I'll do my best! Vantage point will be from the north endzone (still chasing rugrats)

These are terrific improvements. Other than the scoreboard I don't imagine these cost a ton of money - just implementation of good ideas by a group that has experience at the higher level of collegiate athletics. All signs point to us moving in the right direction. Now we just have to get our football team to learn how to win. Saturday will be a test, but hopefully it's the beginning of our turning the corner.

Thanks @DrMike. I had forgotten just how late the students arrive in the quarter system. Was a quiet time in Davis between reporting to camp and classes beginning.

I'll be there and will report back. Fingers crossed all the glitches have been corrected by now. When do students report to the dorms? Any idea if we will have decent student support?

Breaking news. Buckhorn will be serving at the concession stands.

If SDSU's o-line can make openings for that running back, I think SDSU will be just fine.

PSU looks legit. I watched them play BYU and OSU. We may be thankful for the scheduling quirk that made that a non-conference game.

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.
