I miss the Pac 12 officials.

ztonyg

This game is giving me flashbacks to 2021.

ztonyg

I had hope for our season for all of one game.

I believe I'm being punished for referring to NAU as a "cupcake" game to a buddy of mine in Michigan on facebook.

Here's the irony: if JDL never gets injured we maybe go 7-5 (likely 6-6) and go to a lesser bowl and Fafita takes the reins the following year. Fisch falls off everyone's radar and we have a dynamite team heading into the Big 12. Be careful what you wish for. I believe we are witnessing the end of ...

I agree. Although at times I really did like Tate.

Foles never really impressed me but he went on to have a long NFL career and was the Super Bowl MVP.

ztonyg

I would take everything you hear about this situation with a grain of salt. Arizona certainly wants the messaging to be that they did everything in their power to keep the Pac12 going. My impression the whole time is AZ wanted out but the ABOR / Crow was going to make it next to impossible until OR...

I dont think any other coach would've done as well as Fisch has in the ongoing process of bringing this program back from the dead. Fisch-great hire. CTL- great hire. Adia Barnes-great hire. I hated the Fisch hire when it was made because his resume suggested to me that he was going to essentially ...

Except they won't be sticking together. Oregon will leave the first chance they get and then we'll be plunged into mediocrity.

Us and ASU need to get out and join the Big 12 ASAP.

ztonyg

Yeah we're fucked We need to get out of the Pac 12 but I don't believe we'll do it because we have a totally inept administration when it comes to athletics. What's worse, is that ASU has an even worse administration which supported Larry Scott way too long and is still looking to keep the PAC toge...

Just got bitch slapped by the B1G don't need to be waiting around just to get bitch slapped by the ACC with them letting us sleep on their floor as they pimp us out on their network (live only on the westcoast/regional).

Saban was an idiot at the end not to put a knee down and run out the clock. Down by 15, 60 yards away, 39 seconds left, 2 & 38 and he takes two timeouts. His quarterback got sacked three times on that drive and almost got a couple of receivers killed. Just admit when you lost and take a knee out of...

Not going to happen. Kings bury is the coach of the team with the best record in the NFL with a GM and owner that love him. If anything the Cardinals will extend his contract.

ztonyg

Well, I believed in Fisch, I gave him a pass on SDSU, but losing to NAU at home is the deathnell of this program. Might as well drop football and bulldoze the stadium. There's no coming back from this. I threw the dice and lost 300 bucks. I've resigned to about 10 years of bad football due to this....

Getting killed by ASU this year.

Seriously by this year's ASU game this team will have no life left in them at all unless something changes and soon.

ztonyg

0-12 for sure I actually about 25% bought into the hope and new coach hype too. Shame on me. We are 2010s Kansas bad. 1980s Oregon State bad. Pre Bill Snyder Kansas State bad. Maybe worse. I've watched more college football the last 3 weeks overall than I have the last 2 or 3 years. That is going t...

We're going to be the next Kansas from 2010 - 2020. 21 wins in 11 seasons.

ztonyg

My wife went to Kansas and for the last several years I thought that they were probably the worst team in the Power 5. We have just taken the crown.

Also I'm surprised that nobody around here mentioned Lance Leipold. He seems like he would've been an improvement over Fisch.

ztonyg

It isn't pessimism. It is realism. There has been so many times over the past 40 years I have bought into the hype surrounding the football team and the majority of those times have ended with disappointing results. I am one of those "wait and see'ers". I acknowledged the good steps Fisch has taken...

The boosters need to throw their weight around and get Robbins out of the AD. He's single handedly destroying the department.

ztonyg

I'm not at the Go Devils point yet but I've totally written off the FB and BB programs for the next 5-10 years or so. I also won't purchase any U of A (I will NOT do the stupid UArizona) merchandise until Robbins and Heeke are gone. One would think that the boosters wouldn't let Robbins run the AD i...

ztonyg

I'd only rank Washington State and Utah below us (although Washington State seems to have a track record of producing really good NFL players). I would love to have a Washington State type of program. Mike Price took them to 2 Rose Bowls, and Mike Leach took them to bowl games in 6 of his 8 seasons...

