$5.6M gift for the USD football program???

I don't know. My cousin's son who joined me Saturday for the football/basketball double header responded with, "That's not bad at all. I've never been to South Dakota." Ah, the days of being 22 with no wife, kids, mortgage, etc. ;-)

@69aggie We'll be watching the game at my parents' house while my mom and daughter bake a bunch of Christmas cookies. I'm sure you'd be welcome to swing by.

So... tempting...

Hoo boy, this is slightly tempting, but still not gonna do it. The locks might be changed when I get home. No hotel needed!

Edit - Never mind. That departure is local time 5:15, and the game starts at 2. Phew, now I don't even have to consider it. Although, there is a 6AM flight Sunday morning, that would have me back home by 10AM...

But the MW only has womens soccer, right, no mens?

do they stay in the Big West?

Espn+ has got to be the cheapest streaming service and you get almost all of the Davis sports. With our kids Disney+, it's only an extra $1/mo.

Agreed. It's 1.5-2 hours to get up to Davis, and usually not practical to drag kids or convince my wife to let me take off for the entire day. But living in San Mateo, I try to make it when they play football or basketball against Cal/Stanford/USF. SJSU adds one more convenient option.

It surprises me that this wasn't announced before a double header weekend with one of those events being such a big playoff game. I high fived May at least twice Saturday, and he made no mention of this to me!

Did we start 13 on offense and 4 on defense? Maybe that's why ISU scored so quickly.

Work, family, prepping for family visiting for Christmas. The list goes on and on. My boss also went to Davis, and I've gone to more games this year than he did his entire time in college. So, trying to get him to pay for me to go to a football game in South Dakota isn't high on his list of priorities.

I started working in the food industry 5 years ago to the day, and I've been using my o-chem book here and there. We have several new customers in South Dakota. My boss does not seem to feel as strongly as I do that those customers need a site visit this Friday or next Monday.

People always ask (and question) why I love Davis sports so much. The fact that somehow in a discussion about an upcoming game, we're off the rails in physical chemistry sums up why I'm a passionate alum.

Maybe we were spoiled with the people that led the Aggie Pack in the late 90s. There was so much energy and a whole team of goofballs leading cheers and going nuts.

This doesn't make any sense to me. I can remember tube sock madness, free burritos, free pizza, etc. None of these gimmicks could have cost more than $50, and the burritos and pizza were probably free and marketing by Woodstocks and wherever the burritos came from.

I feel like it's more about not having something like the Aggie Pack. I'm sure different decades have had different iterations of stufent-lead spirit groups. But that doesn't seem to exist today.

Awesome! Thanks for setting up the tailgate yesterday. It was nice meeting you guys and putting faces to the names.

I sat in every section today, and had a blast!

Let's win today first. Go Ags!

And he's headed to Stanford.
