Not sure what the game vs Cal Poly can show to the upside. If we win we will have beaten a not even top FCS team. If we lose then we would have been upset by a not even top FCS team. Seems like only much chance to show on the extreme downside.

I ran track in high school, and one day our coach took all the sprinters out to Pajaro Dunes to run up and down the sand dunes. There were two points, one major and one minor. The major point is that it is a great workout for your legs. The minor point was that it gave us a chance to feel what it was like to run like a world class sprinter...downhill. Speed and stride length were the same, thanks to gravity.

That's all the Cal Poly game is. A different kind of a workout, and a chance to feel like Alabama for a day.

Very cool recollection.
Hope your prediction of our guys looking like Alabama for a day holds true.
