It's a pretty short trip from Portland. Maybe 2 hours if you hit a little traffic.

Crazy.

I think that has to be the case. UNT, that's right above Dallas/Ft. Worth land.

Didn't know that at all. Interesting

You know what, you're absolutely right. I got my hours mixed up. It's a 7 pm start local time in Texas, which is much better.

It'll still be humid as all hell, but yes, not as horrid as I painted it.

Okay, well that sounds horrible.

Shoot, when the 2017 or 2018 team went to Stanford at the new stadium, there was almost no wind in the stadium, and it was an early September, Noon or 1 pm kickoff...toasting in the bowl, and a majority of fans were up in the roundabout concessions area at mid-level in the shade for the entire game.

If the initial notes on game time are correct, the Aggies will be playing in the East Texas heat at around 3 pm Central. I think this rivals UC Davis @ TCU in 2006 as the hottest (with all humidity factors mixed in) game time temps the Davis squad will experience in over 15 years. Fort Worth is only 100 miles west of Commerce.

Average temps in that part of Texas in early/mid-September are high-80's to mid-90's

I had to work 'til 8:00 pm that night, so I got to it when I could.

Not sure about taptalk - might've been founded along those lines, but there was a switch to PlushForums some years ago, and we've been dealing direct with them ever since. Thankfully, they are very reasonable and responsive should anything come up.

Umpire rants welcome.

I apologize for the frequent interruptions. It's been a bit of a changeover this winter. PlushForums operates in England, or at least that's what it shows on the wire. We've updated the bank that runs the monthly deposit line for our forum, and they are very watchdog, and with fraud stemming from Europe (on Americans) on the rise, they halted the process - which I unblocked today.

Apologies again for the inconvenience. We'll endeavor to keep it seamless for the remainder of 2023.

Alaska might go to Eugene.

Sambo's is good (though I think it was permanently closed post-COVID...and for other reasons) if you get out to Depoe Bay - go with Restaurant Beck at Whale Cove Inn. Best food I've had on the Oregon Coast - a little bit fancy there, views are tremendous. Local Ocean Seafoods in Newport is really good as well.

It is noteworthy that it's only a short 1 hr. ride on Hwy 20 due west to get to Newport and the Oregon Coast from Corvallis, it's very pretty there in September.

I'll wager somebody in that car will want to hit the Seven Feathers en route.

How are the Aggies offensively? Is the lineup more power centralized, are they playing small ball and stealing bags, or is it a mixed bag?

I'd assume Molson-Coors isn't nudging Sudwerk out of beer provisions, given UC Davis' heavy ties with Sudwerk Brewery.

Zach Kennedy is primed.

Jesus.

Is the @ Sac game happening?

Friday/Saturday showing middling rain throughout both days, Seattle on Sunday looking clear at the moment. Guessing Seattle has an artificial field.
