Re: SDSU - 20 Missing Players in Conf Championship?

As an Aztec fan, I don't think COVID made a difference. I think that even if the Aztecs had been COVID-free and actually playing at home in San Diego instead of 2 hours up the road, the Aggies would have pasted them just the same. There isn't a doubt in my mind the better team that day came away wit...

Re: San Diego Union-Tribune Preview

ESPN's Brock Huard talks the match-up. “Utah State is brining that different style. They are going to want to be basketball on grass. And I will say this though; They throw bombs. Their quarterback is kind of a stocky, listed at 6’1”, 230 and he looks stockier than that. … This guy, I don’t know if ...
