@DrMike, it was Brewfest, we have the Hawk, and it was fairly miraculous. I like the Hawktobertest miracle.

I guess "Wide Right" is already taken by Florida State...

slo has the ocean; so not exactly

Well, there’s a little mud.

I'd never throw mud at Cal Poly, particularly after our forgotten years during the Gould era. Both schools tend to attract very similar students. Poly was always my favorite rivalry game when I played - good hard fought games, with mutual respect. Sac State on the other hand... jerk players and a weird student body. I'm sure you'll be back very soon.

@Kerberos well said; totally agree with your post.

No kidding - I read the title and thought the party was over! Please change title to “Aggies VISIT prison.” Some of our members are elderly - don’t want to cause any cardiac issues.

Great to see student section (relatively) full until the end. A gut check win like that might convince students to keep coming back.

Aggie Pride is back!

@69aggie I totally agree. Those threads make me sad, actually. I had beeen looking forward to several years of Sac and UCD both being competitive. Sounds like there are real problems over there.

@zytheCorrection - the final score was bad, but that was not a bad game. Building a 49-10 lead with 9 minutes to go is good. We let them get too close in the end, but that was a good game.

It's not great to be featured on Bad Beats, but I am really not bothered at all. I would prefer to have a coach who gives his reserves an opportunity for significant game time and calls off the dogs when we are up 49-10, rather than keep the first team in and run the score up to 70-10. A lot of coaches in the Big Sky do that. Hawkins put the first team back in when it started getting too close for comfort. We're good.

@DrMike, I think the only conference that makes sense for the Ags is MWC (imagine annual regional rivalries with Fresno and Reno). But when I say "makes sense" I acknowledge the incredible amount of money, competitive success, and fan support it would require to move up. We are 3 wins out of 4 games into this season, so I grant that some of us and Bob Dunning are getting ahead of ourselves. It's just been so long since I've been this optimistic about the program that I am allowing myself to get carried away.

I think the most realistic path to moving up is (a) UCD goes on an extreme (read NDSU/EWU) run of success with Hawkins over the next 3-5 years, garnering fan/administrative support and media attention; and (b) an existing member of one of the conferences drops out or is booted (read SJSU). That's our route in, and it's not entirely unlikely. But moving up is several steps away (though it is fun to dream big).

PS I think getting into the PAC (whatever number) would require demonstrated success in another FBS conference for many years. Even then, what would be their incentive to add us?

Forget 2014. How about 2005 (mid-transition to FCS)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nnY_ksDxh8

First, I love the reversion to the old CA logo that used to be on the baseball caps.

Second, @DrMike, according to this site http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=401012747, we have a 1.2% chance. That's better odds than Lloyd Christmas had with Mary Swanson.

This is a huge loss in many ways. Jason was one of the older players when I arrived in camp, and he was one of the most athletic and intense players I've ever been around. I even had my shoulder separated by Jason while on the scout team - he could bring the wood. His business successes were truly astounding and I enjoyed keeping up on him. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

This article is unkind https://www.rgj.com/story/sports/college/nevada/2018/08/31/1-000-words-mountain-west-needs-do-something-san-jose-state/1158736002/

I hope SJSU can turn it around and prove the author wrong. Would love UCD (not UTSA as the author suggests) to get a shot at SJSU's spot in the MWC is it comes available, but we're a few years (and many $$'s as @OldAggie points out) away from being ready. Would hate o miss the timing.

The guys over at Hero Sports are high on the Ags... https://herosports.com/fcs/football-uc-davis-defeats-san-jose-state-bzbz

Okay. Enough dancing in the endzone. Time to focus on USD. That has trap game written all over it - a playoff team last year.

Pac12 is a nice long-term dream, but MWC would be excellent for a while. Imagine regional rivalries with Fresno St. and UNR. Could finally get the greater Sac area to support the Ags. I have to think a guy like Blue has a plan around this.
