  • Week 1: UC Davis @ Idaho

    I’ve actually flown direct into Pullman in the summer. It’s about a 4 hour flight for me from Davis, but as you mention, this time of the year can be dicey, especially for small planes.
  • Week 1: UC Davis @ Idaho
    Was just looking at flights from SMF to Moscow or nearby. That’s a tough place to get to unless you're on a charter. If the price was right i would entertain the idea, but it looks like it will be a watch party with my wife and the canines, lol.
  • R.I.P. D2 football in California
    The middle class families are the ones that pay the price, especially when it comes to professional school. Those kids (in prof programs) are graduating with $150,000 + in student loans. Outrageous. I had a student from south america that i mentored through her undergraduate program. She was an average student. When she graduated, i asked her about her student loan debt. Nada. Free ride for everything including living expenses.
  • No fan attendance-how are you holding up ?
    I drove by Plainfield last weekend, they were open but looking for a cook

    We’re hoping fans will be allowed for the game at SLO. Take the RV and make a small vacation out of it with wine tasting in Paso, COVID permitting.

    Last week athletics stopped by with the mobile tailgate. We sat on our front lawn, socially distanced and masked, talking about football. It was a real pleasure to visit and talk about a lot of the issues that we have been speculating about on this forum. As discussed here, the health of our student athletes is the priority, including very frequent covid testing and providing our testing (and expertise) to other schools. Proud of our program.

    Interview with the Vandal’s coach about the game: https://govandals.com/news/2021/3/2/football-no-19-vandals-host-aggies-saturday.aspx

    We are a big “unknown” but he sings praises about Gilliam.
  • Week 1: UC Davis @ Idaho
    I was looking up the weather for the game then realized they have a dome. “The Kiddie Dome,” described by ESPN as “the tiny Dome.”

    Well i guess all those ndsu fans will be loosing their plane and hotel reservations to frisco.
  • Coach Hawkins toughest test to date?
    EWU, ugh. I was there for the regular season game when we got destroyed. I will never forget the totally cheap shot on Doss as he was stretched out, hit hard before the ball was even close. Terrible, ice cold stadium with no protection from a blistery breeze coming out of Canada.. People huddled in the men’s room at half time to get warm. I sat with a former Aggie player who i ran into at the game. I thought he was going to get into a fist fight with the obnoxious EWU fan sitting next to us. But then there was a group in front of us that were super nice and welcoming. I had to walk through their home side after the game, that was not a pleasant experience. Realizing every group has bad apples, i seriously doubt i would ever return to that stadium.
  • Herd Immunity

    Interesting. The nurse they interviewed should have listened to the experts at health systems, but I’m glad she came around.
  • Start of season to be delayed

    Looks like that game will be on pluto tv 3/6. The Vandals play EW the week before also on pluto tv. It will be interesting to watch the EW-Vandal match up. Last year the Vandals were 5-7.
  • Start of season to be delayed
    Well darn. Few things to look forward to these days. Student safety though must be the priority.
  • The next Aggie QB?

    Strange. I saw it this morning and now, as you point out, its gone. Too much inside info?
  • The next Aggie QB?

    It worked for a few games but then everybody including the water boy knew when we were going into the mad cow playbook. But Hawk is masterful at using talent in the right position. It’s getting close fellas!
  • The next Aggie QB?
    I really liked Trent Tompkins HS tapes. That guy just seems to make something happen. Hoping we get some mobility in QB this time around.
  • MBB: Long Beach State vs. UC Davis, Friday and Saturday, 4 pm
    Great finish, thought that last missed FT was going to come back and bite us. Love beating beach.
  • MBB: Long Beach State vs. UC Davis, Friday and Saturday, 4 pm
    Figures. My ESPN feed has gone all haywire.

    I’m really disappointed in espn customer service. I added espn 3 specifically to stream aggie games and the system doesnt let me in. I’m never able to get a human on the phone.
  • MBB: Long Beach State vs. UC Davis, Friday and Saturday, 4 pm

    My info says tip off at noon today. LB easily leads in the all time series, but we’ve had good luck against them in the last few years. They’ve had some games canceled bc of covid, maybe they will come out flat? This match up is always fun to watch live in the pavillion.

    Edit that, 3 pm. It was listed at noon one moment then 3 the next.
  • Montana, Montana State opt out of spring FCS championship season

    I screwed around for 30 minutes the other day trying to get my espn3 stream working only to discover the game was on big sky tv, lol.
  • Montana, Montana State opt out of spring FCS championship season

    You should be able to stream from the 31 broadcast if you’re not in the Sacramento region:

    But it might be worthwhile to drop them a note and grease the wheels .
