Are there reruns on bigskytv? I was at the game but I'd like to watch it again.

Thanks...I get it now...

The whole greater Sacramento to the East Bay and the greater Bay Area is becoming a congested, driving nightmare more and more... :sad:

I thought Poly was famous for the triple option. So you never have a FB and TB in the backfield just the FB?

I don't think extra bleachers would be practical or feasible for one game. I think a lot of fans love to sit in the grass areas too. However, if it was raining, sitting in the grass would not be fun.

I've heard there is a capacity restriction by the Fire Marshal but I don't get it especially compared to how we used to pack The Toom to the point that the bleachers were bending and the crowd standing 6-10 deep around the track. For one, there's nothing to burn or break or fall on the fans at Aggie Stadium. Exiting the stadium in some unforeseen emergency (earthquake or bomb scare etc) would be swift and easy given the open layout of the stadium. There are lots of exits and some fans could even exit onto the field and through the tunnel easily as well.

I think it would be easy to get 12,000+ safely in the stadium. If the safety officials think that's a problem they need to visit a lot of other stadiums in the country that seat thousands more and are much more difficult to exit in an emergency and they are considered safe.

Heck, we were packed in like sardines when I was at the Big house in Michigan a few weeks ago (over 111,000). They pack the fans in so tight that you are shoulder to shoulder but it's all good and the fans love it. Our Athletic Department needs to look into allowing more fans into Aggie Stadium if we have the demand.

Can you imagine if we were able to host a second round playoff game in Aggie Stadium. Damn! The place would be bursting at the seams!

"Aggies in Prison..." is an attention getting title for this thread but, if someone is just passing through this forum without knowing what the post is about, it sure doesn't look good!
Maybe "Aggies Make a Goodwill Visit to Folsom Prison" would have been less startling! :yikes:

I think Gubrud sat out last week also and EWU still put up 55 on SSU without him. I think their loss to Weber tells me just how good Weber is.

There was an article about this on the Aggie website also. Sounds like it was a great experience for the players that went and it meant a lot to the inmates as well. The Aggie Athletics Department is truly interested in providing life experiences for the athletes outside of the sports they play. Great to see.

“The guys are a little beat up,” ISU defensive coordinator Roger Cooper said in a postgame radio interview. “They forgot what it's like to lose and it's hitting them pretty hard. It's tough to see. But, it just really shows you how much they care and how much opportunity is still ahead of us to win a lot of games.”

I'm really surprised by Sac's complete collapse...wow..

That was the wildest ending to a college football game ever!

Sorry you missed that one, Toke69. That game is THE all-time Aggie miracle for sure.

The official stats page shows 10,849. They could certainly get more in there too. There was room in the stands and the south end zone. Nice to see lines at the concessions too.

Gilliam had 99 yards on 20 carries though and that's 5 yards a pop average which is pretty darn good.

Some states:

Total yards: ISU 562 Aggies 532
Rushing: ISU 243 Aggies 150
Passing: ISU 319 Aggies 382
QB's: Tanner Geller 19 - 30; Jake Maier 40 -51
Receiving: Mitch Geller 8 for 175; Doss 13 for 131 and Harrell 9 for 97
Rushing: James Madison 13 for 151; Gilliam 20 for 99

Tanner Geller throwing to his brother Mitch was a thing of beauty and we just couldn't stop them. They are a sensational combo.

Great comeback by the Ags to win against a very good team.

It was hard to tell just how many were in the stadium since so many fans packed the north end zone, grass area to get out of the sun. I've never seen that area so full. Their were 3 sections of students on the west side and, to their credit, most of them stuck it out despite the heat and the sun in their eyes. I wonder what capacity is?

The official attendance was 10,849! Now that's what I'm talking about. The game was a nail biting BLAST!

Ags are flat as a pancake and getting their butts kicked...
