I hope you guys are successful. A stable Mountain West Conference that included Davis, Sac St, San Jose and Nevada would be great for athletes, travel costs as well as fans being able to attend many games. Perhaps myself and 95% of the opinions I've seen in the college sports world will be wrong and this will be a great move.

Sac is just getting destroyed on this move everywhere I look. Mountain West/New Pac message boards are 95% mocking them. Wood's X post replies are 90% negative. The Audible Podcast bought up the same question "where is the money coming from?" Multiple mentions of "odd" and even went are far as calling it "pyramid schemey."

$975 Million?
There should a prop bet on this. 3 choices you can pick- the under, the way under or a bankrupt athletic dept

This has been posted on other threads but can a potential stadium renovation please include something like this?

An Endzone bar area like Colorado St or San Jose Soccer. How about the Mondavi/Sierra Nevada Endzone Porch?

It seems like something the UC Regents wouldn't like but come on, this would be great.

Oh by the way, I’ve made a few posts as DavisDude on https://wcsboard.com/forum/8-sports-forum/

Multiple members welcomed me to the board and hoped for more Davis fans, so if anybody wants to join, come on over. Spread the word of the Mighty Davis Ags.

wcsboards seems to be the biggest group of Mountain West/ New Pac fans online.

Nothing about paying 15?, 18?, 20+? million(I've seen many different numbers) to join the MAC is appealing to me.

I think Sac will struggle big time in the MAC. Has an FCS team with less success tried to make this jump? I get the 3 seasons with Troy Taylor were great but nothing else in their history suggest they will succeed at FCS let alone FBS. And on top of that the travel will be horrible. A bunch of 3-9 or 4-8 seasons playing the likes of Eastern Michigan isn’t going to capture the interest of the region.

I get wishing we were moving faster but I want nothing to do with Sac’s “fake it till you make it” game plan.

I like the idea of using Davis script on the football field.

I’m a fan of just using “Davis” whenever possible, especially in the context of sports. Unfortunately many people (not us on the board obviously) lump all the UCs together once you get past Cal and UCLA.

De-emphasizing the UC might help distinguish us from the other UCs. It could reduce the amount of times broadcasters refer to us as 'Cal Davis.', which bugs me- ha.

That agent also represents Jedd Fisch so makes sense he would stand with Fisch. Apparently college football's favorite villain Lane Kiffin and LSU are going after Williams.

Yep- CFB is a mess, it's still my favorite sport... although my interest may be waning.

Fantastic finale for the FCS season. And it was a great atmosphere in Nashville. Makes me wonder if we need to push for FBS at all. If we were a constant 10 top FCS team, getting home playoff games and the goal of getting to Nashville, it might be more attractive than hoping to get to 6 or 7 wins and a trip to the Potato Bowl or New Mexico Bowl.

We my look like them, but unlike Notre Dame we are choosing to still play football games- lol

On TV the crowd sounded loud and very involved in the game despite some empty seats. It seemed like a much better atmosphere than last year's playoff game

Interesting to see that undefeated, playoff favorites North Dakoda St only had 10,400 in their 19,000 seat dome. And Mercer had only 3000 fans. So yes it would great to have Montana-esque support at our games, I don't think we are doing that bad in the grand scheme of things.

I will add that I live out of state and only make it to 1 game a year, so I don't feel I have the right to complain. All you who make it out most/all home games- complain away. lol.

That is a strange hire at Stanford. He was the OC of terrible Stanford teams a few years back, so lets hire him as head coach?

Got it, thank you all for the info

We checked out the merch booth at the game and I wasn't inspired enough to wait in line to buy anything. The bookstore was closed when we walked through campus before the game. Anyone know if there is Davis merch (hoodies, shirts, hats) at the Costco in Woodland? Or should we make a trip to the bookstore? We are driving from Livermore to Redding tomorrow and aren't in Nor Cal very often these days.

Made it out from Boise for the game. Fun time walking through campus for the first time in a few years. I was very grumpy in the 2nd and 3rd quarter but proud to see the players step up to make the plays we needed in the 4th for the win. I knew Sac was having trouble throwing the ball but 17 yards? Dang.

Tons of info and pics on new website https://aggieascent.ucdavis.edu/

Nice win and great to see some fans in the stands. Couple of questions about the arena set up. I live out of state and haven't been to a basketball game in years.

All the empty space behind the basket doesn't look great. I think it's been like that for a few years. But if we get more fan support, like yesterday, in the Mountain West soon, wouldn't it be better to put seats back there instead of a few tables?

Also, when did they put a fence between the student section and the floor? It looked odd on the highlights I saw. Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining after a great win, but just wondering about the arena set up.

We'd definitely be biking to games if we lived in Davis. It's great time for the family, we get to do that here in Boise, park along the river and ride bikes on the greenbelt 10-15 minutes to the game. Thinking about doing that this week. It's probably going to be the last chance here to see a game in nice 60 degree weather.

I like prepsportswear.com . You have tons of different options to design what you want. Looks like there are multiple deals going on the site right now. One caveat- I happen to like the CA logo and it looks like most the options here are with the old C with a horse logo which I'm not a fan of. But you can make many designs without the C Horse logo. I have a basic UC Davis Football Hoodie in Black that I love.

Just signed up for youtube tv, new lawn flag representing the Ags here in Boise- Go Ags! 2025.
