Aggie6thman moved to Texas several years ago as I recall and we never heard from him again. I think found another team or teams to be a fan of. I would have thought he would have remained a vocal supporter of the Aggies given that he was one of the original creators and the most active of this forum while he was here. AggieFinn would know much more than me about 6th.

12/05 games:

Bakersfield 106 Whittier 59
San Diego 98 Occidental 57

Aggies 79 Jessop 40 - Final

I guess we could add Scott Barry to the speculation list too.

I do the same.

47-19 Aggies at the half.

I'm in. Thanks Matt & Go Ags!

That was an emotional presser. It choked me up. I bet there wasn't a dry eye in the room. It's amazing how deep the ties to Aggie football are. It's a special program.

I hear ya. I watched part of the Poly game and they look much improved. OSU had got some lucky breaks in the first OT or Poly would have beat them.

12/04 game:

Oregon State 70 Cal Poly 63 in 2 OT

I assume he meant Chris Petersen.

Perhaps. I think there are a lot of athletes out there that would be stoked to be recruited by Fells.

There's a short video included in the Sacramento Bee article about today's press conference and they talk with Daniel Fells. I think it would be great to see Fells as one of Plough's assistant coaches. He was a very special Aggie and had success as a pro.

Possibly former Aggie QB Kevin Daft who is the OC at Dartmouth?

Kevin Daft was hired as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in February of 2017. He arrived with more than a decade of collegiate coaching experience, most recently at his alma mater, the University of California, Davis.

Daft has been instrumental in Dartmouth posting a 38-12 record since arriving, including 35 wins in his first four seasons, the most over any four-season span in program history. In his first year, Dartmouth ranked in the top half of the league in scoring, rushing, passing and total yards while QB Jack Heneghan earned All-Ivy honorable mention before signing with the San Francisco 49ers after graduation. In 2018, he had the Big Green among the top 20 in the nation in rushing and scoring. He also successfully worked a tandem at quarterback with Jared Gerbino — an All-Ivy Second Team selection — leading the team in rushing and Derek Kyler ranking second nationally in completion percentage and third in passing efficiency.

The tandem of Gerbino and Kyler continued to excel in 2019, leading the Big Green to its 19th Ivy League title while setting school records for team passing efficiency at 173.08 — second only to national champion North Dakota State — and completion percentage (68.1, third). The offense also ranked among the top 10 nationally in third-down conversion rate (52.1 percent, third), fewest interceptions thrown (5, fourth) and fewest turnovers lost (12, seventh), helping Gerbino be named to the All-Ivy Second Team once again. Overall, the offense averaged 33.3 points a game, 24th in the FCS.

The offense didn’t miss a beat after returning from the pandemic in 2021, averaging over 30 points a game with two quarterbacks — Kyler and Nick Howard — becoming the first signal-calling teammates in league history to earn All-Ivy honors in the same season. The duo combined to produce the best completion percentage (school-record .688) and passing efficiency in the conference, ranking second- and seventh-best in the country, respectively. The Big Green were exceptional at taking care of the football as well with the fewest interceptions (3) and turnovers (8) by any team in the FCS. The passing game was complemented by the best rushing offense in the Ancient Eight, placing them 21st nationally at nearly 200 yards per game, which played into Dartmouth leading the league in third-down conversion percentage as well (14th in the FCS).

Yes, the FCS playoffs are political too but nothing like the big time programs. What a rat race!

I liked how he addressed the portal and NIL money. He was honest about us not being able to compete with the kind of NIL money many programs are offering to attract athletes so we have to be able to sell the quality of Aggie Athletics, the educational value of a UCD degree and being individually valued as a member of the Aggie family.

It's understandable that some Aggie athletes will have a hard time not transferring when they can earn significant money. For some, that money will not only help them but also help their families.

I liked how he "called out" some of the former Aggies in the crowd who have gone on to be very successful but aren't significant donors. There were some posts some years ago here about how a lot of former Aggies, who went on to earn big bucks as a pro or as a coach or were simply highly successful in their professions, do not give back much financial support to the program. I find that sad since a lot of their success can be attributed to their time as an Aggie athlete.

It sounds like there were quite a few former Aggies in the audience and, of course, several former coaches. I thought it was a great presser.

The Aggies know about feeling "snubbed and left out" even with a 24 team playoff. We may have been #25 twice now in the eyes of the selection committee.

Wow...what a heartfelt and emotional press conference. The storied history of former Aggie players going on to become highly successful coaches continues.

Welcome home Tim Plough. Aggie Pride personified. Looking forward to the Shredville revival!

#1 SDSU is undefeated and looks to be the odds on favorite to win the championship. They did have 2 very tough games this season: a 20-16 win over Montana State and a 17-10 win over Southern Illinois. All of their other games were pretty much blowout wins. Anything can happen but they've become an annual powerhouse program and they'll be awfully tough to beat.
