    Predictable. High school coaches in the stands were calling out the plays in advance. Thank you, Terry Tumey.
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    Canzano: Will the Pac-12 stop at Texas State or keep going?

    "The Pac-12 has now pivoted its focus to adding a football-only member, sources tell JohnCanzano.com . Adding a ninth football-playing member would create an eight-game conference football schedule, relieving the burden of finding one more non-conference game. It would also add tonnage and value to the Pac-12’s TV deal.

    "Who are the candidates? Is the University of Memphis still a target? How about another Texas-based football member? UTSA? Rice University? Someone else?

    "Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould said on Wednesday that her conference is asking itself some other questions..."

    Sac State ... or UC Davis... would add the Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto TV market ...

    JL came unglued on the sidelines, not good. I saw his social media posts flaunting his drinking downtown. Players said he had a gun for an arm.

    Scott Marsh asked Coach Sochor after one decent game to.compare JL to Ken O'Brien. Sochor was almost tongue tied.

    Wright got shoved into the Cal game when Denham left for his calling. That was an ugly game for us. Is he still a preacher?

    Gould had Wright (?), then Laughrea, before Ben Scott.

    Two shorter 230# DL ... will they play rush or OLB / DL?
  • CAL AD retires
    Looks like they named current employees co ADs.

    Are wagers taken on Sac State FB?
  • New Uniforms
    I see they stopped harvesting the 300 million Tahoe crawdads, even though they hurt lake clarity.
  • UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow
    Sac has the HC hype, recruiting class, and no Sacramento competition.

    Then what? No stadium, no suitable nearby stadium (Hughes?), no Phil Knight, no big time DI hoops facilities, lagging overall sports facilities (??), not a deal like Fresno State where they could try to draw 30K to 40K a game, and possibly most important, Sac is a government town. Not Silicon Valley. Gotta compete w Tahoe, wine country, Bay Area, etc. It's a big lift.
  • Kevin Blue Leaving
    You neglect to mention the hiring of Dan Hawkins to rebuild Aggie football, and he was likely knee deep in helping fund the high performance facility and naming rights. Blue and Rocko.

    No Hawkins, who knows where we are now. Possibly no new HP facility, maybe Coach Plough doesn't come back.
  • New Uniforms
    If Santa Clara kept football, SMC might have stayed around longer. UOP as well.

    So when do we see a gold cleat, a Tahoe cleat, and the mirror helmut - at the same time?

    Are we inking more guys earlier this year?
  • Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread
    A roommate decades ago had a high GPA from a tony suburb, He was a junior studying ME, very sharp. His frosh girlfriend beat the drum about her 4.0 from a backwater Central Valley HS. He bit his tongue. She was subsequently slaughtered on her first set of midterms. The standardized tests were supposed to sort for this, and call out diamonds in the rough.

    Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Brown, Georgetown, Caltech, and others are reinstating the objective tests.

    Harvard College: "More information about an applicant, especially such strongly predictive information, can be valuable. Reinstating a testing requirement will bring important and consistent information back into the admissions process."

    In the olden days I was told we didn't allow anyone w under a 3.0 on campus.

    Can we ask Stanford FB for another scrimmage?

    A year before our historic upset, we scrimmaged them and it reportedly allowed us to realize a) they're human, and b) we can play w them.
