So, it looks like there is some bad blood between Suck and Davis. Is this a long standing feud we should know about? Is it as heated as the Montana - Montana St., Weber - Idaho St, etc rivalries? It would be nice to hear about this since you guys are joining the Sky soon. BTW WELCOME TO THE BIG SKY

I graduated with my first degree from UCD in 1978, so I have seen a lot of UCD - Slac State football games. The schools are about 25 miles apart and compete for the same TV and media coverage. Like other states, we have state colleges and university of CA system for public higher education. At UCD, we have a veterinary school, a medical school, a law school, etc. We are also an Ag school. Entrance as an undergraduate is highly competitive - these kids are all A students out of high school. A degree from UCD is highly regarded. Slac State on the other hand, is where students go when they can not get into the U of CA system. It is a good rivalry, which has gotten out of hand at times. UCD, with higher academic standards for students, misses out on some talented athletes because they can not handle the academics. But, we have won "most" of the football contests historically. Slac State has won the last two.
Cal Poly SLO is a state school with an outstanding academic program and a great football program. They are our other big rivals, but from this fans perspective, I have great admiration for that school.
Maybe others can chime in from the Aggie Board and give you their perspective.

Do you even think that UCD can replace ISU as the last place team? Good times are coming to Pocatato!
I for one, am very happy that there are going to be two highly respected academic institutions joining the Sky. HOnestly, I really wish SLO and Davis were joining the Sky as full memebers. Oh well...
As for the game. Weber needs to improve on three areas. 1. DL needs to put pressure on the QB and be more consistent getting into the backfield. 2. Cam needs to relax and just have fun. Against Sac, granted, there were some really insteresting calls that screwed Weber out of points which aren't his fault, but you could tell that he wasn't comfortable. He needs to find a WR he has absolute faith in. You could tell, last week, that he was hesitant throwing to some guys. 3. DISCIPLINE!! Way to many TO's and Penalties this season. There were way to many, AGAIN, last week. Granted, Yes, there was only one actual TO, but you have to remember that there were three other indirect TO's which resulted in SAC scores, or in Weber not getting needed points.
For instance, first, the roughing the punter call...Weber had excellent field position and had stopped SAC, which gave the defense, overall team, momentum and confidence. Yet, it was all for not, because it was erased after the penalty. Not only did the Hornets get the ball back, but SAC scored at TD on the ensuing drive.
Next, the fake FG, that was an absolute disaster. WTF was that play?? Okay, the holder picks up the ball and runs a boot-leg towards the short side of the field. Did the OC not learn from last years MSU loss?
Finally failing to convert on a couple of 4th downs. Granted, the last one was a crap shoot since SAC was playing for the W and Weber was playing not to lose (which happens to often). But the previous one was again, an idiotic call.
I hop they worked out the kinks duirng the week and can play a total game today for Homecoming.
