Yep, hard to find a negative on this game. The waves are a very good basketball team. Very athletic and we will see a lot more of this in the BW. Rebounding is an issue, yes. Also hard when you are a good 3 shooting team and far outside the paint. And Some say it cannot be coached. But the Aggies have the talent to deal with this. Call in Nina and Cierra and they did the job. Wow. A soph and a freshman save the day! Congrats to Morgan Bertch!!! She a real star.

I think its just very simple: a very poor defensive team. Maybe hawk inherited this, maybe not. But I agree with the former posts, defense was not a priority with the new coaches including hawk who took the “low hanging fruit” and just went with it. My take is that this is a very long road to rebuild and I don’t even know if the AD is in for this very expensive slog given that we are so hamstrung in our recruiting efforts.

The one player that I thought was a surprise was cierra hall. Freshman and tall. She will br a reall asset. Not at all intimidated by the big foreign Wazo girls. Good win for the Aggies

More on Texas Aggies (I know, who cares? But I still cant believe this stuff!) Texas A&M will build a $100 million dollar hotel next to their stadium where fans can stay game day. The New wrinkle: to get a room fans must pay $100,000 for a license for life. Looks like the fans are lined up to buy. Yep, any money left over helps to fund Aggie football. WSJ 11/8/17. Well. . . We could build a really small one!

I guess if you have a $170+ million athletic budget and a coach that makes $5 mill a year, this is predictable: Texas Aggies will fire their HC after this season if he does not win more than 8 GAMES THIS YEAR! So says Dallas Morning News today.

I watched this game and did not enjoy it. Yes we won, but how we did it was abysmal. We are a very poor football team. Yes we have some great athletes, but for the most part we are very thin in that department I.e OL, DB, DL, and RBs. I really don’t know if we have realistic expectations that we can ever recruit a sufficient number of quality players at this level to actually succeed in the FCS.

I think hawk had a nightmare. Woody Hayes came in the night: “two out of three bad things happen when you try and pass the football. . . . “ you all know the rest. Except when you don’t have anyone to run the ball or a OL that’s not there yet. I agree with the foregoing better minds. We are a work in progress

Happened to us for 4+ years. Not fun at all.

Maybe I’m wrong, but no tennis courts anywhere near LaRue field; ditto no football practice facility near Dobbins. But they could be there now, haven’t been there in awhile. I would like to see pics of the LaRue upgrades.

Well it was a hard game to watch. I agree with movie that the play calling was highly suspect going from tried and true passing game to a very lame running attack. I suspect that the OC will say defensively that “you cant always throw the football, you need to mix it up.” But if you have one of the best QBs in the league passing wise and the best WR, it is a sin of neglect not to use that advantage all of the time. YES, PASS THE BALL ALL THE TIME! When you have no real running game. Playing a real game is not the time to play practice with your running backs who have not as of yet proven themselves on the field. I know that the analogy is not very exact, but Patton in WW2 always led his army with the very best units at the tip of the spear of the attack. Not some unit that “needed some work or to confuse the enemy”. He won his battles on this belief. Hawk needs to take over the offense. Enough to said.

I absolutely agree! Where is JT now? I’d love to follow his career. Great guy!

The new and scientific practice on these games is to come in right before the game as O2 acclimation issues do not start for 24-48 hours anyway. That way there is no acclimation issue physiologically at game time. Also, very clear air is a plus.

OK ban Bossy Cow Cow and we will have a protest. Maybe the alums should sing it. It’s a very funny chant our students should experience to sing to their children when they can. It is NOT an embarrassment, but part of our culture. My wife’s grandfather was a WW1 vet and UCD grad (1921) always recalled it as he was dairy rancher in El Centro and could relate. She even remembered it!! Sung to her.

Maybe a nonissue, but their field is right next to the dairy barn area and when the wind shifts. . . Well you get the picture. I heard that the dairy was moving. Any idea when?

Can’t get Pluto stream. Just shows the Northern Arizona game. Any ideas?

In my only trip to Fresno for a game. . . The two guys behind me said that they just got out of prison and would I please move quicker forward which I did. The Fresno’s, the backos, the Stockton’s, modesto, they could all get back into the mix if they had easy transportation to the Bay where the jobs are. Therese are not stupid people they just need jobs. That’s why I think that the bullet train will be a great thing. Sorry, a little off message but need to be said IMO.

New coach just hired 3 months ago? 7 freshman 3 seniors? Not a lot of time to create team chemistry; but hey, woman’s soccer not doing that well either although they are very young as well.

With all this hype I am very glad that this is an away game. The aggies will go into an unfriendly stadium and will have to shed all the emotion from the PSU game and start new. Whereas Weber will be very excited and driven emotionally to win. We need to be cool, cold and calculating for this game, especially at QB. If we do that we can win.

I missed the game is there anyway to get a restream?

USNews claims vaguely that it uses "algorithms" that are fair to all that it rates. But, then admits that such things as "reputation", etc. are based upon subjective reports from those that may well have a bias toward their own college (hence older universities win out-I.e. more reporters). Items like "student teacher ratio" are easily manipulated. Student diversity is not a criteria. Alumni "giving" is part of the equation when it has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of education. I could go on an on and many have done it better than me before. With all the UCs (except Berkeley and UCLA) its a roll of the dice year to year just like it is with the "top five." So I have to take some solace that Stanford is probably humiliated with It's #5 rating this year..
