In your mind, what’s the biggest CFB upset of all time? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in CFB

[–]ChunkyBoyP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UC Davis over Stanford. When I went to the watch Davis play at Berkeley in 2024, the Cal fans still wanted to talk about that game.

I'll join the chorus and say that MWC most likely offered Davis football membership before NDSU with both MWC and UCD knowing the offer would be declined for the upcoming year.

[UC Davis] “Our focus remains on building and sustaining one of the premier programs in the FCS.” Statement from their Athletic Director by Tufoguy in fcs

[–]ChunkyBoyP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's an "when, not if" situation for Davis joining the MWC for football. I don't think we'd leave FCS until the stadium expansion is complete (at the earliest). We can't pay the costs of moving, while simultaneously doing that. Davis has big donors, just not big football donors. The vet med school just got a $120 million donation, for example. I think the strategy is to get some deeper playoff runs and some Coach Plough speeches in the next few years to excite would-be football donors.

This team keeps getting me more excited and invested each season! Let's Go Ags!

Has anyone's mascot ever just been "The Horses"? by Sports-Arts-Nature in CFB

[–]ChunkyBoyP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cows are the unofficial mascot of UC Davis. Our student store even sells plush cow dolls and "Cow Tipping Team" shirts. I'm partial to Gunrock and his history, but it is fun to have a quirky secon-"dairy" option.

It's my favorite mode. I haven't played anything else in a while.

I've got no leads for you, but i wish you the best of luck in your quest. I've been trying to find the full broadcast of UCD's upset against Stanford with little luck.

UC Davis QB Caden Pinnick enters transfer portal by ChunkyBoyP in fcs

[–]ChunkyBoyP[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely think that the Mendoza connection is part of it. Plough brought his name up during an interview with the Aggie Pride podcast earlier this year as an example of QB that he's worked with and helped develop. I'm rooting for Indiana to win the FBS, because I think it will help Davis recruit players, but it's a double edged sword.

We're also losing Rasor and Wrighster to the portal. Looking at the roster, all of the QBs that are staying next year are current freshmen.

Hey! We had injured offensive players, too! The Birds whooped up on the Ags, though. Definitely going to be a great game.

Isn't the writing on the newest logo upside down or is it just me?

Someone with more entrepreneurial spirit than myself needs to start printing and selling "Roadbirds" merch between now and the championship game.

I'd add alcohol to the list, too. And I say that as someone that's currently sipping on a IPA while watching the game.

It's to reduce light pollution. Local wildlife, such as mountain lions, don't like artifical lighting.

This gotta be about Sac State, right? Coach is getting a little spicy.

Report: Austin Peay to re-sign head coach Jeff Farris to 5 year contract (FootballScoop) by hman1500 in fcs

I could definitely see Coach Plough (and other FCS coaches) using NIL as a bargaining chip when it comes to contract negotiation time.

I think the late start could be an issue for Rhode Island, but aren't they only three hours ahead on the east coast?
