I get what you are saying, but the VAST majority of students who are at UCD aren't from Davis and I would say most in the stands don't live in Davis.

We have to sell the team and the game day experience. Reach out to the Greek system, club teams, clubs, and then go beyond Davis. Does the football team send players to area elementary/middle schools to read or participate in PE/classroom activities? Do we market to groups in Yolo/Sac/Placer/El Dorado/Stanislaus counties? What about the Bay Area? We should.

We're recruiting players from those areas so there should be some sort of fan interest.

Yes, high school students have a lot of options, but if you have a team that competes the students show up. Kids want to be a part of the student section, you just have to make it interesting and tell them 7368628362 times there is a (home/away) game on (insert day of the week here) at (insert time here).

EDIT: Look at the influx of corporate dollars into the program. There are companies that have parted way with their money to buy ad space at Aggie Stadium. We have sold companies that spending their money at Aggie Stadium is a good idea, now it's time to sell the general public/students to do the same thing.

MAYBE 1% of the student body showed up and I would say that is generous.

Is there any marketing to students other than signs on campus?

Everything else has vastly improved regarding the game day experience. Now it's time to win and get butts in the seats. Not sure which will happen first...

Great season.

It's hard because once Hawkins was hired our expectations went through the roof. There has been a lot of improvement in year one and some weaknesses that will most likely be addressed this offseason. One game left and it's a big one that scares the daylights out of me.

Good to hear!

Yep. All to pursue Vol Nation's dream candidate...Jon Gruden.

Tennessee had announced a $100 million three phase upgrade to Neyland that would be done by the 2021 season but recently announced it would be raised to $300 million in two phases.

Good news!

Fits like a glove.

All taken care of. (Y) (Y)

aka D.U.C.T.

Cost of a UC scholarship is higher than any other team in the conference, in-state or out-of-state. That means our budget is higher no matter what!

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands....

*crickets* :-O

SUU would be our signature win...I just don't see it happening even if we win out.

If they can survive the track and field trials they'll be just fine at Causeway.

Slac is now 5-4...when was the last time both schools had a winning record? The sad part is that only 4,612 people were in attendance.

The most impressive thing is that you posted a screen shot! ;)

BIG game next week against SUU. Plus it is the return of former Aggie Demario Warren...

Great day for Aggie athletics!
