Those listed are the place kicker, punter, long snapper. I’m sure he’ll be returning punts, maybe kickoffs (esp the new format).

New Mexico usually produces 1 3-star a year, maybe 2. Recruiting usually has to recruit into west Texas, leftover Arizona and a few here and there. It’s definitely a place where it’s better to have a system. UNM did ok when they went to a run-heavy, zone blocking system. They have also done short stints with a spread but usually don’t have the qb…[Read more]

I don’t know why a team would trade when they could get him in a couple hours on their terms. Unless they want to lock him up and not get in a bidding war? Or offload some guaranteed salary of someone? I guess I don’t know enough of the pros/cons (except Broncos trying to get something of value in return)

The offseason is always too long and seems to get longer. Then BAM! season starts and I try to keep up and by the time I’m in my peak watching groove, it’s week 5. Then the next 7 fly by bowls come and it’s over again.

Teamwork

I get this sentiment (no one would watch Utah). We have gained a ton of respect in football and legacy basketball, but only 9% lives in the space between I north-south line west of DFW and the far west coast populations. And that includes Phoenix, SLC, Denver. There is an argument there just aren’t the eyeballs/interest. I think any league still…[Read more]

They have the same issue with us BUT not the other Big 12 teams they’ve played for years. It’s the cumulative effect (more of the road games). Ok St. has @ BYU and @ CU as their only ‘new’ locale. We have @ Stillwater, @ Houston, @ UCF (but luckily Utah St. is close, non-conference anyway, @ ASU which we are used to, @ CU which we are used to.…[Read more]

Hopefully by UCF, we have locked up a spot in the CCG and we can play loose and free. And I agree that UCF could be banged up, negating their young talent they have been building.

To me, it’s less about the stadium itself, but the road trips where it’s all new. Cognitive load taking away from the focus on the game. We have a great logistics staff and they are visiting these locations and getting tips from the schools and conference (where to stay, eat, etc.). But each player may feel a little off in knowing simple stuff…[Read more]

Wow, with the players we have on defense, that’s encouraging. And it seems the defense usually leads as the offense gets it together with timing, blocking, etc. So hopefully this means our offense is top of the conference and our defense still is one of the best ever. Going to be a fun year.

Yeah, felt like last year everything went wrong and we still did ok.

Even sadder, would be starting his 2nd NFL year after offensive rookie of the year.

No reason. I don’t know enough about Randle and Mitchell other than 90 and 86 as recruits. We’ll need them all and whoever can deliver, I’m all for. Hoping top 2 are work horses and RB3 and beyond are only needed if for depth for injuries.

When I saw the question, my first reaction was Kuithe then Singer. But I like where some are going with their predictions. Kuithe’s continued health will obviously be a question until he plays all the games and stays healthy, but anyone is prone to an injury. Parks and Pittman will be in the mix enough and we’ll get some catches from a few other…[Read more]

My CA cousin says UC schools are where it’s at and they’d rather have their kids go out of state than to a poo poo CA St. school. Jokes. I agree with others that Fresno St. and Boise St. are 2 G5 schools that can launch a HC career into a good P4 job when they come available.

Joking of course. I was actually born in Walnut Creek while my parents lived in Tracy. Moved just before I was 3 though. I actually have not been to Fresno, but my BIL grew up there and has mixed feelings. Mostly the summer heat and that it’s not that developed is the feeling I get are the detractors from my SIL, but she could be biased by in-law…[Read more]

That’s kind of what I was thinking. I wonder if there is some ADHD or something else beyond a feeling of entitlement. Maybe he needs a different kind of support or at least a roommate that can keep him on schedule.

I can’t believe Rising can play an 8th season. But he’s likely going to make more in NIL than as an UDFA. I just don’t see his injury history getting him drafted, even if he has a stellar year. That would just be insane. I love Rising and he’s a great college player. I think it would be great for 2025 continuity (possibly if they win the Big 12,…[Read more]
