Against RI ... cow bells, farm tractor?

We bought 1,000 tickets for students, and apparently there was little / no outreach to students informing them.

I don't know him, but his family is local, and he's excelling. Why ruin a great thing at QB central? I can see him considering it more fully next year w 2 years under his belt.

Don't forget, the NDSU QB drafted round 1 by the 49ers. FCS QBs go to The Show all the time. Going to a big program is a huge risk especially w rosters loaded with 4 star and 5 star QBs. You can get lost. Coach Gould had high hopes for Jordan Allen, he went from here, to SFCC, then Tennessee, then Weber?

Game strategy - recent game, Pinnick stayed home (few runs).

Marketing not falling asleep. Six Associate ADs and they basically ignored a home playoff game for our no. 1 sport.

Quoting Stan Becton's article on Facebook.

Hack City also bypassed SOS.

ICA muffed that.

Coach Plough covered this in an interview and said you've got the top 20-25 teams (not Cal), and everybody else. That it is a time of great flux. His family is his anchor, and he wants to win a championship here.

You apparently don't know Cal well. They have 'mic' majors like Recreation Management, Criminal Justice, and Communications.

I hope Plough stays, he wouldn't take the gig for three years, and bc Sac overpaid doesn't mean we should overpay. Yes, give him a raise, and extend his contract by two years.

Top Dog. He could live in Walnut Creek. But I agree, he's establishing our future foundation and a tie to his mentor.

They struggled to beat Holy Cross (9-7), and lost to Brown.

Two big RBs (220#s), and 3-4 tall WRs (6'2" - 6'3").

Three hours from Kevin Daft. (Is in person scouting helpful?)

Has Jaden Few been starting all year?

And he doesn't factor in no bye (for RI), less time to prep, traveling 3,000 miles, and a #79 SOS.

NCAA / Stan Becton (Facebook post) predicts we lose.

" No. 9 Rhode Island at No. 8 UC Davis
Winner: Rhode Island

"Rhode Island knocks off UC Davis in an 8-9 sedd battle. While I like UC Davis’ freshman quarterback Caden Pinnick, the Aggies have a suspect defense. Meanwhile, Rhode Island has an experienced offense led by quarterback Devin Farrell and wide receiver Marquis Buchanan.

"The URI offense gets the job done."

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?
