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

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?
