I actually feel better about our performance in the game after watching these highlights. Our offense struggled, for sure, but we shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times also when we were moving the ball with a fumble and an interception too.

All the breaks also went EWU's way. The ruling on the potential Aggie interception that was ruled a fumble, or whatever they ruled that kept the ball with EWU, was a big break for them. It kept their drive alive. The Ags thought they had another turnover on a fumble recovery that was ruled in favor of EWU and another possible INT that the Ags thought they had went in favor of EWU also. No one could see whether the ball touched the ground on that possible INT by the Ags including the refs but the call went against the Ags with no replay. These breaks were huge for EWU.

Then there was the blatant personal foul by EWU's Keshawn King when he smacked Crawford in the face right in front of two refs. The refs were literally 5 feet away and neither one did a thing. We were driving deep in their territory at the time and a 15 yard penalty would have been huge.

EWU's offensive numbers were gaudy, no doubt, and, even if the breaks went our way, it may not have made a difference. However, despite the numbers being put up by EWU, we were in the game right into the 4th quarter and, with a break or two going our way, this game might have gone right down to the wire.

I'm glad I watched these highlights. We played better than I thought and we competed hard against a very good football team. We just need to put this behind us and take out our frustrations on Sac!

UCLA 100 Long Beach State 79
Washington State 73 UCSB 65

I think so.

Sac makes a 3 point play with 6.8 seconds left on a driving layup with a foul to beat Poly 58-57.

UCSB played a surprisingly poor first half at Washington State and trails 41-25 at the half.

The Beach is going toe-to-toe with #2 UCLA and only trail by 3 at the half 48-45.

Utah Valley beats Pepperdine 86-74 in OT. The Ags visit Pepperdine on Wednesday.

Well deserved for sure!

:rofl: My wife rolls her eyes when she realizes that I'm watching a replay of a game we just attended!

I forgot about the Pepperdine game. I'll take a glimpse at it too and will probably be running live stats on all the games. That way I can see when the action is getting good and go take a look.

We've had several INT's that were dropped in the last couple of games also. After our first two games, we led the nation in INT's but we've had some unfortunate drops here lately. I hope we've got a lot of the missed opportunities out of our system.

I'll be multitasking! I'll be 49ers on TV and the Poly game on my laptop. The 49ers game shouldn't conflict much with the other two games.

Wait...I thought we were ready for the PAC12! :yikes:

Yes, I bet some of the frustration for Harrell was how EWU was pushing our defense around and how our offense was sputtering. Of course, we've never beaten EWU and that's got to be frustrating for him. Maybe we'll get another chance in the playoffs.

I like it when the crowd is into it and the players try to get the crowd to get even louder. However, I think it's a bit demoralizing for the players when they feel like the crowd is just sitting silent and they need to implore them to make some noise.

I'm not sure why so many Aggie fans are so reserved with their enthusiasm and support. Many of the fans in my section don't even stand up for the kickoffs which is an Aggie tradition.

I sure hope we get a home game, We had a good turnout for the UNI game and the fans were into it. If we beat Sac, I think we'll host a second round game which would be great but I'd be happy for a first round home game if we lose to Sac also.

I agree, not like him at all. I would guess that something happened on the field that really got to him.

We left with about 5 or 6 minutes to go in the game because we were worried about the drive back to Sacramento in the dense fog. We heard on the radio that there was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Ags for something and they didn't say who it was on. I think it was after EWU scored their final TD.

Anyone know what that was about? Also, I wonder if Harrell's frustration could have been about something that happened on the field...?

Ugh...It's hard for me to understand that anyone would select a CSUS education over UCD...that is if an education is a priority for them in the first place!
