  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    when we were walking out long after the game (got talking to friends, so we were literally last fans in the building) Rocco was talking to 2 Sac AD folk, explaining where the expansion was going. I congratulated him and said ‘second win over a Pac12 team in our history!’ Sac folk didn’t look amused.

    just look at James Madison. They had a long rivalry with William and Mary for 40+ years that died when JMU moved up.

    there is NO WAY IN THE WORLD the Big Sky rolls the welcome mat back out for the Hornets! For non-football, the Big West is a better fit for them.......its just that pesky football issue that makes this less than ideal.

    since you are engaged in their ‘it’s their fault there’s no more Causeway’, can you ask for an example of a FCS-FBS rivalry that we can model the causeway on?

    It’s true that they tried to buy out Stetson and pay in Davis, but Stetson is coming for cheap and it’s a ‘should win’ game. After a OOC featuring a FBS Bowl team, a top10 team across the continent and 2 (soon to be) BSC teams, I think we’re leaning toward softer OOC next year.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Did I miss the November MAC football-only announcement that we were promised?

    if they were to bring in a 7-5 team, I think they’d grab NAU, although they don’t deserve it either. When one of your 7 is due to an admitted referee meltdown, the resume is shaky!

    The Harvard loss are up an at-large (I think), so the competition for final spots is going to be tight.

    Honestly. I thought the Big Sky was down this year - 3 teams might be what is deserved.

    SF wrote a very detailed post about why we aren’t interested in scheduled a second or underpriced FBS game, and the comeback is ‘d^ck attitude’. Gotta love it

    they’ve been on the west coast since playing Stanford last Tuesday.

    So Yale gets the auto bid and Harvard probably gets in also? That shakes up the brackets
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    l think if Sac had the ability to get outside and out of bounds, they probably win. They had to burn timeouts and they seemed to be rushed at the end. Note to coach - the forward pass can be effective in getting the ball out to the outside.

    Acia was a very unsung hero in Vargas’ absence (an NFL talent). Had some quality runs the past few weeks and gave Fisher some much needed rest. He got tossed in the fire and thrived!
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    Before today I watched ZERO minutes of hornet football, but i heard alot about this innovative’GO-GO’ offense…..and we get a power run game out of the 40’s! 17 yards of passing? I don’t recall any wrinkle in the run game - just power between the tackles.

    We’re so lucky we didn’t have to deal with injuries like them!

    Idaho State deserves it before NAU or Sac. Brutal schedule and finished strong.

    this email is for season ticket holders only. They’ll release tickets to general soon. Not sure how student tickets work
  • 71st Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State
    the answer is yes. My season tickets have increased significantly over the past 5 years and I believe that they are using dynamic pricing to pump up the price for certain games like today.

    In 2022, Team Aggie cost $225 for 5 games; $300 this year.

    I really think they’re length and quick, coupled with the altitude, let them pull away. I was looking at the play by play, and their big guy went out at 10:40 with foul trouble - Niko’s free throws got it to 60-59 us. We got a stop and 3 pointer to push it to 63-59 with a little less than 10 to go. That’s when they took off. We had no answer for Bak on either end - his passing from inside out really got us out of sync.

    I think Stokes’ early foul trouble shortened the bench which may have led to some fatigue. But, in that last 10 minutes, we often had Wilson, Sevilla and Fagbemi out there vs their really long team. Wore us down on both ends.

    Good effort, especially digging out of scary 10-0 hole. We’re gonna need someone like Stokes to step up (Rawlins doesn’t seem strong enough at this point), along with some big man support ( Noudjihidi?) for Niko. And to continue to beat that dead horse, Daugherty brings length that we are lacking.

    Good effort - tough 3-4 minute stretch that let them pull away.

    I like this team.

    I sure hope we see Daugherty soon

    80-71 at the 4:00 break. Seemed like the game changed when their big guy went out with foul trouble - they got more athletic and longer and that really bogged down our offense. Bring the big guy back!
  • MBB: UC Davis (3-1) at Colorado (4-0), Friday Nov. 21, 6 pm
    67-63 them at the 8:00 break. We haven’t hit a FG in 4 minutes - their length is causing us to rush things on offense. Let’s see what Les draws up out of the break.

    I’m only negative about this repeating Big Shack commercial. Thank god got mute
