  • Let's Get Ready To RUMMMMMBLE!
    If their run defense is that bad, I think Tehran will be all over them. That will leave the WR's open for Meier. That could lead to an Aggies blow out, if the Ags can play a little D. The Spartans haven't decided on their QB yet. So, I would think they are going to try and run the ball on the Ags. That may be their best choice.
    Tehran looks like a monster each time he has carried the ball. A sprinter at 230lbs is a load. If Tehran starts the Sac state game last year- the Ags win easily. Sac State was lucky the clock worked in their favor the second half. And his 90 yard catch and run was called back because of a push in the back.. Which wasn't even necessary part of the play for him to score.
  • Aggies add Lehigh to 2019 schedule!
    I believe they moved to D1 not long after we played that game, and we were still D2 for many years.
    That was a good reason for them not to play us. They could have lost a a game or two when we had O'Brien.
  • Bee article on Doss
    This is whi newspapers are failing. They no longer employ writers. They buy articles writeen by other publisher's and print them in their own papers. Then the people who buy papers are reading national news and there is very little local news. Hence, local papers are dying. If a newspaper wants to survive they need writers for local news. The editors want to make more money, and they use to find buying articles was less expensive than employing writers, so they gradually phased them out in hopes of continuing to get consumers, using a continuing methods that eliminated local news. It has now come back to bite them in the a**. A quality local paper would survive, but they have become non existent.

    Maybe the run game will improve with Thomas. After seeing him in the Sac game it looks like he could definitely make the offense much better than last year. Not only fast, but he ran through and over people for extra yards.

    Actually if you have a 3 point lead you may as well foul give them two shots and you get the ball especially with only 10 seconds left

    Dr. Mike, The ball rotation on Mooney's shots are a lot like mine, and I was a great shooter. The back spin rotation is deceiving because of the ball seams. The ball is actually spinning almost directly vertical to the basket. When I see this, I know the trajectory to the basket is pretty much right in line with the target. The only question is, is it too hard or too soft or just right. A shooter is usually just right. I use to have nicknames from high school buddies as to my accuracy. Early on they called me gunner, but when they realized they were falling in at about 65-75% that term stopped. And, I had nicknames relating to my accuracy. I usually shot from NBA distance as people wouldn't guard people that far out. When they did come out, I just moved farther out. I remember a pick up game in which we were winning all the time and we ended up playing the varsity team at UCD. They said we were on the court too long. So, they had winners next game. My friend Kelly MacWilliams told Mark Ford he would be guarding me. I sort of look like a physics geek with the black military style glasses (a la Rambis), and Kelly told Mark just stay near him and he won't shoot. Mark told me to take a 25' shot, I did. I came down again, and did it again from about 27' and that was the only 2 baskets we scored lost 21-2. Our tallest player was 6'1" against Dave Bailey, Kelly Mac, Mark Ford, and I forget who the others were. But, we had no one close to their size a total blowout.

    I thought we played the lowest seed, and that would be Cal poly after their upset win?

    Also, the Celtics had 27 all stars in the 80's and yet they won fewer titles than the 60's guys. As Bill Russell once was asked. If the Bulls played the Lakers at each teams prime, who would win. Jordan of course said the Bulls, and Russell of course said the Celtics. And, then Russell said it is because the the teams of the 80's all wanted to show off their stuff on the court. Make a tenacious block and send the ball out of bounds. That was not Celtics ball. Russell said we did it differently. We tapped the ball into the air and then went after it, and score a fast break 2 points. That is a 4 point turnaround- the 2 they didn't get, and the 2 the Celtics did get. The players of the 80's would knock it out of bounds, just to give it back to the opposition. This was show boating , and not a winners mind as he put it.

    Gauchofreg, I am referring to the Celtics of the 60's, where the Lakers had 3 guys you can easily say are definitely all stars- Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, and Wilt Chamberlain who many think is the greatest of all time average over 50 points a game one year and the Celtics won 12 titles in 14 years.. Against the Celtics, who had Bill Russell, and without using the computer to look up former Celtics can you name 3 or even 4 players who are an equal to the three I have mentioned (Lakers players). Most people know 1 at most.

    " They may have the most talented set of starters but can their bench do enough over the three days?"
    Which is what I am implying. You cannot mention the names, but they were winners, because of depth.

    # Santa Barbara has players 2 on first team one on second team, and they didn't win it? Reminds me of the old Celtics and Lakers. Lakers had most the stars, but the Celtics always seemed to win. It is definitely a team game.

    Well, Tehran out ran the Sac State DB's after his 80 yard run that was called back. It sure looks like he has speed to go with the brawn.
  • UC Davis Dream Team Debate
    There was a shooting forward during D2 days who was pretty remarkable named Mark Olson. Nice shot and could consistently shoot over other players.
  • Nice article on Ron Gould
    Tehran Thomas was a Gould product I believe.
    He could be quite the RB. Did you see the Sac game, where he took a lateral or pass in the backfield, and went 90 yards out running the Sac DBs? And, then later, he runs over guys and gets extra yards. Also, after he went 90 yards outrunning the DBs, the Sac announcers say something like he is a big bruising back without exceptional speed. Umm, was he watching the game?
  • ESPN: Doss invited to TX as Finalist for W. Payton Award
    Good Luck tomorrow Kellan. I looked at the other WR's to receive the award, and you are right there with them. Many QBs this year had stats that would make them considered for the award, but you were far and beyond the best receiver in all of the NCAA.
    Regardless of the outcome, we Aggies know what a great teammate and performer you have been this year. We Aggies, wish you the best, but also hope to see you in an Aggie uniform for one more great year,

    Yes, River Aggie. That is the guy I was thinking about.
  • Keelan Doss Named a Walter Camp All-American
    Tehran Thomas appears to be a stud RB. Have you watched this guy play? He reminds me of a RB who played for the Oilers in their Heyday. I cannot remember his name, but he was a load.

  • Doss finalist for Walter Payton award
    Yeah, but when a QB puts up 40+ points he should win! That is the fault of the defense. So, a win is a team victory. But, offense by itself is all a QB can control. Dan Marino never won a Superbowl, but he was definitely one of the best QB's of all times when it came to passing.
  • Doss finalist for Walter Payton award
    Well, I believe you can pretty much eliminate most the of QBs, because I seriously doubt there were 12 better than Maier. And, there were NO WRs better than Doss.
