I didn't know Stanley had been suspended. When did that happen? I thought it was Gbatu who got suspended for targeting in the final couple of minutes of the UNC game.

.think it might be bot/AI. — AggieFinn

....damn, bot/AI stuff is beyond my pay grade...

Looks like our attendance police woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I was expecting this to happen.....I mean, why not ruin a good thing, right? — SochorField

WTF!!

I'd take that draw.

Ed Lamb is an impressive coach.

Any word about the appeal we made to the NCAA about getting the Connors brothers a medical redshirt year?

Pinnick came down with tonsillitis on Thursday. Hopefully, antibiotics will take care of it and he'll be ready to go agains Idaho State.

Final scores week 9:

Montana 49 Sac State 35
Eastern Washington 23 Weber State 20
Idaho 45 Portland State 6
Northern Arizona 31 Idaho State 18
Montana State 34 Cal Poly 17
Aggies 27 Northern Colorado 16

From Bob Dunning's Substack column:

In the absence of starting quarterback Caden Pinnick, the Aggies turned to veteran Grant Harper. Pinnick did not make the trip after coming down with tonsillitis.

“Grant was a real stud for us today,” said Plough. “Coming in under really difficult circumstances at the last minute, he was really, really good in the first half and was really struggling physically in the second half, but everything he did really made me proud of his effort.”

“I’m just a spectator until the offense is done and they send me in,” Ridley said. “It felt good off my foot. When I looked I knew it was good.”

It's 20 past midnight here in Paris and my wife and I are happy Aggie fans! Great win by beat up Aggie team that simply finds a way to win regardless of how many key players are not playing. Gritty, gutty win by the Ags!

It looks like this game may come down to whether or not the Aggie defense can slow UNC enough that we can just hang on and survive...

That missed PAT could be big the way things are going.
