RUUTES

I think I’d be fine with an 8 team playoff. No way all the corporations..er…conferences would give up the extra bowl games now. But you could do a 4-2-1 system without eliminating the toilet bowls.

Conference Champs from P5, Top ranked champion from a G5, 2 at large for highest ranked. I could live with that. It’s the natural evolution and…[Read more]

Yes we under performed for what we actually had on the field…not what was predicted at the first of the season.

The injuries only really happened at the ASU game and the lack of Moss in the PAC Championship were factors. But frankly even without Moss and Huntley and Covey we also under-performed spotting other teams all those points every first…[Read more]

Why doesn’t the NCAA have some basic guidelines about turf? Honestly that blue turf is both a cheat and an affront to the eyes of any viewers. That being said…sad…so sad the Aggies couldn’t do what the Bulldogs did….but glad the Bulldogs pulled it off.

Now the tater zoobs can stay home and play in the tater bowl.

That is a very fair point. But we also should have a more meaningful ranking agreement for bowl placement in the PAC 12. Still, We should have won at least one of the 4 games we lost. 9-4 is better than I thought we’d do this year….but it ended up being an under performance. Next year we should do better (injuries aside)

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.
