Our depth at WR helped when Hutton was hurt, but one promising non-playing WR hit the portal.

We saw what happened when we relied on one RB, and he got hurt.

LOL. At least do it on the DL.

No foresight.

AggieFinn - we have the bookstore, downtown, and online. I don't see people driving to UC Health Stadium to buy a polo.

Actually, some use two QBs.

What was this PAM incident?

We've evolved into a program where one QB dominates the reps, but that's not condusive to roster development. These were a few late-night stats I dug up, the math could be off.

2024 - MH throws 98.5% of QB pass attempts
2023 - MH throws 97% of QB pass attempts
2019 - JM throws 97.5% of QB pass attempts
2018 - JM throws 97% of QB pass attempts

This season we had blowouts of 46 points (Cal Poly), 52 (Northern CO), and 32 (Illinois State), and in those games our reserve QBs threw a total of 7 passes. In our opener last year, one of our few blowouts, a reserve threw 2 passes.

I understand we want a high ranking and LL to be drafted, but we also need to consider the future. Let the subs close out the second quarter, and play the whole 4th stanza in non-competitive games. Let them sling it. A monopoly isn't competition.

We now head into 2025 with four green QBs. They haven't been tested or had to overcome adversity.

$50M / 10 years = $5M a year pledge.

Maybe they want to add a dog fighting program w MMA fighting?

Couldn't the Lord have waited a year?

Sr. Grant Harper
RSo. David Rasor

RFr. Damon Wrighster
RFr. Caden Pinnick

Harper and Rasor saw the field, though that was minimal.

From my understanding of our new recruits, one is going on a Mormon mission, a second was recruited as an 'athlete', and Eason had minimal reps his senior year (injury?). So it's a longshot any true freshman starts. The guy is likely somebody on the current roster, or a transfer. They all appear mobile, and Wrighster is 6'3".

How about a DE stud.

Are we looking for an experienced QB?

There's also the bew pirate bar, haven't been.

Something like The Grad / Mr. Bs. How is the Mr. Bs new replacement going?... Basics, clean, all ages, and Sunday breakfast seems like a winner. Sudwerk too far out, and have heard mixed reviews about the not-warm interior. Dancing Fri / Sat?

It would make sense to combine the two, if the schedules mesh.

Then that opens up land on the Sac State campus for a new track, arena, parking garage (if needed), etc.

We haven't had a strong pass rusher in years. It seems we get our sacks from delayed blitzes and deception.

We're a lot closer than Toomey, which had the dirt track. And we now have 6-8x the marketing staff, but don't give away free playoff tickets.

I think it's a stretch adding more than 5,000 seats, esp since attendance is no longer a factor. How about add a 5,000-seat grandstand above the visitors side, concessions, bathrooms, and maybe some club boxes? Then we seat 15,000, 20,000 w endzone and general admission. Add some simple amenities... like benches near concessions, and when entering the facility for seasoned Aggies. A few trees (not 4' tall shrubs that will soon die). A grad student produced an excellent study on possible additions to the stadium. Its also kind of weird to see the concessions staff dumping ice onto the pavement near a drain, as if they don't have adequate sinks for that purpose... or at least water nearby plants.

Closing in an endzone is less expensive than going up, but removes a cozy area for young families. If we saved them, we could add in old seat planks from Toomey (less splinters).

Sacs problem previously included a lack of large private businesses in the area - my impression was that it was government, and agriculture. So the ability to tap large companies in the 60s, 70s, 80s was tougher.

Tough times. Stanford had a weak O line, several are now in the portal along w two QBs. One service ranked their recruiting class #48? And Cal lost Mendoza.

Building a new arena, football stadium, related facilities needs, NIL and 50+ new scholarships is a HUGE undertaking. Plus $5M buy in.

He can go to Stanford, likely make more money, and help TT try to salvage his turnaround. What does he have, 2 more years to make it work?

Bring your own bota bag. <wink>
