I know. I'm being a bit immature but every time I go to this website I have to see that reminder of him playing the Aztec fans just to shun them with his red and black tie on.

Rocky Long said LB Randy Ricks would have been cleared to practice last Friday so the belief is that he will be cleared to practice tomorrow and will play at UNLV should he remain healthy during practice this week.

FYI Randy Ricks isn't dressed for this one.

For some odd reason, Wyoming uploaded highlights of the SDSU game on Saturday - highlights of both teams.

The clips are from the broadcast and aren't field level clips so I figured I'd share it here.

Why aren't we giving Chapman more garbage minutes with the amount of blowouts we've had recently.

I mean I know it probably won't help much but have to think any game time is better than no time.

New Mexico versus Boise State
Boise is struggling against New Mexico. What happens if they lose?

70-66 with 2.30 to play

Just an FYI, Air Force is now receiving votes in the AP poll.

If they can upset Boise State in Boise and UNM in Albuquerque, there might be a chance they sneak into the CFP committee poll (long shot but possible) - which would make them title game host regardless of the four ranking systems composite. Just something to consider.

Great seeing the big smiles on Jeremy, "Z," Spencer and Nolan last night as they strolled around the perimeter of the "Q." These kids ooze excitement and Aztec commitment. Lets take down those Utes tomorrow and force our way into the top 25 early! Go Aztecs...

We've discussed FUCLA losing to Monmouth at home to open the season. Here are handful of other upsets to start the season:

# 17 Wisconsin lost at home to Western Illinois

Arizona State lost to Sacramento State at home

Georgia lost to Chatanooga at home

Virginia Tech lost to Alabama State at home

Georgetown lost to Radford at home

Lot of more examples out there where "name" or perennial basketball powers went down in upsets at home.

Puts SDSU's win over Illinois State (better team than likely all listed above) in better persepctive given the whistle happy refs and all of the new players.

Ruben,
What do you think are the chances of SDSU landing any of the following local recruits: Troy Cassidy (Carlsbad LB- Reminds me of the recent LB from Carlsbad named , i think, was Perez who went to Stanford ), Steffon McKnight (WR Mira Mesa- most likely a Pac 12 refcruit), and Dezmon Patmon (WR Patrick Henry- on PPR last week- didn't mention SDSU as a possible school he was looking at right now)?

QB Blake Decker was injured in the 2nd quarter on Saturday and didn't return. Wonder what his status will be next weekend. He's UNLV's only hope at upsetting SDSU in my opinion.

21-17 San Jose St. in the 3rd qtr. Nevada loses and we win tonight, we're in the championship game Dec. 5th!

On Rocky, injuries, Nico Siragusa and official visits remaining the same.

Since most of you are infinitely smarter than myself, I'd like to hear from each of you how SDSU gets to the next level. I'm looking for answers for both the basketball program and the football program.

I know money will be mentioned but I'm looking for specifics. Like how much money, for each program and how it would be used? Since money is the easy answer, I'm looking for clever idea's. Gorilla tactics that another university has used or possibly new things.

Not looking for let's replace Rocky comments. More constructive, like if he had 5 full-time recruiters able to scout the local high schools... this is just an example and not necessarily a true example.

Please don't shout down idea's that others post, looking for constructive, not abusive. Also looking to see what your level of interest is in becoming an active participant in the University's success. You may reply on here or email me at Jeffinsd@yahoo.com. I'd like to meet those that are currently participating in helping the University and those that would like to start.

I will buy you a beer or a soda if you're not a drinker or 21 yrs of age. Not sure that everyone can get to the Club level bar so maybe we could meet in another place at Qualcomm or Viejas on Friday or Saturday, I'm open to ideas.

Thanks,

Jeff

Q: What's 6'10" and can disappear?
A: Malik Pope.

Malik was pretty bad. He displayed all the things he does poorly, and very few of the things he does well. Offensively, I'm not sure he touched the ball inside the paint. Roamed the perimeter 3' beyond the arc and was a total non-factor. On defense, he was plain lazy. Coach was in his face a LOT, and he deserved it. In the second half, he was frustrated and started to over dribble when he touched the rock. Turnover. A pathetic start for a key to our season.

Winston didn't really hurt us, but he wasn't a big plus either. At least he was in there banging.

Trey Kell played tentatively, which happens when you get early fouls.

D'Erryl played well in the first half, but didn't see the floor in the second. That was a coaching mistake. When a kid performs, he needs to be rewarded. Just my opinion, but some of the second half minutes that went to Perez should have gone to D'Erryl. Yes, it would have been an unusual lineup, but Ben wasn't shooting the ball well and D'Erryl can get to the rim. There have been other SDSU players in the past whom the coaching staff just can't seem to see when it's time to substitute. It's unfair to the kid.

Skylar was a PRESENCE.

Horrific shooting beyond the arc. That will NOT be a theme this year, but it was last night.

Dakarai (a revelation on offense), Z (exuberant performance) and our freshman PG (player of the game) played VERY well. Coach left them on the floor because they earned the minutes.

Z is likely to be our leading rebounder. Super athletic, intuitive, and WANTS IT. He was significantly better than Malik last night. If Malik continues to mope and doesn't exert maximum effort, he not only won't be a first round pick, he won't start for SDSU, and he'll transfer.

If the refs continue to call the game they called last night: a. the games will be boring, b. home court advantages will shrink because less-involved crowds will not fuel runs, c. defenses won't be able to exert as much pressure and d. benches will need to be deeper because foul trouble will be more of a factor. The flow of the game was dramatically impacted. If the NCAA and the networks want more offense, calling 30% more fouls is not the way to do it.

About a month ago, you or someone here had mentioned a secret commit. Is that player still out there or has he already committed?

So it looks like Utah struggled at home against Southern Utah. Can't read too much into a first game but the telling stat is that their guards produced exactly 1 point. Their Forwards were spectacularly efficient offensively but it appears defense wasn't their strongsuit. Maybe they were looking ahead.

Utah will be a 1-2 point favorite.

Everyone is out here warming up.

Malik Pope does have his right knee supported with a small wrap though.

The game is listed to be on ESPN 3.

Does anyone know if this will be picked up on any of the ESPN College Extra basketball games to be televised tonight? if so what channel on Direct TV.

Has Smith recently send in a request to the NCAA for a sixth year?
