Didn't Hawkins eschew a field goal against Cal when it would have put the Ags ahead 10-0? I can only surmise that he makes his decisions in the context of the opponent and how he sees the game developing?
On the positive side, Aggies have turned things around a lot on defense. At the half, Weber State has 195 total yards and 9 first downs vs. UCD's 226 total yards and 14 first downs.
I spent 8 years at the University of Washington and the fans there told me that Oregon fans are notorious for not respecting any bounds when it comes to disrespecting other teams, their fans or their players. I'm not sure where that comes from because I've never met anyone who went there that was of such a despicable nature. Maybe it takes a few beers?
As to San Diego being in the Pioneer League with all those east coast schools, it doesn't make much geographical or economic sense to me, given the cost of travel. The WAC has teams in Texas and Utah which are closer.
