Good discussion on Montana vs MSU. I told my wife yesterday i wish we were playing Montana this year instead of MSU. I would give the Ags a decent chance against MSU if we had all our role players healthy. At this point its going to be a big challenge.
BTW, I’m driving through Bozeman on Friday with my Davis alumni license plate holder. Last time i was there, i got some comments as i was filling up at the Bozeman Costco. I just might wear some Aggie swag, lol.

The monkey wrench in all of our speculation is the promise that Plough made to Sochor. I would be really surprised if he moved on, say in less than 5 years. Sochor was offered several high profile jobs, such as the Stanford job. He was content to remain in Davis, raise his kids locally, and still create a legacy. I see Tim following that lead.

While I’ll stick with my previous statement that Plough isn’t going anywhere, i do know that program support, or lack of, is very bothersome to him. He has repeatedly said that if he has a level playing field he would win a national title. He quotes figures from Montana, 500 donors donating $1,000 each. If program support from alumni and fans doesn’t continue to increase, that could be a nail in the coffin.
With that said, he was touched by the big group we had at lunch last week. It had to be a record, lots of new folks I’ve never seen before. Excitement seems to be brewing.

At last weeks lunch Coach made a comment that he turned down big NFL money to coach at Davis. He’s not going anywhere.

No holding call!

Poly D looking strong.

Boy, the griz get the award for the ugliest uniforms in the big sky.

Montana state 20 Idaho state 14 start of 2nd.

Well, as I recall that was reviewed and the ruling on the field was upheld.

I wondered about Perez as well. At the lunch on Thursday Coach Plough didn’t mention that he was hurt.

I’ll bring mine as well :).

“ Interesting that Sac State offered to buy out your Stetson game and play @UCD in '26 and you guys said, nahhhhh.”

And Tim Plough just accepted a 5 year contract to coach sac state , lol.

“ The Northern Arizona football team is facing what could be the biggest friction point of the 2025 season. After winning four games in a row against FCS opponents, the Lumberjacks were brought back down to Earth last week by the No. 5-ranked Montana State Bobcats in a 34-10 loss.”

“ Redshirt freshman quarterback Caden Pinnick was almost perfect in the win, going 21-for-26 for 313 passing yards and three touchdowns. He also led UC Davis in rushing last week with 60 yards and a touchdown.

After what Montana State quarterback Justin Lamson did to NAU last week, the Lumberjacks need to be keenly aware of Pinnick’s multi-faceted abilities.”

“We need to contain him,” Wright said. “We need to limit a lot of the big plays. I don’t know that you’re going to contain him the whole game, but we’ve got to do a better job of getting after any of these quarterbacks that we play and put more pressure on them.”

The new price schedule for Champion Aggie, formally Team Aggie, hopefully will generate more revenue as long as it doesn’t scare some folks off. I know starting next year my donation will be double to maintain the same level of amenities such as the pregame hospitality.

Regarding the goal line play that hurt Rex, wasn’t it the same play that put Lan out 2 different years?

If Rex has another year of eligibility, i would advise him to move on, get the big NIL cash, and increased exposure similar to Teddye.

Psyk was pretty quiet in this game.

No pass rush

That penalty was on poly. This homer is smoking some good stuff.

Cant get the run going
