Great!! He gets it... Dr. May also visited robotics and women's gymnastics.

Both BS teams hang tough.

Why should we make their life any easier?

The depth chart was the most vague I have ever seen. I don't believe Hawk is making 20-odd player decisions game week. But I hear Tiger Garcia and Brock Dale look particularly strong.

Don't you find it interesting that "wily" Hawkins never laid out our offensive strategy in multiple interviews in print and radio over 3 months? And why is he so vague in naming our 2 deeps.

I err on the side of caution, esp. on the first game where we are huge underdogs.

Bige70, there is more than size and speed and divisional association. Coach Sochor was big on the element of surprise. Am I wrong? Small advantages here and there, plus execution, add up. Should we have told UOP our free safety ran a 4.4 40? Should we blab when our QB is playing hurt and can't throw the long ball?

Maybe follow the DE and remove the offending quotes.

11 true freshmen or RF will see significant action. Coach Long said they were beat a few years ago by an FCS team in similiar circumstances.

Aztecs expecting 50,000 fans for game.

Why make their life easier? Is this our DII mindset, or a lack of street smarts?

Go Ags!

Hawk has been incredibly vague, going so far as to not even release an accurate 2 deep. So they are clearly on a different page. Guessing what will come, and being told what will come, are 2 different things. Unless this is another diversion.

Evidently Plough didn't get the memo that loose lips sink ships.

I watched a few short Aztec videos. They are talking about Stanford, ASU, Boise State... and occasionally they throw out our name. Can you say overlooked?

Containing Perry seems to be one key, possibly exploiting their green offensive line, and keep the TOs down!!!

Any watch parties is SF, Davis, or East Bay?

KHTK didn't do a coaches show?

New Sac Bee article had Hawk saying we could be a sleeping King Kong (??)... and extolling Dr. Mike's exploits as an Aggie. Haven't learned how to link yet from a smartphone.

Hawk known as Opie when he played, and his son Cody Hawkins is now a late addition to the Aggie coaching staff.

Aztec graduate transfer #3 QB Laviano has left the team, will try to land a lacrosse scholarship. Aztecs 2 deep at QB, then basically freshmen.

Best wishes to Will Allen, we had high hopes for him athletically ... hope he thrives academically.

They've also mentioned that they will have to stop Josh Kelly.

Coach Long says Perry tough to tackle... I'm sure they will key on Doss.

We went from being an easy opener to a potential nightmare. If we execute, their coaches gameday adjustments could be really tested.

I think we're the first team I've ever seen refuse to run a 2 minute drill when behind... week after week. As if by will, the clock would reverse.

I think we might see a hook and ladder Wing T option at any moment. .. I like it. And heck, there could be a lityle ball control mixed in too, setting up the surprise. I say we go after the young corners and young O line.

Maybe they grabbed some film on Speckman and Plough; we can even shift gears at halftime and see how well they adjust on a dime. My sources say Gould was respected, but that he had lost the locker room at best after year 3. How many times did we come out FLAT in the 1st quarter????

We need all 3 phases to click. Can our D rattle their inexperienced offensive line? Our announcers may have to review some vintage tapes to describe what they will see coms Saturday. Go Aggies!!

And what will the Aggie D bring?

We will have the element of surprise on both sides of the ball. Parenteau and Leota may shine. Leota is a load.

It sounds like they played like us last year - didn't turn it on until the 4th quarter.

Walsh claimed they gave their RB 10 carries too many, I wonder why that was? Unknown injury to their FB?

Why not move it to a 6.30 start? Or even 7.00? ... The Toom under the lights.

There is an audio interview with Hawk and KNBR 680, I think I caught it on audioboom. 15 minutes. Goes over Hawks career, etc. Only tidbit of note was he said something about we could insert a lot of schemes / plays bc of our kids smarts. No specific info, which I like.

I wonder if we will have the speed or athleticism to compete. I guess execution and gameplan come into play. 6 days.

Any watch parties in Davis or the Bay?
