Oh 10000% percent

That’s outstanding news. I’m sure that was difficult it to accomplish; great job to whomever pushed this through.

Best case scenario for this coming Sunday is that three out of the four remaining teams are all from the Big Sky.

Despite the dorm issues and the worries about moderate to low attendance...these are problems I'd rather have than traveling to Fargo.

I consider December already blessed in Davis...and the little bit of weather on the horizon isn't slated to come in until next week.

Going to open it up, because while we focus on our own campus and the Ascent plan, here's a recent clip of the facilities at The University of North Dakota. It's good to see what other teams have and to constantly use that as a measuring stick. Of note, UND is also an Adidas sponsored Football Team, also noticed that in some of their better facilities they let local businesses put up their signs/artwork and have it integrated into the facility skins, which to me is kind of tacky. The Hawk Walk is ingenious, if you've spent any time in the north central region from December to February you know how impossible it can feel to move around sometimes when it's sub 20 degrees and the wind is blowing, that's super smart.

lmao they used the clips from the clowns on the Hack City Podcast for crying over the seeding. That is fantastic.

You know what I love about these podcasts? They are simple and fun. It reminds me so much of the 80's and 90's college football before it blew up to whatever it is now.

love the sound bites

Dr. Mike makes a good point; this thread has strayed from its original subject which was about Coach Marion's ("surprise!") departure for another position elsewhere. However I wanted to reply to Kadeezy's note about Dr. Wood's announcement regarding the addition of class sections. That is good news because after all is said and done the primary mission of schools in the UC and CSU systems is to educate.

I am sure the Sac State community can rely on what Dr. Wood has told them.

Welcome to the board. Last week the student crowd was awesome. Hopefully some students can show up this week. Enjoy your well deserved break.

Can the problem be solved externally? - Yes. Should the problem exist in the first place? - No.

For as much joy as coaches and professors may find, mid-level bureaucrats in areas like student affairs and student housing have found none, long suffering from stubborn policy absolutism. Hopefully they can find what joy is.

Speaking of the MW (not related to football), 3 of the top 5 teams in the conference right now for basketball will still be in next year (not leaving for the pac-12) and attendance numbers look really good compared to the Big West. Exciting stuff.

I get that. I saw the interview. These guys are speculating though. Rocko 'aint keeping secrets with these two knuckleheads.

Ty is interesting. If he graduated from Tufts in two years and is working on a grad degree already, that is freaking impressive. Perhaps he has one season remaining? If anyone knows or can figure it out, let us know. The top Corner comment is debatable but I am not interested in furthering that conversation. We would all love to see #3 on one side and #11 on the other again in 2026!

I’m curious abbot Ty Richardson. Is he in a one year grad program?
This is only his third year of playing, so he still has eligibility. According to ESPN crew coaches rated him the top corner.
Maybe he should get a PhD here. He could probably crack that out in another semester or two. :lol:

I was more posting this curious about NDSU…. I don’t even think it would be the worst thing if they moved up for the subdivision, more year in and year out competition

When he speaks, or I read his quotes, it sounds like Charlie Brown adults to me.

Make it a Weekend at Bermies!

President Luke Wood’s messages to students, faculty, and staff.

150+ new sections being added for spring

November 20, 2025 - We are pleased to share that thanks to the tireless advocacy of campus leaders, the Chancellor’s Office has recognized Sacramento State's dedicated efforts to increase enrollment and improve retention. They have acknowledged our persistent requests for additional support to help us navigate the fiscal challenges that this complex enrollment situation has created.

To universities that successfully increased enrollment or invested in student retention, the Chancellor’s Office has provided a one-time allocation to campuses that exceeded their 2024–25 enrollment goals and funded levels. Sacramento State has met that mark and will be receiving this allocation.

In light of this recognition, I am excited to share that we will be adding 157 new course sections to the Spring schedule, opening up 4,199 seats for students. We are able to create this expansion because of the faculty, staff, and academic departments that have demonstrated significant commitment to supporting student success and timely graduation.

To our faculty and staff, thank you for all that you do for our students.

that HAD to be cold sitting on that grass. Ah, youth!

The Bermites were late arriving on Saturday night, but there were some hard core kids and families doing their thing out there in the second half. Balls were flying, bodies were rolling at high speed down the berm, a few little dudes were strutting their stuff when the scoreboard went Flex Cam. Great scene!!!

Plough referred to Dixon as one of the, if not the, best leader the Ags have had since he's been associated with Davis. Also, a really bright kid -> scholar-athlete of the year for the team last year, about to get his MBA. Future is bright for Mitch!

I just got an email that all Junior Aggie members will be admitted for free (someone must have donated to cover them, because they weren't free last week), so maybe we'll get from more berm families out there on Saturday.

I'm OK if they underestimate us. I'm surprised we can even show up. /s

You hit it on the nail. From a business perspective, Caden and Drew’s youth makes them attractive but nothing about their measurables pop out. Gbatu’s film pops a bit more but you’re getting him for a year.

New: Mountain West likely to add 3 football members. NDSU, Tarlton and UC Davis noted as the 3 schools most likely to be added (according to direct university sources as reported by TBM).

That's a big one! He's the best of the group, and Simpson has been very impressive at times. Love the edge that Williams plays with, brings a little nasty to the TE position. Good group of young TEs coming up, will be interesting to see who emerges. May also be a Portal position to address with as much 12 personnel that Plough uses.

What about a Fullback? Any suspects on the roster? I hate seeing us on 3rd down inside the 3 yard line in the Shotgun.

that's awesome. we should 100% get something going. as a student i can guarantee you the kids are looking for fun before games. biggs has been a great spot with a lot of welcoming people this season, had a lot of fun there before games.

i know this is off-topic, but am i the only one who thought the guy with the giant gold chain and URI logo was classless? i've always thought showboating with team jewelry just makes your program look like trash.

This would be awesome!
