• UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow
    is in the #20 tv market in the USA, the biggest one without a pro football or FBS team.
    . The issue is that when one strategies that by market viewership sector, in this case those interested in college football, it would not rank as high. As @LeFan states community apathy and culture is difficult to overcome. When I attended the University of Tennessee (decades ago) everyone was either at the game or listening to it - heck they even piped it in at Krogers (even though hardly no one was there shopping due to game being played. When I was walking around Savis prior to the Rhode Island game - I saw hundreds of students - many in coffee shops on computers but all seemingly totally ignorant that a football game was about to be played. Not much different from my days at UCD when it seemed all students were at the library.

    Major differences in culture re: college football. And in northern cal. that extends to Cal and Stanford.
  • Needed Updates to the Football Uniforms / Field
    +1 for keeping the CA logo. Hawkins brought this back after being totally buried. My guess with the banishment to be “more hip” and disassociate with any ag implication. Both CA and script Davis are traditional and both should be kept.

    I did my subscription through the Spotify app (not a Spotify subscription but only to tje podcast). There may be a locked icon on this show and just use that. When I did mine I scrolled down and got a link to subscribe. It doesn’t show up as a subscription on my iPhone. It comes as “Spotify for creators” or something like that in emails at billing cycles.

    I can’t get this episode to play on Spotify on any of my devices? Goes one second and stops. Then shows an error. Don’t see it posted on YouTube yet.

    Never mind. Got it on iPad. Likely something on my end. Maybe a video syncing issue - no video but audio.
  • Conner brothers eligibility lawsuit
    Rex has a nose for the ball. I think that makes up for any 40 speed”deficit” assuming your stated 4.6 is his speed - (I am not on the know about an acceptable safety speed on the NFL.). The bigger issue at this point is full recovery from his injury as far as his pro prospects.
  • Conner brothers eligibility lawsuit
    Agree with the basic premise that kids need to get on with their life. It’s beginning to be absurd with some of these players. Obviously in some or many cases money (agents/parents/players with unrealistic hopes) fuel this seemingly never ending train of expanded eligibility.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    I just thought ISU showed a lot more gumption on their comeback. Pretty tough to lose on lousy kicking - but they all count. Aggie special teams were not stellar this year.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    Monkey off Vigen’s back. I’m sure posters are going g from fire him to “he’s great”. Sort of like the hot seat Dr Pepper commercial.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    Illinois State really deserved to win.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    I knew they were going to dowler
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    Yah. Tough to lose a game due to 2 missed kicks especially an extra point.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    Can you believe this. I was thinking might go for two - especially to put more pressure on MSU.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    almost as stubborn as Hauck?
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    There are “fire Vigen” posts over on the Bobcat board. These Montana folks take their games quite seriously - and a bit illogically. Look where Vigen has gotten them.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    If MSU loses- it’s due to the innumerable number of penalties and mistakes. They are not playing like a confident mature team.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    yah. Just a lot of pressure on an inexperienced kicker
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    I would have gone for it. Of course hindsight.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    Gotta love Rittenhouse.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    the one thing bobcats aren’t used to are tight games. ISU has that experience. So pressure on MSU more so than Redbirds.
  • 2025 FCS Playoffs
    You can tell Rittenhouse has a lot of experience.
