With all this hype I am very glad that this is an away game. The aggies will go into an unfriendly stadium and will have to shed all the emotion from the PSU game and start new. Whereas Weber will be very excited and driven emotionally to win. We need to be cool, cold and calculating for this game, especially at QB. If we do that we can win.

I missed the game is there anyway to get a restream?

USNews claims vaguely that it uses "algorithms" that are fair to all that it rates. But, then admits that such things as "reputation", etc. are based upon subjective reports from those that may well have a bias toward their own college (hence older universities win out-I.e. more reporters). Items like "student teacher ratio" are easily manipulated. Student diversity is not a criteria. Alumni "giving" is part of the equation when it has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of education. I could go on an on and many have done it better than me before. With all the UCs (except Berkeley and UCLA) its a roll of the dice year to year just like it is with the "top five." So I have to take some solace that Stanford is probably humiliated with It's #5 rating this year..

I have a technical question regarding the no huddle offense: is the QB calling audibles and then the snap is called with a hand clap? I obviously could not hear anything on the streaming video but it seems to work. Also, it seeemed that the fly was called a few times. Seeemed to work as well.

Ditto Ivy League- "leadership grants".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the last time USD came to davis Harbaugh was the coach and I think it was the first year we played in the new stadium. The visiting team was in front of the aggie pack. The toreros had a great QB, but forget his name. Game was close. Pack was all over their QB from the sidelines with clever chants. Harbaugh was incensed and screamed at the crowd. His QB got really upset started into the stands to take on the pack. He was restrained by fellow players to the delight of the Aggie fans. Chaos loomed. I think we won, but I have never liked Harbaugh ever since that game and I am a devoted 49er fan. Rumor had it that the referees told our AD to move the visitor team to the other side of the field or they would not return and I think that happened. Is it still the case?

Dunning is getting old and too serious. In the good old days he'd say Ags by 1 and not worry about his record . . . . Sad to see, even if he might be correct.

Yes, sorry for the mustangs. #23 losing to an unranked team at home not good. I will say that if this was an aggie game on August 26 30+ days before the kids come to school no one would show up for the game. But poly had a good crowd. From what I saw poly still has way more talent than we do by far. Hope I'm wrong.

Any comments as to whether or why the CB's were playing too far off the receivers? Just an observation from someone who was there, not me. Maybe Hawk is juicing up the offense for the media a bit. Not really a good idea if so. On a more positive note, I think having Spencer now available as a slot who can throw the ball and catch the ball makes for some interesting plays for Hawk. Options everywhere for a very athletic player.

I would say that the down linemen face to face within inches- yes, very much so if the SDSU guy next to them is a carrier. So what do we do? Call the game. Is there a vaccine for CP? This is getting too weird. Heck, now they pull a player for any blood shown no matter what, just for the possible HIV threat.

But according to wiki CP as a virus is air or touch borne only (why most gyms turn off fans during flu season) so precautions good- wiping down useless. BTW I want these players healthy on game day else all we will hear from the commentators is how bad the CP is effecting the game.

Well, wont we be in "close contact" with them in about two weeks. As most parents know, chicken pox is insanely contagious. But maybe the only way can win this game is with the help of a virus. New meaning for "body bag" game?

Well said. But I think he decided to take the FBS bet which may or may not have been a real smart idea. Smart if he makes the top 2 RB slots, but if he stays at 3 not so much if any significant playing time vrs staying here and playing a lot. And by the way, how do/can you stop poaching? Is it a NCAA violation? Seems very hard to stop this practice.

I loved the guy and feel he will do well in business. What about joe harden? Didn't he play in Europe as well? I like it that we try and keep up with these great former players.

Why did this have to happen? Was he so attached to Gould that he had to transfer? Aren't there rules against D1 poaching players? UCLA is pretty classy in this area, so I bet he just transferred thinking he was so good that UCLA would bite. I this is the only significant loss from the Gould firing I am not at all unhappy.

Don't know.how much does this cost us? Who did this before? A lot of questions, but I do trust Blues judgement on this stuff. They were just sold to a NY Comcast affiliate. God knows Comcast has billions of cash to play with, but they rarely pick a loser.

He mentioned the softball facility. Does anyone know if the plan is to move the softball field to a new location or just upgrade the present site. I have always thought that the present location was bad for a number of reasons including a total lack of parking.

I think ucsd's main problem was that they are not D1 and the time and confusion its takes to get there nowadays is something BW doesn't need. But sacs there already and they are competitive now. A little more geographical balance would be good for the BW. And definitely would help the Ags. Have they just given up on the BW. We are a much better conference than BS for all non football programs.

He is probably making more there than he did here as HC. So, no buyout?

What about sac? Seems that the geography of the league would support them over San Diego.
