exactly! I really do look forward to moving up hopefully in the next 5 years..

Where do you think we will fit into that MW football bracket? Id say mid of pack if we were in it right now.

I honestly think the new (remaining) mountain west is pretty decent and will end up being a good FBS spot for Davis. Decent teams that often go to bowl games and occasionally stack up 10 win seasons but are not constantly CFB playoff level teams. Also geographically it’s pretty great with sjsu and Nevada so close and the rest of the school almost in the same travel footprint as the Big Sky.

my prediction for NOCO vs Sac is
27 NOCO
24 Sac

this is the argument going on in the montana-verse at the moment

well I dont have a photo of him in Paris with the hat... but I have a story to tell. My parents just got to Venice and were sitting at a cafe. They heard someone speaking english and looked to their left only to see a guy wearing a davis colored shirt. They joked about it for a minute onkly for the guy to turn around and be wearing a UC Davis Aggies t-shirt. Apparently their kid is a freshman and they have been wearing Davis merch all around Europe. Small small world!!

yeah I don’t really know about that. I think personally Davis could do some things to raise national profile for athletics but commenter school is a headscratcher

Luke wood’s confidence never ends

I was committed to Oregon state before getting into Davis off the waitlist. Really cool town, love the brick everywhere, but the weather man….

Oregon state is going the wrong direction in every way. Other than baseball I feel like they are going back to what small relevence they had nationally before Smith became the coach. While it’s a bigger job, I agree they unless they give him a boatload of money it’s not like OSU is in some crazy better position. I’d be curious though to know if Plough knows or has been given a game plan for Davis realignment. Id imagine it would be much harder to pull him from raising his kids at his Alma mater if Davis moving to a higher level of football is in the future. The new PAC12 is better than the MW but the difference between UC Davis in the MW and Oregon State being mediocre in the new Pac12 doesn’t seem worth it.

You beat me to it. Was going to post about it this. I’d see Vigen going there before Plough.

so agree, especially in a town that is so easily bikeable. I see the community biking to school in droves every morning, could easily bike to the game. Actually would be nice to have a little more bike parking now that I think about it..

I was thinking the same thing! My dad has been wearing his hat everywhere. He went to Notre dame wearing it :lol:

sending my thanks too! Parents are in Paris and wanting to watch the game :up:

this is a tough one. Maybe Harvard? But also we’ve had a look at Mercer (although they changed qbs)

Another basically (-like 70 tickets) 10,000 person crowd. Really awesome considering this week is the first week of midterms for most kids. Seeing freshman show up before they take the first “big” test of their college life is pretty nice to see.

wa griz is my bucket list stadium in the big sky, but I don’t know if I’d find a game as luckily nice as the weather seemed yesterday

I can’t get the video to upload… BUT they lit the water tower in gold and blue after the win! I have to note that sac state fans have been asking for a “light the beam” at hornet stadium and I guess Davis decided to put their own spin on it

sac fans about to act like they are the second coming after a big win like that

Another 10,000 person crowd too!
