Look, I know it was an old Toomey tradition to run games deep into the night at 7 pm because of the September/October heat (dare I say, the student of the day were allowed to get pretty hammered before heading into the stadium) -- but do night games hurt student attendance? Or is the lack of sustained student turnout a prevailing issue due to the gentle decline in younger generations not having major sports as part of their daily lives?

As a now middle aged dude who has to drive back to the Bay Area after games - I'd rather drive back at 7 pm than 10:00 pm.

Man, it's not even close how much Rex does on DEFENSE --- MRI results should be back by tomorrow if it was taken Saturday night / Sunday morning.

A whopping 8, and yes, it was quite memorable -- Psyk and Sam could both get into double digits this season, looking forward to the chase!

Hell yeah!

I think that punt returner plays for the Saints now. Has a Jordan Fisher build, but Shaheed is even faster. They list him at 6' I think that's a stretch.

He had a run in with folks in El Paso last year -- then, of course, Southern Utah proceeded to beat the Miners in that game -- now the former UTEP running back Dye runs for Southern Utah! Dye certainly tore us a new one on ground all night last Saturday.

Recent memories playing Weber State - I believe a young Miles Hastings came in late on the road in Ogden and helped lead the Aggies to a road win 17-14 with a young Trent Tompkins trotting into the end zone for a go ahead score late in the 4th - it capped off a 15 play, 6 minute + drive. It was a very tough, defensive game on both sides. It was the post-COVID fall season in 2021.

Well, I couldn't individually count them - but by late 1st quarter, that was the fullest I've ever seen UC Davis Health Stadium...it's too bad the crowd wasn't a bit more lively. Best crowd ever at the Big A was 2018, vs. Idaho State, crazy overtime thriller - everybody was jacked and into the game, so much fun. Obviously, the old fans at Toomey were much louder and rowdier...and at times, not being cool, but they were very loud that's for sure.

What's Lan's recovery timeline?

Shout out to the Poly transfer David Meyer, who in his lone UC Davis season accomplished all of the following at Inside Linebacker:

- 2024 FCS Football Central All-American
- 2024 STATS Perform FCS All-American
- 2024 First Team Big Sky All-Conference

- Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week (Nov. 5, 2024)
- FCS Nation National Defensive Player of the Week (Nov. 5, 2024)

...and was a key member in a defense that made it to the FCS Quaterfinals.

I watched a lot of the game - tough game, Baltimore was missing some guys on defense, TB was all over the place, but getting washed a bit on run plays, trouble covering Gibbs out of the backfield, but who doesn't have trouble doing that?

Weird visual, yes.
