i have sort of a sinking feeling about this game....i think we are talented enough to win a lot of games this year...talented enough to win this one....but i swear the win over lindenwood felt like a loss...yes i know we had 4 TO's and tons of dropped passes...but we just didn't look good. Sure hop...

Don't believe Idaho is in Pacific Time Zone

The western half, including both U of Idaho and Boise, is.

I suspect we won't see in our starting QB what we have seen in our last two QBs. That doesn't mean we can't have a successful season, it just means that the QB may not be the headliner.

Throw for 200, run for 250? I can get behind an offense like that.

Joe Burchette would like a word.

Tennessee games will definitely make at least the third screen every week for me. Behind us, Texas (wife's alma mater), and Michigan (two of my kids' main rooting interest).

They will likely drop Campbell. My understanding is the the P4 schools will trend away from FCS opponents.

They'll drop us before they lose a home gate, 100%. Or maybe they drop both us and them and replace them both with home dates against G6 schools.

Isn’t every year going to be a rebuilding year? If we have to replace a third or more of our roster it’s going to be constant. We are in that group of teams who will be complete unknowns every year unless we figure out how to retain probably 20 key guys for at least two years. This. They might as w...

I should have added that I don’t include App State in that theoretical lower third. Just a few years ago in my opinion we were solidly in the top 3rd if you go with 40 teams per third. I think we’d all agree that App was a solid top 40 program. Now it’s all about knowing how to reload 20-30 (or mor...

Hopefully we aren’t trending in that downward direction but honestly what’s the point of probably a third (or more) of the current FBS teams remaining at this level? If the top 40-60 FBS teams move to a model of only playing each other with an expanded playoff system what are the bottom third even ...

I'm in year 3 on my dynasty as the OC for App (Heisman, default sliders, offense only gameplay). I gotta say, the 2025 season went better than expected. Boise beat the piss out of us, and Oregon State won it in the final seconds. But we finished 7-5 and went bowling. I think a lot of people would ta...

Appreciate you sharing the article, but besides it being poorly written, it was a pretty depressing account of what the current landscape is. And should DL enjoy any success he’s outta here with the first good offer. What’s depressing about it? Sounds like a microcosm of American life to me. And ye...

Still happens a few times a year, someone up here will see me in my ASU gear and it sparks a conversation. Used to be they assumed I was some tOSU guy trying to stir shit up, but enough time has passed that they ask if I went there first.

Every season is basically a complete new team. This, right here, needs to be burned into the brains of every fan of every school now, regardless of where you sit on the totem pole. While schools like us will feel this harder than others will, NOBODY is immune to getting poached. The days of a five ...

Interesting points. Are the good G5’s even trying to recruit the higher rated players anymore? I’m sure they still try but you can almost ask what’s the point? Flip side is that if the higher rated G5’s became in essence the triple A and the top tier high school players came for 2 years then if goo...

I switched my giving from YC to the general funds a while ago. That was before NIL and the portal made this a rent-a-player situation, but until that changes I will not give any to YC just so we can borrow people for a year or two. I don't care if we go 0-12 or 12-0, I stand firm on that. I'll give ...

At the high school level we are seeing a lot of sports (not just football and basketball) getting harder for seniors to land major D1 spots. The trickle down effect is leading to more kids going the mid-major or D2 route and asked to work their way up. We can benefit for a season or two if played c...

That is the worst advice you can give. Strive for greatness and if you land short you're still successful.

So 2024 was still successful?

I’ve seen high school staffs better. How does this happen? Do guys forget how to throw strikes?

Too much focus on velocity and spin rate, the art of actual pitching has been lost.

First off, congrats to your daughter!

While my oldest, a senior, has decided to go out of state I have two others that have their eyes firmly locked on UM (and they will have no issues with regards to grades getting in there, they got their mom's brain) there ain't much of an in-state discount there.

Players making more than their position coach, this is the NFL. The concentration of talent is going to be taken up a level.

We have done this to ourselves.

Couple that with the increase in roster size, it's going to get unsustainable for all but a very small few.
