Seattle is a great city, but Fisch has to be thinking, stay one more year in Tucson, and he would have had a legit playoff contender. And then when Florida lets Napier go, Fisch could have gone home for more money and have his dream job. Instead, Fisch is as far away from Gainesville as possible, an...

Hire mid major coaches get mid major game play and results. But he’s a tomey guy so everyone is happy Urban Meyer had 2 years at Bowling Green and 2 at Utah when they were in the Mountain West before heading to Gainesville and winning 2 National Championships in 6 years. Did his 4 years at a low ma...

Or a counter play? NAU is overpursuing. Need to exploit it.

AzCatFan2

Silly penalties, missed chip shot field goals, and best players not showing up. This is a recipe for disaster.

3 OL just did a 'O lay block and let an NAU lineman take a free shot at Fifita on a critical 3rd down. Ugly.

We're being dominated at the LOS by NAFuckingU. Just pathetic.

God damn fucking embarrassing. Playing like a bunch of pansy ass pussies, not Wildcats.

Not surprised with UCONN. Not sure the math works out. UCONN certainly adds value for both men's and women's basketball. But the rest of their athletic department leaves plenty to be desired, and they add travel costs to a good portion of the conference which is centered around the state of Texas.

When trying to figure out our D, remember, it was game 1 against an opponent playing game 2. Often, the largest improvement during the year is between game 1 and 2. We couldn't stop UNM the first half. But 2nd half, only 15 points, with the last 8 coming after a 3rd down stop negated by a unsportsma...

It's not that basketball isn't valuable. Clearly March Madness drives a lot of revenue. It's the fact that regular season NCAA Basketball games aren't the lead sports stories in most places unless a local team is involved. That's because the NBA and NHL are playing games one the same dates. And pro ...

Average NBA regular season game averages over 1.5 million tv viewers. Average NCAA Basketball game is around 300,000. March Madness gets millions of viewers. But regular season NCAA Basketball games are rarely the top rated for any given day. Too much competition from NBA and even the NHL.

The idea that college basketball is only relevant in March is simply not true. Last year Michigan State/Arizona, Duke/UNC (x2), Gonzaga/Kentucky, and Kentucky/Tennessee all had TV ratings that rival top college football games and none of those occurred in March. Who has bigger ratings than college ...

The problem with betting on college basketball is the NBA. College basketball competes night in/night out with the NBA, and there is no competing for the casual basketball fan. The only time college basketball takes the wheel is the last two weeks of March and first weekend on April. College footbal...

What does adding UCONN do for the University of Arizona? Make an already impossible basketball conference even harder? Add one of the farthest travel destinations that is difficult to get to for all sports? I think I understand what Yormack is thinking. Football is king, but college basketball owns ...

They still do Tontozona for a long weekend. I think it's like Thurs - Sun? Hard to tell what we'll get from ASu this year. Should have upgraded talent, but still question marks on both lines. Especially with depth. I expect an upgrade from 3 wins, but not huge. Probably looking at 5-6 wins with one ...

I chose UA because I wanted the major, D1 athletic school experience. I knew I was going to be in the band, and I was lucky enough that during my time at UA, I got a free trip to 3 bowl games including a Fiesta Bowl, and a Final Four trip. Can't get that at a small, liberal arts school, and I wouldn...

USA beat Guinea 3-0 to set up a quarterfinal with Morocco on Friday morning, 9:00 AM Eastern (6:00 AM Arizona). We're playing well, and there are some kids on the team that should be in consideration for the squad in 2026, including Kevin Paredes, who put two into the net today. He's only 21, and ha...

Olympics is a young roster. All under 23 minus 3 special picks. Big tournaments have the A team. Smaller ones have a B team. Olympics is basically the C team. A lot of youngsters that you just haven't heard much about. With that said, the US is up 2-0 on Guinea right now, about 15 minutes left in th...

How is England's young talent "untested" exactly? Bellingham was player of the year in La Liga. Foden was player of the year in the EPL. Saka was the leading scorer for Arsenal.

England's talent and the US' talent are in no way comparable. What "younger talent" are you referring to for the US? For some reason, the US media still treats our players like they are young, but Adams, McKennie, Pulisic, etc. are all mid-20s. This is their prime years and they aren't that good. F...

England has more talent, and is a higher ranked soccer country. But the US had the opportunity to play a WC on home soil, and does not lack for talent. And probably has more younger talent in the pool with experience than England. I agree that Pochettino likely chooses the Lions over the Yanks, but...

Former England coach, Gareth Southgate, has been linked to the USMNT job. Makes sense. Fits the desires for a Euro coach, and current US Soccer Exec is from Wales and knows Southgate well.

Columbia and Argentina were the class of the Copa, and the final didn't disappoint for the most part. Only disappointment was Messi not being able to finish, and James not having enough gas for extra time. But still, Argentina's depth was on display, and you get the feeling that even without Messi a...

Makes sense the B1G and SEC aren't keen on adding FSU, Clemson, or Miami. Anyone but Notre Dame isn't worth more than what the schools are already getting. And for the B1G, these schools aren't AAU. Getting FSU and Clemson would be a huge coup for Yormack and the BIG12. And agreed, it would take a t...

Being a top Club Coach is a year-round job. Being a Country Coach allows someone to "work" while on vacation, when the players are playing for their clubs. Klopp doesn't want the figures rigors of being a Club guy. Coaching a country would be ideal. The issue is money. Klopp would command a lot more...

I was in El Paso 1992 too. Ugly game in the rain and cold. Couldn't punch it in from the 1 if I remember correctly, and that cost us the game.

There's an old baseball adage. Score as many runs you can today, but remember, the scoreboard resets back to zero tomorrow, and the runs don't carry over. The Beaves beat us 2 out of 3, but the Ls count the same if had lost both games by 1 each, or 100 each. And on Saturday, after the scoreboard res...

If Pope matches or exceeds Cal's level, then this is a homerun hire. Kentucky fans will give Pope a little more rope, because he's an alumni. If Pope fails, and doesn't last his first full contract, then expectations will be lower, and the next guy can come in and reach Cal's level and fans will be ...

Pope's also never won a game in the NCAA Tournament. Five years at BYU, one COVID year, 1 no bid, 1 NIT bid, and 2 first round losses. Can't see Kentucky fans too happy about this record.

Billy Donovan would be a home run hire. But Donovan left Florida because he didn't enjoy recruiting any more. And this was before the transfer portal and NIL.

Guys like Sampson (68) and Barnes (69) are way too old.

This team simply didn't have the mental fortitude to play a full 40 minutes at a top level. We saw it just about every game. Huge mental lapses when the team would play stretches of full dog shit basketball, smell and all. We saw it all the first half against Dayton. We were the best team in the cou...

Another dog shit performance in the first half. And another disappointment to end the season. Sadly, not unexpected.

I love Bradley off the bench. Having a 6th man with no drop off from the starters, who may be an even better player than a starter is a weapon. Boz has a higher upside than Bradley in my opinion, but Bradley is a better defender. Start Boz, and if he's playing well, great. If not, as CTL put it, Bra...
