What a joke. I’m glad that we’re playing 12 games, one which is against an FBS team (Utah), and the other is against an FCS playoff contender (SFA), but USD & W. Oregon?! We just played them last year!
If we were playing only one of those two, I would be okay, but the fact that we’re playing both AND the USD game is on the road in unacceptable! The football program has been in decline for a long time, and has shown no signs of improving. I see no ambition from the Athletic Department.

Evan please have faith & confidence in your alma mater Cal Poly courtesy of Montana State Fan.

If you were paying attention to this program for the last decade then you would feel the same way. Last year, we were only one of two Big Sky programs to not play 12 games (FCS schools can play 12 games in years when there are 13 weeks). The other was Portland State, who is a poverty program.
Eight straight losing seasons, and we’re having a hard time with non-scholarship USD. Whatever star players we have transfer out. I’m not sure that any potential head coach even wants to come here, Beau Baldwin left after two 2-win seasons to be the ASU OC, and now we’re stuck with old man Paul Wulff. I hope I’m not correct, but I predict that by the 2030s Cal Poly either will have dropped football, or will be playing in the PFL.
