PWO offers from Virginia Tech & Wyoming.

I watched his senior highlight tape, and he had 4-5 20 yard runs, wouldn't avoid contact. He moves pretty decent for a big guy. Can throw it against his body with strength, on the run, can tear drop it in, and even the shovel pass flip. Threw it 55 yards for a game winning TD w 4 seconds remaining against his body, not 100% planted.

Not sure of the comp level. 4.3 GPA.

My mistake, I just checked a few articles and saw no details. I *think* the AD said they'll honor the contract, but likely no athletic gear monies, TV / radio, etc.

I watched most of the presser. He did let out that being responsible for 100 18-22 year olds isn't easy ... and they make dumb choices.

He also mentioned stress, and not enjoying the Rose Bowl.

Speaking of championship games, did Sochor enjoy McAllen, Texas? He was interviewed at halftime, we were down, and he was calm.

So let me get this straight ... Coach Pete is going to make somewhere between $3-5 Million per year (til 2023) while he decides what to do the next 10-15 years?

Edit: I didn't see any contract details.

Yes. Better weather. Close to family & the Wine Country. Consultant like Sam Young?

He could also teach Leadership classes to undergrads, GSM, and corporations in the Silicon Valley.

If he hasn't taken a long break in 30 years ...

Presser, sounds like he may want to work in "leadership / team building" ... undefined.

This year's team was 7-5.

Four losses by 6 points or less.

The 'big' loss was at Stanford by 10 points.

He had a job where he commuted by boat, in shorts ... he's had a long run.

Recent records:

19: 7-5
18: 10-4
17: 10-3
16: 12-2
15: 7-6

Head coaches Choat & Hauck want to break up the Big Sky.

They were whining about the size of the BS. So its not cookie cutter conference. The BS getting 3-4 bids seems to answer their biggest complaint.

Bozeman Daily Chronicle: Number of teams leaves Big Sky with uncertain future

Long article. Choat thinks more teams would make the playoffs with a smaller conference, but the Big Sky gets a lot of entrants.

"Wistrcill said he’s often asked about the status of affiliate members like Cal Poly and UC Davis, both of which are only in the Big Sky in football. He’s asked if they would either be added as full-time members or if they would be pushed out of the conference."

The next logical step? Fill what we have, consistently, and learn how to handle that - i.e., concessions (a line 25 or more deep?), etc. The large new portable water stations were nice.

My guess is Sat night games fit students schedules better, but our season ticket base appears to have aged, and BS schools may prefer the earlier start?

Adding some modest architectural pieces might help fan experience - unobtrusive sun shades?

Long term, I thought a deck over the visitors side was considered.

[Edit.] Wow, Fresno from 12-2 to 4-8. San Jose finishes 5-7 -- a 4 win improvement.

Cal picks up 2 wins with QB Garbers, over Ford & UCLA, now 7-5.

But a vast improvement. 4 wins? Easier to recruit.

It helps to build relationships. Coach Stewart got Stanford to come here! But the WCC is bigger.

Ham played Santa Clara often, they even played at Rec Hall. ... I believe we chose not to play Sac a few years back when we were scheduling weak OOC schedules.

Spencer Clayton, and the young man who went back to Australia prematurely.

We already knew about one.

Still an outstanding class. D line is a need and we've got at least 2 studs there, and a stud LB.

Next year a more favorable schedule, this year was a gauntlet, and we battled. Lots of injuries, but no excuses. Go Ags!

I think you meant Don MacLean.

Les has had some high player turnover. He doesn't normally recruit bigs, and then they often don't see the floor. Bozner, one Mormon young man, etc. Lengthy wings would help his system, but they're tough to get.

Our recent JC recruit Jonah Underwood, 6'9", 20 PPG, 10.7 RPG and 2.9 BPG at SJCC, couldn't get off the bench. He had 3 rebounds, a bucket and a steal vs Arizona, but rarely (never?) played in league. A player with that size can be developed, and at least provide interior defense and rebounding.

Maybe something else is going on.

Hunter Rodriquez - Soph, 6'0", 180
Brock Johnson - Junior, 6'2", 200

Gunner Faulk - RFrosh, 6'1", 195
Trent Tompkins - Frosh, 6'0", 200
Miles Hastings - Frosh, 6'1", 180

2020 Signee

Grant Harper *** - 6'2", 200

[Edited]

It seems like some games we only play 7 or 8.

No word on what our young QBs look like?

I'm not comparing D2 comp to DI comp; I'm noting we competed with people deeper than SF State and equal to ourselves or above (UOP) physically.

Don't forget, we started out poorly O'Brien's junior year.
