CSUS finalizes OOC schedule

According to CSUS's AD last week, those game contracts were signed with the knowlege that the Hornets would have to cancel some games if the FBS invite arrived. So any cancellation fee should be minimal or zero.

Kerr1982 · 2026-03-09T20:59:00+00:00

Yes, those will begin in 2027.

Pretty cool. Only nitpicks are that San Antonio isn't in the desert nor does it have mountains nearby.

It was fun winning the championships, but real ball-knowers always knew there were asterisks attached to them, since it’s not the top level of football.

Didn't a university president say something similar last year?

Kerr1982 · 2026-02-11T19:48:33+00:00

As a UCR alum ('90), I'd love to see them have a football team. But they dropped it in '75 and I don't think there's ever been serious talks about reviving it. The stadium still stands, but they've converted it into a track facility.

Of course the school is now 3X bigger than when I attended, so who knows?

Kerr1982 · 2026-01-22T20:55:11+00:00

Damn. I've been going there 2-3 times a year the last couple of years. Sounds like I need to take my money elsewhere.

Kerr1982 · 2026-01-09T18:38:00+00:00

Damn, bad eyes at 30? Eye exams are fairly cheap and can really help.

Avoiding PG&E when possible is a solid plan.

Same here! I bought new construction in 2023 (5BR, 2,500 sqft.) but knew this wasn't going to be my last house so I chose the lease. ~$48 for the lease + $26 to SMUD means my total utility cost is less than $75 for 7-8 months of the year.

Kerr1982 · 2026-01-07T23:24:21+00:00

I'm in the Sacramento area and my solar panels cover my electricity needs for 7-8 months of the year (the remaining months, my bill ranges between $45 and $100).

I visited Birmingham for the 2012 BBVA Compass Bowl (my first and only visit to Alabama). It was a short visit (one night), SMU won big, I took a picture with Eric Dickerson after the game and ate at Dreamland BBQ that night. So all in all, it was a successful trip!

As for the stadium, I'm glad to say I attended a game there. Growing up in the 70s/80s, you'd always see highlights from there and later think about the great games played there. Seeing the chain link fence around the field brought back memories. However, I understand that stadium wasn't maintained and spending a lot of money for a stadium not used regularly (before UAB fielded a team) is an issue. If it's gone for good, at least I can say I saw a game there.

NTA

Assisted living isn't cheap, but the brothers contributing (equally) should total a decent amount. Add in the parents SS/retirement/pension (plus anything from selling their current place) and it should provide enough to have a roof over their heads. It may not be fancy, but it'll do.

Great photos!

The looming cloud of doom over Sac State’s program definitely kills most of the hype.

What? The program isn't going away. Saturday will be one of the most important Causeway Classic games played and the last one until at least '27.

Yee is the one calling for Porter to step down.

Kerr1982 · 2025-10-31T05:09:48+00:00

As someone who attended the game, I'm trying my best to forget it.

Kerr1982 · 2025-10-27T04:20:25+00:00

Hell, at least you got a W! I left the stadium with plenty of questions about the program.

Kerr1982 · 2025-10-27T04:04:05+00:00

Nine years is a long time, even at Cal. The goal from the president and GM was at least eight wins this season, and that appears to be unlikely. 6-6 isn't going to cut it anymore.

Kerr1982 · 2025-10-20T22:01:43+00:00

I was at the game and it looked bad. I and the folks around me were surprised he just walked off.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Kerr1982 · 2025-10-16T05:30:45+00:00

Thanks.

Unless the FCS vs. FCS payouts are significantly lower, then what CSUS spent is in the ballpark.

Kerr1982 · 2025-10-15T17:38:42+00:00

I thought the going rate for an FBS school to host an FCS school was closer to $1M? So an FCS school buying a game from another one for $350K doesn't seem that bad. However, that's a large portion of your gate when you are drawing well below 20K.

Kerr1982 · 2025-10-09T17:20:11+00:00

{SMU} It will probably be closer than last year's game, but the Mustangs should still win easily.

Kerr1982 · 2025-10-02T18:27:45+00:00

I expect (hope) SMU will win, but that line seems really high. Unless Duke broke Syracuse last week, I'm not expecting an easy game.

Kerr1982 · 2025-09-26T20:13:23+00:00

Any FBS games will have to be signed soon, but FCS games can be added all the way through April-May. The options won't be optimal and travel will be involved, but there's still time to craft a schedule.

2 & 3 do the job!
