thanks; I assumed Tennessee was 3hours ahead.

Playing 3 Friday night games and a 11:00 kickoff is no way to find a champion. Austin Peay of Tennessee played a 9:00 (eastern) game in Sac, and then a Friday night in Bozeman. That’s not an easy itinerary for a small college. I know all these teams had good defenses but I wonder if the schedule had a big impact on scoring?

that UCSD and I don’t think that officially starts until something like 2024 (transitioning up to D1).

USD is in the wcac

Good test tonight. These guys are 1-2 v BWC teams, so good barometer. Tough coming out of finals week with a tough road games. Could use a Holy Names warmup

Bobcats dominating statistically but only up 10-3 at the half. Never keep an underdog around. Although it’s not like MSU is lighting it up. Their TD was a 60 yard run. I wasn’t overly impressed by their offense. Against us, they scored on an bomb (frosh QB’s only one of the year) and the long run on the wildcat that looked like a broken play

I’m probably missing some of the economics here but Colorado State built an on campus stadium of the same size for $220 million. Seems like $15 USA drop in the bucket, especially since this is California

I had forgotten we have the Cal TE transferring in

I plan to be there. I believe the emphasis is on getting guys signed for this early date

he’s on the ESPN list on their NCAAF page. Pretty sure it’s the one linked above (that link didn’t work for me). It matches with the spots listed for Pete, Patterson and Sochor

he’s 99 on the list

Hard to understand how Belotti DIDN'T make the list. He brought Oregon to national significance.

At the Team Aggie basketball pregame, AgAlum and I were sitting with some long time football folk. Pete's name came up with regard to his stepping down, and everybody at the table gushed about him as a coach and person. Then, another top 150 coach, Chris Ault, was brought up. Not a whole bunch of positive gushing about him!

3-2 would be a hell of a finish. USD is the only team I can see us beating on the road

i agree this this assessment, although last year's team seemed to be the outlier. kept waiting for them to make their big run, and it never happened.

i like this group this year. they have a few guys that can put it on the floor and create a shot/draw a foul, as well as a few guys how can hit the 3's. the FT shooting is better than i remember in some time. And, our rebounding has been at mostly even in all the games. Defense has been solid

Hawkins turned down Tumey once; i doubt he'd a second offer at Fresno.

That would be a good hire. Follows the ‘Troy Taylor’ path, although Troy’s move might have been preemptive since Wittingham has a history of getting rid of OC’s. Should be an easy transition going from the rigorous academic standards at EWU to Poly. :wink:

we were trying to get some insights Saturday at the basketball game and nothing doing! There are going to be a slew of QB’s in spring, some mobile and some more stationary.

I was driving home from Arnold Thursday and was listening to KTHK. Jason Ross was in for Napier so the subject of Sac State wasn’t forbidden (Napier can be a dick about that; why not put them up?). They were really excited about hosting two games, potentially, and were hoping they could get close to a full stadium even with the weather. That’s too bad.

Any idea what attendance was at Sac? Bee said ‘small crowd’ which is too bad after the run they had. Weather wasn’t too bad although the forecasts were dire. I was disappointed we didn’t fill up our stadium last year and we didn’t have weather as an excuse

Was Dotson hurt? They ran the ball 19 times. Thomson 13 times, Dotson once. Thomson had 30 yards passing in the first half, 275 in the second. Kind of like our game, except Peay moved the ball

Fun game. Huge improvement from Sac game. I like that we have some guys who can take it to the hoop and try to create shots. Important when the 3’s cool off. I liked the contributions from guys like Squire and Fuller on both ends. Pepper had a couple key offensive rebounds that kept them from clawing back in. I really enjoyed watching tonight

I’m coming up, hopefully for not-terrible weather. Looking forward to seeing a change from Sac game. 4 point underdogs which seems about right based on records. We’re coming off 3 strong games, they just lost to St Mary’s
