Excuse me, 157 players on the roster with 1,582 undergraduates?!?

Imagine if we had 3,000 on ours! Or maybe just the entire CS61a class.

Hard to argue they’re not a football school.

i *think* it includes practice squad players as there are many without numbers, but my rough count last night arrived at that many players on this website https://wagnerathletics.com/sports/football/roster

I live about 150 miles from Wagner College and I, too, learned about its existence when Cal put their schedule out. I don't recall ever meeting a Wagner Seahawk, which I just learned is their mascot.

We should honor the match-up but this game will be 180 degrees from the UCLA game. I was offered four complimentary tickets as a Season Ticket Holder.

Yup, me too. I guess maybe they want us to invite some friends and family.

That's the Power of Unit!

Cheerful, playful, yes. Interesting, absorbing, clever? Not so much.

I suggest approaching situations like this with a “know thy enemy” approach and do a Q&A about the school with a member of the student council or some such. It would be interesting to know some relevant facts and insider tips about the school in a respectful way. After all, they’re traveling a long way to play the University of California. Let others throw stones or mock the imbalance. We should honor the matchup.
