I don’t know what the contract is but the rumors were that the Sparks were willing to pay to to $2 million per year.

Not big enough. Do we really want:
– Army or Tulane
– Miami or SMU
– BYU or CU
– Oregon
– Jacksonville State
– ND?
– Miami (OH)
– Boise St
– Washington St?
– Texas
– Marshall
and 1 at-large (maybe two if PAC-2 doesn’t count) from above + Ohio St., Penn St., Indiana, UGA, Bama, Tenn, Ole Miss, TAMU

That’s why 1 from the G5 is likely enough. Rare…[Read more]

Exactly what Miami said.

Going to coach in the pros, gets a hefty raise, no longer has to recruit/deal with NIL, and gets to go home to California. A no-brainer for the coach.

The new coach, Gavin Peterson, has been an assistant at the University for all of Roberts’ time here and he has been the Associate Head Coach for five (going on six…[Read more]

I would say the committee sees the Big 12 and ACC as MWC/AAC +1 loss. In other words, an 12-1 or 11-2 champ in Big 12 and ACC is equivalent to a 13-0 or 12-1 MWC/AAC champ. The loss for MWC/AAC has to be to someone good, while there is a little more forgiveness for Big12/ACC. Look at Miami or SMU – it’s clear whoever wins the champ will be either…[Read more]

Bowl games (non playoff) are now trash. A quarter (at least) of most teams are in the portal, declare for the draft, or opt out. I just told someone it’s stupid to bet on bowl games at all because you don’t know who will actually be playing.

It was nice to have the 8-1 bowl record under Whit or whatever it was, but that was the old regime of…[Read more]

If so, what is the ‘walk into the sunset’ year next year? 8-5 with a bowl win? CCG? Until his contract is up, what’s not for him to say, “ooh, we were really close and we have a couple more pieces to …”?

Calhoun had the ball in his hands in that last 2 minutes of the y game and probably would have had it. And won the game. Ugh

I think every team should study how they are doing it at Pitt. You get possibilities (maybe some baseline assurance) but not paid until the end of the season. At least that’s how I understand it. Keeps you hungry. Not totally incentive based, but does ensure those that should contribute, contribute and surprises get a piece as well.

who knows. For me, it’s hard to distinguish between valuation and what they might actually be getting

officially, we are on qb2 and qb5 left.

I am hopeful because of our D. But Shadeur escapes the pocket on basically every play (he didn’t play last year – Hunter still had >100 yds receiving). Agree that our hope is for TOs.

Last year, Bottari was 6/10 for 61 yds. Glover had 107 rushing (gone), Vaki 68 (gone), Jackson 68 (gone), Money 18 (out). If Wilson is out (injury? mono?), the…[Read more]

holy crap, we can’t have, get, keep any qb healthy. So crazy, all you can do is cry. Hopefully he didn’t get mono from a cougar (and I’m not talking about the parochial school).

I’ve learned that the answer to any question posed in a headline is usually: No.

I think it was Saban that was saying it is really hard to find OL now. With so many skill position camps, players are getting trained on that, so you have to recruit someone by their frame (and for him, they had to play basketball) and then you had to get them in, put 40-50 pounds on them and see how they handle it. So it was a little bit of a…[Read more]

Explains why all the sudden Rose’s good runs disappeared and he didn’t even try. Those were eating up some significant yards.

I think KU has a shot. One hard part is they are in Provo. But Jalon Daniels (dual threat QB) and Devin Neal (RB) are healthy and tore up Iowa St. At 3-6, they are hungry to win their last 3 (@ BYU, v CU, @ Baylor).

@ ASU ain’t easy either. They will have something to prove and their coach has them in a good place. They are still in the running…[Read more]

If Shadeur is still there that deep. Most have him going as the top QB, then Ward. I know they’ve talked about pulling an Eli/Elway and saying he won’t play for certain teams (If I were them, JETS, Panthers, Bears are all qb killers). But he will not get to the Cowboys (probably in 5-10 range).

Deion said something similar – ‘at CU, they don’t need to be friends. What is chemistry? Everyone does their job and is held accountable.’ I think ‘chemistry’ can help – we saw improvement just seeing Rising back on the field after Brewer got pulled and the team just played harder for him.

Just to clarify, what is ‘that group’, ‘bad group that does bad things’?
– Mormons
– Believers of the religion
– BYU fans which mostly profess to be one of the above (‘byu fan base’ mentioned in Kellso post)
