and include an option to automatically purchase any home playoff tickets, should we be so blessed.

they’ll certainly be looking for some revenge after pooping the bed in front of a home crowd. Gotta stay above any antics.

How was the Band-uh? They didn’t get much TV time, but the flash I got looked like Mav’rik not full dress. I would hope that with the support the fans rallied, they made a good showing.

He’s been walking on the sideline so we’ll see

You know any cash customer can go to the DC, don’t have to be a student. Saturday’s lunch menu includes tofu in black bean sauce, Mexican rice, sautéed spinach, curried lentils, piñata beef, and breakfast pizza, if you’re interested... Or you could go to Woodstock’s.

IIRC, one of my trips to EWU their band was a no-show and we had to play the national anthem on their behalf. They hadn’t asked ahead of time, we found out as the announcer was saying it. Good thing we know that one!

I wore the old uniforms, which were also wool. When it was hot you were hot, when it was cold, you were cold. Long underwear a good call for sure.

Longest bus trip I did was to Conway, AR straight through. Wouldn’t have traded it for anything.

In 2005, the football team’s charter plane to Fargo fell through the week of the game, so the Band handed over their commercial flight tickets, sent the manager to rent whatever cars they could get at the south davis Enterprise and put a note on the band table in the coffee house that basically said get to the band room we’re driving. Nobody told the bureacrats and risk management had a coronary when they found out.

my experience with brass instruments is its harder to play high notes and playing fast is more difficult (frozen fingers). For sure temperature affects tuning the instrument so it’s all about keeping the horn warmed up by blowing air through it and constantly adjusting tuning slides. Keeping mouthpiece inside jacket chest pocket helps too. Valve oil is basically kerosene, so I didn’t have a problem gumming up too bad. The Band used to play up at Tahoe ski resorts (skiing down the mountain while playing). If it’s a wet game, brass instruments are ok but you need to keep woodwinds dry-ish

Looking forward to a bold, blue, and bitchin’ Band-uh showing EWU what’s up. I’m loving this hot streak of Aggie Pride. And glad it had brought some first-time posters to the board. Go Ags!

Hawkins is 58. Who knows how long he plans stay at it, but UC has a pretty cushy retirement package.

Kevin Blue is 30-something. I bet somebody takes notice of him.

Yeah I don’t think Best was running reps. He was running the score up because of perceived sleights in previous playoffs. One might think he’d pull his golden boy when the fate of the game was sealed just as injury prevention since he thinks he’s going to Texas. As for Barriere, must give credit as a talented athlete. Celebrating big plays is part of football, but the young man grabs his crotch more than Michael Jackson. He’s either in need of a little more humility or a lot more Lamisil ointment. Demenour reminds me of Sac State if they were good. A wise person once told me to mind the karma you sow into the world because it will come back to you. Might not be next week, but the football gods will find you.

2005 at EWU. Fog rolled in so thick visibility was maybe 30’. Nobody had any idea what was happening on the field. The kind of wet cold that bites to the bone.

good times I’m sure. I spent the night in one of those MCIs when it dumped its alternator near BFE, Oklahoma en route to Conway, Arkansas. I don’t think Fleet lets students drive long distance anymore and I heard they were out of the coach business altogether and it was all outsourced.

It’s not a bad drive really from Davis. A lot of open road up through eastern Oregon. I definitely did it in a Ford Econoline van for the fog game.

I was in town for a game a year or two ago and I was on my feet cheering the whole game. Nothing obtuse but apparently too animated for section 120 because I had Aggie hosts follow me like white on rice, even to the restroom. Can’t imagine a cow bell would have lasted long if yelling “watch the game, ref!” got me on the watch list.

There was something special about the north end zone for sure. Interesting write up on AP history on DavisWiki. Anybody remember Aggie Fanatics, the fan club for general public? I still have some of the shirts. You could earn Aggie Bucks for checking in at games and trade them in for free swag.

I always want to beat Sac State, but I do hope they can become successful as well. I think it’s good for all of us if all three CA Big Sky teams can manage to be relevant at the same time. Improves local interest and maybe squeezes the flow of talented recruits heading north. I was privately concerned how much longer their program could stay viable with so many player and fan defections, but hopefully they can get the cart on the rails.

If Nicholls were to win, where would the next round be played? At Nicholls or at the winner of UCD/UNI?
