One of the weirdest, ugliest games I've ever seen, but the Aztecs made it out alive.

For those that didn't watch, the game started with about 30,000 people in the stands. Then came the monsoon rain. That was followed by a 90 minute lightning delay midway through the 2nd.

By the end of the delay, there was MAYBE 500 people left. Even the cadets went home lol.

Big win against a tough team on the road, and still undefeated. Let's pack "The S" next week!

Strange. Wasn't it last week that the power went out at our stadium for like 20 minutes? It's almost like someone is putting obstacles in their way but they keep on barrelling through. Maybe Mr Wednesday isn't an Aztecs fan. (Let's see if anyone gets that reference)

Just finished that book.

I read it before watching the show. The first season gets us about ⅓rd through it. Laura and Wednesday are definitely not what I pictured from the book. Shadow is pretty much spot on. I hope Gaiman writes that sequel.

Wow. Had no idea it was a TV show. Will check it out.

Edit - of course Ian McShane is Wednesday. That's perfect casting.

Hope San Diegans turn out to support our team this Saturday. This is a special team with a Heisman Trophy candidate RB. #Win22

Yeah a great start to possibly a great year but unfortunately Penny is beyond a long shot for Heisman since he's not in a power 5 conference

Pumphrey was juuuust outside of an invite to the ceremony in NYC last year. Only a couple of guys stand out right now, if Penny can run through the MWC, he deserves to be a finalist.

How many get an invite?

Usually 3-5. Penny is currently #3 on some national boards.

He's already in the conversation

The Aztecs' Pac 12 wins are looking even better now.

ASU beat #24 Oregon 37-35 tonight.

Stanford emasculated UCLA 58-34

Even if he doesn't win, just getting invited to New York will be great for San Diego.

I like SDSU's #onecityoneteam tagline. San Diego really needs to rally behind this team now more than ever.

Do they outdraw the Chargers?

It's early in the season for both teams, but so far the Aztecs' average attendance is nearly double the Chargers.

If you subtract the visiting fans that took over the StubHub stadium last week, some of the top Southern California High School teams outdrew Spanus' failed experiment.

Tomorrow will be even worse since the Chiefs - a division rival - are coming to their stadium. Instead of having similar colors to the Chargers (Dolphins) they wear red and will really stand out.

Expect many more embarrassing articles for Spanos in the national media.

What are the difference in ticket prices? Genuinely curious as I've been to maybe one Charger game in my entire life.

I was curious too so I just did a quick check on Sub Hub. For the upcoming game against NIU you can still get field level tickets close to mid field for $18. For the Chargers game against the chiefs today, the cheapest equivalent seats are about $138.

This is a pretty rough analysis, but as anyone knows it's much much cheaper to get SDSU tickets.

Sweet you found a way to bypass the UT's paywall.
