This is much better. Wish I would have seen this before ordering the gray one from fanatics

right now, we're listed as 7-point favorites. that's pretty surprising for a 1-6 team. they beat Jacksonville State who is an okay team and Nebraska-Omaha, another okay team. Hawaii beat them by 30 and South Dakota by 16.

i'm probably going to be there around 11:30, buddies are showing up around 12:00 for lunch

in weather underground i trust; it shows < 10% chance of rain in the afternoon. 50 degrees or so. its been pretty steady with that forecast for the last 12 hours or so.

I plan to get there early, after a pit stop at the Plainfield Station. Hang out with AgAlum and Finn at their spot. Wander over to Mike Angius' spot, where there tends to be alot of former players and coaches. Finally finish at the hospitality tent for the final fuel for the day!

If anyone is hanging around town after, I'll be staying downtown trying to find an establishment where i don't feel like a chaperone! suggestions?

the only bad thing about Gonzalez is that i manage to misspell his name about 99% of the time i type it!

two z's!!!

I thought the reemergence of AJ last game was a great site. Takes pressure off Silar, opens up the middle for TJ (he can kick out). Fuller and Gonsalez are both starting to look like contributors. If we can get solid minutes from Mooney and Neufield, good defense and rebounding from Goode, we should be able to win our fair share. Let's hope they put a complete game together tonight.

great news on the weather front. hopefully the 'fair weather fans' will gobble up those last tickets now that it looks dry.

it was easy once i got to Davis....i got there the year AFTER they rescinded the 'no alcohol sales within 1 mile of campus', so buying beer at JJ's or the other liquor store out on Westlane (about 1.01 miles from campus) was really easy!

$25 for a blah gray shirt. I like the ones we sold for basketball much better

i would assume that anyone can visit the food/beer trucks in the student tailgate, but i'm not positive. i thought it said something about showing ID to get into the tailgate. maybe you can do the 'reverse beer buy' -> 'hey kid, can you buy me a beer and pizza?'. like when we were high schools hanging out by a 7-11!

i like weather underground as my source; shows it as 20% chance, but less than 10% chance at game time. 52 degrees at kickoff.

the over/under on you getting your cowbell taken by security is 1:00 into the 1st quarter.

as an aside...i have a friend who has some special needs. he and his buddy love going to the high school football/basketball games. i gave them a ride home the other night from the playoff game and just as i was about to hit the gas, the guy in the back starts clanging his cowbell. about drove off the road. so, you'll be in good company!

as a second aside.....do you remember when my son was sitting with us and brought a duck call of some sort? the guy in front of us (who hasn't shown up more than twice in past 3 years) was CLEARLY not amused! i think he ratted Brian out to security!

From watching the press conference clips, I like their coach. Comes across as an honest, down-to-earth coach. In the clip where he was talking about Doss, its the first time I have ever heard an opposing coach talk about an opponent's high character. That was kind of cool.

tickets were purchased and will be distributed to students, first come first serve.

i was reading on a FCS fans facebook page that their defense is really hurting with injuries. LB's and DB's. That would be huge for our pass game. We will need to get a decent run game going, which wil be a challange against their front 7. I thought they looked pretty solid vs. Lamar.

NCAA regulation. I mentioned on a FCS board prices for our game and someone said ‘you must have a sponsor buying them because NCAA doesn’t allow free tickets for playoffs’ . From what I gleaned from that board, Aggies were the only students getting in free ! And they have a hosted tailgate!

Some interesting changes for this game since it’s officially hosted by the NCAA. Parking in lot 56 is limited only to Team Aggie donors (only one spot, and has to be person on the list), because ESPN and NCAA needs a good chunk for parking. No stadium club hospitality-> NCAA taking it over for merchandise and other ‘experiences’. I think announcement today that ASUCD is paying for students is due to NCAA rules against ‘free’ tickets.

I’ll be there earlier than normal for a good parking spot and soak up the atmosphere

i just saw on Facebook that there is a student tailgate starting at 1:30. Free entry, food trucks, free pepsi products. music. $2 woodstock pizza. $3 beer. if they can't be bothered to come over for THAT, there may be no hope.