We're Arizona, not Alabama. The Tide is signing 20 of ESPN's top 300 players this year alone. Has Arizona even signed 20 top 300 players in the past 20 years combined? While there might be a random year we have our best class ever, and USC has their worst, we're not going to out recruit SC. Yet, we...

ztonyg

The UofA is not even a top-50 football program, so I don't know why so many are against this hire? Three of the last four coaches had been fired. We got a guy who is excited and hungry, something we wanted in a coach. I believe he is going to work his butt off. I also like how he is opening the doo...

ztonyg

So our "esteemed" University President overruled the AD who wanted to hire a guy who just went undefeated, and won a conference championship with a bunch of underrecruited guys, taking it to Boise St. in the Conference Championship game, for a guy who is an NFL QB Coach on a team that has a cumulat...

ztonyg

My buddy texted me. He’s my source for inside the AD news and a mid-level booster. He’s buddies with some other boosters. Their text chain last night featured screenshots of emails canceling monthly donations/season tickets and a lot of talk about how the well is dry until Robbins is gone. Nothing ...

ztonyg

Are y'all being serious or y'all just dont know who would want to be UA assistant under Fisch? I don't know who would want to be an assistant under Fisch. I sure wouldn't. Anyone whom Arizona isn't a final destination for. Fisch knows 75% of the coaches in football based upon bouncing around all th...

ztonyg

Just like Jets fans cheering for them to go 0-16, the worse a disaster this is, (hopefully) the sooner Robbins is gone and we can reboot the program and save our university. Robbins is destroying Arizona in so many ways and I can't wait to be free of his cancer Between the AD and that Zovio / Ashfo...

Is it surprising to see Scheer trying to spin this as good? Jesus Christ what a farse. Jed is a cuck of a hire. Fucking clown car of a football program. Needs sources inside the program I guess. Him retweeting this is just ridiculous, absent any context https://twitter.com/daviddavidwoods/status/13...

ztonyg

I going to laugh if Jedd Firch actaully turn around this football program to a point where all of you need to just shut up and let the process play out and see how he fare's. The moment he gets a better offer from pretty much anyone he's gone. I doubt he'll even be here long enough to turn anything...

ztonyg

Did he turn us down? It would make me feel a tiny bit better if he and all the other coaches turned us down and we had no choice but to... Strike that. This is Arizona football. I should know better. Based upon his resume he'll only be here 1 or 2 years win or lose. Hopefully by then we'll have a n...

ztonyg

Not that you guys care too much what I think but I liked him the one year he was at UCLA. Some fans wanted him to get the job before Kelly came into the picture. I think he'll be better than Brennan would have been, but I agree with most of the sentiment that he really shouldnt have been a candidat...

ztonyg

It's a terrible hire. Basically Robbins hired him over the AD's head to screw with the AD. If he does well, Robbins will take credit for this. If he fails, he'll blame Heeke and Heeke will be fired. I'd take Stoops or Rich Rod 100 times over this guy.

ztonyg

Someone on wikipedia has a sense of humor: https://i.postimg.cc/8ff94xfG/Fisch.jpg Honestly I am not impressed with this hire at all. His resume speaks to me as someone who has commitment issues. As the QB coach of New England this year he did a terrible job as Cam Newton has been pretty awful (only...

No duo is more iconic than Sumlin and mismanaging QBs. This is the guy that had both Kyler Murray AND Kyle Allen and ended up with neither of them in less than a year. Kliff Kingsbury comes close. He chased Baker Mayfield, Michael Brewer, and Davis Webb out of town (although he got saved by Patrick...

If we're going to bring back someone I'd honestly bring back Mike Stoops except pair him with a decent offensive coordinator. The Stoops / Dykes combo worked out well in the past. Not that I want to bring back Stoops. What about Mark Stoops? Now your talking why hasnt he been consider for the UA HC...

We've just become the Kansas of the Pac-12. There's not a lot to like here. RichRod was our Mangino (without the oversize gut). Ken H is going to be like Turner Gill and go 5-19 over 2 seasons. Unfortunately, unlike Kansas our basketball program could also be imploding at the same time. Every time ...

Raise your hand if you thought RR and Mike Stoops where good hires at the start. Ha. I was open to Stoops (because anything was better than the dumpster fire that Mackovic left in his wake). RR was at least a very successful coach at West Virginia even though his Michigan tenure was an abject failu...

This "possible" hire is awful.

Heeke seems to like hiring guys from service academies. John Bonamego's last college job was an assistant at Army (of course he was also an alum).

I'd take Stoops back over this hire.

splitsecond wrote:Cany we hire Todd Graham for ultimate revenge?

I'd be okay with that. He's probably the best coach that we could get, has contacts throughout the region, and it would be revenge on ASU.

He also understands rivalry games. I actually have Graham at the top of my (realistic) list.

ztonyg

So much for me is can he recruit effectively at Arizona. Every new coach at every new program typically does well, because there's a hype and a selling point of "we're new, we're up and coming, we're going to win, come be part of something big," and at this point RR is well beyond that and his rece...

That's some pretty strong language to call them garbage. I think Dawkins is an outstanding athlete and one of the most dynamic ball carriers in the country. He has tremendous speed. I agree his passing ability is substandard. But I think Arizona's poor passing game can be blamed on a variety of fac...
