    I'm just excited to watch Fisher hit holes like his hair's on fire

    Definitely a slower burn than it should be. I think Plough for 10 more years puts us in a great spot. Talk about someone that can connect with alumni. He almost has a more zen and mature "Jason Eck effect" going on

    Fair, but the passion seems to be growing at a rate faster than our FCS and FBS peers. Coaches, players, fans, students of all ages are now more aware that UCD is a high value football brand on the West Coast. I coached in HS in the bay area for a bit, and every coach I encountered had nothing but respect for Davis (I didn't think they'd even know Davis existed). Once we reach critical mass (could be 5-10 more years of winning and producing NFL talent), things could get interesting. The only way to do that is to win and win repeatedly. We're 20+ years behind other Big Sky programs in the transition from D2 to D1 but gaining ground. There's no reason we can't get 1000 alumni donating $1000 each year. That's only $88 per month. My stupid streaming subscriptions surpass that for content I care less about..

    I don't think it's a matter of "moving up" to play the big boys, but more a matter of "waiting for them to come down" as fiscal responsibility becomes more important. The programs with relatively low costs are in a much better position than the over-spenders right now. For all we know, Big Sky teams could be better on avg than MW teams in the future (they're not that far apart now even).

    Higher revenue? Lower expenses? Both perhaps?

    At this rate, the MWC could look a lot different (in a bad way) by the time we're ready for FBS. The patient approach is the only prudent one at this juncture. Watching JMU in the CFP did make me jealous, though. Who's to say that couldn't be UCD soon
  • Needed Updates to the Football Uniforms / Field
    I think we also need to cover the concrete brick on the interior ring of the stadium with UCD colors so it doesn't look so much like a prison yard. Kind of like how behind each goal post there are blue pads on the brick. Maybe continue that all the way around or decal over it?

    Worked fine for me. Try different browsers. I have to hop between browsers for different Spotify content. It's not the best app

    Agreed. What's positions are we looking to add to next?

    What a QB room. Spring ball will be huge this yr

    Kollock might be highest rated signing of all time. Cannot confirm this, though
  • Conner brothers eligibility lawsuit
    I have to wonder whether or not there is more lenience with a sport (football in this case) that has much fewer events per season than other sports and is much more prone to season-ending impact injuries. Baseball and basketball play more games in any given season, therefore, the odds of eligibility debates due to injury depending on a single game is much less likely by the time season ends. All that to say, the more events in a season, the more likely injury eligibility is clear cut and doesn't hang on the balance of one scheduled game.

    I love the coaches very cryptic "welcome to shredville" posts recently on X
  • 2026 Football Recruiting
    I think the PWO offer uptick could indicate that we've recently gained commitment from the full scholarship players desired in portal.
