Yeah, I think Plough's going to get my $1000 this off-season. Especially after the run I had at Cache Creek before the game last Saturday.

Dallas, TX - CLOSE ENOUGH! Sounds like an accomplished dude, what a gift! My goodness...

"I owe a lot to USD for giving me the opportunity to excel, on the field and in the classroom, the operating room and the boardroom. The scholarship I received changed my life," commented Dr. House. "This donation is my way of paying it forward, so future student-athletes can have the same shot at success I had. It's not just about football—it's about giving the next generation the tools they need to succeed, academically and athletically."

When people disrespect sports, especially football, and point a finger towards eliminating them and pursuing nothing but academics I think of the countless stories of sports being able to transform certain lives and families. You have to do it right, but sports can be a transformative bridge into an amazing life.

Probably a gas/oil alum.

Sorry, what? Did I miss a comment?

Thank You Brock and Dwight...Tim and Miles and Lan and Trent and CJ and Zach and Chaz and Winston and Ian and Princeton and Evan and Rex and Connor and the Davids and Lamont and Blake and Matteo and Jackson and Jordan and Semaj and Kavir and Hunter and Zaire and Eli and Jace and Jake and Ernesto and Josh and Mitchell and Sam...the whole damn squad.

Oh, if I'm playing QB - a passing QB - it's no question, I'm coming to Davis, though it is an ultra-competitive atmosphere in that room.

Though you see all this RPO from Plough - and it only has two threats currently, with little/no threat from #7. When that changes how will the offense evolve?

Akem's take on the 2nd Round:

We gotta find a place for ESPN+

Welcome to being a Davis football fan!

You know why I got the history wrong was because I went on the school athletic website for historical data...they only covered a 2009-2015 window, show we've played 8 times, and display a 1-3 record. Link

Rewatching the Tarleton State @ USD game --- I like the Aggie lineup vs. this club. Tarleton runs such a unique offense, it's hard to gauge the Coyotes defensively. They are very opportunistic - bad passes become turnovers, but they gave up a lot of big plays vs. the Texans.

Like Davis they have a lot of weapons on offense, they grind it out with Theis and Pierre Jr. - then pop a big one outside with their speed guys. Bouman is a big slingin' dude, he sees the field very well, like his decision making. Yotes like to control the clock, let their big dogs eat up front.

Several games, they've given up early leads, but like Davis, they show tremendous resolve. Don't see any panic in South Dakota - they look experienced, and not a lot of dumb penalties.

Aggies are 1-3 lifetime vs. South Dakota, three of the 4 previous matchups have been played in Vermillion...this will be the 4th out of 5.

Secondary line from Vegas, Monday 12/9/24:

South Dakota: -6.5 (opened at -4.5)
Money: Aggies +185, Coyotes -225
Points: 55.5

Hard to believe, but yes the student culture has shifted so far now that these students do not value football or the gameday experience...like at all. That picture was only 17 years ago...I graduated 4 years before that - and everybody in my class were rabid on gameday, it was a complete and total party, and a social thing for much of the campus. We all went back to study on Sunday, but Saturday afternoon and evening were slotted for supporting the team in the Fall.
