I wonder if it was an Achilles heel with Layton. Weird in that there was no apparent stress but I think those can rupture any time.

A prescient celebratory Martini at half and another lite one at final. Can't remember when they have this well in recent times.

Nearly flawless first half. Maier managing things very cool and smart. Hard to believe the difference from last year. So much more fun to watch. Need to keep focus in second half and score some more points.

This was back in the "dark ages", but when we went to play Cal in baseball, a former UCD student who had transferred to Kal, came to our dugout and
when talking to an aquaintance said Davis was tougher academically. Of course only 1 observation.

After watching North Dakota, I think there are the team to beat. They have a good QB and are well coached. Overall I would say the Big Sky is down this year. I predict that the ags will do much better and think they could be 3rd or 4th Weber and Portland state look good too, but really no others have impressed, and a few are just awful ( like sac state)

Hawkins is a natural leader. I think he is the right person at the right place and time.

As for the chorus, well, let's just say their range is 2 notes and the key is open to debate. Must be the football team. Band-uh can pick a key and carry the tune.

69 aggie. I think poly is down this year and have not looked good in their first 2 games. On 37 yards passing against SJSU and were out gained on the ground by about 70 yards by the Spartans. SJSU had double the per pay average yardage. They have not shown any explosive plays in 2 games, something they used to have regularly like breaking off a 40-60 yard fullback dive.

Modise was the most effective back and he is really quick. The issue is going to be "is there going to be any other effective backs". No others really showed anything. Maybe someone will develop/step up.

If you sense hell freezing over, it's because I joined Facebook ......only for the stream.

One thing UND exceeds Utah in
Scandinavian names

UND hanging in there. Their kicker looks very solid. Utah has much more team speed and to hang UND is going to have to score TDs and not FGs.

Teams were somewhat of a mirror image. Colgate controlled first half then just looked like they were going to rely on their defense. Colgates QB not very good. Good game in that is was close but sure glad ucd doesn't run those offenses. I suspect both Colgate and poly will be mid-tier and will be on the edge playoff status at season end. Portland state was respectable today and I think their a
QB has some pothential to grow as true freshman.

Visited with a colleague at NC State and he was impressed by the UCD win-he said he thought NC Central would win and said Central was a good team. He also reminded me that NC Central beat NC State last year.

with siler you can see no confidence on his face and obvious tension. He's pulling the string terribly on his shots and no zip on his passes including telegraphing. It would be a plus if he started contributing

I have to say I watched NC State play Virginia a couple of weeks ago here in Raleigh. NC State played poor defense and used all 1 on 1 offense. Gottfried had been canned a week prior.

Then I watched the big west tourney games and the Ags for the for the first time this year. My thoughts - while not a great shooting or great offensive team I thought they played excellent defense and were very well coached. I just hope NC State doesn't make an offer to Les. I hear UC Berzerkley is looking for one too

Ah, correction. In statistics, there is no such thing as being due.

Other sad thing is that Davis students these days probably don't know what a heifer is.

Band and students behind bench would create much more energy. Back at Tomey band-uh on home side.

I watched this game. USD reminded me of the ags when they were the undersized but smarter and better executing team. USD dominated SLO, and poly was only in the game at all due to a 2nd half k.o. Return for TD and several San Diego turnovers. I think field conditions helped USD, but it really was kind of an embarrassing loss for Poly. What also helped USD is that they had played poly earlier in the season so had practiced for and experienced their unique offense that took poly's normal scheme advantage away.

I am afraid the glass slipper will get cracked in Fargo.
