    Worth noting: Villanova is down 28–0 in the 2nd quarter.. not trying to jinx it but a Davis win today could cement us in the top 5 of FCS….

    I think comparing davis and SJSU is a bit tough considering SJSU is largely a commuter school not in a college town. I also think its interesting considering we get crowds around 7-10k playing schools that were not historic rivals like UNR now. I think that is my point, while we may never have a 100k capacity stadium, being in a conference with flagship schools of states like UNM, UNR or heck even Air force seems beneficial to an already higher average capacity. I also think getting into a conference with actually broadcasted games that are not only on ESPN+ would create more energy from alumni who dont want yet another subscription, but people who are just flipping through channels. That increase of recognition on television would inevitably translate to some level of regional and local (campus and otherwise) fan attendance boosts at games. I also gotta say that while our stadium is great for what it is, I can only imagine with a renovation even close to what rocko and others have teased, football recruits, some level of prospective students, and alumni will be more interested in attending a game with a larger and more imposing stadium design, a larger tv audience where you can actually go to a bar and watch the game, and a more recognizable team playing us on the field.

    Exactly! Trying to explain how the FCS playoff system works and how were d1 but not FBS is actually such a pain in the arse. Also wild to me that a school with 40,000 fans and a football history of 106 years has not moved up.

    they actually lit off fireworks and had a parade down the street to be exact!

    What I was trying to say was that many people I know already struggle with knowing many of the g5 FBS teams, and know even less FCS teams (even ones that make the playoffs sometimes), leaving them struggling to get very excited about the competition by simply seeing ads or social media posts. I would be inclined to believe that the average fan would be more excited to watch a Davis vs unr conference game, or davis vs the likes of san diego state or texas tech bowl game than playing Drake or UT Martin.

    a few weeks later and as much realignment news from other programs and conferences comes out, and not one mention of davis has been talked about, I really do find that whole stadium rendering thing embarrassing, considering I had family members who literally have never been to davis see that tweet and message me about it. Also disappointing considering what I consider to be a pretty big increase in social media content surrounding athletics and engagement from fans, but sigh, we continue to get weird tweets from the athletics department and seemingly no offense when it comes to pushing for a move. I feel that a big issue with Davis fans, at least from what I understand as a student and talking to people, is that as the college football landscape changes, most people I know who are casual fans simply feel disenchanted by the literal names and stadiums of schools we play, and also see the FCS playoffs as worse than a bowl game (no matter what I think) because they don't see worth in fighting for a championship that literally could be against a team with less than 10k students. Family friends also (as dumb as it may sound), like the davis stadium but find it underwhelming.

    Anyone else a bit confused why we were served concept photos a few weeks ago, and then saw no push from Davis towards realignment (especially after texas state seemed disinterested)? Even more so with Hawaii leaving for the MW?
