I lived in Davis as a kid. You could get into the end zone section for a quarter, and it absolutely looked like the third video, aside from the selection of dance moves. Glad to see it hasn't changed in 50 years
Welcome back! Really appreciate these during the season and always learn things. There is absolutely no history of Wilcox teams being able to take FCS teams lightly. We will be grateful to win.
Nick Saban brilliantly chewed out a a reporter over a discussion regarding playing late season game agains a FCS team. He explained to the reporter that there was a reason we play games: it's to find out who is the better team on game day and if it was all about who the better team was on paper then they wouldn't play games. He further went on to explain that teams that take other teams lightly often get beat because they fall into a confidence trap and don't prepare well and when game day comes they are surprised when the lesser team comes out with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove. Davis will be a very good and well coached team. They will make it close early. Our talent differential and depth should allow us to stretch a lead late in the game. But make no mistake, Davis is a good team and will fight for a win against their big brother from Berkeley.
Great as always, Chris.
When is your football primer book coming out? Or interactive website?
Love your analyses.
Very thorough breakdown, thanks.

As an Aggie myself (c/o 89) all I can say is Go Bears!!!!
"Auburn has a golden eagle" = War Eagle.
An extra mascot with an interesting history.

Enjoyed this.
Had elements of a Jackie Mason slide show routine.
Great article Chris! “Wide reciever”? Savage. Love Cori the tee retriever- wish they brought him on the road.
