Howdy Y'all!

With the Bobcats finally playing on the West Coast, I am making the pilgrimage from San Jose down the coast to see our boys play.

Who all's coming? Is there a Bobcat Bash or anything the night before?

I've heard that SDSU's stadium is notoriously badly-built in terms of shade coverage, so heat protection, sunscreen, and wide brim hats are going to be the pro tips on the day. Hope to see a lot of y'all out!

I was planning on going, but unfortunately my wife planned our family vacation with our kids and grandkids on the opposite coast -- in Delaware -- shortly before game day, and this makes logistics very difficult. [For bobcatsquared and SBH's eyes only: This means my first cousins in San Diego will miss the joy of seeing me, but my first cousin who owns the beach house in Bethany Beach, DE, will be a little richer, though he gave us a very nice "relative" discount rate, about half the going rate.]

Does the beach house come with a complimentary shuttle service?

Can't you follow directions?  I explicitly said that only SBH & bobcatsquare were to read that note. winkcoolcheekyblush

Sort of like you following the title of the post. It asked who was going, not who was not going.

I had said on this forum previously that I was planning to go, so I thought it common courtesy to correct that erroneous statement. Furthermore, if I hadn’t you know that certain parties would have reminded me and called me a prevaricator. You know the one who keeps a database of every utterance I make here.

You sure get triggered easily for being such a staunch republican.

Is this away game the farthest a Bobcat team has travelled?

10 day weather forecast for San Diego is looking pretty good right now. Predicted High is 75°F with it sunny with almost no chance of rain.

Did we get a home-and-home with this? Or was it their last ditch effort to round out the schedule?

We're getting paid. New Mexico State is paying the Aztecs $1.5M for backing out of a game. SDSU is flipping (some? all?) that money over to us.

Our AD is friends with SDSU AD. They came to us and made an offer we could not refuse. Julie C. deserves credit.
