A significant portion of scholarship players that wind up in the portal did not get there voluntarily.

Nice little stadium. Built with donor funds. Davis currently has club seats and can’t sell out of the existing inventory. What they haven’t realized and need to come to grips with is building suites makes zero economic sense right now. Someone on this board is always complaining about the tent in the end zone. That tent makes money. In fact if they had more tents, better food, and a couple of decent bars in the end zones or corners they would make even more money. Spending 50m on a few poorly placed vanity suites for the Chancellor and UCD Health will be another bad move.

Other programs don’t have to deal with stuff like this.

The Porter twins were neither Porter’s nor twins. Discuss amongst yourselves.

You two are doing more to market this program than the people who are paid to do so. Great work.

Yale defense has some nice potential grad transfer pieces.

Amateurs. Can’t even figure out how to take money from people who want to give it to them.

There are currently chairback seats unsold on the 50. That means even donors and season ticket holders did not purchase. Truly pathetic. They need to do exactly as you suggest.

There are other much better options out there from other programs with coaching changes.

Several of the 247 analysts defected to On3 so the depth of coverage has declined and it’s unlikely guys on the cusp of the FBS will get much attention on either platform going forward. Has been a fun few years though.

Vargas would benefit from some film where he doesn’t bounce outside before the play develops so it could be a symbiotic short term reunion.

Not discounting your anecdotes on campus but that’s certainly not reflective of the entire university nor is it unusual for institutions with strong academics to have student support even during finals. This all gets back to Plough’s gripe and being expected to do more with less. It should be a priority to have a show with a sponsor rather than a weekly q&a with Dunning and no microphone. It should be a priority to have someone proof the SID releases and correct the obvious mistakes. It should be a priority to have this game plastered across town the last two weeks, including the student ticket options. These are just basic things that are not being done effectively and the people that should be managing these things are running around touting facilities plans that have zero ROI.

Chair backs on the 50 are currently available. The playoffs are always a good reminder of the limited support this program has and illustrates why expanding the stadium and/or moving up is foolish until there is a real plan in place to compete.

That’s life at this level. These guys generally aspire to make their way up to the FBS or NFL. The AD really needs to create a culture where it is understood that the stepping stone comes with the obligation to kick a$$ while you are here. They don’t have that mindset right now.

Far less production than Mitch and Ian but he was their top TE and more of an outside receiver.

That would have been bad. Lan had no idea what he was doing in pass pro at that point. Gilliam was a player.

Josh Gale left last year. He would have been an asset to the team this season as a big slot or TE that could be flexed outside. Different skill set than Ian or Williams. Was replaced by no one.

Eck extended at New Mexico. 5 years at 1.75 per year. That’s the landscape in the MWC.

Tavita is the HC. They have the position endowed. Luck is GM.

Cal recruits are getting rev share so anyone flipping to Davis would be going from paid status to free status.

Agree with you. Fisher is a great back. Vargas has the potential to be a great back.
