Alum connections, your money goes further, South Dakota has lower taxes, but probably the ideal of coaching for a great FCS team at your alma mater won out. He also started as a GA at Sioux Falls so he's connected to SD.

sac is broken and he alone can fix it.

It makes sense to build our near Sierra College. The eastern suburbs have money and a growing population. Plus you can reach some adults who might not want a fully online experience but don't want to commute to J St. We did something similar with West Village on a smaller scale. It is all the more important for CSUs with service areas. It provides a better transfer experience.

I went to Chabot College in Hayward and there was a decent amount of money and programs used to funnel transfer students across town to CSU Easy Bay, about 10-15 minutes away by car or 40 mins by bus. Lots of adults going back to school like the convenience and some courses like science labs are better done in person.

Ags officially announced their schedule today and that they would have night games.

WSU has good TV viewership and has a strong following in Seattle and Spokane.

Oregon State also gives access to Portland.

Sac State actually has a tough schedule in 2025. Some of their recent seasons have been cupcakes like their 12-0 year.

They will all leave the next year.

Does this hurt their chances of moving up soon or no impact?

In 2009 or 2010 in the early spring, there was an event at Aggie Stadium on a quiet Saturday. They had us chanting certain phrases. I recall us chanting "Rondo! Rondo! Rondo!" So it was probably their NBA game. They also allowed us to turn in other college apperal in exchange for leftover Aggie Pack shirts. I think it was the year of the ugly house design but I can't remember.

Agreed. It's my phone. It has the worst autocorrect ever! I fixed it ty.

I like cheering against Sac State but the "state school" chant we go against them and Poly IS stupid because we are a public school and the whole UC vs CSU rivalry is silly.

I assume the Macon, GA location is in case of gulf hurricanes in August?

For all the trash talk, its not unusual to see a Sac undergrad go to Davis for Grad School or vice versa for a masters in education. Know a few people who did either.

My cousin was a Davis grad in 02 or 03 and did Sac for her special Ed program or whatever it was.

One if my dad's closest friends is a Sac grad but is a very proud alum of UC Davis' King Law school.
Another friend a few classes below mine graduated from Davis but works at Sac State for a community outreach program.

The CSU vs UC thing is overblown. We're rivals so deal with it. We laugh at Sac but we don't laugh at Portland State or Northern Colorado.

I still think the Ags beat South Dakota on home or neutral field. That said, it's not how the playoffs work.

I think Montana State wins by 10.

The toilet paper could be all the blueprints for their new stadium lol.

Its obvious that Sac is wanting a flashy guy. Since Mahomes is injured, did he interview too?

I'm starting to doubt Sac's vision if this is the best they can do. McClure wasn't a great coach. In fact Cal had a terrible line under him.

The Pioneer should still get a bid. Without it, maybe a few schools drop football? Either way, it is good to have them as it allows the highest seed playing in the first round to have a pretty easy game. But its not unheard of for the Pioneer to win.

The Ivy doesn't use tiebreaker so I wonder how the winner is chosen. Columbia got a lot of press coverage for winning a share of the title.

No worries. I think it's worth having a thread to discuss. How would it have impacted the 2024 playoffs? Would Colombia be the only one in?

Could you imagine Davis hosting Harvard or Yale? Although it would probably be a Thanksgiving game with low attendance. But very cool..

Good, I'm glad to see the Ivys even if they take a spot or two.
