Well, this is going to be way more comfortable than last week :).

Im going to wait for official word then book. If it ended up being a morning game, id head that way today. Still a few variables to work out.
Go Ags! Beat J street! Sac state sucks!

Just got word this game will be moved to Reno. Announced at 11am.

I figured. Air this morning is absolutely terrible. CK, did they say what time kickoff is?

Wow, great sleuthing!

“We are closely watching the AQI and will continue to abide by the well-established NCAA guidelines that govern air quality. We are in constant communication with the Big Sky Conference about the game, and are evaluating contingency plans should a necessary change in the game time or location takes place.”

Just saw that:

The weather guy on kcra Sac is predicting Saturday will be like today. Need to knock that fire down.

Thanks. But i am mainly referring to the broadcast being aligned with live action, and mainly football, for those who enjoy listening while attending the event.

Yes, much worse today,and there was a significant difference between day and evening from my casual observations. I could see stars last night in Woodland. How about this contingency plan: plan to have the game at noon. If the air quality is bad, we tailgate until it improves. Honestly, there could be a huge difference in air quality between noon and 7pm.

Wow, and that should help recruiting. Very nice.

The air was much better last night then today. My eyes burn and i feel lethargic. There is a slight north breeze, just enough to push this gunk into the valley. If the game gets moved to Reno - I’ll be there, and with Dr. Milke’s wife’s luck with the one arm bandits, he could go home a rich(er) man!

Regarding the radio broadcast, there is a huge delay between live action and the broadcast. I enjoy listening to the commentary as i watch the game live, especially for football. KDVS’s coverage was very close to play action. I realize for call in radio they need to have a delay - wish 1140 would decrease it for live sports action.

With Thomson back and Dotson at RB, thats a 1-2 punch. But sucs seasonal mantra has been dropped passes and penalties. Our D will be the best they’ve faced post SDSU.

Good fine and info, i’ve been watching for an announcement like this. It’s a reasonable approach considering all the variables.

Ha ha, and maybe a free breakfast burrito!

The latest from Dr. Blue. No mention of the smoke, sounds like the plan is to march forward. Go Ags!

We are very excited about the upcoming Causeway Classic rivalry game and look forward to seeing you at Aggie Stadium on Saturday at Noon. Come cheer on the team as they attempt to clinch a share of the Big Sky Conference championship and secure a berth in the FCS Playoffs.

I wanted to write to you today with some important information about tickets for a possible home game on Saturday, November 24 in the FCS Playoffs. This game would, most likely, kick off in the late afternoon.

Selections for the FCS Playoffs will be made on Sunday, November 18 at 9:30am on ESPNU. I invite you to join the team for a selection show viewing party at the ARC Ballroom. Until then, we won’t know for sure if we’ll be selected for the playoffs, whether we’ll host any games, or when games will start. However, in preparation for selections, we wanted to send out information to make sure that you are informed about how the ticketing process will work.

We are bidding to host as many playoff games as possible at Aggie Stadium. Significant weight is given to the financial component of a bid when the NCAA decides who will host games in the opening round. Accordingly, to help increase our chances of playing an opening round game at home on November 24, we’d very much appreciate your support in purchasing tickets for it. Even if you can’t make it to the game on November 24, we’d ask you to consider purchasing tickets and allow us to redistribute them to local youth groups so they can attend the game. Revenue from ticket sales directly helps pay the financial guarantee that host teams owe to the NCAA.

Beginning today, you can place a conditional order for tickets to all FCS Playoff games that could be played at UC Davis. Please place your order by using the attached form or the online form at this link. Season ticket holders will have first rights to purchase tickets for their usual seats, as long as they are purchased by 5pm on Wednesday, November 21. You will not be charged for your conditional order for any game until the NCAA confirms that UC Davis is hosting that game. UC Davis students will be admitted for free.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the ticket office at (530)752-2471 between 10am and 4pm on weekdays, or reply to this email. The ticket office will also be open on Sunday, November 18 from 10am until 4pm, to answer your questions and take orders on the day that playoff selections are made. Complete information about the FCS Playoffs can be found on the FCS Playoffs Central website at this link.

Thanks again for your support of UC Davis Football. We are excited about the possibility of competing in the FCS Playoffs and look forward to hosting games at Aggie Stadium, should the opportunity arise.

Go Ags!

Aside from Thomson, they have a really good RB who can break it open. I was at their game against PSU. They looked like a beat team out the gate. But with this rivalry, and if they take a double dose of Geritol, you never know what might happen. As Hawkins keeps saying, any given team in this conference can beat another team.

Now a reversal from the earlier release, Campus is "closed". To me that implies employees are included. I think what they really mean is that classes will not resume today. I am posting these updates as it relates to our big game issue.

NEW CAMPUS UPDATE: Chancellor May and other campus leaders have heard the community’s concerns. The Chancellor regrets any stress or inconveniences our previous update caused. We are all learning together.

The Davis and Sacramento campuses will be closed today and classes canceled. The UC Davis hospitals, primary care clinics, Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, and Student Health and Wellness will remain open. The N95 masks will be available at the UC Davis Fire Department on the Davis campus, and at Employee Health, UC Davis Health on the Sacramento campus.

We will provide further updates later today.

Great shirt! How do i get one?
