I’m going to be a broken record on this…but why do we not deserve this credit?

We won the PAC-12 two of the last three years. We’ve been in the title game the last four full seasons before this one.

We had half our team injured. And we still had 8 wins. And beat USC. And took UW to the wire. We only lost to UW, Oregon, USC, Oregon State and…[Read more]

We are back to MWC days…well not that bad, but pretty close.

FOX will pick up some games. ESPN will pick up others. ESPN+ will have the rest. Hopefully they don’t not televise the shitty games, like when we play FCS teams.

We SHOULD be able to get all games on tv, but that’s not a lock anymore. The good news is, we should be a top team in…[Read more]

Honestly…Yassmin is irrelevant. He never really did anything for us. We have Kuithe and King and Suguturaga coming back. Also on the roster we have Bentley, a 90 rated TE from Snow College. An .87 rated TE who redshirted last year. The guy from UCLA.

I’m not too worried about TE. We have talent, we have bodies. We will be just fine there.

Man, our safety and CB room is getting a lot better.

CB: Snowden, Calhoun (a .90 freshman from Michigan), Johnson (.89 transfer from GT), and Vaughn who had flashes of greatness last year.

S: Gilman (transfer from Stanford), Hall (who looked really good in the bowl game), Ritchie (who the coaches love).

We are adding 7 CB/S freshmen as well.…[Read more]

If I was a transfer QB, I’d wait until after spring ball if I had any options. Wait until there is an injury and see if there is a better fit than what they have right now.

For sure. With Rising, Covey had 50+ catches a year. Vele had 50+ catches. Kincaid had 70.

Matthews was set to be the #1 receiver in our offense with Rising, on a team that should win the Big 12 and go to the playoffs. And instead he leaves that for Cal?

I dunno man. I dunno.

With how much Whitt loves Barnes, he has a better shot at Rising getting hurt and starting at Utah than USU.

Can’t someone who is a student look him up and see if he is still in the directory?

I agree. We won 8 games with no QB, RB, and down two TE’s.

Our offense will be better. A lot better. Cam put up 38 points per game in the P12. The Big 12 is a lot easier.

And like you said, our schedule is WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY easier. WAY. Easier.

We should win 10+ next year and we should look good doing it.

Look at our five hardest games in…[Read more]

Sure. Vaki was an absolute beast for two games for us. Versus Cal he ran for 158 yards.

The next week we played USC. He ran 9 times for 68 yards and had 5 catches for 149 yards. Two amazing games.

But he got figured out. After that:

5 carries for 11 yards vs Oregon.
No touches vs ASU.
1 carry for -1 vs UW.
4 carries for 10 yards vs…[Read more]

Yeah, people are buying into the BYU pushed narrative that the sky is falling in SLC. It’s not. Let’s compare positions:

QB: Better in 2024. Rising/Rose/Wilson vs Barnes and Johnson. Way better in 2024.
RB: Wash. Maybe better. Jackson was hurt most of the year. Bernard was hurt. Curry was hurt. We will be better in 2024 just due to the fact that…[Read more]

Let’s take a step back and review our players we are losing:

Miles Battle: Solid CB. He is replaceable. He wasn’t bad, wasn’t great.
Bills: Multi-year starter. Will be tough to replace.
Vaki: He and Jackson are so overrated…now hear me out. Not overrated as in bad. They were great. But overrated in that it will be easy to replace their…[Read more]

Wilner’s prediction is more spot on. We should be a top 10, borderline top 5 team going into next season.

Hell yeah they are.

So many people saying how smart he is even though he sure as shit couldn’t diagnose a defense presnap or move off his first read…

I know QB room has been the hot topic all year long, but we have about as good a QB room as anyone right now.

Rising, a guy who won two P12 titles. Rose, a backup with time in the system. Wilson, the young guy out of high school looking to take the world on fire.

Not a lot of schools with that type of talent in their QB room.

I think a lot of what people are forgetting when doom and glooming…the Big 12 ain’t the PAC-10. There is no USC, Oregon, UW, etc.

There is no team heads and shoulders better than us. Yeah, we can lose. But we can also win every game. Who is the best team in the Big 12? Us? Arizona? Then there is a gap down to the next level.

I love you man, but after the games this weekend. After seeing Oklahoma, Ohio St, FSU, Oregon State, etc lose much like we did with their backups…

Your take is about the dumbest fucking shit I’ve read today.

And I’m an eagles fan who just got stomped by Arizona. I’ve read some dumb shit today.

There is such an easy way to fix this:

Negotiate with the players. Unionize them, set a salary cap, set minimum/maximum salaries, and do this right. College football is nothing more than admins and coaches trying to suck every last penny out of the athletes before it falls apart. Capitalism, yay!

Oregon State got their asses kicked as well with a third string QB.

What Ludwig did with the QB talent he had was remarkable.
