I agree completely. And,the other good sign is that we weren't satisfied with that 30-point improvement. We were disappointed with a loss. at this rate, we beat them by 27 next time up on the red turf. That should turn some heads!

apparently the Hero thing is like Chicago politics -> vote early and OFTEN!

Home Run tonight vs Yu Darvish. This guy has made a pretty nice career for himself.

We ran it a handful of times. Second possession of second half, after we ran it every play on the first drive, we ran a nice jet sweep for about 15-20 yards. Called back on hold on opposite side. Seems like first drive was setting that and TE post up. Hold was away from play and didn’t help. That one hurt

it was UNC.

one difference between that night and saturday is that we were TERRIBLE vs. UNC and its wasn't clear we deserved a victory. Saturday, we played a solid game that we could/should have won.

and those well established schools are recruiting from areas where there is a strong field hockey system in the high schools. california isn't a real hot bed for field hockey.

two weeks back we stayed at the hyatt after the UND game. the Ohio State field hockey team was there (they played Stanford and us that weekend, both in Davis). That's got to take some cash to stay there for several nights! several parents i talked to had alot of good things to say about the Aggie team, despite their record. they played OSU even.

the play that REALLY hurt on the last drive was that little swing/outlet pass to Modise that was over his head. He caught it and fell for a 2 yard loss. hit him in stride, he gains several and gets out of bounds (in a perfect scenario). instead, he lost yards and plenty of time. in retrospect, either ground it or let it drop. easy for me to say from the stands (or on Monday).

i think they felt they could quickly exploit the soft prevent to get down the field with short passes and getting out of bounces. a few shots down the field, and you're in a position for a easy field goal or a TD from 15-20 yards out. poorly executed first couple of plays left us with a LONG field goal from a young guy. would have loved to have the ball at the 20 with 2 or 3 shots, and a time out. oh well.

Students really need someone ona mic to lead them . They have no idea when t make noise. No ‘Go’ ‘Ags’ chants between Pack and west side. And no Aggie Pack shirts? People around us were trying hard to get chants going; sometimes at the wrong time but at least they were standing and yelling.

Dartmouth is 4-0, 2-0 in the Ivy after knocking off Yale. Good to see Daft’s new gig off to a good start

glad you could join us and sorry I didn’t get to spend time with 6th and SF. An old teammate and good friend I haven’t seen in years was up so we spent much of pregame catching up. Getting too old to spend too much time st brewfest so that worked.

I didn’t in’s the targeting reviews. That’s how they cal that . Call it and review cuz you can reverse it. You can’t review a hit and add targeting. On the others? I guess they were warranted but they were so slow! It was like they were using a sketch artist instead of tv replays to make a decision. If it takes that long don’t reverse. Then on that 4th and short that was going to be close, they chatted for minutes on a fast mask. Mark off the 15 and let’s go.

I thought they went overboard when they reviewed Pint fumbling the tee on a kickoff!

One of the encouraging things is that folk here are disappointed with the loss instead of pointing out the moral victory. Great effort tonight. We made a ton of big plays by many players; in the end they made more. Getting only 3 points off two great int’s hurt. That bomb on the first play after going up 11 was a killer. Gave them life and took the wind out of our sails.

Someone mentioned the end of first half conservative plays. My take? Maier was struggling . I think he was 11-25 and forcing passes. I sense the coaches wanted to get to halftime and calm things down and not risk a turnover and late score especially with them getting second half kickoff.

Probably most entertaining 60 minutes I’ve seen at Aggie Stadium since USD in 2007. Tough one to loss but hard not to feel some optimism for the program. Learn from it and get better.

Student turnout and inactivity during game was very disappointing. The old folk in our section got several chants going that the students halfheartedly picked up. I doubt most of the brewfest people made it inside. Our section is more full than in the past few years but still 20% empty and those are tickets that mostly went to stadium donors originally. They keep renewing but not showing up. The locals? I don’t know if they’re aware or it’s just not part of their lives like in the old days. Not having a daily paper (a real paper delivered to the house!) doesn’t help. I’d like to think we get close to 10000 for homecoming and build from there. But......

UND was up 28-10 before a fumble on sack in end zone and fumble on own 20 led to another TD. 28-24

Aggie Stadium attendence records (media guide from a couple years back) is 10,849 vs Poly (09) and SUU (08). last time over 10000 was San Diego in '11. I believe those were all 'tickets sold', because it shows Winston-Salem at 10,289 and i don't remember the stadium being too full for that one.

we'll have more than last week, maybe not as many students. lots of beer drinkers staggering over from brewfest. hopefully more westside season tickets holders coming back.

it won't be a sellout; i heard they were expecting close to 10000. there should be tickets available. but, if you want seats on the west side (shade), i would get them sooner rather than later.

I'm toying with the idea of going to ND State in 2019 -> that would be a great game day experience, I'm sure. Doubt we'll make it since we have U-San Diego on the road that season, and we'll be there. Southern Utah is on my list, just for the national parks. Northern Arizona would be a good one for an extended trip -> Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff. I'm thinking the game day there is pretty bland. Reno is okay -> the fact that my wife wins on the slot about 99% of the time we go, makes it bearable.

I figured best because, well, it was your honeymoon! Hawaii tops my list. San Diego is second with Colorado State and Boise sharing the bronze medal

To stay with these guys, we’ll need a pass rush in order to make some stops. That hasn’t been a strength of ours. Maybe our staff will come up with something like in the first half last year. We’re not at their level yet, but who knows. Last year (and last week) showed that they handle adversity pretty well , so don’t expect amy help from help. Compete for four quarters and see where we stand.

By the way, I still think the PSU win is a god one despite their 0-4. Beating a team that went toe to toe with two FBS teams is nothing to downplay.

First significant game (other than rivals) at aggie stadium. Win is huge. Play competively and lose we’d still be 3-3and ahead of schedule on rebuilding. Should be big crowd. See how the young Ags handle the challenge

He had back to back 300 yard games in 2015 v poly and sac completing about 65% of his passes with no int. Never got much of a chance last year after the injury vs southern Oregon. Looks to be rushing things now. Need to give him a couple easy passes to get some confidence and make wildcat pass a threat.
