It looks like I'll be ponying up for $6.99/month or 69.99/year for ESPN+.

Thanks for your service, 69aggie, I served also.

Hunter Rodriques on the CFPA preseason watch list:

DAVIS, Calif. -- UC Davis junior quarterback Hunter Rodrigues earned one of 44 spots on the College Football Performance Awards preseason watch list for its 2021 FCS National Performer of the Year Trophy, the organization announced Monday.

A human development major from Rocklin, California, Rodrigues took over the role as starting quarterback during the Aggies' shortened five-game season last spring. He completed 78 of 119 passes for 65.5 percent completion percentage, while totaling 931 yards and eight touchdown passes against four interceptions. Rodrigues ranked third in the Big Sky Conference with a 146.7 passer rating, and was bestowed with the team's Jerry Norris Award as the most valuable and inspirational player of the year.

Rodrigues is one of three Big Sky players on the CFPA watch list, along with Eastern Washington quarterback Eric Barriere and Weber State running back Josh Davis. The winner of the FCS National Performer of the Year will be announced on January 12, 2022.

I think we may have been scrambling late for a game to fill the opening left when the anticipated home game with Arkansas State didn't materialize. They decided to play at Illinois near the date which they were reportedly coming out to Davis. The Academy of Art may have been the only game we could get at that point.

It's not out yet, Mike. I like the double-headers also. Jen Gross has built a solid WBB program and they're fun to watch.

All of those articles about Jake are great. They really highlight his confidence and work ethic. He was certainly one of the all-time, great Aggie QB's and that's a pretty elite club. I hope he has continued success!

Calgary hangs on to win 28-22. Vernon Adams nearly got Montreal the win in the final seconds but came up one yard short as time expired.

Jake was 16 of 29 for 304 yards with a long of 83, 1 TD and 2 picks. Pretty darn good for his first CFL game!

Vernon Adams was 20 of 42 for 261 yards, 2 TD's and 1 pick.

3/5 for CSUF makes sense. They just listed it wrong on the schedule. The double header with the women in the Golden 1 Center is great. Very cool that the women get to play there also.

There is an error in the schedule. It has us playing at Fullerton and at Hawaii on Saturday, February 5th. I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen! I sent an email to the Athletics Department alerting them to the error.

I'd rather not play these D3 and NAIA games. I think it's hard for the Ags to be mentally up for games like that while those teams are fired up to upset the Aggies. There's not much to gain with a win and a lot to lose. The loss to the Academy of Art shocked the Aggies and the fans as well.

Several games changed from what was being cited and anticipated. Arkansas State cancelled in order to play at Illinois and the Whitman College game was dropped at the last moment. I'm not crazy about the Academy of Art game...it brings back bad memories!

The Ags will host D3 Whitman College (Walla Walla, Washington) on November 11.

I just noticed a new player on the men's roster:

Patrick Lambey 6'5 190 Junior Forward out of Granite Bay HS and Yuba College.

She transferred to Point Loma University in San Diego which is her hometown:

Yikes...Coach Les has said, "Never let your team be lacking guards," bit I'm sure Jen has it covered. One of the new recruits, Marley Langi, a 6 foot wing could be very, very good.

Long Beach State has released their 2021-22 schedule. The Beach will come to Davis on January 29 and the Ags will go to Long Beach on March 3.

A Utah Statesman article is reporting that UC Irvine is at Utah State on November 9th. It was previously reported that the Aggies were playing at USU on November 9th. So, at this point, I don't don't know if the paper made a mistake and the Ags are at USU or the previous report was wrong and Irvine is at USU on November 9th.

I wonder if Dixon felt like he may not get that much playing time right away with Gilliam and Larison ahead of him?
