 will be at a premium. I booked in Dixon for that night.

better book some hotel rooms for those nights! 10:30 finish time!

i didn't think you could announce walk-ons officially. might be getting a ton of academic/financial aid, so we're getting him for almost free.

on one of the BWC broadcasts, they mentioned he had been dealing with an illness. he missed a handful of games, came back for a couple, then missed a handful down the stretch. still seems to be part of the program.

He does have 5 to play 4 BUT he used up one as a redshirt, and next year as a transfer. So he’s left with the three. Any transfer loses a year of eligibility

We split track (men win for first time in awhile) to clinch another cup

junior day is tomorrow. First time I believe we’re doing it. Gives recruits and kids who want to be recruited a change to meet the staff, tour campus and facilities, meet with academic reps. NCAA is now allowing alum to talk to recruits and parents as long as its on campus. That will be part of it also

Saturday is ‘Junior Day’. Something new. I guess they bring in potential recruits and kids who want to be recruited, introduce them to staff and players, tour facilities, meet with academic folk, and alum (NCAA now allows this on campus). Be interesting to see the turnout
