I think he’s referring to the stadium layout not location. That’s another horrible aspect to Viking stadium - the location.

when I played, out games vs Northridge State were Devonshire Downs, an old horse track. One set of bleachers with a wide track between that and the field. Horrible lighting (maybe horses have better night vision than me). What a dump

no pun intended?

think back to the 49ers vs Raven Super Bowl with power outage. Almost got the Niners a big comeback win

Pinnack looks tenative right now.

1900. End zones were empty.

Soccer is finally over snd settling in to watch 2nd half. Fun listening!

Big crowd in Portland! Yikes

I have a feeling we open the Pinnack era the way we did the Jake Maier era - long pass right out the gate.

odds I see show us by either 3.5 or 4.5. Some of the analysts suggest either not betting on the game, or taking Mercer and points

Somebody at our alumni zoom asked about Carrillo -> sounds like they think he could be back late, be able to play 4 games (like the TE last year) and then request a medical redshirt. They are concerned that could be turned down, thus burning the year. Sounds like something the compliance folk have to work out late in the year.

i thought their olympic sports were heading to the Big West?

he mentioned a couple guys that were injured at the scrimmage and were out but i didn't get names (probably were nicknames that I'm not familiar with).

I'll have to skip the viewing party on Saturday -> youth soccer kicks off saturday and the last (or 4) grandkid games starts at 4:00. I'll listen and then catch more of the game on TV while a bunch of them probably end up in our pool.

from what Plough was saying, Pinnack’s numbers in camp made it the obvious (but still tough) choice. Especially the percentage of explosives plays. They track and analyze every competitive scrimmage play.

we’ve been paying a Team Aggie fee for tickets for years. The new wrinkle is that it is now per seat instead of a single fee. But, if I understand, the seat fees will be applied to your whole donation (as the current fee is now). I’m not sure how doing it this way will increase folks donations unless it’s just how the money is allocated - I donate an amount that gets me to the level I want minus the ticketing fee. There are several changes to the perks that may get folks to raise their total donation up in a significant manner.

the idea of repurposing the horse track into a large concert venue makes sense; making it into a combo concert venue/football stadium is an interesting idea and maybe the only practical approach considering the financial state of the CSU system and the state.

I think this sounds like a good option, if feasible. Plenty of parking. I don't think being off campus is a big deal -> it will be harder for freshmen who live on campus to get to games, most students (i'd think) would be driving regardless of location.

I agree - I think my wife would have signed up for that trip!

sounds better than Tulsa a few years back

He also mentioned the battle at punter has been tight. The good news is that boy guys are putting up Daniel Whelan numbers at practice - expecting a BIG improvement in that area.
