I'm overall happy with the result - team certainly was not embarrassed, had flashes and apparently few injuries (fingers crossed on Culberson). Looking forward to next week when I can watch live with my own eyeballs rather than through the FB live feed.

Well that escalated quickly! I don't think anyone here wants our secrets leaked and values the element of surprise. I just didn't think the plough comments were keys to the kingdom. I'm sure he got an ass-chewing from Dan since the line was pulled from the DE article. In any case, all of us on the board only want the Ags to get back to our winning ways quickly as possible. Let's have a great game Saturday!

I was just joking buddy. I don't feel like you have the moral dilemma you think you do. Whatever was in the Enterprise and posted here is info I am sure Long and his staff already knew. It's going to be a fun game and I think UCD will keep it close for a while. And maybe if we hand with them long enough it will get into the heads of all those freshmen. Anything's possible in college football, which is what makes it so great. But an FCS school coming off a 3-8 record going against the #25 team with a back SDSU's coach seems to like as much as Pumphrey is a tall order.

Maybe we found Gould's spy!

Exactly @CA Forever. This is reminded me of when Gould blamed "spies" at our practice for us getting crushed a few years ago, and then closing practices to the public. Some paranoia is good, but worrying about this stuff is tin-foil-hat territory.

@CA Forever - I think you wrote essentially what I meant to say. Nothing Plough said gives SDSU any more information than they already had. Hawk is wily and most of his staff have been around the block a few times. I'm sure they will keep SDSU guessing at least for the first few series. I'm pretty sure if we lose to SDSU it won't be because of what was in a Davis Enterprise article or something posted on Aggiesportstalk.com.

I don't think saying that there will be elements of pro style, spread and fly sweep allows anyone to prepare too much. Those are all very different offenses standing alone. Might as well also say there will be elements of triple option and wing-t. Holding back on the 2-deep is more controlling in the info-wars. Personnel can help you guess better at scheme, I would think.

I'll settle for a winning record as the goal for now.

These were great articles that have lowered my productivity today. I love Hawk's "for now" comment on the BSC. Too early to start the "UCD to the MWC" thread? ;)

I think Sierra Nevada has a little more dough to throw around - that would be a terrific partnership if someone could make it happen.

We are definitely going to rely on the element of surprise and old fashioned trickeration. Hopefully that coupled with SDSU likely underestimating our guys keeps us close beyond halftime.

PSU's secondary shut BYU's receivers down for a majority of that game. Very impressive.

Colgates QB sounds like a capo in the Gambino family. Their defense is stuffing polys option - like they see it every week or something.

Ride high over that safety school Slostang!

I want to clarify that I do not believe we are going to get taken to the woodshed (just mentioned it would be a bummer if we did whilst live-streaming on FB to a new audience). I think those days are behind us - Hawk will do a much better job gameplanning and getting the guys in the right mental state of mind. Plus SDSU has had all of the illnesses and they have zero footage on our new offense and defense. So I'm telling you there's a chance. I think it'll be close at least for the first quarter.

I am quick to praise Kevin, but in any case a lot of people who have no affiliation with UCD or SDSU will see some portion of the game just because of the novelty. That's not bad (unless they see us getting taken to the woodshed).

I think the FB live stream announcement is actually huge news. From what I've read that's the future for sports broadcasting, and we're on the leading edge. Another good move by our young creative AD.

Great video - I saw Dr. Blue at the Spring Game and evidently, our new chancellor is very supportive of athletics and understands its importance for the overall university's mission. I think things are going to snowball here, folks, I really do. But Hawkins' comments re facilities spread all over campus making it difficult to run a program are spot on - lots of $$ needed to get us where we need to go. No surprise there. Time to get corporate sponsorship and alumni dollars flowing.

This is such a big deal for our University, and I am so grateful that it has occurred int he Dr. Blue era. The department website, social media, videos taken and posted have all made it appear that we have a division I sports program.

I'm old and as a result, prefer the old-fashioned look, but I understand several alternative uniform options is actually important to "kids these days." If they win 6+ games each year, they can wear whatever they want.
