"Our stated goal going into games this year is to throw it to him 20 times a game." - Coach Dan Hawkins

Now the Mountain Hawks ... I prefer Engineers.

I've said and heard Lee-high.

Great to have, I'm assuming the Engineers aren't as muscular as NDS and Berkeley.

Lehigh was 5-7 last year, 5-1 in the Patriot League.

Brian M. at HeroSports has already listed a top 100 FCS recruits.

49. Miles Hastings, QB, UC Davis

84. Orlando Ornelas, WR, UC Davis

"Lehigh played UC Davis one other time before: the Division II playoff semifinal in 1977. Lehigh went to Davis and beat the Aggies, won the Division II National Championship, and were never invited back... until today."

I saw a picture of a shirtless Logan M. on Twitter. Yolked!

Stanford beat Rice 62-7 last year in Australia. Love had a 62 yd run first play of the game. Ended up with 180 yds in 2 1/2 quarters. Looks like the Cardinal averaged almost 10 yds a rush even w/out Love's long run.

In Rice's defense, they started a RFrosh QB. They were 1-11 on the year.

I spoke to a Stanford insider this weekend.

He said if Love gets past the line of scrimmage, its over. He claimed:

1. Love led college football in 50-yard plus TDs.
2. Love did that with a sprained ankle half the season.

I believe part was common sense. I thought it was a gradual move with first partial scholarships. Greg Warzecka and Larry Swanson were in the process, Pam Gill probably the last to join in. Guessing. I believe the new facilities were important, and Vanderhoef eventually came around.

In our DII years I never heard anyone suggest a possible league we join, just an ocassional reference to DI.

I'll take it.

Given your sacrifice, I think you get TV priority to put on our game for background conversation ... if time zones and start times work in your favor (ie no direct conflict). ... have fun!

Do the Michigan folks, or you, know how Coach Harbaugh originally motivated Stanford football players out of their doldrums?

Logan Montgomery is proven, we'll miss Aaron Moore, but we've got young studs coming in at WR ... CC, Gilbert and Harrell... Vaughn... will Gabe Martinez (6'7") or the new long WR see PT?

The first game will be very telling. SLO played SJ to a standstill at half before letting it get away. ... I've seen 2 clips from their coach that weren't impressive as far as leadership... one he was complaining that HCs hide certain aspects of their job from assistants, thereby handicapping his early HC start ... huh??

Go Aggies!!!

SJS vs SLO, highlights: 35-13

https://youtu.be/li70QeybXgM

SLO could have easily won this game! They led 7-6 at halftime.

5 fumbles, 5. Lost 3. Two went for defensive TDs.

SLI only had 233 yards in offense.

Casper Star Tribune: Mountain West Football

"San Jose State

"The Spartans’ lone FBS win of the season came in the regular-season finale against a Josh Allen-less Wyoming. While a 2-11 record isn’t pretty, it sure beats going 0-12 against FBS competition."

I believe Hawk does. This ain't Intramurals, brother!

We need to stay humble and focused, no boasting... no more silliness on the sidelines. Focused. If Coach Tucker and crew grow our players, we could have a special season.

Mercury News writer on San Jose State.

"Optimistically, I can see the potential for four or five victories."

"UC Davis should be a gimme, al though the Aggies have an NFL prospect at wide receiver in the person of Keelan Doss...."

I love that. Perfect. Reminds me of UOP in the old days. Sun Tsu

UW Coach and Aggie Chris Petersen in The Bee.

"UCD coaches believed in the power of positive thinking, Petersen said, and that’s why you won’t see Huskies coaching barking or spewing F-bombs at players.

“The main thing (about a healthy program) is the whole vibe and demeanor,” Petersen said. “One, (UCD) coaches were unbelievable teachers of football. It was finally the first time that football really started to make sense.

“They were unbelievable people in how they treated us, how they spoke to us. I don’t remember anybody — nobody was ever in kids’ faces or yelling at kids. If there was yelling on the field, out of excitement and having fun. That sets a cool foundation.”

Collegiate Sports Nation thread jumps into discussing the possibility of the Aggies joining the FBS / Mountain West.
