If Florida State can’t get out, Stanford and Cal won’t be able to, either.

Teresa Gould was announced as the next commissioner of the PAC 12 on February 19th.

Given our shared history, and the status of that conference, we should have had an athletics forward planning task force set up on February 20th.

Narrator: we won’t.

We went to a game at Neyland a few months after we moved out here, sang Rocky Top about 39 times as they put a 60-burger on Mizzou, it was great.

Breaking news: Davis has more than students and a larger endowment (by far) than any current or future Pac 12 member.

I love telling people out here my school is a “sister school” to Cal. LOVE IT.

The chancellor needs to be out front on this, and Rocko needs to be doing more than tweet photoshopped renderings with no context. Are we still basking in the inconsequential glow that that the mayor’s state of the city address was at Aggie Square?

Bring back the bonfire.

Oops, wrong thread.

The “official” capacity is based on seats, so if the seats are relatively full and the berms are hopping, there ya go. Fire marshal capacity is more based on the ability for the crowd to safely exit the facility, so all of the gates and wide concourse assists with that number.

If UNLV goes, I’d be cool with a trip to Laramie and Colorado Springs, but do any of those schools move the needle sufficiently more than the Big Sky foes? Schedule one every year or two but I don’t feel the need to see them every season.

Utah State? Memphis? Tulane? South Florida?

Make it make sense.

Watched the first half on the multicast with the ESPN app - pretty clear it was under control, but, wow, we need to push pause on the whole “Shredville” thing.

Are we ready to ditch “The Davis Way”? Because that is what it will take, and full buy-in from the very top, with the wherewithal to fight the academic types.

“I use the analogy that athletics are the front porch of the university. If someone has never heard of UC Davis, they might see one of our teams playing — they might be on television … they might want to learn more about the university and it might cause interest among respective students.

Well, Chancellor, if that’s the case…..

I appreciate Rocko’s enthusiasm, but let’s see what the stadium looks like on November 2nd against Northern Colorado…..

Any official news release on that Mobile game? I swore the only reason I would get to the Gulf in Alabama was the beach….

Hey! It takes a wild Pac-12 rumor to get me to pop in, I guess…. (shrug)

Having moved 2/3 across the country and within the SEC footprint, let me tell you, only an infinitesimal percentage of people aside from those from California know about UC Davis.

How do you change that? Major college athletics.

PAC 12 after dark is a gateway drug to recognition.

A Labor Day weekend trip next year to Vegas? Yes please.

Well that whittles it down. There are others out there but the ones above seemed intriguing.

For those who were wondering, NO, San Diego does not have an open date on 9/4/21 :lol:

Per FCS Schedules, the following schools of reasonable interest have openings on 9/4/21:

SFA
Lamar

Wofford

Jacksonville State

Delaware
UNH
Rhode Island
Richmond
Stony Brook
Villanova

The Ivies

You wouldn’t have missed much in the 1st half.....
