For real this time?
He said one week ago - “I’ll be back here. We’re going to run it back.”

Sounds like the Runnin Rebs got outbid to keep their own guy. Nasty world out there.

Re: Are we in a bowl?

I follow a good number of barstool account on social media, and have felt like the promotion of this game by Barstool has been extremely limited. They posted a 3 minute interview with Bohl that was about half highlights. Apparently I am not the only one to notice: https://www.reddit.com/r/barstools...

Re: The College Football Game That Mystified Vegas

I couldn’t read the article and don’t plan to subscribe to do so, but this timeline was kind of stupid “ A surge of suspicious bets came in for UNLV to defeat New Mexico last month. Nobody knows why.”. Wouldn’t most everyone have bet on UNLV to beat NM beforehand. What am I missing? The surge was a...

Re: Signing Day

Questions: 1. Does anyone feel the 3 word thing reminds them of the Dave Matthews / Nicole Kidman (Just Go With It) verbal exchange when they leave eachother's company? 2. Dafua is #LA24DISE ??? Class of 2024, Laramie? Ugh. I think the social media graphics have been trash all season long.

Re: Thorburn Interview With Burman: details on hiring Sawvell, his contract, vision for the future.

Thorburn article today has details on the buyout. Also says that news on assistant coaches/staffing won't come until after the bowl game, and that Sawvel will not call the defense as HC. "If Sawvel were to leave UW for another job in athletics, at the college or professional level, in the first...

Re: SF Austin

We are a good bit deeper than I thought. Our guards need to play much much cleaner. I hope Walters can contribute offensively, because Powell and the big Euro give us basically nothing on that end of the floor.

Re: Thorburn Interview With Burman: details on hiring Sawvell, his contract, vision for the future.

Good summary, thanks

I guess I take Burman at his word that approached the year as if Bohl may be on his way out. But how different does that contingency planning look from a honest-to-goodness coaching search to fill a real vacancy?

Re: Jay Sawvel named head coach

I would have preferred a national search. And I would prefer someone with HC experience at some level. BUT let's give him our support. What else can we do? These days, I wonder whether you aren't better off promoting from within simply to minimize attrition via the portal, not to mention recruits. ...

Something about 60-60 is very fitting. I really hope we can send him out with a win though.

Re: MW All 25 Season Teams

Brett Smith was a better college QB than either of them Absolute nonsense. Allen was absolutely dominant in 2016. The only conference games we lost were to Vegas in which we scored 66 points but gave up 68 and to New Mexico when the horrible defense gave up 56 points. In 2017, Allen threw 16 td's a...

Re: MW All 25 Season Teams

Lots of recency bias. Brett Smith, Chase Roullier, Brian Hill, Adam Goldberg, Patrick Chukwurah, were all names that came to my mind. The recency bias is definitely insane. Carson Strong? Sorry, he was a nice player but doesn't belong anywhere near an all 25 season team. Compared to Strong Brett Sm...
