My wife and I were at a Giants game a couple of weeks ago and a woman behind us was talking about getting a religious exemption. She worked in some kind of health care. She went on to say she wasn't really religious but, since there were so many people filing for exemptions, she figured it would take a long time before they processed her so she could stay unvaccinated at least until then. So there are people, even in health care, who are willing lie to avoid getting vaccinated. Makes you wonder why they chose to be in a healthcare profession in the first place.

My wife and I just got our Pfizer boosters 2 days ago and we're very happy that we now have even increased protection. If we need to get an annual booster each year or even more frequently, we'll gladly do it because we believe in science and trust the professional, medical community. We believe, that by getting vaccinated, we are not only protecting ourselves but others as well who may come in contact with us, and, yes, we do believe we have a it is a moral responsibility to help prevent the spread of this deadly disease.

It would be great if Aggie Athletics would produce a game preview video like this one before each game:

82 degrees is the forecast for the kickoff at 7 pm. Thank you Aggie Athletics for these later start times when the weather is still hot.

Freshmen stampede this Saturday!

More infö regarding Hunter Rodriques injury:

Aggie quarterback Hunter Rodrigues left the game late in the fourth quarter with what has been determined to be a concussion, leaving his status for Saturday’s home game against Idaho in question.

“He’s progressing well,” Hawkins said of Rodrigues. “He’s doing great, he’s feeling great, he’s out running, so we’ll see. We’re being extra cautious. It makes me proud of our great medical staff. We don’t mess around with a head injury. That’s not a dislocated pinkie we’re dealing with.”

In Rodrigues’ absence, Miles Hastings led the Aggies on the winning touchdown drive that culminated with a 1-yard touchdown run by Trent Tompkins with 27 seconds left.

Noted Tompkins, “We have all the confidence in the world in Miles. He prepares like no other. All the quarterbacks are good friends and we’re all supporting each other.”

I hope the Idaho fans who are making the trip to Davis have read about the proof of vaccination or negative test requirements for entering the stadium.

Only 41% of Idahoans have been fully vaccinated which is the lowest percentage in the country. Hospitals in Idaho are so overwhelmed that they have begun triaging care. Many sick Idahoans are traveling to Washington in hopes of getting care.

Here are the latest details explaining the proof of Covid vaccination or negative test requirements for students and fans in order to enter the stadium. They will have 4 Covid requirement checkpoints around the stadium that open 3 hours before kickoff. Fans can get cleared at these checkpoints in order to avoid lines at the gate.

Quotes from Hawk:

“This was a big win, obviously, but I don’t know where it ranks because there have been so many spectacular wins throughout UC Davis history,” said Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins.

“We just have to keep making progress and one of the great things tonight were all the people who came in and contributed. We just wanted to hang in there until the end. We told the guys this would be a 12-round fight and it was.”

“We have 100% confidence in Miles,” Hawkins said. “He is always well-prepared, and it actually threw a bit of a curveball because his style is a little bit different than Hunter’s. That was a very big catch by Carson to keep the drive alive.”

Hawkins noted that Rodrigues had been “dinged up a bit” but is expected to be fine.

Makes sense, Mike.

The announcers questioned that offensive PI also and the replay looked like it was very, very close. We caught a couple of breaks on the opponents home field which isn't normally the case. Nevertheless, it was a gutsy win by the Aggies to hang in there after getting pushed around in the first half.

So should the call have been defensive holding in the end zone? Is there such a call that's different that defensive PI?

I think the officials must have taken into consideration the fact that the receiver was taken down so there wasn't a target to throw to. Hence, Hastings threw the ball away...??
