Reality check? Seems like kind of an unnecessary comment to make. Yeah I do think Coach Hawkins has a network of guys that could potentially hit the ground running if they came to Davis. Hawk has been in the game for a long time and has made a lot connections all around the world of football. I agree that there is a lot of work to do in turning this program around, but assembling a staff quickly and recruiting is part of that... you can't blow that off. Even recruits you don't end up landing are always potential transfers from another school because you bothered to go out there and make a connection.

I still imagine that Hawkins plans on bringing in his own staff. We should probably start hearing some information coming soon. The current staff is still out on the recruiting trail, but Hawk will want to get his own guys out there as well as start making plans for next season.

Even with additional UC regulation, a 30 million dollar football facility will be very substantial.

Richmond wins on a last second FG 27-24. The Spiders had a huge 2nd half to win this one.

Richmond and North Dakota all tied up at 24 with 4 minutes left in the game.

Eastern Washington moves onto the next round defeating Central Arkansas 31-14.

San Diego ends up losing 45-7. Not unexpected, but still disappointing. Good season for the Toreros. EWU currently up 24-14. UND and Richmond tied at 7 apiece.

If it really is planned to be a 30 million dollar facility, it should definitely have some flair. 30 million dollars is a whole heck of a lot of money for a facility. I mean it isn't what you'll see at some of the biggest programs, but University of Miami is getting ready to put in a 34 million dollar facility for comparison.

Another Gubrud to Kupp TD right before half time. Eagles take a 21-14 lead after initially falling behind 14-0

San Diego scores!!! NDSU still up 21-7.

C'mon Toreros!

Gubrud to Kupp TD EWU

EWU recovers a fumble on the kick return. Already in the red zone again.

Well, I'm assuming so considering we haven't seen anything from the university.

EWU finally gets on the board. Central Arkansas still up 14-7.

Central Arkansas scores again. Eastern Washington needs to start kicking it into gear here. I know they have a very strong 2nd half but you never want to find yourself in a hole early.

14-0

We haven't heard an official statement from Blue on this new facility or the donation for that matter, have we? I imagine that if we were starting work on a 30 million dollar facility he would make an official statement about it so we can start getting more people in on the fund raising.

Central Arkansas defense is making the EWU offense look pretty bad, not easy to do that.

Things starting to get out of hand for San Diego. 21-0 NDSU just before half time.

EWU finds themselves down 7-0 start of 2nd quarter.

Just got done listening to the interview. Just has me even more excited for Aggie football. It really sounds like Dr. Blue and Hawkins have big plans to move this program forward!
