SDSU is still obviously in need of offensive tackles in this class and they are still looking around for some that fit the profile.

Ladji Bagayoko, a Canadian transfer who attends Bishop Alemany, is officially visiting Hawaii after Thanksgiving and will likely visit SDSU soon after in December. Here's a story on him from back during the summer.

The other ideal targets I believe are:

-Redlands OL Alfred Edwards, who was offered by SDSU in the summer but committed to Nevada this season. He attended the New Hampshire home opener and I wouldn't be surprised if SDSU remains in the picture moving forward.

-One of the new names that has been thrown around is a local prospect by the name of James Lee. He attends Rancho Bernardo but won't play against Helix this week due to an injury. He's also currently committed to Harvard. Check out his senior film: Login to view embedded media

I followed my own advice of 24 hour cooling period after SDSU's loss yesterday before posting. I'm heart broken at losing prospects of Cotton Bowl and do not want another Poinsettia Bowl trip. Meanwhile for larger perspective here is a long list of BOWL INELIGIBLE TEAMS:

* UCLA is 4-7 with one game left at Cal
* Cal is 4-7 with.......see above
* Arizona 2-9 with one game left vs ASU
* Oregon (4-7) and Oregon St (3-8) play each other is season's last game
* Notre Dame (4-7), one game left vs USC
* Virginia, Duke, Michigan State, Purdue, Illinois, Boston College, Tex Tech, UCON, Cincinnati

When you consider the financial backing and established football success, etc...................goes to show that consistently winning is extremely difficult. As I said in another thread, traditions and winning reputation take time. Hate games on Sat after Thanksgiving but even after loss yesterday, if we get 35K at the Q Saturday............I'll see it as a sign of progress and growth of a support base, critical to long term growth of the program. Wasn't that long ago that I sat in my seats for a Sat day game after Thanksgiving vs AFA (?) and there were about 8K in the stands.

Win or loose, GO AZTECS!!

Hawaiian DE Andrew Aleki told me his official visit schedule: San diego State on Dec 9-11, Washington St on Jan 13-15, and San Jose on Jan 27-29.

(Btw Meza, thank you for calling me back when I called you the other week)

Now a San Diego Charger. Should be able to contribute right away in a season that's pretty much over for the bolts. The Chargers are now relegated to their usual role of spoiler where they find solace in making others share in their perennial misery.

Malik Pope and Max Hoetzel will play. Cal looks to be at full strength too.

Rashaad Penny took back the kickoff but Josh Allen showed what he can do and we've barely got going in the first quarter.

7-3 Aztecs.

Notebook coming after dinner, but here's a nugget for now:

If not I move to Canada and start rooting for the BC Lions
Wyoming's Not my Champion

Are we gonna be full strength? Big game for us

Rocky Long said that they are still suspended and "there will be a final decision on them in the next two or three weeks."

Keep an eye on these games this week for teams SDSU could leapfrog with a win:

* "Washington State" on the road at #10 Colorado, up next Washington -- likely go 0-2
* "Florida" could go down on the road at LSU as well
* #13 Oklahoma State is a road under dog to TCU and they have OU next week. Guessing they go 0-2. TCU is figuring things out and OU is just flat out better
* Auburn with three losses has Alabama A&M this week but plays 'Bama next week
* Florida State with three losses has weak Syracuse this week but Florida next week

Win the next two weeks and SDSU could be back in the AP #18 range going into MWC Championship game vs an even higher ranked Boise State.

Anyone know if this Cal game on Monday in Sacramento is on TV? Can't find it in my DirecTV menu?

If Boise and Wyoming tie with one loss, then who goes to championship game?

It's on ESPN 2 now.

I'm assuming everyone is expecting the Aztecs to get their asses handed to them. There seems to be no enthusiasm for this team which is a shame. I think they have the tools to be an excellent team once healthy.

We aren't there yet. But Boise moved ahead of WMU.

On Marcus Stamps, more senior bowl invites and Long's thoughts on the title game host scenarios:

https://sandiegostate.rivals.com/news/stamps-suffers-another-setback

Valetine Izundu isn't warming up with the team.

Opened as a 7 point favorite and bounced to 10.5 and has settled at 10 points.

I'd lay the points. Aztecs feast on poor defensive teams against the run.

Looks like Jalen McDaniels will indeed redshirt. He's not warming up with the team and is dressed in the typical redshirt attire (polo) that Devin Watson is also wearing.

He won't win but still an honor!
