Paid attendance at ucd has been in the range of 5k in a good year. The total attendance is juiced by the students the first two weeks of class. They don’t contribute to the gate and nobody is really counting. 11k is generous as max capacity within the fences. There’s no way 14.5 is a real number.

Fresno State is gone. The MWC without Fresno and Boise is essentially the Big Sky and the media deal will reflect that reality. For Davis to move to the new MWC and be marginally competitive in football would require at least $50m of capital expenditures plus an increase of $10m per year to the football budget. $10m per year is more than 2x the annual ticket, sponsorship and donor contributions for the entire athletic department. Good luck.

Couldn’t agree more. So many missed opportunities. Instead of acting like adults and providing some leadership to course-correct, Mrak Hall always defaults to forming a cancel committee. The current bunch of administrators was born on third base (thanks to funding levels) and acts like they hit a triple. A lot of good things that separated the campus from many peers have been lost due to mismanagement.

The same level of effort goes into the media releases. Very little pride, zero accountability and no vision.

That attendance figure includes 4,000 of his imaginary friends.

Gathering wins? This isn’t the Oregon trail. How about we stop throwing across our body into traffic, put our hat on forward and tell the kids we’ll see them when the workday is complete? The defense has kept this team alive. The hc needs to stop patting himself on the back and provide the offense some direction. Every time Hastings takes more than 3 seconds to throw the ball the entire offensive staff owes the D 20 push ups.

Great game by the D

Cal wasn’t close in the second half. A lot of teams play close games. Who else has only had two backs with carries in the fourth quarter of week 3?

Only two backs have carries on the year. Staff seems unprepared on offense.

He should have 3 of them today. Lan made a crazy catch on the TD.

Doesn’t seem like Plough has a very good handle on his offensive personnel.

Or the head coach’s acumen.

What’s worse between Hastings and these uniforms? Did someone forget to order the gold helmets this year?

My point exactly.

Boise supports that program. The Davis community won’t even support a decent restaurant.

FYI - athletic admission to Davis has not been held to the general student body requirements for about 50 years now.

Are you guys for real? These moves and deals are put together by ESPN and Fox. Davis and Sac State are not under any legitimate consideration by the networks. The legacy Pac 12 brand needs to get to 8 programs to be a playoff qualifier. Gould is holding out hope that something goes spectacularly wrong with the ACC in order to grab Cal and will otherwise add 2 more from the MWC.

For those that are too young or too saturated to remember, the move up from the NCAC to the American West Conference was going to change the game for Aggie football. Throngs of fans were anticipated to pack Toomey as Davis leveled up from conference games with Chico and Humboldt to Cal Poly and Sac. And further the move to the Big West and Sky was expected to be a boon for football and basketball. Just wait till the new stadium opens! In reality, none of this interest materialized. There have been damn good football programs visit with limited fanfare and hoops attendance at home has backslid from 30 years ago.

Rocko should focus on getting the game notes out with less than 30 typos and stay at the kids table.

Commerce was in cover zero quite a bit. You have to be able to execute your press beaters, especially with a talent advantage. This is on the QB not the OL.

When there has been shaky qb play in the past it has been years where there were major deficiencies in other areas. These last two years the team has been solid and the qb has let them down. Commerce is playing straight man right now and he’s struggling with high school reads.

Within the gate so you need a ticket.
