yes, CBS has signed a deal as I too understand. Gary Danielson and Brad Nessler were my favorite announcing team - I guess more old school and less prattling on after each play. Danielson retired after last season. Will miss him.

so is the “Pryor coach” Richard Pryor? And his previous tweet about the logic of “a lack of a conference invite signals readiness”????? Well they didn’t get an invite so….? Obviously should have said “unreadiness”. He needs to proof read or get a spell checker and logic checker.

I have noticed a recent trend of declining civility (and posts rivaling PhD dissertation lengths), and I wonder if it is correlated with last years winning season and quite a few new board posters and changing board dynamics. I sure hope things don’t end up like the self-immolating EGriz board Montana has. Perhaps things will calm down when the season starts and we can all focus on the season. The wait 24 hour rule might be helpful in some instances.

Good for him - nice story ending. I do remember Ron as a very good running back and if I recall correctly he had some nice spin moves.

These are stupid. If UCD partners with PG&E will they have flames on their uniforms ?

Ready kilowatt would be the moniker. My wife used to work for PG&E and said they were always in a corner between regulators (PUC) and customers in a no-win situation. But yah, these wacky uniforms are a bit much in my view. I wonder how much it messes with the QBs eyes with these one-off uniforms when you are used to regular colors when scanning the field.

Agree. I think they just look ugly (I take trying too hard for 200 Alex).

Punting was a glaring weak spot for most of last year so hopefully that will be rectified. Field position is a big deal.

Hard to say. Rich Martini was also on that baseball squad and played football and landed with the Raiders for a couple of years. Martini was a wide receiver and fast. Stole a lot of bases. As I recall, Moroski was also a pretty good basketball player (we played basketball instead of baseball practice when raining - we had some pretty good BB players. Those were the days of Audwin Thomas, who was the basketball teams best player.

I was on the baseball team with Moroski back in the late 70s. We just straggled onto the field after classes/labs and I’d was quite low key. Some guys did extra work and games were against far western conference foes and other close northern/central California colleges. I think the furthest trip was Reno. So not a big stretch to do football and baseball back then.

cynical …….. but spot on.

As @fugawe09 says, the 1M corpus is not eroded so you only are taking 4-5 % of that annually for “use”. At NC State endowments were tapped at 4% annually, and at one time (maybe 2008-9) some endowed scholarships were frozen due to being “underwater”. Depends on markets and investing strategy to a degree. But the big numbers the public sees doesn’t reflect the actual annual disbursement.

I had a former neighbor refer to Florida State University (FSU) as Felony State University back when they had their legal issues with their football program. Now I am not trying to slander the entire student body in this acronym possibility, as I am sure Sac has produced many fine graduates and citizens, but maybe Sac’s football program direction will lead to the unintended consequence of having some label CSUS as “Criminal State University Sacramento”. I am pretty sure Marion cares little about player academics except for football eligibility, and he is looking to the portal in an attempt to feather his own bed for a potential coaching advancement ASAP. If I were a Hornet football fan, I think I would be hoping for a longer term plan with a more stable culture. Maybe that just isn’t in the cards.

Isn’t that more than your home playoff game last year?

Don’t know that I’d bring up last year if I were a Hornet fan, especially in comparison to the year Aggies had. Pretty impressive resolution on the attendance number - down to units.

Actually, looking at the other CSU president salaries it does not seem out of like. For a good administrator (that would likely include somewhat of an ability to help “advancement”, aka fundraising) that doesn’t seem to be out of line. However, for a self-promoting huckster, that seems to be taking the taxpayers to the cleaners.

Is that the section right after the 20 best plastic surgeons in the Southwest in-flight magazine?

LOL. Good one.

Air temperature reduction would vary of course but on a typical late summer cloudless day would likely be more than
10 degrees F. Instead of cooling due to natural turf transpiration, you get more “sensible” heat or what you feel in the energy balance. Yo can irrigate artificial turf to get evaporative cooling but that only lasts so long unless you want to play in the sprinklers like we all used to love to do as kids. There are NCAA regulations related to that. One thing I hate it when sideline reporters stick a thermometer directly on the field with no shading to get the shock factor without explaining that the temperatures reported on weather channels are from probes 2 m above the ground with a vented radiation shield (shading). So it’s comparing apples to oranges.

A couple things I note about the referenced article is the singling out of Winston Williams over Ian Simpson who I think is a more impactful player. Likely just because of stats due to more snaps as Simpson was out several games.

Interesting that Plough did not mention David Rasor at all in QB watch. A long time until first game in fall and it will be interesting to see who starts at that point.

I know that the list excluded pre 2000 but 1977 against Reno was a major win and tremendously exciting for the home crowd.

- Tulsa was a great win. Almost perfect game by Hunter

-I remember driving into campus at NC State to be able to watch the game against Boise (campus had espn3 access). Great goal line stand in first half and drew close in fourth quarter.

-both Montana wins were big. Saw this years in person at what is a great venue.

But Stanford 2005 had to be the most amazing win in program history. Especially since it was a dominant win statistically. Held Stanford to less than 200 yards as I recall. Game was not on tv, pretty sure.

LOL. Good one.

With bad grammar to boot. Must have BS’d his way through his PhD orals.
