And yet we are still JV FCS, without a conference at any level and at best we will be playing at an offsite dilapidated horse track, stadium conversion.
did you really think that this jump in Football was going to be a walk in the park? It takes risk especially on a csu budget. No doubt President Wood’s lack of experience definitely showed, he made the BM hire and he really wanted it to work. A couple plays go differently and hornets would be hosting a playoff game this weekend and could have gone on a run into 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs, then the argument is a lot different. That’s the risk but don’t worry it’s easy to stay more like Stanislaus state rather than push to be more like Fresno/San Diego state.
No one forced Wood to not take the $100M he has and build a foundational home side stadium on campus. If the city/county/public support the program, then expand.
Hey. Hornets men's basketball is a really good Div II program, right now.
Your questions are hindsight, of course no one wanted this to be the end result. they’ll have to learn and improve. A lot of novice mistakes were made.
Victory dances by haters? How about the long-term supporters (I'm talking about decades) who are worried about Wood auguring the program the ground? So, since Hornet99 won't answer the question...how about you...what does "bust" mean?
Fingers crossed. It’s makes sense, niu had their last MAC game today. I don’t care what anyone says, sac st is one of the most popular FCS teams in terms of attendance and social media followers, Sac State football wouldn’t bring down the mean if taken in. I could see us being like Kennsaw St or Missouri St with Coach Marion still around.
If MAC or CUSA teams/leadership is smart, theyd welcome Sac St as an opportunity to recruit in a top HS football market. Those programs don’t land a lot of CA players usually
I never said “FBS or bust,” so I’m not sure why that’s being assigned to me. What I’ve actually said is that at Sac State you can’t expect a perfect president in this situation. Usually universities in this situation have a choice between a president who’s strictly academics-focused and not invested in athletics, or a president who genuinely cares about building strong athletic programs, I’m taking the latter every time. Strong athletics elevate the whole university.
If this comment is in 1995 before the student vote to save football, I’d agree with you. Also, if it was before the alternative consultation process earlier this year that raised the fees even more, I’d agree with you.
Wow. Calling out a multi-decade Hornet fan and accusing him of rooting for Woods and BM to fail is insane. To put it mildly, you don't know what you are talking about.
I absolutely hope you are correct that football isn't going anywhere...but at the sake of redundancy I can't help but be concerned with Wood continuing to say "or bust".
Not going to stop call out your bull shit.
