  • Week 5: North Dakota @ UC Davis
    our section (123) was about 60-70% full. Some faces I haven't seen in awhile. Team Aggie tent was less crowded than I expected

    Quickly scanning back the last five or six years, I see several 1-4, an 0-5, and a couple 2-3 records after 5. Nice to see 3-2 with a relatively healthy team. After EWU it's a bye week and 5 games where we have a good chance at a win. Fun to be a fan

    Great bounce back. Maier and Doss are very good (duh). Offense was very imaginative and really attacked. The d? Ugh. Santiago is very good. His cuts and patience were outstanding. But our angles were so bad, their line beat ours and the second level took bad approaches to the point leading to those huge runs. But we're 3-2 for the first time in years, and we have an offense that is explosive. Fun to be out there. When was the last time we won on the Saturday that students show up? Hope that builds!

    Anybody else attending? Wife and I wil be in our box along with AgAlum and a couple former Aggie teammates. Hoping for a big crowd and a lively Aggie Pack
  • Week 5: North Dakota @ UC Davis
    all the predictions on Any Given Saturday has us winning by 7-14 points. North Dakota folk mostly go with the Hawks, expect for 2 (not counting AgAlum!). I feel pretty good about this game, along the lines of Dunning. Need to come out fast and SCORE TD's (and not wait until 4th down in the redzone to do it).
  • We're Finally Getting A Weekly Coaches Show!
    i thought the show last night was really good. Doug Kelly was the host. Dan played host talking to the Water Polo coach, which was an entertaining segment. Foodball talk was good, especially comments about Weber (echoing the comments in the paper).

    their offense has really struggle (except the Missouri State game), averaging around 250 yards a game. passing game really seems to be having trouble. low completion rate, low yards. i watched a little of their game last week and wasn't very impressed with their QB. gave up 500 or more yards in their losses, with a bunch on the ground. very un-Sioux like. we'll need to figure a way to run, and not be one dimensional. and, NO TURNOVERS or BIG PLAYS!
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    like many of us, my hopes rose faster than a skinny kid on a tetter-totter. I'm trying not to let them drop faster than the chubby kid on the other end! There's going to be growing pains along the way but I think we're on the right path.

    if its concussion-related, i don't think you'll hear any updates.
  • UOP Penalized by NCAA for Violations
    i'm really looking forward to the resumption of the UOP rivalry (especially since they have been struggling a bit!). saturday mens/womens doubleheader will be fun.
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    on the long run, we had 10 guys in the box, and the SS (lone back) pinched in on the run. that lane was wide enough for me (the now me, not the one from 35 years ago) to get through untouched. he's got good speed, so he was off to the endzone. the punt return was ugly. had him trapped on the sideline and bad angles (along with a couple blocks in the back at the 30 and 40) opened up a huge lane. put it behind us
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    I have to say that the Southern Utah trip is still high on my road trip list (2019 is the next time out there i think), because of the National and State parks near Cedar City. And my wife's uncanny slot machine luck may pay for the trip with our one night overnight stay in Vegas!
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    I'm pretty happy with 2-2. A lot of new faces, completely different scheme (especially the run game), good FBS team and three playoff type (maybe PSU was overhyped?) FCS team and our recent years of losing had me fearing an 0-4. We'll compete, but it's gonna be a challenge every week
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    I don't think there was s connection. Long passes were streaks past our CB isolated in man. I didn't see the long run ( all out run blitz exposing the next level?) punt return looked like we had him pinned down and runner made a great run ( and we may have missed a tackle or two) Weber had big plays vs cal so it wasn't too shocking. The fact that they bunched them like they did was a shock.
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    a lot of young guys out there facing their first case of adversity, and we didn't handle it well. it was 10-3 and we punted them into a hole. great place to turn the field position, and be in a place where you can tie it up. 98 yard run? 17-3 and we got a little desperate. still its 17-3 with 4:00 to go in the half, one hold and regroup at the half. 84-yard punt return? yikes. a quick 3-and-out, a 54 yard pass and 17 yard TD pass...31-3. with them getting the 2nd half kickoff. at 17-3 their defense REALLY got aggressive. at 24-3 they were like the '86 bears blitzing poor Tony Eason play after play. Big Sky = Big Plays. that's been the story of the past couple weeks. i think we'll regroup and be okay. i thought if we could get ONE win on this road swing, this team was ahead of schedule. now we need a win on the home stand.

    we'll lead the cheer of 'screw the sioux' for old time sake
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    weird to say if only..... when we lose 41-3 but that was what I was thinking. After the punt return, it was most over. When we couldn't get a point out of first and goal, it was done. We had -48 in sacks so we ran for 61 -> subpar but not totally anemic
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    no great insights. Thought they played well vs Portland. They were able to stick to game plan, toss in some wrinkles like I-formation and wildcat, and used careens and swings to keep defense off balance. Today we put ourselves in such a hole that they took away a lot of our game with tons of pressure. Move forward and learn from it
  • Big Sky 9/23
    Lot of big plays from sac. Looks like they ran the ball well. Surprising result. One of many in the sky!
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    3 huge plays for TD's ?, inability to get a TD after first and goal within the 5, and a bad early INT-> RX for disaster vs a good team. Once it was 17 3 their D pinned back their ears and sent a ton of pressure. Weber is a better team. But not that much better. That long pass and the 98 yard run were killers. Somehow we have to get six points out of those first and goal posessions.
