As expected, the Huskies will have a huge height advantage. Their roster features 7 players over 6'8 including one at 6'11 and 2 at 6'10. Ten of the 16 players on their roster are transfers from other schools.

Portland State 58 Sac State 38 - Final. PSU scored 41 points in the 2nd half.

Wow...hard to believe that he could play with a torn MCL. He was dressed and wearing a brace today. Kind of miraculous if he can play with that kind of injury.

I don't think it is a good idea either.

The stands filled in pretty good after a few minutes into the first quarter. Sometimes it doesn't look like the crowd is very big but, when you walk around, there are a lot of people at the concessions and walking around the stadium. We should have a huge crowd for the Montana State game.

Some defensive stats:

Meyer: 12 tackles, 11 solo, 2 TFL and 1 INT for 18 yards.

You gotta love that mighty steam engine too!

They're capable of doing it.

I love those helmets!

SACRAMENTO -- The Sac 12 Executive Committee announced new research that shows the value of the Sacramento media market and economy as a benefit as part of their push to join the Pac-12.

The study underscores Sacramento's potential to significantly enhance the Pac-12's footprint, highlighting its would-be position as the second-largest designated market area and the second-largest economy among conference markets.

The report reveals that the Sacramento market would trail only Denver and would boast a median household income of $92,000. In terms of economic strength, Sacramento's real GDP reached $98.9 billion in 2022, surpassing Fresno by 118%. The city has also experienced the highest population growth of any Pac-12 city since 2020.

"The findings of this study, along with our increased fundraising goals, demonstrate that Sacramento State is poised for Pac-12 membership," Sac 12 co-chair Josh Wood said.

The Sac 12 committee also announced a new goal for Name, Image and Likeness funds after surpassing the first $50 million goal by $7 million in six weeks due to 20 donors with ties to Sacramento State or the Sacramento region. Now, the group has its sights set on raising $75 million in NIL funds.

The hope, according to Wood, is the support given to Sacramento State athletes translates to the university's football stadium fundraising goals.
