• Bison QB goes #3 to the 49ers
    6'3", 320, speed in a low crouch, and summer workouts w propane tanks & water jugs.

    "The unconventional workouts also enhanced Meinerz’s functional strength. He couldn’t lift as much weight in traditional exercises, but he felt stronger on the field. He was sturdier in awkward positions, and his wrists and forearms could push defenders."
  • Bison QB goes #3 to the 49ers
    That would be great. I also just learned he started one season... so 12, 13 completions a game, 170 yards per (roughly), no picks, 16-0, opponents had no preseason tape on him (like Jake Maier). (15 of 30 w 1 pick in their one game this year.)

    Sounds like he and his family made the wise choice to cash in on 16-0... how many years guaranteed does a #3 pick get? I see Garoppolo has a $25M contract per year, but not guaranteed.

    Can he make the transition from FCS to NFL? Bigger & faster defenses.

    Correct. Subjective?

    Major league baseball (and others) didn't help themselves by taking a knee for the mob. Angering 40-50% of your fans is a very poor decision.

    Meanwhile, executives and players like Lebron back Communist China ... who hold Millions of ethnic slaves in 'reeducation' prisons.

    Imagine now. I don't think the MSM covers it much, but writer / blogger Andy Ng (?) does, and certain sections look like a war zone. Apparently most of the politicians support what is going on in one way or another (staying quiet). How can businesses survive?

    Didn't something similar happen to the Cal Aggie Marching Banda endowment?
  • Give Day
    It's the opposite of strength and leadership.

    Dobbins Stadium started with Aggie players themselves manually completing some of the preliminary stages in the 1980s. Phil Swimley worked tirelessly, for no extra pay, along with Ralph Rago (sp?) and other community members, donating tens of thousands of hours. Have women's coaches ever done this type of labor?
  • HC records - Biggs, Gould & Hawkins
    Updated, w Gould's 3 last years.

    By winning percentage.

    Hawkins 23-18 (.561) .......16-13 (.552)
    Biggs .....20-24 (.455) .......10-10 (.500)
    Gould .....12-33 (.267) .......10-22 (.312)
    RG-3 yrs....7-26 (.212) .........5-19 (.208)

    Gould had QBs Randy Wright, Ben Scott, and the experiment with Jimmy Laughrea (Marsh compared to Ken O'Brien).

    Have we ever had a 'serviceable' QB take us to the playoffs?
  • Give Day
    Yeeez. I recall the Dobbins family made a sizable donation to finish the baseball stadium, and the campus sat on the money for a long time, maybe years ... one insider claimed the money was being held up due to gender equity politics. My understanding is that the family said, 'Build it, or we want the $$$ back'. In the meantime, construction costs reportedly spiked, so what we could build and add (lights?) was reduced.

    ManZan was a blessing and a curse.

    Former Berkeley AD Sandy Barbour, w Teresa Gould as a top aide, put Berkeley under mammoth debt and they may cut multiple sports. $100+ Million budget, and Under Armour canceled contracts w them and UCLA.

    The interpretation of gender equity is also hurting Olympic sports, especially w the over representation of female students (upwards of 60% on many campuses). Young men are hurting.
  • HC records - Biggs, Gould & Hawkins
    It's not speed to the hole... its speed through the hole.

    The irony is Gould's best year (#1), he was playing w Biggs' team.

    I recall high school and wannabe coaches predicting the play calls from the stands, typically handoff up the middle. When he brought WR Hemmingsen in, odds were 95% pass play. CJ Spencer leading a comeback effort at SLO, and HC opts for a meaningless FG.

    "Phenomenal". I recall a football alum claiming in recruiting, we were being a bit arrogant. Good man. Not wise to promote a long term position coach to HC.

    I took Biggs last 4 years for symmetry.

  • 2021 Spring Playoffs
    Good point. I'm referring to passing yards per game, off 26% or 38% (withdraw SLO blowout #s). No Montanas next fall, but still a tough league.
  • 2021 Spring Playoffs
    Astute points. I watched most of the games this year, though not every play. The fly sweep seemed to work, and we had some dynamite additions in Hutton, Larison, TT & Castles. On the defensive side, Buchanan & Maae.

    Rodriguez & TT are very mobile, and we seemed to throw ocassionally 10 yards deeper than Maier routes. But not deep strikes, and few trick plays beyond Wildcat. Run production way up, passing game 20-30% off. Clock mgmt issues, didn't see the uptempo pace that shocked the Spartans. We haven't learned how to win big games. Unsure why Eaton less of a factor. 5 picks, 8 fumbles.

    Maybe we attack the Big Sky w 2-3 QBs. Getting Erron Duncan and Josiah Suani back would be huge.
  • 2021 Spring Playoffs
    I believe we're still rebuilding from Maier & Doss.
