    The Westlake receiver is no longer committed. Headed to Cal, UCLA or BYU.
  • Facilities Master Plan Release


    The only real design in the package is for softball, which they already had. The “plan” was put together by a planning firm not a design or development group. Wouldn’t put much stock in any of those renderings. You’d think with this many administrators on staff they would be better at rollouts by now but I guess some things never change.

    “In theory it’s good exposure…” I’ll stop you there. In practice it is incredible exposure. This is the window espn lost when four of the PAC 12 schools wound up in the Fox conference. Instead of Pac10/12 after dark you have the Ags on the screen in just about every bar in the country. Packed house, giant beer cup snake, kids playing their arses off, defense with its best showing of the year given the circumstance, the good uniforms, and a phenom at qb. That our response here is a collective yawn that proper respect wasn’t paid to the miracle game really highlights the struggle to move this program forward. There’s a really good chance that a lot of the young guys who contributed this year aren’t going to be back. Experiences like Saturday night should be celebrated.

    And he’s throwing to the smallest collection of outside receivers in the country. Sam is tough as nails but there is nobody with any sort of catch radius on this team. Gale would have been a significant asset. Strange roster construction there.

    There’s better odds that the talent heading out will exceed the talent coming in so it’s best to focus on there here and now. Cofield was a unique situation. Nobody like that in the 26 class.

    The time to talk about things like that is when you are filling air ahead of kickoff. This game rolled in late from another contest and none of those things were terribly relevant to the broadcast. Pretty amazing the program is now playing multiple games a year on the broader espn platform and the response from Aggie fans is mainly to complain about it.
  • WEEK 11: UC Davis @ Idaho


    I don’t really see it that way. Every week is the most important week when you’re in the bunker. What Caden is doing right now is amazing. Lucky to have him and hope to get at least one more year with him.
  • Stadium Renovation hopes, fears, expectations


    That’s right. Davis wouldn’t need the football center part. Start with Poly’s new north end zone and then build in some of the components Populous designed for Colorado State to the home side. Visitor side should not be a priority.
  • Stadium Renovation hopes, fears, expectations


    The east side generates almost zero revenue. They can’t get people to fill the existing seats over there. Even with free tickets. More seats over there would be terrible. What they need are some paying customers. You do that by creating a different experience. Start with one end zone and if you need tents you need tents. This is about bringing in money not breaking pretend attendance records with fantasy counts.

    True that ISU is much more balanced than Sac but I don’t see Davis’ problem so much as run/pass as playing in space. Sac does a nice job spreading you out and finding the green grass. Sievers has shown some nice flashes but the other two backers can’t shed blocks and 8 has terrible instincts. None of the three are real athletic. I don’t see the next few weeks going well. Hope I’m wrong.
  • Big Sky Football Games Week 11


    Can also lose all 3. Sac is a terrible matchup for the Davis defense. Cody provided the blueprint.
  • Idaho State @ UC Davis


    The Ivy doesn’t have real scholarships. The best players in that league are leaving before graduating. Same is happening at Stanford. This is a pro sport now. Great for a place like Davis to fill a niche but it will seem like more of a farm system here next year.

    Undergrad biz has not been “flexible” for transfer portal targets.
  • 2025 WEEK 9: Aggies @ Bears in Greeley, CO 12:00 PM PT


    Fisher had 3 receptions in the whole game. 11 was his rushing number. He’s the best inside zone runner on the team and has been for the last three years. Should have put the game on ice early in that second half but got cute with the pass game and too much Vargas.
  • Idaho State @ UC Davis


    Academic rep helps with grad transfers but Davis’ transfer restrictions hurt with regular portal kids in many cases as Cody noted. Undergrads in business administration as an example can’t just transfer in to man econ.
  • Idaho State @ UC Davis


    Visiting teams have since realized staying downtown isn’t in their best interest. Whatever Caltrans is doing to the causeway means it’s 30-45 by bus back and forth to the Friday walk through from one of the airport hotels.
  • Idaho State @ UC Davis


    Almost all of the freshman have had Ivy offers for years. Offers are self reported. You put those on your resume to balance out the academic powerhouses like Utah State and New Mexico.
  • Idaho State @ UC Davis


    Cody doing his best to ensure he’s the guy if Plough moves on. ISU seems to have a functional microphone, multiple media types asking questions, and an unaffiliated primary sponsor. Hmmm.
  • Idaho State @ UC Davis


    That’s happening with less and less frequency. The gap between the Big Sky and the Ivy is massive now for obvious reasons.
  • 2025 WEEK 9: Aggies @ Bears in Greeley, CO 12:00 PM PT


    No kidding. The good is Sam and Nate had their best games of the season. Just not sure that translates to a better opponent. Crazy that Fisher seems to have 6 totes into the third quarter each week when the game is close.

    Plough is actively trying to lose the game
