Sacramento State should’ve built their brand new 30,000 seat stadium first, just like ODU, Liberty & JMU. It’s hard to negotiate when your football stadium includes a track and 20,000 bleacher seats.

I object to that, BF. Not so much the stadium size but the bogus idea that track is a detractor. The football stadium SHOULD have a track. But it should also have 30K+ seats....

The point is Sacramento State hasn’t built that stadium yet. It seems like CSUS saw an opportunity, and did everything they had to do, on paper, to get approved for their FBS transition. I think CSUS could’ve attracted an FBS Conference Invite easier if they had built their promised stadium first before they began officially negotiating Invites. That could be the very reason CSUS is having this issue.

I think you’re the first person I’ve ever seen defend a football stadium having a track

It's largely because I've done both, and I feel that the sports benefit each other.

That I would agree with, BF. I don't want the Hornets to move up, anyway, but move up or not, a new stadium minus the erector set bleachers and portable heads IS required....

All right

Why is the Sac St state transfer quarterback at Delaware state?

What happened?

I haven't heard anything about that (other than that it happened). However, it wouldn't surprise me if the name recognition of DeSean Jackson had something to do with it.

That said, per the roster, he's officially a grad student. Many players take off for greener pastures associated with their planned master's degree. Unlike that idiot with U$C a few years back who took that extra year to take dance classes with his chick....

Do you bring binoculars to a football game with a track around the stadium because you‘re sitting so far away?

Had to deal with that at JMU on both sides until the rebuild in 2010-2011. At least the season ticket side was moved much closer to the field.

The best FCS stadiums for fan viewing (Wa Griz, UD before their rebuild at least), etc, were those without tracks.

It’s definitely DeSean Jackson

A few years ago Del State was trying to recruit on Facebook … the bottom of the barrel type players is what they were getting for years and years
