Our progress this year can be summed up as follows: We had less bad losses than we did the previous year. No wins against good teams in 2 years. Still losing to bad teams in year 2. This has all the signs of playoffs next year.

We finished 5-4 in the B10 in Jed's 2nd year. That is a 1 game improvement over his 1st year and puts us in the same rarified air as Minnesota and Illinois. To some, this may seem like an impressive feat, but the reality is that we are just a mediocre B10 team, just like last year. In...

Here are some reasons: Many coaches value abstract things like balance, getting everyone involved, formations, etc over doing what works. They won't run the ball if it means ruining the abstract thing they value. There is no glory in calling basic running plays when they are working. Any...

I think Sark really believed that nonsense he uttered. I think Fisch is just saying something positive for the media.

Agreed. If he just hits the checkdown it is a huge play as he was completely uncovered. But he throws it into an impossible situation instead.

He might be. Too early to tell. Fisch was 1-11 and 5-7 his first two years at Arizona. Year 3 their only 3 losses were by 7 to UW and then twice in OT on the road to Miss St and USC. Beginning of first year they lost at home to Northern Arizona. End of his third year they were one of the...

I am actually surprised we gave him a scholarship if his nuts hadn't dropped. I hear that is the first thing Chip Kelly checks.

When my wife asked if I was nervous, I just told her that Sark was our bitch. Everything that happened at the end was simply to make sure that there was no doubt about that fact in his mind.

His writing style is an affectation copied from film noir detectives. He wants the world to think he is Boston Blackie.

I'm just thankful he will have kim to comfort him after such a tough loss.

I am so sick of people saying this was an "impossible choice". It was easy. FSU undefeated, and Bama got beat by Texas. But it seems that after years of listening to experts talk about what the committee values, it was all a lie. What they really value is the SEC. For most teams, a...

Once Alabama beat Georgia, the only questions on the committee's mind was whether Texas or Florida St. was going to get screwed and how to try and spin that screwing. It appears they found the injury easier to sell than head to head.

The game reminded me a lot of the 2007 game vs Hawaii. Always special in December.

I'm a bit confused as to why DeBoer would be a hot commodity? I thought the way you get top 5 coaching jobs was to win 7 games, show up to work drunk a lot, and then do some repentance calisthenics.

I've learned a lot of important lessons as a husky fan over the last few decades from those much more intelligent and wise than I. I learned that holes of winlessness are insurmountable and can be used as an excuse for everything by the subsequent coach. I learned that average coaches deserve a...
