I wonder if we negotiated the payout before SMU joined the ACC. Payout is in line with non-Power 4, and even some with big boys

Our payout for this game is $460k which seems a little on the low side for a Power4 opponent two time zones away.

I was hoping that they would delay the game to tonight, giving them one less day of rest!

i have regular ACC on my comcast (yeah, i still have cable) but its not showing our game. I have a feeling this game may follow the script of Washington with us sitting guys, and them running it up for the voters.....so......probably not going to try too hard to find an viewing option.

one thing i noticed about Kollock on Saturday was that he didn't seem to handle the snap cleanly on every play. Maybe just anxious after sitting on the bench for 3+ hours.

I don't expect Rex before EWU.

When I’m at games I try to pick the brains of guys much more knowledgeable than me. Talked to Biggs in pregame and Lou Bronzon late in the game. I think Lou summed things things up well when he opined ‘lots of pretty girls down here’

The USD dance troop, all 25 of them, deserve much more airtime and a much bigger audience than they are getting.

3:55 game time. Seemed like the game management by officials and sideline folks was really slow. Thank goodness it was a 7:00 kickoff!

4700 folks at Torero Stadium. After roadies at ISU and Poly, I doubt they will get close to that for their next afternoon home game In October(!)

We can be explosive on offense but we seem to make it hard on ourselves with penalties or mistakes. Seemed like Cleeland faced a ton of 3 and longs that he converted. Really need to get the run game rolling especially on first down.

Special teams are much improved and VERY aggressive. They need to clean up things, though, in terms of penalties.

Mac’s is a local treasure.

I grew up on the New Mecca Cafe in Pittsburg, CA. Hard to top. From their bio :

‘ The restaurant became a regular clubhouse caterer for the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants, and even provided food for players and staff at the MLB All-Star Games when they were in The City ('84) and in Oakland ('87)! Having also served food for the 49ers and Golden State Warriors,’

The Chilaquiles there are like nothing I’ve ever had anywhere else

Looking back, USD opened with poly the last two years drawing around 5700 folks. Stadium capacity is only 6000. I doubt we’ll be close to that but higher than the last couple afternoon visits (around 2000)

the weather this weekend is the best that I’ve experienced. The margarita guy in fiesta Reyes said this has been their best Friday all summer.

Margaritas and a mariachi band playing ‘Freebird’ on a beautiful night? Don’t get much better.

A win will be nice.

They drew about 5700 last year when they opened at home vs Poly for a 5:00 kickoff. Might be a decent crowd tomorrow.

I’m kinda rocks and sugar guy

it just seemed obvious what was coming….until he play faked and hit the big pass

we’re in old town at Fairfield inn. Decent place. Good location

I will say…the weather in San Diego right now is beautiful!

it seemed like they ran the outside stretch play exclusively from under center …..until he faked and threw the long pass to the TE that set up the second TD.

All home games plus San Diego.

that was the second game at the new stadium. First game was the 110-degree day game vs W. Washington. For Northeastern? Overcast with a slight drizzle, high of 60 degrees! I think they disbanded the football team after that season

away from Old Town, we really like Prado inside Balboa Park, especially out on the patio. Love strolling around museums there before/after dinner. That’s our destination Thursday.
