BlueGoldAg- there were plenty of seats available on the student side toward the end zones. Looked like at least another 1,000+ could have filled those seats. Didn’t see any comments in this stream about the new announcer and sideline guy that replaced Kat... I thought both were super and added great energy. Overall fan experience is great with one exception: long lines for beer and food. Still not sure why they haven’t been able to fix that...otherwise outstanding.

Great progress has been made improving the overall game day experience. Concessions are the exception. What surprises me is that Dr Blue and associate ADs can be seen walking around the stadium during games...surely noticing long lines and long faces of those standing in those lines....yet during the season it did not appear any adjustments were made. The operation appears to be in slow motion. How about hiring a consultant to take a fresh look at the whole thing?
The product on the field has improved dramatically. It is time to do the same for the food and beverage operation.

How big is that missed call on our pass reception...let’s go offense

Announcers mostly good although they haven’t figured out our Punt returner is not Modise

Let’s hope we get a stop on the 2nd half opening drive. Feels like we can win this game....D will have to come up big in second half

No points here would be huge

Made a small donation. Would be great if they can go. Let’s hope brass players lips don’t get stuck to frozen mouthpiece:)

To your point DrMike, here are Aggies FCS special team rankings (125 teams):

-KO return defense, 4th
-FG%, 28th
-net punting, 28th
-punt return defense, 74th

As for return game:
-KO return, 49th
-punt return, 90th

Kicking game was stellar vs Suc State. Will need to keep this up in playoffs and avoid the big return that can change momentum instantly. And must hold onto ball in return game.

Perfect football weather. Several hundred Aggies fans so far. Pint also made the road trip. SS has about 30 fans. Very nice venue.

Everything pointing to Reno. Forecast calls for sunny day, high of 58, with light winds. No issue with AQI.

Heard through the grape vine that team has been told to have bags packed and be ready to travel in the morning just in case...coach will be updating team early in the morning on game status. No doubt Dr Blue working overtime to make this game happen.

I would think AD Blue is reviewing all options if AQI in Davis exceeds the 150 mark on Saturday. Latest map shows Folsom in the 60’s. Folsom HS available on Saturday?

JMU with 6 turnovers in loss to UNH

HUGE STOP

Got very quiet here. D has to come up big now

Four hours before kickoff. Band warming up. Tailgating getting started. This place will be rocking. Aggies have to get off to fast start to keep the crowd from becoming big factor. Perfect day for Aggies to take the national stage.

From the Montana fan blog....that last sentence is funny. Getting feisty early in the week.

“I know it's only Monday, but I'm already starting to get optimistic about Saturday. Coming off a week of rest, and hopefully some great practices this week, I think we will welcome UCD to Wa-Griz in the best way possible. I expect them to score some points, but I think we win the turnover battle for a change and get this one 38-24. Go Griz!

And to all the fans who will be there to welcome the UCD dozens into Missoula, please be respectful as usual. Show them a great time. Show them the bottoms of a few beers. Show them that, unlike where they come from, all beautiful towns don't have to smell like truck stop bathrooms with cows roaming the streets.”

Excellent crowd today. Close to 10k?

SD on the move. Momentum has shifted. Lot of time left. Ags need to regroup or this will come down to the wire.

Gilliam is off the charts-what a debut
