Agreed. And the game tickets MUST be bought as a package deal with the tailgate pass, $80 each. At that price i think they will be shooting themselves in the foot.

I doubt I will do the bus. For those familiar with the most efficient methods of getting in and out of Cal, any suggestions? Drive to Richmond and take BART? I see Amtrak has an option for $40 round trip from Davis as well.

Reasonable article. Give Jake time and he is going to do well. As is often the case, the game will be won and lost in the trenches unless Jake becomes more mobile. In contrast to our previous coaching staff, Hawk has his guys ready to go game 1. Score against Cal? Vegas has it 11-30 for Cal.

The boosters there have a lot of power.

Thats the truth, big time. I went to HS down there. Several of my close friends ended up at SC. Their booster and alumni network is remarkable. And that kind of $ talks the talk and walks the walk.

Wasn't it Weber a few years ago that gave Cal everything they could handle? As i recall, Cal had to come back from being down.

Great accolades for the program, but I think I would rather be rated lower down the list and prove them wrong.

Any updates on the Band-uh status? They will be worth a TD at Cal.

Maier’s pass-catching corps will have much to prove in the wake of Doss’ departure, but it still features two key pieces that have the skillset to keep things rolling. Junior wideout Jared Harrell was the Aggies’ second-leading receiver in 2018, catching 62 passes for 896 yards and 5 touchdowns. He’ll be complemented by senior tight end Wes Preece, who had a breakout sophomore year in 2017 and tied Doss with nine receiving touchdowns last year.

I think athletics did a good job utilizing the available footprint. I hope they have a plan for a gathering place for the students, which i did not see addressed in the press release.

Back in the day my roommates and I carved the Krebs cycle onto one of the wooden tables. Back then they allowed carvings on the tables

As for Cal tix, haven't heard a thing - was nosing around online but am still looking for the Aggie Pack, wherever they might be. — AggieFinn

They are available on the Cal site. At some point, I am sure athletics will link it from our football schedule page.

"Bringing both of these teams to Torero Stadium will be exciting for our players, our coaches and our fans," said McGillis. "We have one of the best venues for college football at San Diego and we are excited to continue competing against top-notch programs from outstanding universities."

And as Mike said, this is always a scary game. But I feel much better about it under Hawk.

Just booked my flights for the SD game. Alaska has some dynamite deals at the moment.

In my honest opinion I think the Aggies will be just fine. Hawkins and company have been doing very well in recruiting since they came in. I think Harrell will be ready to take over WR1 from Doss.

I absolutely agree, but I worry about the big hits he takes. He got leveled at Ew.

Some years ago there was a mountain lion south of the airport. They get here via the putah creek riparian habitat.

I’m assuming the Team Aggie tent is moving over to Lot 56. It won’t be consolidated as before, but it will work

That’s what I was told, lot 56. Seems like parking is going to be tighter.

If we had home field we might have won that game. — Riveraggie

Agreed. I went to the first EW game. Frankly, I don't care to go back. It was freezing cold on those metal bench seats with that north wind coming out of Canada, and the fans were not so nice. I sat with a fella that sits behind me at the home games. I thought he was going to end up in a fist fight with the EW fan to his right. And I am not crazy about their coach. But give them credit, they can play football.

3 vs 5 is is not much of a difference, — Riveraggie

True, especially this early. But I was surprised to see EW at #7. I think that is what caught my eye. And to be honest, it might be better for the Aggies to be lower on the list. Teams like to get up for games when it appears they are the underdogs.

And what's cool about this is each tailgate spot is 30' long and additionally you get the real estate next to your spot on the stadium side. Finn and I have the premier location with lawn and shade trees included in our spot. But wait, there's more. Each tailgate spot will include (drum roll please) a first of its kind UC Davis Aggie shade structure!! Since Finn and I are sharing the same spot, we will be arm wrestling to see who keeps the shade structure. Finn, you better start lifting iron!

The top 5 on the Athlon ranking looks more realistic to me then HERO.
