isn't he required to sit out a year? i thought it was only graduate transfers (like vernon adams a couple years back) that could play immediately, even FCS -> FBS

how'd they look?

i was checking out anygivensaturday.com and read the big sky wrapup there. cookus from NAU was ejected in the 1st quarter for TARGETING! apparently he had a crackback block on a reverse that drew the flag. his replacement, a true freshman, was sacked 7 times as they struggled on offense. wow.

also, EWU's Gage Gabrud has been suspended for the upcoming UND game turning over the position to a freshman. reports are he and another player, a starting LB, were arrested for obstructing a police officer from making an arrest of another person. we need a EWU loss (they finish with Portland) to keep our slim playoff hopes alive.

good to hear.

shows him as the starter in the participation list for the past 3 games, but i don't see any tackles for him since NAU.

i was looking at the stats, and it shows Parenteau as the listed starter, but he has no defensive stats. I don't think he played again. He's been out a pretty long spell here. Love to see him back on the field.

The main reason our budget is so much higher than ISU is because we offer many more sports than they do. Last time I saw a list our football budget was in the top third of the conference. Way below the Montana’s. I think ISU SUU and UNC were at the low end. If you factor California cost of living and the higher cost of a UC-based scholarship, you’d expect to be on the high side. I’d like to see a list of budgets with scholarship costs omitted to get a good picture on what being spent on the programs

couldn’t agree more! 6-5 with a California sweep would be great, but 7-4 would be a huge first step back.

Honestly at the beginning of the season I didn’t see 5 sure wins on the schedule. I didn’t expect the drop off in Portland, Poly and Dakota, but with all the new pieces and the recent history another 2-9 or 3-8 was my unspoken thought. Glad to be proven wrong!

I think they might take 4 Big Sky teams. With so many teams bunched up toward the top, we’d need some help. SUU, Weber and NAU are 5-1. EWU Montana Sac and MSU are next at 4-2. MSU plays NAU play each other next week, the others (beside SUU!) should cruise. So even if we upset SUU, there would be 6 or 7 teams ahead. The final week has MSU v Montana and Weber v NAU, so not much help there.

So don’t think so. Weber or NAU will be 8-1 and the other 6-2. EWU 6-2. Then a possible logjam at 5-3 . Montana winning out to finish 6-2 would be bad. Win out and get some upset help from someone like Dakota. We’d need EWU to fold so we could leap over them

I couldn’t much of the field on the reverse so I don’t know what we might have gained if their end didn’t make a really good play. We have occasionally used the fly action as play action to open a back side pass but haven’t seen it as decoy much. That makes predictable. Surprised we didn’t see any wildcat. Went to I-formation once in red zone sucessfully

Kay’s was very good. He was unstoppable on that deep cross which opened up the run game. Tough receiver with great hands. Doss is faster and makes unreal athletic catches. I tend to think of the current era as Aggie Stadium so Tony was just prior. Charlie Enos was fun to watch as was Michael Olivia.

Chris Carter was awfully good but Doss does so many things well. And he has size.

I thought we’d win but not with this score. We weren’t that sharp but bengals really helped with bad penalties and that first half turnover. Once it was three scores it seemed safe. When they went to backup QB it was over. Did he walk out in solidarity for kicker? Their announcers didn’t have much insight. A sweep is NOT a fly sweep. We haven’t used a snap count all year. Study. Makes you appreciate marsh and kelly’s preparation for our opponents

Not according to Siri


That -3 in the fourth quarter was impressive

Didn’t Roman mention me? Without laughing?

No sign of Spencer all game, correct? Even in first and goal from short

This was much easier than I expected. Their penalties hurt and that early turnover also. Losing their QB ended any chance.

So is Doss the best Aggie WR EVER?

Oddly enough they’ve outgained us in first half. That long drive got them three. Fumble gave us short field. Need d to regroup since they get kickoff. Keep it three score game as long as possible

I purposely excluded Dunnigan due to the closing of Bill and Kathy’s. The loss of such an icon can bode well for our quest. First the
Milk tree then Mr B’s and now Bill and Kathy’s

best i can tell, multiple voting is allowed (encouraged?). facebook post said limited to once/hour.

we'd have to win the tournament to get a NCAA bid, correct? we haven't been in for quite some time (2008 if not mistaken).
