We used to have BSC teams in OoC on the years we didn't play them and I feel like that could make a comeback.

Imagine, if we had Portland State at home at OoC this year instead of the game that never happened, we'd be a lock already for playoffs and playing for a seed on Sat. (Not saying it was the wrong decision to take the Mercer game when offered, just that the committee's priorities are wrong)

MBB twitter account has been on a warpath

Great Donner Pass Derby win!

A lot of my photos weren't uploading in the moment because the network seemed to be overloaded, but here's a highlight reel of some of the festivities I posted on reddit

Aggies only need 14 in 3:50 now! Nothing compared to 16 in :20

People in the stands are marveling at how quick Pinnick is. The picks are painful to watch but I think I agree with the consensus that this isn’t on him necessarily

That’s probably ballgame barring another TO

I’m hoping this is the moment where the TOP starts to matter. Their D has been on the field a lot

lol they’re imploring people on loudspeaker to come back in time

Crowd has emptied out and they do allow you to leave and re enter. There’s an opportunity to take advantage of a less noisy stadium in the third like Plough did for UM last year

Aaand they’re back into it

The guy in my section pivoting to taking about volleyball right on cue was pretty funny. Crowd is somewhat out of it now

By the scoreboard countdown I’d estimate 7:33, so pretty much everyone’s in alignment

It appears to also be their weight room / athletics center. Very clever use of space.

honestly their stadium is already pretty fantastic and somewhere I could see Aggie Stadium going (horseshoe around one end, nice and tall bleachers on sidelines overhanging concourses, premium seating under the scoreboard). It’s going to be a definitive FCS stadium after the upgrade I think.

It’s a beautiful night though temperature is dropping fast. Don’t recall seeing much moisture in the ground on my way here so I think/hope weather is as minimally impactful as it could be given the location

Special teams already getting warm

Someone at the gate told me they pushed the kickoff time “a few mins”

As if this writing at 6:26 pacific, the scoreboard still says just under 68 mins to kickoff

last time I saw a non ESPN crowd this big I think was the senior night for the excellent Corey Hawkins team vs conference runner up Irvine, so it might be the biggest in a decade

Some aggressive student marketing plus Sac State staff star power I think
