  • Transfer Portal 2024
    Was anyone there to see which other non-seniors walked for Senior Day?
  • Transfer Portal 2024
    Yup, the TV broadcast for the Sac St game mentioned he walked for Senior Day, so I imagine he was transparent with the coaching staff and he's departing on good terms.
  • Lan Larison named Big Sky offensive player of the year
    Keep in mind, 40 times will likely be slower at the combine compared with unofficial #s from UCD. The measurement tech is just way more precise in a combine setting and that usually means slower times.
  • 2023 Week 4: Eastern Washington (1-2) @ UC Davis (2-1)
    Lots of former Aggie coaches on the EWU defensive staff - Jeff Copp (DC), Eric Sanders, Wes Nurse
  • 2023 Week 1: UC Davis @ Texas A&M Commerce
    The one thing I remember from Atmospheric Sciences 10 (Severe & Unusual Weather) is that no forecast is accurate beyond 3-4 days.
  • 2023 Season Preview
    I'm excited to see Larison get a ton of touches this year. The guy seems to be a tough runner and has the speed to break big plays. Plus he's good out of the backfield. I don't think he's UGIII-level, but I could see a world where he gets a higher touch-share than Ulonzo ever got & posts some impressive numbers.
  • Graduation cut short, 7 taken to the hospital
    Ahhh brings back memories of that first game at Aggie Stadium. If I remember correctly, 40+ attendees got treated for heat exhaustion, we lost to a D2 team, and the turf was so hot that players had to rotate out to cool off their cleats by standing on wet towels. The good old days :lol:
  • 2022 Roster
    I saw from Babb's IG that he's practicing, but he's not listed on the site. Might be a cautionary tale against reading too much into the Spring Roster.
  • Contingency plan for smoke?
    Sure would be nice if our UC relatives at Cal would lend us their stadium when they're away. They could use some extra cash to pay off that monster loan.
  • Gilliam is in the portal
    Saw Gilliam and Babb featured on the Ags’ spring ball IG stories. Fingers crossed
  • Gilliam is in the portal
    Anyone know where Ulonzo is headed? When do transfers have to be settled?
  • How do we beat EWU, JMU, NDSU
    Don't forget Vincent Jackson @ Northern Colorado. The guy just put up 200 receiving yards on everyone in college. And played on their BB team if I remember correctly.
  • Week 8: UC Davis @ Cal Poly
    Cal Poly has so much going for it, there will always be an opportunity to turn things around. Awesome college town/environment, great academics, engaged alumni, local support for the program, athlete-friendly admissions, and geographic location that's ideal for SoCal talent.... that's such a great foundation to build on.

    Things may have changed, but I believe that Davis does not use admission by exception for athletes. I believe Stanford is the only other school in the same boat, while admission by exception is commonplace at Cal, UCLA, Cal Poly, etc.
  • Week 1: UC Davis @ Idaho
    Accurate that they both left to UCLA, but from my understanding there circumstances outside of playing time.
  • Week 1: UC Davis @ Idaho
    I don't remember many "higher profile" recruits washing out during the Biggs D1 years due to lack of early playing time (there weren't that many in the first place). Seems like high-profile recruits washing out was a much bigger issue in the Gould era (when the staff had turned over and there was no D2 mindset favoring older players).
  • Week 1: UC Davis @ Idaho
    Not exactly true - you had James Amos and John Faletoese (as good of DE/DT as we've ever had) and playmakers like Bakari Grant, Chris Carter in the end of the Biggs era.

    Something definitely happened to our recruiting in the late 2000s.

    To me, the starkest contrasts were:
    (1) O Line through 2006 (monsters like the Lekkerkerkers, Elliott Vallejo, Marc Manfredda) that consistently outsized opponents and forced their will, vs. the last Biggs years/Gould era where we were undersized at every position across the line and had no swagger
    (2) Clutch play & leadership at QB with guys like JT and Jon Grant (moderate talent but smart, gutsy field generals that stepped up under pressure) vs. talented guys that either got thrown into the fire too early, lacked leadership skills, and/or folded under pressure.
  • Montana, Montana State opt out of spring FCS championship season
    Seems like moving away from the triple-option could be brutal in terms of OLine composition. How is CP planning to handle?
  • Southern Utah to WAC?
    Am I understanding correctly that the new WAC football conference will be all-FCS?

    *Edit* saw the other thread answering my question.

    That's a lot of dudes spurning FBS offers!
