Panicked for a moment because my Roku remote stopped working and I couldn't turn the stream off

If we're not aggressive when it matters then I don't attach much significance into being aggressive sometimes.

Based on what I'm seeing, my opinion -- and this is just my opinion, I'm not a football expert -- is that Hawkins took advantage of some low-hanging fruit (grabbed a good underrated QB, switched to the pass-first offense, etc) without correcting all the subtler issues the team has been having.

I hope I'm wrong and/or we're trending upwards, but we'll see next year and the year after.

SUU is putting up a highlight reel.

I'm starting to really sour on Hawk or at least withholding judgment for a few years.. This is still not a good football team, and I think that fact has been obscured somewhat by having some decent individual talent and a different offense.

Maybe things are changing, but we're still at the same win total that Gould had his first season. And a lot of the same problems are still there, except for injuries.

I was more commenting on that particular drive where they stopped the big play until, well, it happened.

Why has our tackling been so consistently bad among multiple staffs?

Defense actually seems a little improved, SUU has to really fight for yards. It's chewing up clock though

Probably for the best that nobody's seeing this

Didn't catch who's being interviewed right now but his comment "obviously we're not going to outspend a lot of people" rubbed me the wrong way.

We have the biggest endowment and probably richest alumni base of the conference. At some point we have to look at how we can get to the point where we're outspending everybody.

Edit/Addition -- also this season is way more frustrating than Goulds' because we're pretty much at the known peak of Aggie D1 football -- I can't see us having more talented skill players or more experienced coaches anytime soon. So if this team somehow can't put together consistent respectable performances I'm not optimistic that it'll ever happen.

The thing about Davis Football is like, I get it, we won't recruit the top talent in the conference and every once in a while we'll just get outgunned by some team that's just bigger and faster. But that just makes coaching and technique errors even less excusable. There's no room for error against good teams like SUU.

forcing a 3-and-out would be really great here, we have 3 timeouts and everything

We're not even playing not to lose, just outright playing to lose.

Ah yes. I remember reading that a lot of the starters came from the same original recruiting class so she might be the only one.

Also I noticed Karley Eaton seems to be getting a bigger role and saw significant minutes at PG. I wonder if the plan is to start both Eatons next year and do some dual-PG shenanigans, or if she'll stay on the bench and swap back and forth with Kourtney.

Seems like Coach Gross has a knack for finding players who can contribute right away. I think every single one of the current starters got plenty of reps as freshmen, though I forget which ones redshirted. No shortage of experience and consistency with this group.

91-76 final. Got a little chippy at the end but the outcome was never really in doubt after a few minutes into the 2nd. This is a good basketball team.

First four baskets for UCD were all threes I think. Really opened up the scoring.

I've noticed Hall has some very quick passes.

52-34 at the half. Aggies look to have a sold hold on the game.

24-17 UCD at the end of the 1st quarter. WSU defense is looking decent inside but the Ags are hitting threes and drawing fouls.

Though MBB, Football, and I guess MSOC are catching up I feel like WBB has quietly been the class of the UCD spectator sports for the last few years -- quality student-athletes, near the top of the conference in attendance, good academic ratings, home games against top programs, multiple postseason runs, and now finally consistent performance on the court.

Even then though, having the same recruiting class from a few years back produce four of the top players in the conference including possibly the top 2 overall is outright insanity.

Forgive my lack of experience, because I've never seen the fly before this year, but my understanding of it was that it has a secondary goal of spreading the defense out and forcing them to cover another option on each play. (Effectively making it the equivalent of the FB dive in the option offense -- the QB can hand it off at the start of any play so the D has to be aware of it at all times.)

In that regard I'm kind of witholding judgement on whether it's working out or not, because we can't exactly redo all the big plays that started with play action to the fly sweep guy to see how they would have worked out otherwise. I really should be looking at the defense during those plays but like DrMike said, that's hard in practice.

That being said I still wish we could break off a big run off the fly sweep at least a few times a game.

Usually he would be required but exceptions are granted for certain reasons, I think personal like sickness in the family but maybe others as well. Eddie Vanderdoes got his penalty waived when he signed with Notre Dame but enrolled at UCLA for example.
