I don’t love Friday night games for viewership. But miday on a week day isn’t as good IMHO ever. Half the country still works that day. _0_/

I question your premise. But you are, of course, welcome to the opinion. Wonder if we’ll play Bronco in El Paso now…happy happy joy joy…

I think 2017 had people thinking the same thing…except that Alabama didn’t win then and may not win now. Though I am highly doubtful that it will be ND to beat them. Clemson might repeat. Maybe not….but it’s not a done deal.

Nothing in that calculation forces the Holiday Bowl to skip us. The Holiday Bowl is the 3rd choice…if the “prediction” is true then they are just picking a lower win, non-division-winning team over us.

Sucks for WSU. They would stomp UCF. But it use getting jobbed by the Holiday bowl is a separate issue.

That being said, UCF won all its…[Read more]

I realize the payout doesn’t matter because of the revenue sharing agreement but the TV time matters a lot. So does the quality of opponent. A ranked vs an un-ranked team. And a mid day game during a work day vs A weekend or evening time makes a bit of a difference for exposure.

Also being able to travel better to the Holiday bowl shows future…[Read more]

Yeah both NW and GA had a moment where I was hopeful for some chaos. But this is not that year. 🙁

I’m pretty pissed. Not surprised. Just pissed.

Go Utes, but F&(*K you PAC 12 and your corrupt bowl scheme.

A smell is all they got

Please yes it makes a lot of difference in our chances for sure.

The more I think about the good things I’ve seen these last 4 games the better I feel too.

I’d keep Dixon. Covey got hurt.  Thompson was trying to make his first catch.  And UW coverage wasn’t bad.  The Mariner flub killed us but it was also a fluke so while I think he under performed I also wouldn’t deny kids scholarships this year.  Might check and see what is getting coached.  The kids didn’t do bad the second half of the year.  It’s…[Read more]

I hate the sun bowl only slightly less than the Vegas Bowl

Shelly is way ahead of just about any freshman QB we’ve had that I can remember who was playing a real team with only 3 games under his belt.  

Matt Gay is a kicking god.

Green might do some running if Shyne can’t.  Clearly 0 yard passes aren’t going to get it done.

3 and out 3 and out…D will be gassed by half if we keep this up gah.

You can schedule down and still not play FCS.  Any MWC or cUSA team will on an average year still be a cake walk but not a discredit to the schedule.  Or a weak sister P5 team that at least gets us National exposure.  Playing Weber  or SUU gets us no recruiting and no TV exposure and no ranking.  We can still play easy without playing…

We really need to have Only 1 in state game a year, no FCS teams, and alternate between TDS and USU.  I’m fine never playing TDS again but realistically the arguments favor alternating between G5 opponents in state.  
Having only 3 OOC games we need better national coverage and that can be done with some scrub P5 opponents from other conferences…[Read more]

I missed that interview.  BTW my question isn’t intended to be negative.  I am just curious since I often hear the other coaches mentioned. 

Depends on the bowl game.  Would love to see everyone healthy enough to take some snaps but feeling plenty of love for the guys who just won us 3 great games in a row.
