I’ve started commenting on all Facebook posts by the Athletics Department telling them to bring back Band-uh because it negatively impacts the team and the alumni who pay to go to the games. If you see me, pile it on!

Maybe also the fact that the Jacksonville QB, Nick Foles, got injured in Game 1 had some effect on Doss' decision-making. It would be hard for him to pick up where left off, stats-wise, and make a name for himself, playing with the backup QB.

Of course, $300,000 probably played an even bigger part in the final decision, or at least made the whole thing a lot easier.

Anyway, those are just assumptions. This is actually the better situation for KD again--good for him that people see his value!

Great write-up. Can you send this in to the Enterprise?

Field goals aren't what's gonna win this game...

I don't get it. The passing game got you to the red zone. Then you drop it altogether.

Yes, please! I'm stuck at a conference and found the only seat with lousy reception so I can't even stream the game.

Devon King and I share the same alma mater, De Anza High School, in Richmond. Not well known for a lot, except for it's in Richmond. According to his bio, in high school he was honor roll at the same time as being a letter winner. You can see he uses both smarts and athletic talents when he plays on the field. That's the Aggie Way. Very proud of him and glad he can represent my hometown and now my undergrad as well.

Our group made sure to mildly irritate everyone around us with just facts:

"I can't believe you guys are paying us $400,000 for this!"

"You're tied with a team that plays in a very nice high school stadium!"

(to a guy wearing Oregon hat) "Oregon's program was built by a UC Davis alum!"

(Darude's "Sandstorm" being played for the millionth time, on 3rd down) "I'm glad you guys are trying to keep the fan experience relevant by playing music that was popular when I was in college, 15 years ago!"

(after another bad pass / mistimed route by Cal) "Come on, Cal! COMMUNICATE! Isn't that your major?!"

"That interception was by a guy who grew up in Richmond, California, and was admitted to UC Davis under the same admission standards as any other UC applicant, unlike your team's players, who are granted admission under lowered standards!"

"Have fun next week against Washington."

Yeah, big time mistake. It’s nice they gave him a shot, but it’s hard to believe they can’t see his potential.

That tweet was immediately after his last game, so maybe he’s just bracing himself.

I'll be the short, chubby, brown man in a CA hat with my Davis Pre-Dental Society shirt on. Say hi.

First one was a tough one because it was to the sideline with two defenders on him, high up, but went through his hands. Had he got it, would've been pretty impressive. Otherwise many would forgive him. Others will say that if it touches your hands, you have to catch it.

Second one, he ran a nice, tight route, was open, ball went right to his chest, bounced off--even he knew he should've had that one. I'm sure there's a lot to be said about practicing and rhythm and timing and being connected to your QB, but that one was right on the numbers. I'm sure he won't let that happen again. Keep your head up, buddy!

Also, movielover has been a member here for years and is a fine fellow. Feel like maybe people are reading into things too deep.

Anyway--prediction: UC Davis 28, Cal 21

I look forward to the game. It'll be fun. Nobody here bears ill will. Get it, "bears?" But seriously, they're just jokes.

I'll be in Section XX near row 50 (I think 52?) for anyone who wants to identify other Aggies.

No hate, just fun. "What's a matter, couldn't get into Davis?" is what Dan Hawkins said to Chancellor May the other day when they renamed Aggie Stadium (May went to UC Berkeley). It's a play on how all of us at one point were asked why we went to Davis instead of Cal. Both schools are excellent and Davis' reputation amongst college applicants now is higher than ever.

"State School" is usually reserved for schools with the word "State" in their name, like they're bad. But really it's silly because both Davis and Cal are state-funded universities... So I'm poking fun at that notion of superiority as well.

"Kal State Berkeley" is fun because, as much as we hate being referred to as "Cal-Davis," Cal people hate it even more to add anything else after "Cal" or "California." Again, another tease, but not trying to put anyone down.

Really, they're inside jokes for those who like dumb signs.

I'll be there. I plan to bring some signs:

"What's a matter? Couldn't get into Davis?"

"State School"

-and-

"Kal State Berkeley"

Tough to lose to a team that doesn't even have a real marching band. But Aggies fought hard. Great season. Time to appreciate, rest, and then plan for next year.

Can I say how proud I am that Hawk hasn't torn one of these refs apart yet, the whole dang game.

Amazing how much the EWU coaches can influence the refs if something doesn't go the birdies' way.
