First and foremost, here's to a good game between our teams with no injuries.....I hope my Falcons show up and give you a good game (to the surprise of many). In the past, some here have been kind enough to let me know of options to watch your local broadcast of the game. If it's possible (I know it's on your local TV...the only game not on theMtn/VS/CBS-C) to get it via something like Justin TV or another outlet I would appreciate the note. Pls pm me here or on the AF forum at forums.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=238&f=1550Thanks and congrats on the season so far, way to represent the MWC both in football and the great season you are off to in BBall! I'll have some news links for y'all later in the week! GO FALCONS |

Just come back to AztecMesa on the day and time of the game. There's always other people who are also interested in watching the game on-line as well. Somebody will have a thread asking the same thing. If there is an internet feed available, somebody will have a link posted.

Not originally scheduled to be on TV, Channel 4 is picking up the broadcast. Hope someone can step in. (and hope my secret source will provide me with a copy later ...)

What the? "ITC Pilot"? Is this a new DOD steriod?
No. Oh.
I get it.
Oh great. Kids on Aztectalk...again.
Okay. I'll play..ha-chat.
"The It-C bit-C spider went up the water spout. And down came the Ayr fart who couldn't fly a plane. And along came an Aztec who burnt his plastic medal. So, the IT-C bit-C spider went down the toilet drain."
There.
Was I on key?

Sleepy (close on the name)....Thudgate will be alive and well with cold beer, brats, brisket, full bar as always....along with the 'infamous' shot'o' Jerimiah Weed. Appreciate all the comments above on the broadcast. Understand the 'sensitivity' if some one does get it on the 'net'. Thanks for the note. Here's some thoughts I posted on the game and the link for associated stats and matchup (scroll down after the initial SDSU and Wyo stats to get direct matchup with AF and SDSU forums.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=238&f=1550&t=7060664First Look AF vs #6 SDSU and Wyoming -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AF first look at SDSU SDSU on Wednesday . Air Force comes off an unsatisfying loss to UNLV to go on the road to #6 SDSU then home to face Wyoming . SDSU leads the MWC with a 19-0 (4-0) record and Wyoming is at the opposite end of the standings at 8-10 (1-3). Air Force after their loss is now 10-6 (1-2 in the MWC). SDSU is playing for real. All the comments I made earlier in the summer have come to fruition (see my preview I wrote back in June at: (Go to First Look) . SDSU brings back all starters plus all other players except one from last years NCAA team and also gets a transfer and player(s) back in full health who battled injuries last year. SDSU has played very well as their records shows and have wins over Gonzaga and Cal as part of their 19 wins. Some question the overall toughness of their schedule to date but it stands up with the best of them. One RPI site has them #2 in the country....SDSU comes in ranked 16th by kenpom with the #27 strongest schedule. As with every year, SDSU plays a big 5 on the floor at all times, to include 3 Sr's. The term most often to describe them is 'long and athletic'. Kwai Leonard 6'7'/205 F (last years Fr of the year) and Billy White 6'8'/225# F pace this team. In their game vs NM, DJ Gay lead the team with 30pts (6'2'/170#). Their bigs include Shelton 6'7'/245# and Carwell 6'9'/300#...and he's not a 'round' 300#'. They are shooting 50% FG, 36% 3pt and 68% FT's. They play an uptempo offense trying to run the ball and will play aggressive half court pressing defense. Some full court may be seen but not traditionally versus our Falcons. In their last game vs NM at the PIT, NM’s Coach Alford made the observation postgame: Coach Steve Alford, who lost only his fourth league home game with the Lobos, said it was "pick your poison" in whether to stop San Diego State's potent inside game or check the Aztecs on the perimeter. The plan was to play tough inside defense, and Gay and Tapley stepped up. Again, while the Aztec are an average shooting team from the arc, they pick the time to get hot outside when needed and did in their last game going 13-25 52% 3pt shooting and DJ Gay an unconscious 7-11 (note: for the season he is a 40% 3pt shooter….WAY above his average. In this matchup AF will have multiple decisions. Inside or outside. With most game as I have seen this season, AF will begin with guarding the interior/lane and tell the Aztecs to win it by making it from the outside. If they begin to hit then I expect to see shifts from our normal defense to 'change it up'. We have actually been ‘very’ successful in defending the lane. To date, and I hate to write this down (as I type here), AF has done better on the inside game but teams that have won have done it with above average shooting from the three. AF needs to control TO’s against SD aggressive defense. On offense, they must run the offense (and I would not be surprised to see mostly zone by SD, forcing us to make it from the outside) inside out aggressively even with the overly-athletic SD team. In the past we have had little to no inside game vs SD due to their ability to recover if/when beaten. I believe we ‘are’ faster and more athletic this year to help that area….but we must also be able to hit the three to open the lane, especially vs SD. |

ltc, when you said "I would not be surprised to see mostly zone from SDSU and force AF to hit from outside," I have to stop you there. SDSU plays strictly a man-to-man defense. I can't remember the last time we played a zone other than experimenting with it in exhibition.

You may be right....but in your blowout of AF last year at @ SDSU they played a bit of zone as I remembered and we couldn't hit a building from outside the arc going 4-18. |

Welcome back, flyboy... I missed Thudgate last time I was out there due to having to escort some "seasoned" Grads to their seats. Their walking range was limited at best and VMG was horrendous! Geez, what is it with old pilots that they can barely walk?!? Is it all of the roof-stomping that you guys do at Edwards or what?? (My guess is it's somehow related to all of the barstools you fall off...)
I think most of us respect AF enough to know that this is a dangerous game - especially with the Zoobs next on the schedule. Regardless of record, AF's style can cause fits - and the Falcons seem to be improved over last year.
Here's looking forward to a good matchup with no injuries. I'd advise you pick up some tickets now for the Aztecs visit to Clune Arena - as much fun as these guys are to watch on TV, they're something else in person.

Thanks elbee (and sleepy)....Thudgate will be there and ready to 'rock 'n roll' when the Aztecs come into Falcon stadium next fall and you are welcome to stop by as always.
I have my season tickets at Clune and...just as important....my flying schedule just changed and I 'might' sneak out to SD late tonight. My Dad is already going (77yr old AF Falcon fanatic) and might have a second ticket. I'lll know SOON.
Again....looking forward to a great game and hope my Falcons show up and make you work!
GO FALCONS
