Game notes up:

i like weather underground as my source; shows it as 20% chance, but less than 10% chance at game time. 52 degrees at kickoff.

I hope that forecast holds. It would be a bummer if rain kept the fans away.

Any idea if their will be food trucks in the tailgate area prior to the game?

toke 69. To get espn3 via an app you have to have some sort of cable (or satellite?) subscription. They got you coming and going.

Farley seems like a very nice guy. Sort of reminds me of SDSUs John Stiegelmeier Who is a class act.

A contrast to Montana’s Hauck who looked like it was killing him to say anything good about Doss when asked by a reporter during the post game interview. I had to admit that I enjoyed seeing him squirm.

i would assume that anyone can visit the food/beer trucks in the student tailgate, but i'm not positive. i thought it said something about showing ID to get into the tailgate. maybe you can do the 'reverse beer buy' -> 'hey kid, can you buy me a beer and pizza?'. like when we were high schools hanging out by a 7-11!

Hahaha...I remember those days when a bunch of us kids would spend half the evening trying to find someone over 21 willing to buy us some beer...

it was easy once i got to Davis....i got there the year AFTER they rescinded the 'no alcohol sales within 1 mile of campus', so buying beer at JJ's or the other liquor store out on Westlane (about 1.01 miles from campus) was really easy!

Hahaha...and you could sneak a peek at the XXX drive in you were out that way! :scream:

I agree the UNI coach seems like a class guy.
However, opposing coaches are often more complementary pregame than post-game. Montana made us seem pretty tough pregame

Hawking making a pitch to fill the seats!

The Construction Gods have spoken y'all. The build window is F-M this week...ie, not looking like we're getting rain on game day.

Just want to say

I AM HYPED

I have a couple of friends going way out of their way to make a trip to Davis.

Any folks here meeting up?

Ticket map seems to show good sell through on home side. Far section towards scoreboard / south end zone still wide open.

I'm not sure what typical walk up sales are, 500, 800?

We’re in the weather forecast window now that i consider reliable. Looks like the rain will be gone by sun up and temps in low 50s, high 40s.

great news on the weather front. hopefully the 'fair weather fans' will gobble up those last tickets now that it looks dry.

Yes, good thing, because I just received notification from Amazon that the poncho I ordered for the 4-year old won’t arrive until Saturday now :lol:

"...opposing coaches are often more complementary pregame...."

Lou Holtz could be getting ready for a game against the Northwest Dakota Southern School for the Blind at Lesser Grand Falls and talk it up like they were playing the New England Patriots.

I was at Davis when it was L&M or Jake's out near El Macero....and the old-timers in that era used to talk about having to go to Frenchy's on the south edge of Woodland.

Right. If you build up the opponent pregame you soften the impact if you lose and gain more credit when you win.
After the game, saying the opponent was really good sounds like an excuse, so coaches focus on their team’s mistakes.

Excellent article on official website about our defense by Bruce Gallaudet
About our multitude of linebackers. I didn’t know that Moe came here as a DB

I plan to get there early, after a pit stop at the Plainfield Station. Hang out with AgAlum and Finn at their spot. Wander over to Mike Angius' spot, where there tends to be alot of former players and coaches. Finally finish at the hospitality tent for the final fuel for the day!

If anyone is hanging around town after, I'll be staying downtown trying to find an establishment where i don't feel like a chaperone! suggestions?

I might swing by Plainfield around 11 or so with PapaFinn for a beer.

I keep on seeing showers at 5 and 6 p.m. on game night or an equivalent of 0.04 inches of rain. That's not bad. Is it?

my source says rain in the morning, stopping around 10 am and mostly cloudy to partly cloudy throughout game time.
