  • 2023 Season Preview
    yah, I kind of thought so too. I thought Harper looked good last year when given opportunities. There was a video time constraint evidently and if so you have to pick and choose.
  • 2023 Season Preview
    Hauck gives pricks a bad name. His true character comes out in press conferences after a loss. Some unbelievably poor ones last year. Even treats his own local press like manure. Guess as long as he wins most of his games, the AD and University leaders don’t care. So glad that Davis has class from coaches to players.
  • USD Torero HC laid off, new HC hired
    USD AD or whomever could have said something like “we have decided to go a new direction” or some other double speak that at least can be deciphered as a “firing”. Saying he retired is just low. Do they teach this stuff in ethics and HR classes these days? It’s all crisis management and PR and lawyers these days and no honesty/humanity.

    Could be a bit of age discrimination but wouldn’t be able to prove that. Experience (only obtained over years - and the wisdom of age) is less valued these days.
  • New Rule Changes for Football
    not to mention lime and fertilizer….
  • The UC Davis Football Draft/UDFA Thread
    right. That’s why I could handle D1A and D1AA
  • The UC Davis Football Draft/UDFA Thread

    I read that Deion Sanders was upset with only 1HBCU player getting drafted, so I did a little research:

    22 HBCU teams
    133 total FBS teams
    16.5 percent hbcu

    10 FBs drafted
    .165 x 10= 1.7 so 1 or 2 if even odds.

    With only 10 FBS drafted and the quality of the HBCU leagues not at top tier, I didn’t find it to be too much of a surprise. I also found it a bit rich that Sanders says this after bailing out of the HBCU scene.

    I think about 22 FBS players were drafted either last year or the year before. Like others say, the transfer portal may have some effect.
  • Mike Cody promoted to OC
    Maybe one of us retired guys can volunteer as a proof reader for the material put up on the web. I sure hope the Aggies break the C of I record mark of 30.9 yards of offense per game!

    ***********************************************************
    Under Cody's watch, the Yotes set the school record for total offense in his first season, then broke the record again in 2017. In 2018, his offense average 30.9 yards per game, the most by a C of I team in 65 years.

    and speed and quickness. Purdue was big and slow and I don’t think they were ready for the quicks that are in shorter supply in big 10.
  • 2023 Football Recruiting
    ach du Lieber! Gotta love the potential with that frame and speed.
  • New QB coach
    doesn’t sound like it - hope he works out. Maybe at least he knows what not to do judging from his own QB stats :-).
  • SDSU Head Coach Stiegelmeier retires
    Tom Brady should have done the same thing. Stig’s got more class though. Good for him.
  • What Will It Take to Keep Pace with the Success of Sac State Now?
    I think you mean the added playoff games? Forgot about Montana’s and Sac State’s stellar defensive showings on the playoffs. And Webers not so bad showing.
  • What Will It Take to Keep Pace with the Success of Sac State Now?
    Just looked at the conference and overall stats for big sky. UCD allowed the fewest points in both conference and overall. And also just barely second to Montana State in league point differential.

    My take away is that the defense was actually pretty darn good this past season and the differentials in the beat downs gained the the near first place rank in point differential.

    Ever notice that on the past year or 2 you only need 9.5 yards to get a first down? I know they don’t measure to speed the game up, but NDSU was just given a first down when they were almost a full yard short.
  • 2022 FCS Playoff Schedule & Scores
    NDSU is not the same team as in the past - in large part due to their very mediocre QB.
  • 2022 FCS Playoff Schedule & Scores
    Slow safety of sdsu gets burned to make it more interesting. Rooting for SDSU.
  • 2022 FCS Playoff Schedule & Scores
    Weird to be on Sunday, but on abc and at a more decent hour. Previously was at 11:00 am which would mean a west coast team would be playing at 9:00 am (of course a while since a west coast team played in championship - EWU in 2018). 1:00 local now.
  • 2023 Roster
    Thorpe enrolled at UCD in fall 2019 so he could be graduating in spring. This years roster had him listed as a junior, but that would be athletic eligibility I think. I don’t believe he red-shirted.

    539 yds IW to 333 bizzzzzon. 4 turnovers for incarnate word. One was on the 2 yard line when center snapped the ball when Scott wasn’t looking. There were also 2 big calls that went NDSUs way that I think were incorrect. The called touchdown in the back of the end zone (tv announcers said it should stand) and the ball didn’t come loose until out of the end zone and the fumble IW recovered late in game that the refs just stared at instead of getting in and making a decisive call. To cover their butts they just let the “call” stand.

    Exactly. Quit pumping and just throw it.
