I was wearing a we are Aztecs shirts and cheering unironically on their behalf last night at Qualcomm stadium.
I was particularly charmed by no. 35. Can’t remember his name but his stats are 5’10 165lbs. He was defense, covering some much larger Oregon state brute.
He was really going all out. An inspiration to skinny old men like myself everywhere.
I miss how cheap tickets are to Aztec football. I live in Seattle now and it costs $100 just to get upper deck nosebleed seats at UW Husky games! Although Pac 12 football is a lot more exciting and and it feels so much more like a college football atmosphere with a sold out on gorgeous on campus football stadium vs. 3/4’s empty ancient Qualcomm.
Aztec basketball is the REAL DEAL though. Aztec hoop home games are THE BEST entertainment period in all of SD County HANDS DOWN (and that includes Charger games). If you haven’t made a Aztec hoops game you must. Viejas arena has that real raucous on campus college atmosphere. Aztec football just can’t seem to get over the hump of mediocrity the way Aztec hoops has.
