This searingly critical opinion piece from the Sac Bee gets it right:

We are so damn lucky to have him here with other programs throwing that kind of money at him. This speaks volumes about what the rich tradition and values of the Aggie football program mean to him. IMO, this place is as good as it gets...Aggie Pride baby!

I wonder if Wood’s mouth is going to run wild on the week before the causeway. — agalum

Yes, I think you can be assured of that if he's still the president after all of the negative attention he is bringing to the university.

It looks like the crowd of people watching this melee found it entertaining:

..."If I was their president, I'd be more worried about the riot that occurred at their stadium after the game than taunting Montana"...double ouch!

I get that. I'm sure they're plan is just as you noted...to get more students and young people to the games and hope they watch a little football as well, find that it was fun and maybe come back to another game. The risk is just what happened though. There's a likelihood that it will attract some thugs who could care less about the game and end up stirring up trouble. It isn't just Sac; it could happen anywhere but, of course, big cities will be more risky.

From a post on the Hornets Football Forum regarding the fight:

During the game, maybe late second quarter? There was a noticeable murmur in the crowd, you could see a handful of idiots. Then the PA played “Why can’t we be friends?”

Our group - 16 including kids left before Yachty. But I was told that the community concerns were not another fight, but females exposing themselves and other acts happening on the field.

This looks like the target demographic from the marketing I've seen (heavy on the hot air / sh*t talk). — SochorField

I'm sure as hell glad this year's game is in Davis...

Will Plough be in consideration for this job as well?

That worries me that Sac fans may be buying up the tickets fast...

A Montana loss is better for us I guess but, man, the way they are going about doing things over at Sac and the constant hyperbole from Dr Wood really puts me off so I'm a Montana fan for this game.

It's hard to believe that Dr. Wood would talk that much smack about Montana coming to Sac next week:

"We're looking forward to playing the Montana Pandas, oh, I'm sorry, Grizzlies I mean...but. let's be real, they haven't played nobody (sic) this season...I feel sorry for their fans to have to come here and play before the biggest crowd we've ever had and experience a loss like that on the road..."

Talk about bulletin board material! I will say this though, he has not and will not temper the hyperbole come win or lose. Like he has said over and over again, "We're FBS or Bust" and, even if he ends up with egg on his face, he's not going to change his tune and it is most certainly creating a buzz among Hornet fans...
