I mean, almost impossible, but the five highest-ranked conference champions includes the champions of the ACC, Big Ten, Big12, and SEC and THEN the highest-ranked champion of the G5. So a 9-3 champion would be in, but likely be the 12 seed as the G5 would likely be higher ranked and get the 4 seed (1st round bye).

We should start whistling and hissing like other countries instead of booing. I think the oo sound just carries and is differentiated from the oh sound (for general crowd noise) or ah in yeaaaaaahhhh for cheers. It’s just sounds voicing an emotion. So, really, you are saying you don’t feel there should be any negative emotions shared, only good…[Read more]

His contract already gives him 1.5M upon retirement and 995k/yr for 5 years as an asst to the AD. Either way, he’s fine.

Sports are our gladiators. Our proxy for war pitting champions against champions.

I don’t boo much, but when I do, I do it loudly.

Even after he steps down, he has a 5-year agreement to be a special assistant to the AD for just under $1M/yr

I do doubt Whitt will give him free reigns. He’ll still want time of possession and a balanced attack, but hopefully the pass plays, motion, quick routes, etc. will get better to help Isaac get rid of the ball and make quick decisions and the offense will move more. Even under center vs shotgun or going quick paced at points could change things.

I turned probably between you two on Sunday.

I think one could argue that the playcalling relies on execution, so Cam/Isaac not executing would lead to unconverted opportunities (how many redzone or close 4th downs were not converted). But maybe that playcalling isn’t what matches the talent/skill level of Cam/Isaac at the time, so they need to make changes. Also, if a team is stacking the…[Read more]

Please – so then Isaac will somehow light it up and we find an identity.

But that’s not fun! 😉 Reminds me of Washington Redskins FC finding a new name. I like Blizzard (go with Avalanche in the west) or Yeti. Outlaws ok. Venom and Mammoth are bleh (and Mammoth is the Colorado Lacrosse team, not that it matters). Of course they will rebrand after everyone has bought UHC gear so they can sell the all new kits.

Agree. I think he has a couple options and he has the right to make the choice:
– medically retire. Welcome back to the U as a GA or any other endeavor he chooses
– transfer to another school and they figure out the NIL worth and he makes money to continue the dream. one year rental and good luck (but as others have stated, maybe he goes to a…[Read more]

This was the argument IF he played this year. But he is now eligible for another medical redshirt, so he would get another year based on that (not this other legal stuff which was mostly a maybe). He’d be like the Miami player that is in his 8th year (due to 3 season ending injuries while not playing enough for the year to be ‘booked’).

Huard has said he is the best practice squad qb in the nation (a little in jest) – he knows his role and I hope he gets a chance.

I feel like the defense has been a little more disappointing than the offense. With change of QB on offense, opposing defenses have made it harder and forced Isaac to beat them and he’s just not quite there yet. However, our TOP is pretty good, so the defense should be fresh and flying around the field.

It wasn’t really timed for damage. More like, I’m playing well, give me more money or the timing coincides with me being able to redshirt (he has a degree) and play another year somewhere else for more $.

QB2s shouldn’t redshirt, even if Freshman. He’s played in 12 full quarters + 2 partials (end of 2Q). Cam has played 2 full quarters and 2 partial quarters (most of 2 2Q). We need them both. Rose apparently must be slow if he can’t pick up the playbook in 2 years. Huard is new, so he gets a pass as he claims to be the best practice team qb in the nation.

My point was what were his numbers at USC after what he did at Arizona?

Plus, we have played 1/4 of the season, with our starting QB playing 1/4-1/3 of that. Wilson has played 8+ quarters, so passing has not been so hot so far.

You’ll love it when he’s here in 2 years after seeing Isaac tear it up next year and being disenchanted with the USC alure and not being used well (see Dorian Singer).

See him in 2 years when he’s unhappy with playing time and he sees Isaac tearing it up.
