My late father in law was the chief of police at a major university in Socal. He knew most of the football players well, unfortunately for the wrong reasons. The majority of them did not graduate, but received a certificate of attendance. I wonder what the graduation rate is for bama players.

Toller rounds out Hawks assistants as wide receiver coach: http://www.ucdavisaggies.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/010117aab.html

"Also, while perusing the UC Davis Athletics webpages, I couldn't help but notice a conspicuous absence of diversity among athletic administrators. "

From my angle, while i see great strides in diversity amoungst admins across campus, let's bring in the best talent without worrying whether we need to check the box for an irishman, hispanic, african-american, or any other demographic group. And the same goes for our student athletes.

Wow, that kid has speed and the moves.

I wonder what the stats look like on the forum, this year compared to last during this time of year, in terms of total posts and new posters. The anticipation of how games will be managed with the talent and that opening kick off has me excited, it appears I'm not alone. Go Ags

Not worth it.

+1

And beyond that, he's going to have some high profile coaching colleauges on the field with him. If he was kicking field goals when we're down by 3 TDs, or running up the middle play after play when its being stopped repeatedly, there's going to be some discussion. Hawk does not accept mediocre performance. I dont think he will be befuddled :).

Just watched the video. He certainly knows the big sky. As i watched it, i wondered about what kind of competition we are going to have for the QB position? Hawk is bringing in a combo of seasoned pros and youth. I think the players will easily identify with a guy like Plough. I like whast i see.

• Coming off one of the most successful offensive seasons in school history where NAU changed its offense to a pro style/no-huddle philosophy, Plough coached quarterback Case Cookus to FCS STATS Freshman Player of the Year honors, in addition to winning the Jerry Rice Award and other numerous All-American accolades. Cookus broke an 11-year old NCAA FCS freshman record for most touchdown passes in a season; including setting a new school record. He had the fewest interceptions in the FCS by any quarterback with 3,000 or more passing yards.

• During Plough’s first year as offensive coordinator, NAU had the 11th best offense in the FCS. The Lumberjacks ranked first in team passing efficiency (180.18), seventh in scoring offense (39.3), eighth in passing offense, and eighth in red zone offense (89.8).

Sounds good to me!

Still no new job for Coach Gould? — movielover

His Twitter page has been fairly quiet. After that one article in Scout about him going to Fresno, I haven't heard anything new.

Someone mentioned the assistance have contracts that expire at year end, so — goaggs1

If it is true that donations are covering the expense of the new hires, maybe they are going to just let the original assistants work out their contracts and help smooth transition(?).

I'm thinking that's a solid no — CA Forever

Yep, got it!

Jalani Eason — CA Forever

Any relation to Bo Eason?

looks like my wife and i will be at the san diego state game.

We might catch it as well.

Last time I remember playing them at home they came in 10-0 and scored with a minute left to take the lead. We then scored quickly and shut them out of the playoffs — PortlandAggie

Maybe the game I was thinking of was in SD. They had a dynamite QB (Truillo ?) , ha, but glad we didn't play them this year!

Have we played San Diego before? — movielover

Yes. I think we are leading them, but I will never forget them coming to Davis and beating us in the new stadium. Harbaugh might have been the coach. They had a first class QB who could really laser the ball where he wanted.

EWU tries to lateral their way to the end zone but come up short... devastating loss for the Eagles. It will be James Madison and Youngstown State going to Frisco to battle it out for the championship. — CA Forever

I thought EW was in total control, then it seemed the momentum started to shift. Both teams deserved to be there. But YSU just kept grinding away. Success builds success. A team down on their luck might have just given up, but those guys kept plugging away, and made it happen. That endzone reception was incredible. I never saw it in any highlights which surprised me.

I love the SacBee headline: UC Davis women pound Sac State 110-78 in Causeway Cup — PortlandAggie

That caught my eye this morning as well. You just never see the Bee saying anything positive about UC Davis, and you never see them putting Slac down.

34-31 Youngstown. Momentum definetly shifting to them.
