I hope the NCAA would follow the spirit of the law, that number is 30% (not 31%), and let them play.

They could schedule Lincoln University in Oakland.

Can we have Sam Young and or Paul Wulff break down NDSU tape in advance to try to spot any weaknesses? That way coaches not distracted from the task at hand.

With no schedule? I guess they could book the small school in Oakland.

I have periodically mentioned our lack of a sack game / QB pressure over the years. Mr. Psyk recorded another sack and sits at 9.0 on the season, the most by an Aggie since 2018 (King?).

The Ags now have 23 sacks as a team, the most since 2021.

Our defensive stop on the last drive reminded me a little of NDSU at the Toom ... 1982? In front of the north end zone stands. Seeing them walk from the lockerroom onto the field, they looked massive. That was more nail biting, this was more hang on, bend, don't break. Marion using multiple backs was solid, but the play calling way vanilla. Did they ever run to the edge, bounce out, even once? It seemed it was more than five minutes for the drive, an eternity with 2 TOs and big run plays.

What is your thinking behind Vargas being an NFL caliber RB?

You had a tough schedule and still competed well. Think his fate would be different if you beat PSU?

What a cluster ...

Ouch. They played some top teams well, losing to Portland State was one outlier.

Yes, they risk a mass roster dump soon to the portal.

Don't forget freshman DL Jaden Few, he came up huge yesterday, as did Kai Acia.

Any chance we recover any other injured players w two week gap?

How long do season ticket holders have to claim their seats?

Easily solved if Dr. Wood and AD Orr realize the Pac-12 dream isn't happening right now.

- Talk to the BSC about re-admission
- Cancel Cal Expo nonsensical plans
- Phased plan to rebuild the current, ON-campus stadium

Marion can recruit, and he's smart enough to tweek his offense and decision making.

NDSU - ugh! Well, two weeks to get rested and pack the Toom!!

Please, bring out the old ag machine w whistle!

So we get rest, possible to get anyone else back from injury??

And our opponents have a long flight.

When we win, who is our likely quarterfinal opponent?

Where will Marion go?

The JV team beat Sac. Ha! Their AD, University PR, or both, got Dr. Wood to stop the inappropriate remarks.

Leaving the BSC is so odd, all the dice on the Pac 12? Sounds like his wheeler dealer brother had major influence. They should have stayed put, and improved the on-campus stadium unless T Gould gave them an invite. Really bad timing w campus and Federal finances.

I feel bad for the Sac community, people like Coach Mattos. Locals I knew are always cordial and asking how the Aggies were doing.

Can we get ESPNU on the ESPN phone app?

You wrote: "Acia was a very unsung hero in Vargas’ absence (an NFL talent). ..."

Do you see Vargas as a LL type runner? Have you heard knowledgeable Aggies share your opinion?

He's still young, not sure about breakaway speed. Does he have FBS power?

Yes. We'll host round one.

I've now read two new analysis, both which have North Dakota missing the playoffs. I found this prediction interesting:

Opta Analyst: "Illinois State at No. 14 seed UC Davis, winner at No. 3 seed Lehigh"

I'd be very happy to skip the Montanas as long as possible.

But weren't most up the gut? No concept of running every other one out of bounds. I thought we might have left them too much time.
