Would love to beat these guys.....

A little late on this......
I'm pretty sure sports fans (and non-sports fans) across the country know "Cal" is Berkeley. IMO the rebranding is little ridiculous.

As far as UCD, I really like the CA logo..and I love the script "Davis" on the football helmets and across the front of a sweatshirt. Its unique. There is no other "Davis" out there. It works well as an academic logo and athletics logo.

I'm digging the midcourt logo

My guess is it took a couple of losing years to get through the defections from the FBS-to-FCS transition. Now they have a recruiting advantage over other Big Sky teams with their "FBS level" facilities. (plus, its probably even easier to get a guy into Idaho than it is Sac!) Just my hunch.

Aggies only had 6 wins last year. I'd have to look at the history, but 7 wins seems to be the minimum for at-large selections.

Something interesting to think about (saw this over on the Any Given Saturday board):

What if Davis and Sac both finish 7-4 (if Davis beats ISU and Sac, and Sac beats Cal Poly and loses to Davis). Who gets in? Davis has the head-to-head victory advantage, but Sac has the Stanford win and weeks in the top-10.

Big Sky probably gets 4 teams this year, so:
Montana (locked)
Montana State (likely)
Idaho (likely)
Sac/Davis

My personal opinion is, if they take 4 its Sac since they were highly ranked all season.

Time to rip off 3 in a row.

Hopefully we get a good crowd.

They played at Hillsborough, right?
I could be mistaken, but THERE ARE NO SEATS ON THE VISITING SIDE OF THE STADIUM. Where is Hawkins supposed to sit? I suppose he could have sat in the endzone, but who wants to sit there? Especially when you can sit anywhere you want (with 2,100 people in attendance)

It wouldn't matter where he sat, he would have heard every word coming from the bench anyway.

If PSU wins that ISU game, I bet we hear nothing about this.

Perhaps a little gamesmanship by Hawkins to get in this guy's thick head..... hahahaha

I'd have to go back and watch it again ......but I feel like Gale dropped 14 points (not TD passes, per say, but easy long completions that would have resulted in TD's or at least some points)

Must win-out for the Ags. Beating PSU, ISU and upsetting Sac gets 'em in @ 7-4 I would say.

I don't know much about PSU, but it looks like this is going to depend on what version we are getting: the Viks that lost to Idaho State at home, or the Viks that beat NAU and EWU.

Hard to believe they haven't been to Aggie Stadium since 2016.

.

Feeling I get from watching the first half.....Aggies a better team, but beating themselves.

If they can clean it up in the second half, they should win by a couple scores.

Jk...I like going

I like kicking here from the 29

Lan Larison is an ABSOLUTE gamechanger.

Doesn't look like he's lost a step either.

Everything looks to be in the top half of the BSC....except for points scored and yards per pass attempt.
I sounds like a broken record, but I don't see the ball being thrown downfield +10 yards as often as in recent seasons. There could be a stat somewhere that proves me wrong.
The offense isn't "dangerous" this year, especially without Lan.

The media/marketing situation has only gotten marginally better since I started following in 2004......and I'm talking hardly any improvement, and it went backward for a few years there too.....

this is a valid point. UG turned so many dump-offs into 10-20 yard gains.

That's a wild stat!

Last stat is pretty alarming. Bennett also completing 66% to Hastings' 64% Bennet same amount of passing TD's and 2 fewer INTs. The guy is 5'10"

This really shows the issues the Ags are have getting the ball downfield this year.
Pretty big drop off from last year. Hastings is going to be well short of last year's stats (TD's, yards, completion %, yards per game).

Average yards per pass [completed?] down from 12 yds to 9......sounds about right.
