Don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer but this light blue without gold doesn’t turn me on.

For the Team Aggie meals before home football games, we used to get really good food. One week we would get buckhorn, then other name brand restaurants catering the event. The last few years its been exclusively UC Davis food service. And I had to laugh about those chicken breasts that they serve as Fugawe mentioned. I’d rather have peanut butter sandwich. But, their fajitas are actually decent, lol.

A buddy of mine spent a career in the “hospitality” industry where he was the director of services for several large casinos and various large resorts throughout his career. It never occurred to me that such a career existed. But it’s really fun to go to dinner with him. His expectation is that a high end dinner should be perfect from the presentation to the meal itself. He’s polite, but critical when those expectations are not met. We usually end up getting extra care after he makes a few comments to the manager, lol.

I’ll miss SUU, (wife scheduled a trip to Europe on that date), otherwise I’ll be at all the home games. I will probably add at least 2 of the away games and Frisco :).

Well, 2 1,000 yard receivers would be nice but with a limiting number of plays, we wouldn’t have the touches to have a decent running game with those kind of numbers. I do think we’re going to see a wide open offense this year with more deep passes than we’ve had, but i expect the offense to be more balanced.

“ But there is a moral issue with pushing 1000s of students into more debt in order to pay six figure “salaries” to athletes already getting a free ride.”
Amen. And a high percent of the students are taking out student loans to pay their way which compounds the cost. What a mess.

“ I guess some folks here will need a drink or something as Coach Plough will play two QBs...”
Ha, I’ll need one. Plough told me last year if you are playing two Qbs you don’t have a qb. Did you hear this from someone in athletics?

DrMike is not saying the kid doesn’t deserve a second chance. Nothing is stopping him from getting an education and improving himself. But building a team around felons and kids with disciplinary issues such as Sac is doing in their football program is not what many of us want to support.

Thanks for that.

The bee article requires a subscription. Can anyone post it?

Shaqir’s stats are not very impressive, 6.7 points per game last year which is his high. 3.4 rebounds per game. He looks to me to be more of a name rather than an impact player.

Well, even of its just a figure head position, it will really help their recruiting.

There are positional rooms for all of the parts. RBs, QBs, etc. i’m not sure how many different rooms are designated for the defense. But its really enlightening to sit in and observe the details that they go over breaking down various scenarios and appropriate responses.

Plough has mentioned that the team is mainly responsible for picking the QB, mainly by who they support as the leader. If its close, I’d like to see Harper get the nod mainly bc of his hard work and dedication to the program.

Congratulations.

I have no idea whether this is more smoke or real.

It takes numbers like that to generate enough cash flow to support the position. I don’t think the principle is drawn down, i think the position is supported off the interest.

Well, all the highlight reels I’ve seen show Pinnick at QB. Random coincidence?

I don’t remember seeing him play. Did he get much playing time?

Great episode. They should send this clip to potential recruits. Bo is an impressive individual.
