I know we’re at USD in 2019. I think the second home game is 2020 but not certain. When they announced cal and Stanford they made a point about only FBS a year. Makes me wonder if San Jose is a late add.

That’s essentially three FBS games and Stanford is a meat grinder. I thought the years of two FBS were done

I was more concerned about him killing me. No jury would convict!

Withstood the run and put it away. Chima struggled with shooting but he’s a rebounding machine. Nice win

I have a lawn sign from the season ticket event that says 'PROUD SUPPORTER OF AGGIE FOOTBALL'. Gold sign you can't miss. I had told my wife BEFORE the game I would put it on my son's lawn if we won. When we got the ball back I said to her 'I can't put that sign up.....too painful'.

sounds like there are some good players redshirting. conversation at the reunion was that the scout team defense had been tearing it up for several weeks, indicating that we'll be better next year. maybe some new plug-in additions will help make us much better. i thought our DB's were better this year in coverage, although susceptible to the big play. that might have dictated our scheme (very few blitzes). most of our DB's are back next year (Culberson will be a loss), which is good. Bua and Weaver were solid, and will be missed. lots of RSFr and So's playing big minutes -> they should be better.

we lose 2 solid OL (Bertero and Sulka) and i'm not sure who is in the pipeline. recruiting OL at this level is really tough. the good guys get grabbed quickly by the big schools.

They don’t seem distracted by that huge Tiger home ‘crowd’. These girls are
really good. Looking forward to a couple of the Saturday doubleheader’s

Gubrud is a junior and Cookus a soph? Damn

PH -> I have never met you, nor have any idea what you look like BUT i could picture the look on your face when we got the ball back with 3 minutes to go, after scoring 26 straight points, with a chance for a win!

I thought it was a longshot for Sac to make the playoffs. Had Montana won, there was absolutely no chance. Since they tied with EWU (and both were 7-4) and lost to them, i figured the Eagles would go first. Committee fooled me with taking neither!

we faced essentially the same Big Sky schedule as Sac, except we had Weber as a conference game, they had it as non-conference. we played San Diego, they played Incarnate Word. We had SD State, they had Idaho. We played the top 5 teams in the conference in our 8 Big Sky games. Granted we got the bottom 2, but Idaho State notched a FBS victory (yeah, Nevada is weak). Hard to call it 'easy'.

Damn smart kids!

Seriously if he were in line to be drafted in the top half of the draft, good for him. First draft pick since O’Sullivan?

I think that was another game. Agalum might remember better. My two sons, an ag and a hornet, and spouses were in our box that day. Sunny day. Pretty sure that was 2012. Monsoon wax 2010

phantom you sound like my sac state grad son. He’s still irate about a triple reverse pass into quadruple cover in 2012 (I think) after an Aggie turnover. Changed the whole momentum of the game. We’ll see this time. We haven’t held our composure very well this year in big games beside EWU

Best case scenario: Maier is HOT, their QB reverts back to his early season struggles and we capitalize on turnovers, running game is decent and we play a clean game to clinch winning record.

Worst case: They hit early big plays, we don’t match and we’re in a Weber-like home.

I’m hosting reception for our latest grandson so won’t be there and won’t be able to follow until second half. Hope I see a nice result when I check!

they hosted a nice dinner at El Macero on Friday for the 1982 team (and guys like me from 81) and guests. that was a good turnout, probably about 70 people all together. Saturday there were probably 30 guys out there at midfield for the coinflip, with another 5-10 guys who finished in 81, or started in 83. program did a really nice job of welcoming people back.

i was following via ESPN and saw us get up by 17 with about 10 to go, and stopped paying attention. next thing i knew it was 4 with a couple minutes to go. looking at the stats i had assumed it was a combo of turnovers and our 3-point shooting cooling down (i think we were 5-6 in the first half). a win is a win, especially over Pacific and especially on the road. the thing that really stood out from the stats was the lack of scoring beyond Chima. Silar had 9 in the 1st half, only 4 in the 2nd. Goode didn't attempt a shot? also, looks like our rotation is about 8 guys...that's playing it pretty thin. we'll need to figure out how to get the others more integrated in the offense.

next up : Utah Valley. always tough. they started with losses to Kentucky and Duke (!), beat Idaho State soundly on the road. that's gonna be a challange.

I thought I got something in the mail a couple weeks back about it. I’m more surprised it’s not on CSN (or whatever it’s called). Can’t remember the last time it wasn’t televised.

At the O’Brien dinner Friday they were showing clips that Fred Arp had VCR’d back then. The sac game and two playoff games were televised on channel 13. There were a bunch of clips from sportscasts hyping the game ( sac was 8-1 we were 9-0; final was 52-7). Things have certainly changed locally

Although i don't own any Weird Al 'albums' (dated ourselves there!), i can say that i saw the Weird One twice in concert with my sons. One time at Cal Expo it was about 110 with maybe 500 souls in the stands, and you would have thought it was playing Madison Square Garden. The guy is a performer!

happened across the Band this morning preparing for the game:

Sac State Special

I remember watching the 2010 on CSN Bay Area. Mark Payne was out and Hardin was coming back from injury. Caligari and Juliian Welch led the Ags. That was a pretty good team talented wise
