Update folks! Got 3 family members and 4 friends planning to go, up from a whopping 2 people last year.

Yeah I agree with movielover. It was like laughably bad in how the marketing was for that last game. I went and trying/talking to people after the bad crowd in class, I was amazed how little the word got out.

Honestly I dont want them to take him and I agree its too early in his hc career to make a move like this and leave a place like Davis he seems deeply committed to, but the whole thing about Davis being a perennial FCS playoff participant and not getting all this credit and getting fired as OC at Boise is poorly researched journalism. Boise was a shitshow under the old hc and most boise fans admit plough probably wasnt at fault. The thing about players that could move to the power 5 level is a stupid argument too. Its well know Plough is a really good recruiter (look at some of his boise state players and davis alum now). Also, I think the whole "he didnt build the program" is a weak argument at best. You could make this argument about a thousand coaches moving up that were previous coaches at decent programs. Hawk obviously deserves a lot of credit but objectively plough deserves a ton of credit at most of his coaching jobs (especially this HC gig).

I’m with you on wanting sac to succeed. I have family friends who went to sac and they are a fun team to watch (even beyond the football and basketball, I like the baseball team and volleyball team) but this whole weirdness in messaging and actions between the AD and Pres is just dysfunctional and puts both the community, students and student athletes in odd positions. It just seems to me like either people close to the university or the people there are hearing/believing possibilities that either are not happening in the immediate future, at all, or are just trying to rush things along. I feel like it’s a pretty simple idea to not over promise without a definitive plan to deliver. The longer I watch all this sac state stuff the more it seems like that idea was not followed.

I honestly think sac fits in well with the big west. I cannot remember why they were in the big sky and not in the big west to begin with for all sports? Was this when they moved up to d1?

I am so excited for the Davis move to the MW. Some of the arenas have been on my bucket list for years and now we get to play those teams year in and year out. My family already is planning on making a Wyoming road trip at some point (and go to Nevada and SJSU games more often than literally any big west team as of now considering we all live in NorCal). The Pit at UNM is also an awesome venue. UTEP will be fun, I know the architecture of the campus is Bhutanese architecture.

GO AGS! Stingers down!

I have more friends who are willing to go to the playoff game this year. Hopefully a ton come back after the absolute blast last weekends game was!

Exactly! It’s just ridiculous.

Absolute sh*t show. Another thing Wood says and seems like will not happen.

I dont know how stan has his job he cannot write a cohesive story and gets picks wrong every time.

I think @BlueGoldAg said it best,

It's turning out to be a banner year Aggie Athletics and the men's and women's basketball teams look like they could have very good seasons also.

This is fantastic timing before moving the MW next year. Between almost every team improving so far this year, the announcement of aggie ascent facility stuff and increased attendance at games, it really is the most exciting time to be an aggie in a long time!

Seriously, and in perfect timing for moving to the MW

Thanks folks :) I feel so lucky to have been able to have this experience at Davis, it blew my expectations away. Luckily only moving an hour away back to the north bay so I will be back thats a certainty!

Thank you folks! I graduate in December so this was a great pre-grad gift to see the Aggies again at home one last time.

Good look for the program though to have 2 years being a top 8 seed for this program. Gonna be awesome. I dont think admin expected this.

A bye is HUGE

8 SEED UC DAVIS!

Was this the first field storm at UC Davis health stadium?

Goofy to the max

Thank you!!! Had like 7 friends today. One of our friends boyfriends who was a former d1 athlete at oregon was really impressed by the Davis environment. Said the sunken bowl reminded him of a smaller version of their stadium.
