2008 National Champ

but, but, but.,, the fact that players hadn’t announced yet was proof that the staff and the season weren’t problems

2023: 45.5 yards per punt (tied #21)
2024: 44.7 (tied #35)

of all the dark spots for the last 2 seasons, Bouwmeester wasn’t one of them. If the only acceptable punters are Ray Guy winners, be prepared for a lot of disappointment.

There’s plenty of room for optimism and the farther we get from game 12 of the 2024 season, the more optimistic this place will get. By next August you’ll be begging for little ole Eeyore to get the red kool-aid out of your sippy cup 🙂 I kid

Right now, the rhetoric is worse than normal for this time of year. It’s only been a week since the…[Read more]

You have to recruit out of the portal also

Surely you aren’t suggesting that the 5 minutes between officially entering the portal and committing to their new school is not enough time for kids to field recruiting calls and figure out their next destination?

Ala-damn-bama

I’m neither glass half empty or full. I just want to know why you gave me such a big glass if you weren’t going to fill the damn thing up in the first place

Jokes that are true are the best kind

800k from 1.2 to 2.0 seems like a pretty good raise to me. It’s always about the money. More money for his assistant coaches, more money for him, not working for a different boss than hired him thus greater job security so he has a better chance at earning that extra money. Easier access to west coast recruits so he can keep earning that extra…[Read more]

he wouldn’t lose 2020 as that was a free year for everyone

Mom! Charlie said asses

Yeah, I remember when Mike Hampton said he took the highest offer to pitch in Colorado because of the great school system.

Did they have to widen the door so that he could enter the portal?

Same as Bluto Blutarsky’s GPA.

Feels like a bit of a grey area so I agree both are at fault. Player has to actually join the team before the collective will put ink on paper so the onus is already on the player. If the collective changes its mind the player has to have some recourse.

Rashada was able to go from Florida to ASU when the Florida collective didn’t make its first…[Read more]

That would be disappointing if that inside intel was ever accurate. A 3 year old throwing darts at a list of available portal players would be more reliable at this point.

Yep. Tough to get back to the top of the Big 12 when you’ve never been there

We’ll never know how good Huntley could have been for Utah and how quickly since all 3 of his seasons as a starter were derailed to some extent by injury

Fifita then Dampier at QB but both if possible. Nate at slot only no matter who they bring in or keep at QB.

Fifita looked really good in 2023 against everyone he played. And since Arizona got the worst of the Saban retiring coaching carousel, I’d be willing to look past his 2024 numbers and see what he can do. Even with his 2024, Fifita has a better resume than Huard, Wilson or Rose and I would take him over Dampier. The question will be how many…[Read more]
