How is he a bad hire?  It seems he has been successful at several places (DC at UGA the last few years, Asst HC/DB at Bama, 10 years as a DC in NFL with very solid Defenses, etc). 

edit – the D at Chicago Bears was horrible under Mel Tucker 2013-2015, worst in program history.

Yeah, but he would only bust the brown athletes,  AmIright?

(since the non-white athletes are the only ones that ever seem to get busted at byu-P, unless the NCAA gets involved as with Nick “the Dick” Emery – seriously, everybody who downvotes post this should go look at the history)

Let the Las Vegas bowl keep its name and brand. Start a new game that is a matchup between PAC and SEC. Screw the LV Bowl people. 

It I an absurd travesty that the 2 best teams in the SEC over much of the last decade (UGA and Bama) only play each other twice in 6-8 years with crossover games. Such a complete joke.  (Bama has a permanent crossover game with Tenn, and rotates 1 other team from SEC East each year).
I enjoy the 9-game conference season but it comes at an enormous…[Read more]

Good for UCF for going undefeated (again, for the third straight year). Great run for them.
That said, I watched a fair amount of their game yesterday vs Memphis. They simply outclassed Memphis is every way. The Memphis defenders were a good step it two slower than the defenders we see in the PAC, B1G, SEC, etc. They were able to break out on…[Read more]

Yeoli Child’s with 31/7/3 and 2 blocks. Just imagine what could if we offered him instead of putting all our eggs in the Markannen basket…

Great win for Fresno State. Jeff Tedford has  built a great team over there.

Matt Wells made around $1.4M last year. There is no way we pay that for assistant head coach. I think he made $300k last year at Utah.

The league is extremely screwed up with reffing. It is scandalous and is costing teams and the league a shit ton of money by keeping WSU out of a NY6 game. That is a legit point.
The non-call last night didn’t lose the game for us, buy it was another nail in the coffin of the trust in PAC-12 reffing. 
The good news is both Utah and UW fans were…[Read more]

It is very rare for a receiver to catch all his targets. It is so rare that the announcers will even mention it.

Lots of Husky fans who are on the moronic side of the spectrum have been wishing for Jake Browning to get injured or benched. Some even dare to yell about St. Pete’s playcalling and inability to get over the hump.
A number of WSU fans were calling for Mike Leach to get fired after losing the Apple Cup. 
Moronic fans are gonna moron.

Our second string Offense went 3-1 in November. 

I would love to replay last night’s game with Huntley, Moss, and Covey at full strength, and with UW missing Browning, Gaskin, and Baccelia. That would have been a fun outcome.
At this point I am happy neither team got called for targeting in the 2nd half. The conference needs to be at full strength for the bowls or else we will be embarrassed again.

UW was at full strength on offense, and had the ball twice as long. And they only managed to score 3 points on offense against our Defense.  That is amazing to me.

I see a lot of Oklahoma wrinkles in Troy Taylor’s offense. I hope we can get the offense to gel and become more cohesive and sharp. It is a work in progress and all of our skill players on Offense are very young. The future is bright.
I also wish we had more fun OOC games with other conferences. Hopefully we will drop to an 8-game league schedule…[Read more]

Washington State’s field goal range is within the 15 yard line. And even that isn’t a guarantee. (Kidding, mostly, and they  were completely jobbed by that call and by the ref debacle).

Yeah, but then you have to live in Zona. 
FWIW I took the picture in my avatar from my boat on a cold and grey December day. Water beats desert 100% of the time.

I went to the game at Husky Stadium a few years ago when we beat UW. The game was a few weeks after we waxed Oregon at Autzen. A group of nutbag frat bros walked past us at halftime shouting ‘Utah f*@#ing sucks! Go back to the Big Sky!’, dumb stuff like that. I told him to remind me what it feels like to beat Oregon.  (UW had lost 12 straight to…[Read more]

True, but the summers are spectacular. 

We have very good talent on offense. They are mostly FR and SO though. They will get better as time goes on.
