you left the ‘Miracle Game’ early? Yikes

On a day they were honoring Mike Bellotti (a miracle game hero), we pull this one off! I think we’ll look back at this game like us old guys looked at the Miracle Game -> the start of a new era

Our news release called it a capacity crowd, 10700. And they saw an epic game

San Jose got rolled by Army 52-3 at Levi Stadium. Tough times for the Spartans

That score is shocking.

there is food. The Nugget is one of the sponsors and they will have a booth with sausage, pretzels and other stuff. I’m guessing there will be more than that- the Nugget was the only one I found mentioned (on their page) after a quick google search. Might be a good idea to pack some absorbing carb heavy foods - gets pretty crowded.

Forecast is 84 degrees at kickoff and dropping below 80 by half time. Not exactly western Washington conditions.

I will be missing my first home game in years because its my youngest grandson’s 1st birthday. I asked him if he mind if I missed the party and he didn’t say ‘yes’.....but my wife pointed out he doesn’t talk. Oh well.

Ags by 10. I’ll be trying to follow online while babysitting our twin grandsons (parents anniversary). I’ll be teaching the 2 year olds ‘go ags’, despite their parents sac state degrees!

Not sure about the 7:00 starts (or wet T-shirt’s). I believe their surveys of season ticket holders have shown a strong preference for 4:00. That’s my preferred time, after September. Else I’d be staying over after every game. Over/under on tomorrow is 3:45 game duration.

I think the crowd will be biggest of the year. They’ve been working the frats and alumni so hope it pays off

i swear i was just going to write this same thing! an interception on one of their long balls, one stop and a quick score, etc will be huge. i always feel pretty darn good when we get a 2 score lead. they have to score 3 times AND hold us.

special teams could be critical. need to be really solid with our punts (hopefully very few) and kickoffs (hopefully very many).

one thing i really like about this team is that they are business-like. last year, there were a couple games where we got a little too caught up in our success (Poly); this year, they just seem to go out, get off to a big start and overcome any obstacles (penalties, quick 21-point burst vs USD) and focus on making plays. and, we're getting contributions from so many different players on both sides. key is to minimize the big plays. they like to go deep, and have had success on long runs. minimize those and make they score on long drives. NO SHORT FIELDS (kickoffs and punts)!

They give out that number pretty fast !

I’m not trying to pile on, I also think a good Sac team is good for us. I was surprised to see such an in-depth article in the school paper

i thought you were referring to this article that says 72 players have left since 2014, 28 after the 2016 season alone:

They are selling west side tickets for $14 today. No promo code needed.

I think they give you a wrist band for drinking so non-drinkers are welcome. One year my son was a non-drinker, but walked around with us

mostly students, not too many old timers. Youngsters tend to get their money’s worth!

It’s also BREWFEST!

i don't get why Idaho State isn't getting more run from the pollsters. wins over North Dakota and NAU (without their QB, but still a good team) vs. our wins over San Jose, USD and UNC (both beat up on Idaho). put up alot of points vs. NAU and Idaho. Seemed like they deserve a ranking.

Taking my cue from the fourth quarter yesterday, I’ll wait later in the season to vote. If we keep it to Marsh’s 12 years (basically Aggie stadium era) this is the best and most complete team
