MSU @ Weber is a biggie in the conference this week. I also think that ISU has a tough game coming off their heartbreaking loss to us and now having to travel across the country to play a decent non-conference opponent. I hope they don't let down. The way I see it is that the more the teams we have beaten win, the better it is for us when it comes to a possible playoff berth.

Here's a link to a replay of the game if anyone is interested in watching it again. Use the scroll back arrow to go back a couple of days until you see the Saturday, October 13 games. Thanks to NCagalum for letting us know about the Big Sky TV replays.

We know that the Aggie offense can light up the scoreboard. The big question in my mind, however, is whether or not the Aggie defense can prevent Poly from chewing up the clock on the ground and controlling the tempo of the game? We looked pretty porous against the run in the Idaho State game.

Aggies move up 3 spots to #16 in the Coaches Poll. The coaches still don't believe in the Ags as much as the other pollsters but that's fine with me...keeps us humble and gives us something to prove...

Great post Kerberos!

- That decision to go for it on 4th and 2 in the first overtime possession... GUTSY!! I don't think I've ever seen that in all the OT games of college football I've watched.

Two years ago my wife would only come to the games because she knew that I still wanted to go. She just grew weary of watching the Ags lose so much. Then this Saturday, when Hawk made the decision to go for the TD on 4th down in OT and my jaw dropped for a moment, she turned to me and said with a big grin, "This coach plays to WIN!"

This was our signature win of the D1 era so far and our most important win as well in regards to the effect it has had on our fans. The fan base is energized and expectations are sky high for this team. We haven't felt like this since the D2 glory days and we may look back on this game in the future and say, "This is the game where we came of age in the D1 era." How sweet it is!

My favorite unis ever! Just make sure to pair them up with the new, sparkling gold helmets. I have never liked the old style, yale gold color that looked more like milquetoast tan.

I would say that it is highly unlikely. It would depend highly upon the nature of the violation. Hawk and all the other Aggie coaches put a premium on individual character, academics and how a player would fit into the team chemistry. I'm sure they also believe in "second chances" but only if the infraction was minor and all of those other factors were met.

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.
