Even though we're facing another QB primed to air it out, the Wildcats defense held up better than expected Vs the Huskies last Saturday and hopefully they can slow Caleb Williams down even a little. Either way, I feel much better about going against USC. Whereas Washington has a sense of playing de...

Austin TX - Much larger than expected, which, as I learned, makes sense given how Austin metro has doubled their population since my 90s childhood living in the San Antonio/Austin corridor (1995 - 1.0 Mil; 2020 - 2.2 Mil). Two recent trips to Texas last month. More time in/out of the Austin Airport...

This is the closest we have to a Tucson Radio thread, but I was pretty sad last month to turn to 1400AM and find out KTUC - Tucson's oldest radio station - has flipped their Oldies format to Talk Radio. Gone are all the relaxing yesteryear tunes that made great soundtrack for a Sunday drive. One of ...

Udub is really, really good. To say I'm not confident about facing Washington is a major understatment. I severely underrated the Huskies going into the season, thinking their defense would take a step back and major losses on the OL would slow the offense. Instead the UW has absolutely torched eve...

Today's line for USC @ ASU is -34.5. This is one of the few games with a line that wide where I'll take the over, USC winning by 35 or more. And I could even see the Trojans beating the line by halftime. After trouncing Stanford last Saturday 56-10, Caleb Williams was vocal about wanting e everybody...

Needless to say this week's road game Vs a mid-to-poor Stanford team is a must win? Stanford looked slow and predictable in beating Hawaii, were mercilessly steamrolled by USC, and last weekend upset by Sacramento State. Because after Stanford the Wildcats next SEVEN opponents are currently RANKED: ...

Not even sure where to start with just how badly Arizona State played in their 29-0 loss to Fresno State. Their worst loss since UNLV upset a #15 ranked ASU in 2008? First home shutout since 1988 . 8 total turnovers. 5 interceptions to include two in-game QB benchings. Ineffective halftime adjustmen...

Week 1 viewers noticed right away the upsurge of commercials saturating through the broadcasts. An algorithm was used to pace commericals out. In contrast, the NFL, which hoists more contractual control over it's broadcasts, smartly regulated commercials from getting out of hand. The below video is ...

New reports say he was suspended but he will eventually be fired I am sure. Hope it’s for cause (instead on a settlement to quit), then he would forfeit the remaining 70m on his contract .

To pull comments from the Realignment thread on Cal (and Stanford) finalizing their move to the ACC, I completely agree with the following two quotes: I hope the ACC gets this done. We don't need to be stuck with these two again. & I'm just happy Stanford and Cal are off the board. I had some concer...

Per Channel 3 in Phoenix, ASSU just imposed a bowl ban for dead period recruiting violations under Herm.

UCLA received 66 votes in the preseason AP Poll, good for 28th . The preseason mag I bought ranks the Bruins 31st. So there's consensus this is an-almost ranked squad. A little surprised though.

The consensus amongst Big Ten fans from another board I frequent is that pursuing Washington/Oregon without first going all out for a combination of FSU/ND/Miami/Clemson/UNC is a BIG MISTAKE.
