Thanks. Good to know.

I think they are on team, just not traveling. Maybe not 100% recovered from whatever their injury was.

Same as the spring. Interesting that Tompkins hasn’t managed to move up to number 2. Tompkins will get in games though.

what does he say? I’m not going to enroll in Facebook

MATTEO PEREZ Is the only true freshman on the game roster. That’s an honor for him.

Devon King is also not on the game notes roster. Devon was a 2019 first team all conference player who missed the last two games of this spring due to an injury.

Two games this spring started with two tight ends, the second tight end in place of Crawford.
WR was a deep position, with the two wide receivers Gould brought in still here for final season. Now except for Kraft, and CJ Hutton everyone else unproven. Rodrigues really had a connection with Crawford

No Carson Crawford on the game notes roster.
He was arguably our best receiver, although it would be an argument.
Crawford and Babb were our most productive wideouts this spring.
We have one position on the depth chart WR(Z) where none of the three players has caught a pass against anyone but Cal Poly which almost doesn’t count.

Minor correction, the move was to California during the depression, and Merle was born here. His Dad died and Merle had a very tough life in early years, ending up in San Quentin He’s a Californian through and through.
The mystery about Merle to me is who was the best friend he lost in the Kern River. I’m guessing his dog, because no one ever says. Kern River is a great song.

I suspect our game notes are ready but they don’t want to take screen time away from a soccer freshman of the week award. Only 71 hours until game time

All the other UCs should seek an order by the Regents that Cal stop using that name. They need to be UC Berkeley or UCB. In the name of equity. Let them walk a mile in our shoes.

Who knew so many Okies were from Muskogee?

Tulsa is within the sovereign Muscogee Nation reservation, the Supreme Court ruled last year. That must be interesting..They’ve had to cross deputize a lot of police and highway patrol. Tulsa lists one player as having 15/32 Muscogee blood. I had a cousin who was a member of one of the tribes in Oklahoma.

Tulsa has posted their game notes for the Cal Davis game

Their offensive line is huge, I doubt we’ve played against a bigger line.

I wasn’t serious, except on the idea that maybe Nick Eaton had more impact before they moved him to rush.
It’s likely as you point out that Sean Harlston has outgrown being a defensive back. But if it’s good weight they can probably use a guy who had the mobility of a defensive back elsewhere.

Maybe they should try him at Rush so Eaton can go back to his 2019 position.

I like the Eggies name. Unites the Ag students and the egg-heads under one label, a very inclusive nickname.
More seriously, the fact that Cal-Davis is still in circulation after all the efforts to erase it shows an strong hold on the national consciousness. Proves you have to establish a brand early; it’s hard to change decades later.

I’m pretty sure Da’von Frazier was listed as a linebacker earlier in August but now he’s again listed as a defensive back.
I feel sorry for the Da’von because he moved from defensive back to linebacker, earned a start at linebacker in our last 2019 game, starred in the game,and earned a most improved player award, and then gets shifted back to defensive back and doesn’t see much if any action. I thought they might move him back to where he had more success but apparently not. We seem pretty deep at defensive back.

Apparently they have a cooler type of artificial turf.

Sad that we lost the ability to look at the spring games on Big Sky site.
I just signed up for ESPN + and don’t know how available replays will be.
