I guess this kinda surprises me. I didn’t think of our corners as a real strength this year but, honestly, I don’t follow that side of the ball too closely.

San Diego hosted Harvard a couple times in the 2010’s. Princeton was out here in 2023. Also have had Brown and Yale out but that’s been awhile .

Brown was at SLO in 2018


It’s tricky getting them out here. They open later than most FCS schools so their opener would be our 3rd game.

We’re listed as 7.5 point favorites. Need to get off to a strong start - we almost dug ourselves into an inescapable hole vs Sac. They will be well aware of TY’s ability to get to the hoop so we need to hit the open 3’s. Not expecting much of a crowd which hopefully won’t effect their concentration.

Of course, we were 5.5 favorites over Norfolk and that didn’t go well.

you guys really captured my feelings after the game. Just disappointed for the players and staff to lose that final game, knowing it was could have been different. You guys know what effort they’ve put in and your empathy comes out.

Watching your video of getting to the game really made me certain I made the right choice not flying into Omaha for the game. Midwest December driving ain’t for this Californian! Painful enough watching on TV

that added bar stools and tables to the top row in section 124 (or 5) . Seemed like a popular addition. They removed seats in two rows, tables on the lower row, stools on the top.

I'll try to get some information when i go up for basketball on Wednesday.

I think he’s low about 50%

unfortunately this isn’t Stanford where a rich donor can make some like that happen. Redoing a stadium on a CSU campus has gotta take a lot of red tape breaking!

I’m hoping that an expansion of our stadium can come under a capital improvement from Mrak Hall, instead hitting the same small big money donor base.

my shorter term memory went to 2021 and another 6 turnover game in the state of South Dakota:

When i was at Weber, they had a nice little retail space built into one end of the stadium . You could put something reasonable (maybe 1/2 the Bruce Edwards room) in that space between the locker room and the equipment/ticket office.

as for the berm, i'd be content with grass under the scoreboard, and built up the other end including the grass. It would be nice to make that end of the stadium a large set of stands which would be tough for the other team. The one end of Montana's stadium is pretty daunting. I'm not sure we can get that kind of geometric effect with the layout of the stadium -> seems like upgrades are going to be far from the field. Steep = loud!

don't forget just the increase in the budgets of all sports to be able to compete at the next level. The Hornet basketball team i saw last night is not ready for the Pac12.

I thought Leo was the key in the first half comeback. He took charge on both ends. TY hit a few nice shots during that run. Tamba was huge in the second half.

Reason key was stopping Holt. He had 14 points in first 5 minutes, 3 the rest of the way, and he had big turnovers down the stretch. Defense really flustered him.

Next is rematch with Idaho in that might be an empty Pavillion.

he had a ‘class a’ technical with about 4 minutes to go. Looked like he gave the Sac player a little kick after the Sac guy lightly grabbed his leg wrestling for the ball. Gave the hornets four points turning 12 point lead to 8. Plus that counts as a team foul which could have had an impact in what had become a close game.

Based on the offers Larison got without entering the portal, we might not see any names for awhile.

this morning it said 28 Marshall players hit the portal leaving them with too few players to play on the bowl game. 35 Lobos are in the portal!

I can’t imagine why any coach would think they are going to be THE GUY to make the Lobos competitive.

TY’s tech was bad especially after we lost the ball off missed free throw. 12 point lead down to 8. Less than 3 to go. Who is gonna score for us? One or two more buckets should do it

Sacramento isn’t good. We just need to settle down on both ends.

And need TJ to settle down. He’s pressing. 5 TOS.

I think Sac would LOVE to be in the Big West. They are there for Soccer, and it’s a much better fit for baseball/softball. And winter travel for basketball would be much easier.
