For all the heat she took, I am very happy we had the Health Officer that we did when this whole COVID thing broke. Would t be suppressed to see Alameda county try and hire away.

Replay availability?

Cal-usc game cancelled. Covid. Why are we doing so much better?

Just a comment here. Looking at the pictures of MH throwing the ball it looks like he does not need the seems to
Throw the ball. I thought that was a TT thing?

We will be the underdog for this game. I like that a lot!

I had to miss it. Will it be replayed? Where?

If Hastings gets the start I think that might show that the HR concussion was much worse that anyone reported. Credit Hawk for letting him rest and heal. Maybe we go to the multi-quarterback system that is now the rage. I believe we have the horses to run that system.

Hey, no windows, not a problem. Put up pictures of windows. No air? Go outside. UCSB is taking a lot of very hostile nationally bad PR over this and well they should. For their administration to fold for their billionaire alum’s 200M on a 1.5B project is just insane. I predict it will be killed. Kids won’t stand for it.

Well if you think we are weird (add wife to this- we are all very weird!). My brother in law is from Michigan and went to Michigan. This guy is so into M games that he dresses up in his M colors for each game. Lives in Marin and is a teacher there. When the M games comes on at 10 am CA time ALL ACTIVITY must stop in his house. No phone calls. No answer the door. No talking! And he facebooks the entire game! It not go too well For The mighty M today at Michigan State today. Bad calls! M lost and the front room was a complete mess in front of the TV. Sister IL has to put him to a dark room with a Xanax to pull him out of his major funk. You know what? It’s just a game. Remember Friday Nights Lights movie? That was its message. Great movie. Watch it if you haven’t. We aren’t that weird are we?

Wow. Harvard coach time out. Not a good call.

Final comment: I think the team must love it when he comes up with this stuff. Makes practice FUN!

It was so fast I may have it wrong. But TT took the snap handed it to UG who handed back to A WR who reversed it back to TT who then then shovel pass it a WR inside. Problem: DL guy right there and dropped it for a loss. I may be completely wrong on this. I would watch the replay.

I generally agree with the poly broadcaster comments, but they sure got one thing spot on: the Tompkins trick play- which did not work. They even said that he comes in for “trick plays” and he did. I would like to see Tompkins play in more normal situations like last spring. Not just for the tricky stuff. I do not think we use him enough. That said, I must admit I love trick plays and this one almost did work. Maybe Hawk throws those in to make the next opponent work a bit harder. Overall, a good game for the Aggies. Poly was up for this game and it showed.

Aggies, you better be up for this game. Mustangs are upset at the last game results. Bad things happen with this atmosphere. Just saying, don’t relax for this game. Poly will be very tough tomorrow.

On a happier note. Halloween is coming Davis. Do you know that many alumni come back to davis with their kids to do the downtown trick or treat thing. They come from far away and recall how davis was so safe and happy during their days there. There is no hotel space in davis on Halloween! I learned the hard way coming from the sac airport. No rooms! Try and bottle that! I still came into town and all the kids were so happy with their young parents. Sent happy chills down my spine.

I wholeheartedly support this. We do not do enough of this stuff. Many universities do more of this and do it well. V & E is our most prestigious department and it is right that they start with them. It has the potential to bring in a lot of dollars to UCD if used wisely. Yes, big names work: Wade, Waters, Mondavi and many more are out there. I think UCDs Shaun Keister is doing a great job! Let’s do more!

Would be nice to know the school that made “the leap”

Great win, but Something is wrong with our passing game. I have no idea.

It is also very common for SF business firms, law firms, hedge funds etc. to give out Stanford/Cal tickets to employees and to clients. I really don’t see that happening in Sac, much less davis for UC Davis. Having said that, Stanford/Cal attendance very poor still. Am I seeing attendance down at all FBS schools in CA? Sure looks like it.

I agree with DRM and agalum. Very unlikely that we move to FBS for a number of reasons some previously stated. First, it would be enormously unpopular with present CA FBS member schools some of which are experiencing a lot of financial stress to their overall programs due to the cost of running an FBS football program. Just for example, Cal feels that Sac is “their territory” for recruiting and it has many alum (many more than UCD) there which they count on financially. Fresno feels the Central Valley is theirs for some good reason. Second, attendance. Cal cannot get its students to their games, so how can we? Ditto San Jose St. Cal alum told me that his kids at Cal “do not go to football games- boring”. Game v. WSU there were empty stands in a facility that just took hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade. So where do we get the fans for the games? The only obvious place would be Sacramento. Why would they come all the way to Davis when they have their own team in town. And then there’s the media. Davis has no real newspaper or TV. The DE? It’s a 5 day a week understaffed joke; almost like a advertisement paper you would get free at the Safeway. OK, so we rely on the Bee? Sac TV? Good luck with that. So all that nonsense about how our stadium will be “packed” is just b******t and BD knows that. Oh, and I forgot. We will have to upgrade our stadium to handle all these new fans. Should we hire the Cal engineers to get all this done for under $400,000,000? BD used to be happy with Jim Socher or BB during their reigns in DII. Why the switch?
