• Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    I haven’t followed the band controversy close enough to comment on the merits of the changes. I’ll just say that it was always a point of pride for students in general that the band was a student run organization. Too bad
  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    while talking about ball carriers as a group, not just running backs, can’t leave out CJ Hutton. That guy is great carrying the ball. Surprised we didn’t see more of him after his first possession 20 yard run. We played a lot of two tight end, less of the three wide receivers. Can’t forget about CJ.

    That’s now a pattern seen in several games where they have TT run a series, and then come back to HR.. I don’t think it necessarily indicated they changed their plans.
  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    They put up a picture with Connor Airey as one of our key players
  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    I don’t think we thought Dixie would score much, I think we figured we’d run to avoid turnovers and because we could and that we didn’t need to put up a lot of points. I think that worked better than anticipated.
    On defense I think DrMikes characterization about bend not break is right. Make a team that hasn’t shown it can score earn it. They did better than expected because of the QB change.
  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    Some posters don’t seem enthralled with our lack of balance in individual games, although we have shown we can be either run heavy or pass heavy against different opponents.
    I personally think the Tulsa game was brilliantly managed, and the last two just seeing a mismatch and sticking to it, which is also smart. What’s the opinion here on our game plans so far?
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    Weber fans whining about not being a top 25 team after losing a game to a premier team when they are using backup QBs. Shows how spoiled their fans are.
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    What is the status of the Weber QB Bronson Barron who got injured against Dixie? I assume they think he’s their best QB.
  • Other games
    Tulsa was within 7 of Ohio State in the fourth quarter, had over 500 yards of offense against Ohio State.
    Lost 40-20
  • Other games
    Only watched the first half but I don’t think I’ve ever seen both offenses score touchdowns every possession of the first quarter, In the second quarter EWU just kept going, I think there was only one possession in the first half where they didn’t, and with really quick drives. Awesome.
  • Diversity screening limiting applicants at UC
    The better way is the legally mandated way, which is non discriminatory hiring.
  • Diversity screening limiting applicants at UC
    But if the University no longer admits students by their scholastic preparation or faculty by their expertise in their subject and capability as instructors, why would you want to get that UC degree?
  • Week 3 FCS games
    Wow, Eastern WA vs W IL has six touchdowns, neither team has failed to score TD on any possession.
    Now 7 TDs, 28-21 end of first quarter, eastern.
  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    That ranking site that expects us to lose to Idaho, still thinks Idaho is in the Sun Belt conference.

    They’ll slice through the Big Sky opponents like a knife through butter.
  • Diversity screening limiting applicants at UC
    How is "How did you make your community better?" a controversial question.

    The way students used to get into Davis or any premier college was via transcript courses grades and test scores. Stick to admitting the best students, How is that controversial?
    You know what indicates an engaged learner? SAT scores. You don’t get high verbal ability scores without reading. You don’t score high on math without learning it.
  • Week 3 FCS games
    And make the scholarship limits the same, say 70 That and the new transfer rules will spread the talent. Any more than 70 is just stockpiling and leads to less balanced competition
    There should be no rule that make the lower division structurally different Then people might stop constantly referring to it, On Tulsa broadcast I heard “Davis of the FCS” more than any other description,
  • FCS Polls Week 2
    Good question.
    Maybe that one initial doesn’t help.
    I think a bad program may have trouble getting 63 quality players, let alone 84.
  • FCS Polls Week 2
    Even though San Diego and Dixie may have similar rankings, they don’t have much in common. San Diego has more offense, Dixie is mor physical, and pretty good defensively. We have to make sure we don’t help their offense out with penalties or turnovers. They’ve played against good defensive teams but so far haven’t been able to score in double digits. I think the Aggies are a good defensive team, so if we are smart we’ll make them earn it. I wouldn’t go for it on fourth down on our side of the field either.
  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    That’s just pathetic. They don’t have South Dakota State in the top 20 FCS teams. What is their methodology?
  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    They have some tall guys I’m glad it’s not volleyball
