I'll be at the San Diego game so I am really hoping they don't have a travesty like that!
Hoping we can get at least one "W" on this West Coast run.

I specifically reached out to a couple people at the Foundation in Athletic Development about an NIL collective over 6 months ago and was told there are other priorities. I can certainly understand and appreciate that, but we need the foundation's help with email lists, donors, etc. If we do not get serious about an NIL collective, we are going to be left in the dust. I get it...Howling Pack donations, scholarship donations, etc. may very well suffer because of this, but we need to get the ball rolling. I was told that if we want a young lady from Wagner to come and play ball for us, it would take $15-$20k/year to help close the deal. It sucks that is where we are at with college athletics, but it is what it is.

Turnovers have been a consistent problem all season so far. Tori is a heck of a player, but she also very prone to turning the ball over.

In my humble opinion, the decision to bring Bob back for another season didn't help with renewals.

I want to deride our athletic department for allowing blue in the suites. What a joke. I mean, blue in a suite is fine, as long as they aren’t a raging douche. That’s embarrassing for the owner of the suite. Not a good look. Rein that stuff in. There will be a lot of reigning. Some of us have family members that were dropped on their head and are State grads. Unfortunately, you can pick friends but not family.

35 seniors to our 5 or 6? Do the count on the program. I was curious and had 32 for SDSU and 6 for USD. Regardless, a lot of experience and games for the State squad. Wash this s##t sandwich taste out of our mouth and get ready for next week.

I want to compliment our men for not engaging with the big D in the 50 yd line suite. The Big D decided to thump his chest, point at his bunny shirt and talk smack to our players after the game. Our players gave him a stare and kept their mouth shut, the true definition of class. When you lose, say little...when you win, say nothing.

Jacks are good, no doubt about it, but they're also fortunate to have so many players utilizing their extra covid season. I counted 30+ seniors on their roster, many/most of whom play major snaps, while USD only has 6 seniors listed. What that portends for the future I have no idea. Reminds me of our women's hoops team a few years back when we had the "big 3" all opt in for their extra season and rode that to the Sweet 16. This covid extras has to be running out one of these years I would think. I'm too lazy to do that math. 35 seniors to our 5 or 6?

Announcers were very complimentary of Harden and the Tigers coaching staff respected his talent. Very few balls thrown his way

Take the $650k and learn from the mistakes. OL is going to be an issue all season, in my opinion.

My speculation since that end of season press conference has been that Herbster knew he wasn't sticking around and didn't want to go through a coaching search again (also why our two basketball hires were former assistants that didn't require a search). I've heard in the past that USD has had presidents who didn't care much for athletics before Abbott realized we had to go D1. It would be very unfortunate if our next AD doesn't have the necessary support. All the rumblings I've heard suggest that Gestring is pulling all the levers behind the scenes when it comes to the athletic department and specifically who is hired there. That would be enough of a reason for me to leave if I was Herbster. I have heard the same thing. She needs to realize she does not know athletics and trust those that do know athletics to run the department.

Did they ever announce the contract extension for Bob? I'm not trying to stir the pot or comment on his coaching ability just wondering what his contract status is. Incredibly curious about this question in light of Herbster's departure. Might be part of the reason for the departure...
