I think that as the end of last season showed, if LL can get even the tiniest hole thru the scrimmage line, he is likely to get significant yards on every play. Because he is so quick and strong. So now the question is whether we have the OL who can do this? Arm tackling LBs will not stop him. Sure, Ott is a great RB but not a breakaway RB like LL. If we can slow him down we can win this game. So I agree, a game control strategy might work.

River, are you saying that the current
Posted roster is incomplete? If so, why?

TT in the slot is a very dangerous threat. He is great at the catch and run, he can block and yes he doe the double pass very well. And he can also step back and take the direct snap and run very well. Do not underestimate TTs ability be a to big factor next season. He is a gamer. Oh yes, he can also return punts. A very underestimated talent indeed.

I am certainly not an offensive football expert, but what I do see coming is this. And this relates to the topic of MH at the QB and the passing game. LL will be a big part of the game this season. He will bring the opposition LBs close to the line and the SS as well. Just in apprehension of LL getting the ball. And then with a fake hand off to LL the receiver guys are going to get open. So, in my very limited information and knowledge a 10-21 passing game is going to be hard to stop. So we don’t really need an O'Brian or a Maier, just 10-15 yards and MH can definitely do it.

The WBB roster is now complete with three new recruits. Two Canadian gals and a SOCAL sharpshooter. We are becoming a truly international team. Go to UC Davis Athletics site.
For the details.

If I see a Aggie trend here it is very fast over very large players. Bee ran a story about the two teams and focused mostly on the size of sacs offense line. A bit on Lan but not much. I’ll take fast over big anytime especially in the fourth quarter"……..!!

Forward the twitter stuff !

Is chima still playing? I loved the guy?

TB a will certainly add to that improvement. Still don’t understand why he made the decision. What the heck do I know.

OK movie i get your point. And I agree, but this is former Aggie team captain vrs current Aggie team captain. And very close personal relationships here. Not backyard brother to brother stuff. And I have to question TBs decision to go to Cal in his last year? What does it get him? My real point is how the cal coach deals with this. TB is clearly now the best ILB on the cal team. LL will be his target. Who the hells knows? Not spending a lot of time on it.

I think one of the most intriguing things about the Berkeley game is Teddy Buchanan and LL’s interaction. From what I know, which is not that much, is that Teddy was a very beloved teammate by his Aggies who hated to see him go to cal. He and LL were pretty close and so was he and TT who has a black GF who, as well, was a friend of TB. So, how in the new world of college football do we as fans and prior teammates deal with this transfer conundrum? Further more, plough was a popular coach at cal. Cal will be heavily favored in this game. Will cal piled it on as they will be expected to do?

Seems like the Davis Commons is jinxed. Most businesses just cannot make it there: Borders, Whole Foods, Habit Burger, Plutos and Gap. Numerous other retail stores all failed. I realize davis people don’t like chains, but this is ridiculous. I wonder why the new University mall owners think they can pull it off there. Does anyone know what they have in mind tenant wise?

So we could pick him up? Dad would love I think. I recall he was a pretty good pitcher out of high school. Who the hell knows these days?

Thanks for the input, but the Grad was something else. Big long bar, games for the kids, dancing for the Bigger kids; place where aggie opponents would come in for a meal and stand in line with their aggie opponents and be friendly. None of these other places seem to make that fit. But I may be wrong. Sadly, the Graduate in Berkeley has announced it’s closing as well. What the hell?? Question
: is the university mall being rebuilt now?

I have no idea where to post this, but I do know that the Grad was intimately connected to aggie sports and is sorely missing to most of us. So here it goes. I stumbled upon the plans for the new mall project that is going into the old davis commons mall space and I saw that a central 7500 sf tenant space was in the plans. Not exactly where the grad was, but close and very similar in size to the ole grad. As I don’t live close to davis anymore I have no information about the proposed tenants, but for any locals or near locals, is there any chance that the project will have a similar tenant as the grad? Like so many of us I practically raised my kids with birthdays at the grad and it would warm my heart with any news that something like it could be coming in the future. Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on this?

Didn’t know where to put it. Judge still has to approve the settlement. Claudia Wilkin is a very smart judge and she may see thru this terrible result. I know, big 10, sec, etc can handle this BW, BS, not so much. We will see a lot in tomorrow’s news

This just in: NCAA settles player’s lawsuit regarding pay for play. $2.8 billion! So now the question is who is paying for this? And it turns out, incredibly, that the smaller leagues will be paying almost a third of the settlement (990 million dollars) and they were not even named in the lawsuit! This development is way too complicated to even consider summarizing it here. It it appears to be very flawed and poorly thought out. Will a soccer player be paid the same as a star quarterback? Will women’s sports be paid the same? How does Title IX fit in? Are players now employees? Congress has to step in here and try to straighten things out if it is even remotely possible.

Is anyone seriously challenging MH for the QB position?

So plough will be HC/OC?

I was wondering the same thing. Or maybe for more money for the assistant coaches. So is it set that plough will act as the OC on top of his HC duties? I sometimes wondered if football teams were a bit over coached, but then when you factor in recruiting maybe not so much.
