the whole 'Athletic area' of Davis has so much potential. The football stadium is a nice facility that stands out. The proposed upgrades to the basketball arena will make that a really special spot. Add, the updates to baseball/soccer and softball, and its really neat to have an on-campus sports area. If we can get a Grad replacement in the updated shopping area that would be a cool spot for Aggie fans.

We just have to find more Aggie fans from the region!

I was disappointed for the players and coaches after last night, but very optimistic about our future. I just wish we had a couple more healthy guys on defense last night. I think we can see that we’re on par with the upper tier of FCS and on the doorstep of elite programs.

After some long discussions with my family. I’d like to announce I WILL be back as a season ticket holder next year and beyond.

Go Ags

it was a big turnabout especially when they hit us on a 93-yard TD. Huge swing

that’s how I understand it. I suspect there’s some of that going on in Sac (FBS uncertainty, schedule issues). Best decision Dan could make, by the way.

hopefully you didn’t use the bathroom behind 123 - no lights! Urinal use by ear!!

I was thinking on the drive home that I don’t recall us ever substituting defensive groups during the game. Same approach whether it was 1st and 10, 3rd and 1 or 3rd and 15 - Coombs had I choice except keep the remaining healthy guys out there and play a pretty vanilla scheme. Losing Pysk, along with Sam’s limitations, was too much. That being said, take away that damned kickoff and convert in the red zone, and that puts a bit more pressure on QB.

Great season. Great group of players and coaches.

This has a real Gould like feel. Big groundswell for a successful coach with ties to the program (Hawkins in our case) bypassed for a position coach with a reputation for recruiting. That move turned over football alum for a long time here.

agree. He looked really solid the first few games but seems to be a bit reserved on offense lately. Sometimes these guys just need an easy basket to get some confidence and get back in a groove.

13.5 point underdogs. Don’t think I’ll follow much past halftime since WIFI is so bad in Aggie Stadium

I remember Flushman saying something about getting a travel allowance from the NCAA - they probably require at least thd cheerleaders to travel.

‘ Heisman Trophy favorite Fernando Mendoza was a redshirt freshman and Cal’s third-string quarterback at the start of the 2023 season when he walked into the office of tight ends coach Tim Plough.

“Would you be willing to meet with me?” Mendoza asked. “Would you be willing to teach me the offense and talk to me about quarterback play, go through the game plan with me?”

Mendoza knew that Plough had spent virtually the entirety of his career as an offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach.


“He has this insatiable desire to be a great player. And when you’re the third-string guy, you’re not getting a lot of one-on-one time with the quarterback coach or the OC,” Plough said this week. “So he was kind of looking for some guidance, some mentorship.”

Thus began what tutor and pupil labeled the Midnight Meetings. For the rest of the season, Mendoza arrived at Plough’s office nightly at 9 p.m. and the two spent as many as three hours watching film, talking fundamentals and mechanics of the position and studying that week’s game plan.

Even though Mendoza had no shot yet at getting onto the field.’

I like weather underground; unfortunately they show 46 with 92% humidity. AgAlum checks an aviation site that he trusts - they to agree with WU.

I suggested we wear all gray today - camouflage!

he can get to the hoop and that’s something we could really use

that nickname was one of the funnier things i've read in a long time!

I’m hoping we see Daugherty soon. He’d be a big boast

I found no joy from this post!

i have zero inside information. the only time i hear about injuries is when we have an alumni zoom or lunch with the coach and i tend to keep that information to myself. My gut says Psyk will go after a week of rehab.

I’m hoping that’s the case!

Big key tomorrow will be our running game. Fisher had a couple chunk plays (including the TD) and we were pretty solid on first down getting 3-4 yards. Acea has been a big boost there!

Other (obvious) key is turnovers. I don’t think we can count on 5 INTs, but a couple takeaways and none from us would be important.

Will we see Vargas? Would be a huge boost in the red zone if mostly healthy!

Dress in layers? Check
Bring the cowbell? Check?
Cheer in a historic victory? CHECK

My weather underground shows 46 and dense fog tomorrow. Guess I’ll be dressed the same as last Saturday. What happened to the ‘end of the week warmup’ the National Weather Service predicted!

121-123 looks pretty well sold (especially our area in 123), but 124 and 120 have a ton of open seats, and 119 is practically empty!

he’s having quite an impact!
