Ham knew everyone. Did he call everyone "babe"? ... He got coffee in the Coffeehouse all the time.

I only got to see Ham at Rec Hall, I bet Hickey was amazing...esp with the Band. When I traveled to away games, fans always asked, "Is your band here?"

Sweet! One of our best teams ever?

We need to get some alums to comment on this article. Very good article, no mention of Foster and Arp.

Did Gould not continue the helmet rule?

We're'nt we middle of the pack with Biggs and a much smaller budget?

Edit: I agree OA, cautiously optimistic.

New facilities also in the pipeline, brother.

I'm not worried. Contrast this with Tumey's glacial pace. The most important thing is to land the right people. Given Hawk's history with Coach Speckman, I wouldn'tt doubt he evaluated and strategized needs with him and options. I know Coach Wulff favorited a tweet of Hawk's after he joined us.

Our staff's experience has taken a quantum leap.

Did I miss something? Hiring seemed fairly prompt, esp. since Dr. Blue moved quickly to land Hawk. You should read the grumbling on other sites with their envy at our quick action. Gould's staff appeared to do an excellent job with early, solid commits.

McCann seemed to do a solid job, but who broke out besides Doss? Harrell shows promise, and better strategy will help.

We could have won 5 games this year without miracles, I hope Hawk and Co can get there this year.

His wife and oldest son Cody were there.

We have 14 commits that we know of... do we know how many scholarships we have to give total?

Merry Christmas to our new and departed coaches, and to all of our Aggie family and friends. Happy Holidays. And ... Go Ags!

oldschool, you have to be happy with the quantum leap in experience level of our top coaches...

Lots to be excited about, it seems very strategic. Tucker had huge success and should have the Jucos wired in SoCial. Plough gained more experience and confidence, and he will get to collaborate with Speckman. Foster and Young add their grit. Huge. ... I saw Wulff favorite a tweet of Hawks so thought he may be in the running, but Plough put up some big numbers... I'm assuming that is not just sheer talent. HUGE!?

P.S. Dr. Blue some would consider being in California a 'structural advantage' for our program.

Go Ags!

Is that why they have their knickers pulled tight?

It looked like I couldn't even comment on their "blog"... ironic? ... I thought about emailing the obsessive writer, asking why he can't chill out... any thoughts?

The cumulative years of experience we will have ... cumulative years as HCs... cumulative years as OCs or DCs ... it doesn't even compare to where we were 4 years ago... let's just say that was a youth movement. Increased salaries probably helped.

Marijuana is legal and heavily used in Colorado, right? ... that, and maybe a lack of sunlight? Cabin Fever?

6'5", 260#s ...great news ...

Never understood why we don't focus more on the East Bay, South Bay, Central Valley ... Hawkins said he wanted to focus more here. I think it's great news.

We recently brought in some great recruits from Arizona, but 2-3 studs quickly left. Those departures really hurt. My wild guess is that it would be easy to oversell them, and / or the transition from Arizona might be tough for them to anticipate. ... Kids from Northern Cal have a better understanding of who we are, a rainy winter, etc. Family, friends, girlfriends can see them play and visit more often.

Have they ever heard the phrase "Get a Life"? They seem obsessed by him... let him go, they had a good season, move on.

Here is a short video of Coach Plough at NAU, he mentions one of his mentors at UCD was Coach Stangs / Skangs ??? who went onto the NFL...??? Good clip, funny one liners.

Sweet. Second Juco transfer in the trenches, and I think they both may be able to make spring ball!
