most exciting 48 minutes of football I saw at Aggie Stadium. Great game from start to incredible finish.

There have been some success stories out there, many of them were guys (like Bibby) who point guards. Some have had success at one place, but failed in others -> like Reggie Theus. Obviously, institutional support is big....and with the portal, that name recognition seems like it can be useful especially in building up a program.

as to the Mike Bibby statement, obviously you’ve forgotten the college coaching careers of Patrick Ewing and Chris Mullin!

Oh wait….I see your point

Omer is not afraid to shoot! There must be another highlight clip with his 2.4 assists.

Fun to have a long range shooter!

this is what I’ve read:

A few articles mention the zero week start, but you might be correct that there may be years or ways to still start week one.

permanent-ish?

I'm not a big fan of the idea of 'week 0' becoming the new week 1. Late August kickoff in Davis with no students -> that's a money making idea! 'Free Misting Fans to the first 2000 fans; free Icee's to the 5 students who decide to show up'

thank you!

As of today, it looks like we have 11 games set for 2026. Preseason of (at)San Diego, (at) SMU and home against the Mad Hatters of Stetson. Although, I guess the Sac State game that year won't be a Big Sky game.

that is odd. unless its a season with 12 games, that only leaves 2 out of conference games. unless the long term plan is moving forward from the NCAA is that FCS will always have 12 games.

i'm really happy he made a couple of buckets. It was good to see him get more meaningful playing time in Vegas.

TY scored 5 tonight but, apparently, left the game with bloody head injury.

Looks like he is going to play in Greece is what the Euros are calling a major move:

I feel for him. There were games last year when he just couldn't get the ball to go through the hoop. I'm glad he's getting some decent playing time -> might lead to a nice landing spot somewhere in Europe.

Ask Darius if anyone had ever list the hidden balls under the three hat game. I contest they win every time because there is a ball (horseshoe?) under all 3 hats!

we have to have a big non-student attendance increase since that’s revenue. But, I agree, more students means a better game time atmosphere which, one hopes, rings more paying fans

No minutes again last night. Looks like they have a 16-man roster, and about 5-6 don't get off the bench. I was watching here and there last night while killing time while my wife was playing slots - the play was, to be charitable, very ragged. Lots of one-on-one action. Hopefully, they practice a bit between this tournament and the next -> get TY some exposure to higher level play.

3 minutes, 2 points and 2 rebounds

box score shows a DNP - coaches decision

with SEC schools set to pay roughly $15M (estimates I’ve been reading) to their football players AND trying to suppress the NIL system, what’s the incentive to NOT sign with one of the 2-3 major conferences. The lure of FBS independent football? Weird

from an Enterprise article that talks about his experience playing in Japan:

'Replacing Randy Wright after UCD opened 0-2, Laughrea was managing a 10-7 lead against visiting Northern Arizona before the Lumberjacks picked off two of his passes — returning each for long, fourth-quarter touchdowns and a 21-10 victory.

Laughrea started one more game for the Aggies (a 41-10 loss to Portland State) before Gould handed the reins back to Wright.'

I remember we were SO desperate for success back then that Scott Marsh was gushing at halftime of the NAU game. He was interviewing Sochor and tried to get his input on our new QB, and added some mention of Ken O'Brien. I think Sochor nicely said something like 'let's pump the brakes a bit.' Boy, that was a dark era for Aggie fans.
