The Aggie offense is running as quick a tempo between snaps as I have ever seen in football. The pace is impressively fast and the Aggie big men must be in awfully good shape to be able to keep up at that pace. I'm not even sure how they get the plays called from the sideline so quickly. It was fun to watch!

It does not sound good for the Lumberjacks. D2 football is just not viable anymore out west.

The historical front runners in the Big Sky like EWU and Montana always have a few players that could play at the FBS level. We need to be able to keep a few ourselves in order to continue to elevate the program. I think Doss will stay and put up some big numbers for us and the pros will notice even though teams are certainly going to be targeting him defensively.

BTW, #75 for USD was 6'8 and 315 lbs...that's NFL size!

Perhaps the best video about Aggie football I've ever seen. This is what it's all about and, really, what it's all about for all the Aggie sports. Hawk says it so well. It needs to be promoted heavily and shared extensively. Magnificent!

The new scoreboard is fantastic but the mic problems continue to haunt us. The Daktronics screen is sharp as a tack and the audio crisp and clear so they can play it loud enough but not so loud that it damages your hearing.

Something must have been wrong with the video replays for most of the game. We started getting replays shown in the 4th quarter. The Aggie offensive tempo is so fast that it tough to get a replay on each snap but they finally figured it out.

I'm at the game and the big Daktronics screen is awesome! Tack sharp and great audio. Only big problem is that there have been no replays. What the heck..???

Excerpt from the Enterprise:

The Aggies will unveil their mammoth new scoreboard on Saturday. The 1,400-square-foot Daktronics screen will be a game-changer, Deputy Athletic Director Rocko DeLuca promises.

An investment of just over $500,000 comes from UCD’s Aggie Stadium capital improvements budget and the south-end wonder will continue to be named in honor of original scoreboard donors Dorothy and Melvin J. Olsen.

“We had some help from our partners with purchasing on campus,” explains DeLuca, who said the project was first discussed in January and got underway this summer. “It was a pretty tight window.”

Bob Dunning picks the Ags by 14:

"AGGIES over SAN DIEGO … the “other” San Diego has had tremendous recent success in the Pioneer League, which in no way, shape or form can be compared to the Big Sky. However, the Toreros are a feisty bunch and capable of ruining UCD’s home opener. Take the Ags by 14."

Dunning was 54-5 overall in his picks last week. Things get tougher for him this week now that most of the body bag games are over.

Thanks, movie. It's apparent that Hawk knows what it will take to the program to the tip of the FCS.

I guess UNC was in search of a million dollars!

It appears that that men's and women's basketball and even some other sports will have a coaches show:

A Buckhorn tri tip sandwich and a Sudwerk beer is awesome! We're in for a treat if the Buckhorn keeps their traditional high standard of food service at the football games. Blue is ticking all the right boxes!

Thanks for the recaps CA Forever and DrMike. I couldn't agree more about the quality of the Aggie athletes we have. Our athletics program has always been a program where our athletes have been required to get it done in the classroom just like the rest of the students and I think that makes our program special and somewhat of a rarity in major college athletics. There's truth and integrity to the title "student/athlete" at UCD and that makes me proud to be an Aggie fan.

I can't find any archive of the show. Can anyone summarize the highlights?

I won't be able to watch the first coaches show tonight at 7 pm. Anyone know if we may be able to watch it at another time?

He is definitely still here. His is active on his twitter account with his title as UCD Provost & Executive Vice Chancellor.

Wow...I think we can rest assured that Harbaugh will never be an Aggie fan!

I haven"t heard anything about him leaving UCD so I just assumed he is still here. The basketball team gave him a championship ring a few months ago too.

I've never felt better about the administrative support we now have for Aggie Athletics with Kevin Blue at helm along with Ralph Hexter and Dr. May in Mrak Hall. I feel like we're in the midst of a paradigm shift for D1 athletics at UCD. Exciting times to be an Aggie fan!
