Who knows, Toke, the Aggies could schedule Hawai'i as one of their non-conference games. I'm sure the trip to Hawai'i is something the players like to see on the schedule.

Yes, I couldn't believe how long it was and I've only listened to the Aggies so far but when you are interviewing 22 head coaches and 22 players, it adds up to a long show!

Oops...

The Ags remain at #6 in the FCS Coaches Poll and their vote total increased from 504 to 514:

I absolutely hate that red carpet! It's gotta be the most ugly field in college football. I guess I'm just an old traditionalist when it comes to what a football field should look like. I don't like Boise's blue field either but I'd take it over that butt ugly red carpet in Cheney.

No other team in the Big Sky has ever caused us so much grief over the years. We've gotta find a way to win this one and get the monkey off our backs!

Big Sky Schedule for Week 8:

Idaho State at Northern Arizona - 12 noon
Montana State at Portland State - 1 pm
Cal Poly at Idaho - 1 pm
Aggies at EWU - 4 pm
Weber State at Sacramento State - 6 pm

Big Sky Current Standings:

Great find, PA. UNLV will be a very tough game for the Ags. They're on a roll this year and are currently 5-1 with their only loss being to Syracuse 44-41 (OT).

My wife and I have always been very pleased with the acknowledgment we have received from the university for our donations to the UC Davis School of Medicine and Aggie Athletics. We've received hand written thank you notes from Jim Les and Jen Gross and phone calls from an assistant football coach. We also receive regular emails from Rocko DeLuca as Team Aggie members.

Final scores week 7:

Montana State 38 Idaho 7
EWU 35 Sac State 28
Northern Colorado 21 Weber State 17
Portland State 42 Idaho State 38
Montana 31 Northern Arizona 20
Aggies 56 Cal Poly 10

Live Stats shows the that the attendance was 10,515 today.

The Ags have gone 5-1 in conference play since their win over UCLA and they are now 10-5 overall. They are also currently tied for first place in the Big West standings. Yesterday they beat Hawai'i 3-1 in Hawai'i. It was the first time the Ags have beaten the Rainbow Wahine since 2013. The Ags are a very good volleyball team.

I'd like to see Plough mix in some of the 2's and 3's with the starters rather than pulling all the starters out and then going with all 2's and 3's. I think that mixing them in with the starters gives them a better chance at getting some solid stats.

I hope this game isn't as close as all the other wins and we get a good crowd. My wife and I are on our 4th day of a 23 day road trip mainly hiking in the eastern Sierras, Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park and Yosemite. We'll be watching the game from Bishop. Go Ags!

Thanks, Greg, I look forward to reading it.

Bob Dunning takes the Ags by 21.

AGGIES over CAL POLY ... Last week I said "Take the Ags by 28" over Portland State. I actually meant 2.8, but misplaced the decimal point. I will be more careful this time around. This may be the Battle for the Golden Horseshoe, but trust me, the only horse wearing shoes when this one is over will be Ollie Mustang's son, Gunrock. Take the Ags by 21. (I presume I have the decimal point in the right spot now).
