Pretty rough look for Sac to make such a large announcement this week likely to catch the eyes of the PAC or MW and immediately get bodied by a (currently) unranked NAU.

Massey has us at even worse odds... 65% Idaho. We're going to have to see a different offense if we want to stand a chance in this one.

I believe a good chunk of it came from the Edwards family

I'm just thankful that we got power back already out here in Florida to be able to watch a 10 PM start. Plenty out here not as lucky.

GO AGS! BEAT THE VANDALS!

Here's to hoping that we get a good crowd!

Agree with both of you. If we're going to make an announcement of something then Rocko needs to do it ASAP. The ambiguous tweets of stadium expansion don't get us anywhere.

Yep, looks like Sac is making a real push to go FBS by announcing plans for new facilities. I hope Davis doesn't get left in the dust.

This whole saga has certainly been something to say the least. As much as I think it would be cool for Davis to make the jump up, I'm not sure this level on instability is healthy for a program.

Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but here's Tubs at the Club's preview

From what I can remember this is new for players to essentially quit mid-season over NIL. Also, I think this is part of why there needs to be a huge overhaul on this whole process. The near 0 regulations on NIL are only going to cause more and more problems going forward. To make it clear, I'm not really against Sluka in this situation.

Sluka is basically saying that he was promised 100k to transfer from Albany to UNLV and that he now hasn't been paid a dime. If that's the case, it's pretty scummy of the UNLV NIL collective and shows why we either need to really rein in the whole concept of NIL (to where children aren't making 6 and 7 figures) or just have flat out sign on the line contracts in terms of the money side of things.

Several reports on twitter that UNLV and Air Force have decided to stay in the MW which leaves both the Pac and MW at 7 teams

I think a lot depends on what Sac State does. I have a hard time believing that Sac makes the jump to FBS and Davis doesn't or vice versa. There's a lot of chatter on the Sac forum about a jump to the Mountain West. I think MW will still be trying to pull from FBS ranks to get to 8 teams, but if UNLV and Air Force decide to leave I think they will have to pull from FCS ranks.

Oh I'm all for getting the place rocking. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I (and I think others too) just don't get what star wars music has to do with anything. Like, it's not particularly a hype up song or anything like that. I think a hype up song on 3rd downs isn't a bad idea, just I think some other songs probably should have been workshopped.

Hopefully we can get somewhat healthy this week! We're gonna need all hands on deck. I hope that the students show out, but season after season it's been nothing but disappointing turnouts for any game that's not the first game of students back, Sac State, or Cal Poly. This is probably the most important game of the season and I'm willing to bet that turnout will be lackluster. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

I already listened to the episode this morning and 2 great interviews guys!

I can appreciate Plough wanting the stadium to be less friendly, but I'm not sure star wars and Zach Bryan are the way to go. Now, I haven't been to a live game in awhile as I live across the country, but family who has been going to Aggie games for decades said that they found the star wars thing on 3rd downs "weird and annoying".

Reports are out that Utah State is going to the new Pac "12" conference while Air Force and UNLV are committing to stay in the Mountain West.

Sam is a great guest! Very knowledgeable about FCS football and it's topical too as he has Idaho ranked #1 in the country in his weekly poll.

The Chancellor May retweet does give more credence to Rocko's posts, but I'm still firmly in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp. I'll be more excited when we get something concrete and not just ambiguous posts about stadium expansion, conference changes, etc.

I want to believe that, but I'm just not sure personally. I actually lived in Virginia in the years prior to JMU making the jump up to FBS (2018, 2019) and man... they were regularly pulling in 20K to their games against their normal FCS opponents and 25k for ranked opponent games. It's just a different culture to have a fanatical football following and I don't know if that can be cultivated in Davis by making the jump up.

I'm not sure if there is a great future in west coast FCS football. I would love for Davis to make it to the big time, but I just don't know how the numbers get there in terms of support and backing funds. With the current NIL landscape we're going to need more big time donors showing up. The Edwards family can't do it alone.

Oh I agree. I don't particularly think major stadium upgrades or an announcement to the mountain west are imminent, but I've certainly been wrong before! Davis has a long history of lackluster fan support.
