EVCat, I mostly agree with you. I will say remember that one of his most important defensive players was Jared Tevis, a walk-on under Mike Stoops. Plus Will Parks, and they put Flowers in a position to be drafted with his position move. Scooby was one of theirs. So they did develop some talent, and...

zonagrad, you bring up a good point about ASU's basketball program. Arizona is one of only a handful of schools where the basketball program and football program both are revenue giants. Usually it's only the football program. IIIRC, baseball also makes a small profit (I could be wrong on that but I...

I don't know how much I would count on the student fee in the future. The AG filed that publicity stunt of a suit saying tuition was way too high (that's a separate discussion) but one of the side effects is that it may start kicking over a big can of worms. Requiring an athletics fee is likely to f...

tOSU can just show them this. Not that the UA competes with The Ohio State for recruits. https://twitter.com/OhioStateFB/status/813491660596322304 Well, UW can probably show something similar considering the CFPlife hashtag. That reddit thread had fans from other teams saying "sounds reasonable to ...

I haven't seen any national mentions of the bus trip. If you really think that the possibility of a 4.5 hour bus trip once in a blue moon is going to affect recruiting... you're really reaching there.

I put it under the category of "why the hell not?" A lot of teams in various sports have done this lately and it's not hurting anything, so what the heck, go for it.

forget comparing football to basketball, or our program to any other power conference program.....when the hell was the last time our football team took a bus that far/long to a game? Well, here's a different question: When was the last time the football team played somewhere that was this far off?...

Addiction is a bastard and I hope he can stay on the right path. I've seen too many people fighting it and even if he never plays a down, if he can keep his life together, then that's enough of a win.

azpenguin

As far as the bus thing: if AZ was winning I don't think anyone would be making hay of this. It's not an issue.

Arizona by 45+. Arizona should have no trouble moving the ball and will probably roll up another 500+ yard performance on the ground. I may actually be going to this game. 4-1/2 hour drive and I can stop in Hatch for some green chile on the way back. Too bad they didn't tie this in with the Hatch C...

Those attendance figures... I'd say there were more people at the ULL game than the UCLA game in 2011. Damn near entire sections were empty for UCLA. And then AZ blew them the hell out, there was a brawl before half, the streaker. Most entertaining game of the year.

I originally had thought the ref called Poindexter out of the endzone, since that is what it looked like to me when it happened. However, replays showed that he definitely dragged his foot in the end zone while having possession. That's exactly what the ref called. He made the OOB indication after ...

No way we can afford for the program to have him here through 2019. The damage that would cause would nearly take decades to recover from. Better to lose a few millions now than destroy the program until 2035. Oh God give it a break already. It only took us about four years to recover from Makevic ...

Michael Lev was rewatching the game and making some comments on twitter. Said that the play before he missed Ellison on the end zone that Dawkins took a seriously hard shot from a UH defender.

azpenguin

Arizona should have won this game by two TDs. They had plenty of opportunities. But they had too many unforced errors. Houston does get credit for playing some pretty stingy D. But bad passes, drops, fumbles that should not have happened... they could have easily rolled up 30+ points. That said, we ...

I just don't see how they could do a "blow up the stadium and start over" kind of rebuild. Play a season in Phoenix? The revenue losses to the program would be staggering and that would reverberate across the entire athletic department. They'd have to figure out how to do what ASU did, which was to...

So ChooChoo is the second one I've seen that wants the numbers outlined in white for readability... but I'm all the way up in 201 and for the first time in a long time, I can read the numbers clearly without the outlines. I wondered what the difference would be, so I did a quick 'n' dirty Photoshop ...

Oh, Taylor will get the bulk of the carries but RR is going to want to split the workload. If Wilson is out then Tilford is probably the #2 back.

562 yards to NAU. And like I've already said, it's been talked about and posted on this boars multiple times. Also, I never said the team has quit, just that RR doesn't have the locker room. Different things completely. Not my job to hold your hand and give you a pacifier and read for you. Fire RR....

If AZ can throw for at least 200 they win. That's a big if.

RichRod didn't have anything to do with the cupcake schedule. That was Livengood and Stoops. UTSA, Nevada, UNLV were all signed up while they were running the show. Byrne/RichRod got 3 with BYU, home and homes with Texas Tech, Mississippi St., Nebraska, San Diego State, Kansas State, Colorado State ...

Was the Taco Bell 2 for 1 tickets the new guy's idea?

I think they were doing that last season as well.

Remember the old cliche: "The most popular guy in town is the backup quarterback." It's almost always true.

You have something of that sort in the NFL in "Targeted" in defensive stats. There's a site called "CFB Film Room" (who is looking for volunteers for this year to chart games, BTW) dedicated to advanced stats that is slowly building a database of teams. That's one of the stats they keep.

azpenguin

You're watching a few minutes of the very start of practice. You're watching them basically warm up and that's about it. RR packs a lot into practice time; when he got here reporters were saying one thing that stood out is how much they get done in a single practice compared to previous coaches.

azpenguin

As someone who has left the stadium after midnight on several occasions, I'm good with this. My suggestion to help things along is no TV timeouts until each team has had a full possession in each half. No TV timeout on change of possession, after a TD, etc, until both teams have had the ball. It wou...

Ahhhhhhhh yeah... come back into town from a trip and this is waiting for me. Awesome, let's get through this long summer.

Well, with the current lack of depth at RB I'm pretty sure Tilford will get a chance to push for playing time as well. At 6'2" and 215 lbs, that'll make up some of the difference right there. Would love to see some two-back sets with JJ and Tilford and RichRod probably would as well.

azpenguin

The Nova home loans Arizona bowl sold beer in the stadium, even some Barrio & Four Peaks options. You would think that might give the AD a data point of reference for sales numbers & issues compared to attendance for here in Tucson. I'm quite sure the AD was paying attention to how it went. It's ea...

They're either gonna go 4-8 or 8-4. We might see that the young guys learned from all the lumps they took last year, and the offense stays healthy enough that Dawkins and Taylor can run wild and Dawkins will have chances to throw due to the run game. OR the talent isn't going to be there on defense,...

Saying the RichRod hire is a strike against Byrne is wrong IMO. Hiring a coach is always a crapshoot. The first three years under RR were a good stretch and a lot of fun. It's not like he hired a guy who came in and floundered from day one. Stoops was at a point where he had to be let go; he'd done ...

Welp. Roll Tide.

RichRod just got voted president of the AFCA for 2017. Apparently his peers think highly of him.
