He just thoroughly owns Larry. We’re now 1-11 against Oregon, and the crazy thing is…this Oregon team isn’t that good.
So predictably disappointing. One of these years, Larry has to figure it out, even if it’s just dumb luck. -

iamthepreacher replied to the topic Compensating College athletes. in the forum Football 5 years, 11 months ago
I agree this would just turn college football into a minor league system where players would go wherever they’re paid the most. Not a good idea. The charm of college football is that it’s associated with universities. Going to football games is part of the campus experience.
Once you start paying players, it begs the question: what is the poi…[Read more]

iamthepreacher replied to the topic OC search in the forum Football 5 years, 11 months ago
I disagree. I think the most simple explanation is typically the right one. And in this case, I believe the reason we’re not able to land Rich Rod and Sark is because we can’t pay the kind of money that they’re able to get from other places. It’s just economics. Sometimes it works in your favor, and other times it doesn’t. We’ve landed big name co…[Read more]

It would be odd for them to announce something on a Sunday. I wouldn’t expect it.

iamthepreacher started the topic Tough Game Today in the forum Football 6 years, 1 month ago
It’s not an easy thing to ask Jason Shelley to make his first ever career start on the road in a total blizzard. Shelley showed he’s got a little gamer in him during last week’s game, so that’s a good sign, but today’s game will be a totally different type of game. We need our defense and running game to come up big. We need to hang on to the…[Read more]

iamthepreacher started the topic Stadium in the forum Football 6 years, 1 month ago
I am always amazed at how many people’s inclination is to complain after hearing the news about the stadium. The expansion is too small, too expensive, not enough bleachers, blah, blah, blah.
If your reaction is anything other than this is a MASSIVE WIN for our football team, fans, recruits, etc. then you seriously need to check yourself. -

It’s crazy that a player of his talent and depth can’t get on the field, goes to show the depth we have.

iamthepreacher replied to the topic Call me crazy, but I like what Cal is doing on offense using two QB's in the forum Football 6 years, 3 months ago
Who knows how Cal will be this year. They were 5-7 last year (2-7 in conference). They are 2-0 now with some decent wins over NC and BYU on the road. Whatever they are doing differently seems to be working so far.
15 years ago someone could have said “show me a top 25 team running a spread offense…there aren’t any, so clearly it doesn’t work.”…[Read more]

iamthepreacher started the topic Call me crazy, but I like what Cal is doing on offense using two QB's in the forum Football 6 years, 3 months ago
Teams use 2-3 different running backs depending on the situation. Same with WR’s. Same with DB’s. Same with just about every other position on the field.
It’s conventional to only use one QB, but if you want to be innovative, you’ve got to be willing to break convention.
If you have two guys who are solid and bring different wrinkles, why not…[Read more] -
iamthepreacher started the topic I tried to tell you guys the Vegas line in the Battle of the Kitties was off. in the forum Pac-12 6 years, 3 months ago
I brought up that AZ had no O Line. BYU was going to force Tate to beat them with his arm, and Tate isn’t a passer. And AZ doesn’t play defense. Those are HUGE red flags, but sometimes you have to be willing to take off the crimson glasses to see things clearly.

iamthepreacher started the topic The Battle of the Kitties in the forum Pac-12 6 years, 3 months ago
I’m confused as to why Arizona is favored so much in this game. Arizona is breaking in 5 new offensive lineman against BYU. I don’t care if Tate is the second coming of Michael Vick…if your O Line is a disaster, your offense will be a disaster. Combine that with the fact that Sumlin’s offense is all about the pass, but their QB is all about the…[Read more]

iamthepreacher replied to the topic Educate me on recruiting. in the forum Football 6 years, 11 months ago
I think you’re way over simplifying things. In many cases, probably most cases, if a player medically retires he actually is closing the chapter on playing football for good reasons. It’s a physically taxing game, so it’s understandable for a player to retire. If they wanted to keep playing the game (on scholarship, no less), they would just trans…[Read more]

iamthepreacher started the topic I'm not in the fire Whitt camp by any means, but… in the forum Football 7 years, 1 month ago
Folks need to stop with the excuses of how Whitt is in such a tough spot when it comes to recuiting to the U. Why is recruiting a kid to come play in Salt Lake City more difficult than getting a kid to come to Pullman, WA?
Is location a factor in recruiting? Sure it is. Are the school’s football tradition and brand a factor in recruiting? Sure…[Read more] -
iamthepreacher started the topic MUST WIN game on Saturday. in the forum Football 7 years, 1 month ago
I labeled last week’s game against UCLA a must-win, and thankfully the team read my post and took care of business 🙂
I’m going to label this weeks game a must win as well. Here’s why:
Looking ahead, we have play at #12 Washington next week. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re not going to win that game. We might even get blown out.…[Read more] -
iamthepreacher started the topic What to expect? in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
I’m guessing that tomorrow’s game will be closer than many are expecting or hoping for. With so many new players and the new offensive scheme, I’m expecting numerous miscues. I could also see UND capitalizing on some missed assignments in our inexperienced secondary.
We do have an extremely athletic team so I’m also hoping to see more explosive…[Read more] -

iamthepreacher started the topic Grading Whittingham in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago
I was thinking about the various aspects of being a head coach and for kicks and giggles decided to grade Coach Whitt across each these categories:
Recruiting: B+ (Recruiting has been pretty solid under Whitt, and it’s certainly on an upward trajectory. The only knock would be securing more of the top local talent and perhaps landing a few more e…[Read more]
