Wherever he goes, I wish him the best. If he has a chance to be a top pick, All-Pro out of Washington or Oregon, by all means go. Perhaps I don’t have confidence that our program is able to churn out top WRs. And we still have super talented dudes waiting in the wings like Enis.

Can’t stand PK anymore. I used to listen to them every single morning on the commute. Can’t do it anymore. I can’t stand anyone on 1280 and 700 is similar. I just do national podcasts or focused, team-based ones.

Mariner, Singleton, and Simpkins. I know Demari is still around but I always grouped those three together. There was a lot of potential there but unfortunately I felt they underperformed. I wouldn’t say a disappointment, but they could have been great with fewer dropped balls and more patience.

WR group is in a good place though. Covey, Dixon,…[Read more]

I’d return the NFL to San Diego first.

Then I’d probably rebuild RES and Huntsman Center. Pay for a new coach? I’d have to believe he’d stick around long enough to install a dominant culture and winning etc etc.

Honestly, if I’m Alex Smith and I’m recuperating from an alleged near-amputation of my leg due to the freaking bone sticking out of the skin, then I’m taking my guaranteed $71 million and retiring. No more having to put my health on the line for the money because it’s already there. Take a nice coaching job and enjoy life.

I know that’s not…[Read more]

Dreaming: Alex Smith. Who says no?
Realistic: Some FCS/high school/G5 nobody
Likely: Harding, I guess.

Good finish. We’ll be unranked again next August.

It feels like we’re set up for a really good run next year. BYU early, the Washington schools are both losing major pieces like Gaskins, Minshew, and Browning (yes). Colorado and USC will be going through staff changes. UCLA will be better. Oregon State and Cal (nothing to sneeze at, but better than Stanford/Oregon). The Arizona schools… Tate…[Read more]

I’d rank Alabama/Georgia much lower, but what do I know? That game means nothing. Alabama is in either way. The committee made sure of that by pushing Georgia so high. Georgia beating out Ohio State and Oklahoma conference champs? That’s what I’m here for. I want the largest number of conferences left out to encourage playoff expansion and auto bids.

I went to the Stanford game earlier in the season and went to the 49ers-Cardinals game the next day. I parked at a Target about a mile away. If you’re not adverse to a little walking, it was actually pretty nice. There’s a Five Guys right there as well if you need a pre-game meal.

Taysom was a thorn for a while and I think Zack might be as well. I’ve seen some randoms on Twitter hoping he transfers up here, but there’s no way TDS lets him go and he’s a guaranteed starter for the next 3 years against some good teams.

I think TDS blew their energy in the first half. Then they played not to lose. What this rivalry has taught…[Read more]

Nacua seemed to limp heavily on and off throughout the night.

I was. Until I realized we’re celebrating the PAC-12 South title tonight. Who knows how often these will come around, so I’m there. Plus, I love this group of Seniors. I may not make it through the whole game, but I’ll be there.

Same. I just can’t be mad at the guy. I’ve accepted that he’s an offensive genius and just have this respect for him that isn’t matched by many other opposing coaches.

2009-2011: Floating after high school
2011-2016: Active Duty service with the Navy
2017-present: Full-time undergrad at the U.

Got married. Had a kid. Bought a couple cars. Moved nearly every year since 2011.

Absolutely horrible. A game that means nothing just to freeze… The only way I’ll go is if we’ve clinched the South. Then we just chant dumb things at the Zoobs all night. Oh, there’s a game going on?

That’s gotta be someone that doesn’t pay attention to the PAC-12. Incredible. OR, they’re assuming we lose out and ASU/USC win out? Either way, a 7 win Power 5 team most definitely doesn’t miss out on a bowl.

If USC really wanted to get ahead of the game, they’d spearhead ushering out Larry Scott. From there, you hire a guy who won’t put all the eggs in a Network. Networks were good for all of 5 minutes. After you clean up that mess and negotiate better national starting times, you look east and expand to 16 before anyone else. Entertain that…[Read more]

The throwing plays are all going to have to be straightforward enough to where there isn’t an RPO + 3 reads to make in the process. Simple play action with creative routes and a very heavy dose of Moss. The defense has to find their footing as well. If the D does their job yesterday, we probably win.
