1. What's it take to get students in the stands these days?
2. Do you see a bump in attendance should the Aggies take on stadium renovations and increase capactiy to say 20,000+ - along with a Mountain West home game schedule? This would take at a minimum 3 to 4 times the student involvement in my opinion to get the stadium marginally full for a game against say Air Force, Wyoming, Hawai'i, Northern Illinois, San Jose State, UNLV, UTEP...New Mexico.

Nice work SochorField.

The pitch is simple, world class education, great coaching, proven track record of players bouncing to FBS programs, Mountain West on the horizon so if you choose to do so you can stay and play.

Gould era was painful - though it did have its moments. Never saw the run game more punishing than under Gould...just seemed to lack a complete, cohesive game plan week-to-week. If we didn't run for 250, we'd lose - that's how I saw the Gould era.

I think it's perfect yes, gets the Weber/SUU/Tech in-state rivalries now in-conference.

Hawai'i, Nevada, Air Force, Army - chose Davis.

MC is a powerhouse

Ask Scott about the Sac State debacle...be sure you've got the whole, accurate timeline in front of you because it's a crazy mess.

See if you can track Kevin Blue down - curious to hear his perspective on how the transition is now shaping up. I think he's up in Canada running Admin for Canada Soccer. Maybe Jake Maier might know how to contact him.

Biggest topic I want to hear about is how well and when the transition will occur - realistic expectations for turnout given the necessary stadium upgrades, and of course, how do we match up in the Mountain West?

UC Davis @ Washington will kickoff at 8 pm on the BIG10 Network. Ugh.

That Blocker film was a fun watch. Not only fast, but he refuses to go down, and uses his blockers effectively.

Beverly V has the perfect OT frame for an 18 year old - long, not too heavy with room to mold. He is relentless with finishing blocks, which is a must as an OL. Hudl

Sam Haener related to Jake Haener?

Good for Fish.

Away Games:
50/50 on the Montgomery game, good buddy who I was going to meet up with has had his circumstances change quite drastically, so we likely can't go together which means I likely can't make that trip...However, this makes it easier for me to attend the at Utah Tech game and the @ Washington game. Going to see if some of the Portland clan can carpool up to Seattle, PA --- let me know.

With my niece soon to be attending Montana State starting this fall, I want to get up to Bozeman for mid-November, but it's...Bozeman in mid-November, we'll see.

I'll be at most home games, SochorField and I may pony up for a tailgate spot this season.

I loved the Aggies' offseason, but man the craziest story of the off-season is easily what's going on in Sacramento.
