  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Why can I not see an Aggie podcast without paying Spotify? Or X?
  • Stadium Renovation hopes, fears, expectations
    Probably a bit off topic and weird, but is there anything left of the Toomey bleachers somewhere on campus or elsewhere? I would like to get a piece of the seating to make a bench for my son’s yard (a very avid Aggie fan). I do recall some benches in the new stadium purportedly are from the Toomey bleachers. So something might still be lying around from the old seats. If not where did they go?
  • Looking forward to 2025
    From study I want to believe that this Aggie front line is one of the best in history. Not overly huge but very strong intelligent and extremely mobile. But I have never really understood the concept of the 3 man front. I know that many teams have used it and still do but I still don’t get it. Please help me understand. All other aspects of the defense looks pretty solid to me. Your views appreciated.
  • 2025 NFL Draft Thread
    The terms “broken foot” or “broken ankle” are vague to say the least. If Lan played on the ankle post injury it was not a fracture of a major ankle bone but probably just a bad sprain with an avulsion fracture where the ligament attached to the fibula and the ligament pulled a piece of the bone off in the injury. It’s an injury that Lan can easily recover from but probably out for half the season. Kenny O’Brian had that injury in that fateful playoff game in the eighties. I believe it was against NDSU.
  • Washington State added the UC Davis to their 2028 schedule
    Josh Johnson is still at it at 39! With Washington Commanders. Trying out at QB.
    Still remember that 2007 game at Davis. Aggies pulled it out in the last seconds of the game. Johnson had to be restrained from going into the Aggie pack whose heckling really got to him. He was still a great player for the toreros and just has no quit in him apparently. Good for him!
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    I respect that sac is doing all it can to succeed in a recruiting theory the way Marion thinks is the right way.but I think Plough way should recruit much differently, the way of the Bushido. The Eight Virtues of the Warriors Way. We want players who respect:
    Righteousness
    Courage
    Benevolence
    Respect
    Integrity
    Honor
    Loyalty
    Self-control

    It never hurt that Sochor went with the zen philosophy on the field. It becomes a way of life. Just ask Kenny O’Brian

    Kadeeszy is a total fraud. He should be ashamed to do this stuff. Ban him!
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Must add an addendum to my post:
    1) Kessler has not yet accepted the offer per sac states information office.

    2) the law firm of Kessler, Winston and Strawn has stated that Kessler on the House case billed at the rate of $1980 per hour for 1624 hours. That my friends is $15840 a DAY!

    I merely ask, is the “tremendously wealthy” Sac12 going to agree to pay for this.

    Sorry for the erroneous Kessler billing statement.

    And now they’re going to hire a $500 per hour attorney to help get them out of this jam. Probably a $25000retainer for starts. Then he will get 4-5 young associates up and running at $250 per hour. Absolute gold mine for this so-called A++ “sports attorney” and who is paying for this? Good thing for Wood that the students are all gone for the summer. But, guess what, they will be BACK!!

    It’s the President of sac who has to stand up and take responsibility for his actions. And I would not want to be in his shoes when the chancellor of the CSU calls him on this.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Be very surprised if this situation doesn’t result in litigation. Classic bait and switch operation. Sac better be prepared to make good on all the scholarship offers made beyond the 83 allowed for FCS schools (if this in fact occurred) or it’s going to get sued big time. I think it’s called detrimental reliance on a promise that was false or negligently made. Something like that.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Yeah, and total silence from the Bee on these new developments.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    How would you like to be the California state university chancellor now who is probably getting calls from every chancellor in the system as to why this Sac state guy is making all these grandiose plans to spend money he and none of the other chancellor’s actually have? How is he doing this and we can’t? Well, because he is making irresponsible statements and I do not condone them. Nice to know. All done while the students are gone and not watching where there hard earned tuition is going under this Woods guy. I really wonder if he has the ability to withstand this. If this FBS thing of his backfires, he is also going to have to deal with a ton of litigation from the players who were (allegedly) recruited under false pretenses. The NCAA has this figured out and will not be willing to take on that exposure IMHO.
  • UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow
    Well, the sac bee thinks that the Ron Austin story is worthy of a frontpage story. See today’s issue. Very positive. And I don’t have to say the Bee does not like saying nice things about UC Davis.so this is very nice for Ron Austin. Someone please cut and paste the Bee story as I am not able to do it.

    I would think that your parents would have told you that making negative comments on an otherwise very uplifting human story means that you were being a bad person and should not do it. Maybe no dessert and early to bed. Hey, this guy was an Aggie legend. I am so sad to see these silly comments coming about how he “should have seen the documents to get his degree” or “he left for the CFL early” hey guys this guy was a legend Aggie and do not dis him in any way.

    UC Davis News just published a very heartwarming story about one former Aggie student, Ron Austin, who is now graduating after 47 years absence from college. Those who recall Ron Austin will be showing their age probably, but will remember him as an outstanding running back for the Aggies. I would say one of the best players UC Davis ever put on the field. Ron left Davis in the seventies thinking he had a degree but he did not; having a few units short he returned to UC Davis recently to complete his degree. Which he did. And will graduate with the class of 2025 next weekend. Congratulations Ron Austin!

    The time and environment of these sit down tests are often overlooked but can be very important. I was given the army OCS qualification test at the oakland army depot at 5 am in the morning before breakfast. Took the SAT after a 4 hour drive from my home to UC during an all day rain storm. I took the LSAT at 6pm on a Friday night after work all day at a service station in Chico. Barely made the mark on any one of the tests. I vote on the side of HS grades over the SAT
  • New Uniforms
    Yolo got to give you credit for the amazing in depth Google research you did into Khary jones 3 decade old history with his time with Aggie football. Should have got those stats down better. Shame on me. The point of the post was 1) his special uniform kit and 2) his abilities as a very mobile player. Both are the current subjects of this ongoing thread.
