Game week. Go Ags!

Or first game subterfuge.

Batson 6'4"... fast enough to cover top receivers?

FWIW, Idaho State has 10 WRs at 6'1" or over, including Robbie Mascheroni (listed as a Sophomore).

"The roster transaction means Larison's season is over.

"The Patriots reportedly signed running back Deneric Prince, who will provide depth in a room which figures to be a strength in New England. The 25-year-old Prince played two games for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023."

He signed a three year, $2.99 million contract.

He was spotted in a boot, unsure of the status.

They couldn't give them room to spread out and reduce background noise?

The Hornets are our top local rival. VDH including our water tower and plug was icing on the cake.

The sad irony is that some folks like Dr. Wood are lowering standards, which is counter productive.

Recent Dr. Wood non-sports comments / interview over in the OT Board.

Here is the full VDH nine-minute reply with over 200,000 views. Some comments insightful, Dr. Wood gets a lot of heat.

Which is why we have had affirmative action since the 1960s, race-based scholarships, outreach, Head Start, extra funding, EOP, trillions of dollars spent on the War on Poverty, etc. BTW, recently some schools are further lowering standards, homework, and grading criteria.

The present-day problem appears to be a lowered educational proficiency nationwide, including many urban schools having 25% or less of students meeting basic proficiency standards. Many schools with multi-million-dollar budgets have zero percent proficiency. Yet we have a Califirnia Asian American student with a 4.4 GPA, top SAT scores, a Google job offer, who is rejected by twenty top universities including multiple UCs.

Dr. Victor Davis Hansen is a respected Stanford historian and here is a clip from his longer reply. Of note he adds UC Davis in (and our water tower).

Patriot news sources say LL has been impressive, but I also saw he dropped a pass and another missed reception was picked. I believe one Patriot RB is injured, and another struggling. He appears to have a good shot.

How do our QBs look? I'm expecting more mobility, and an ocassional crossed wire.

It will be interesting to see how the Hawkins clan performs.

We don't have media handlers for TV interviews?

The good today: "Stevenson’s fumble followed on the next snap with Myles Bryant recovering. That possession ended in an eight-yard TD run for Lan Larison, who had a nice little jump cut before finding his way in."

The tough: "Team White’s possession ended in another Hawkins INT when a ball went right through Larison’s hands."

How do our QBs look?

Mildest summer in 30 years?

Hackett was out of a job, but just signed on as a defensive consultant with Green Bay. Best wishes.
