You think the ‘SC, much, tOSU, ND, etc etc are gonna agree to profit sharing? Pass me some of what your smoking… No, I suspect that the Big 2 conferences will never agree to profit sharing, and I don't think that there is much hope of getting a law through Congress to force it. As a result I am ver...

I listen to a Show called "Full Ride" on XM sports. This morning Rick Neuheisel was relating how much money players are being paid and threw a figure out of 10 million for a good QB. If this continues unabated, we're done even hoping to compete. I'm thinking there has to be some kind of profit shar...

I think it's important to understand just how much the college sports world has flipped upside down. With NIL and the transfer portal, it's no longer the traditional model of hiring a coach based on what you think he may eventually be able to build up to "someday" and try to sell that promise on cr...

Personally, I don't want it enough to contribute any more than I currently do, which is go to a home game or two a year, watch most of the games, and pony up about $700/year to host and maintain this site. If the expectation is to pony up $$$, nah, I'm good. Unfortunately, thats part of the problem...

DMJ you have a valid point but this team is not only losing, we're getting blown off the field by bad teams. This offense has a bad scheme and is not being coached well. Brennan has failed by any reasonable measure. That being said, we probably need to keep Brent, contingent on him firing Babers at...

I must have missed in the fine print of Brennan’s $2.7M salary that he also earned regular testicle tongue baths from you dmj. What a perk! I mean, all that and not being held responsible for our utter failure on the field and future failure on the recruiting trail?? I’ll take that job any day! Alt...

We’re going to have some fun revisiting this when your boy’s class shows up on campus and where it ends up being ranked if he’s retained.

Fisch took over a team that was 0-5 and in the midst of a 15 game losing streak. Brennan took over a team that was ranked 11th.

It took Jebb 3 seasons to get good. I’m not saying anything people don’t know, but this is the problem with Arizona football. Three years goes by. If he sucks, he sucks and is finally fired after three bad years. If he’s good, we probably get one good year and he’s hired away. But how do you create...

It’s the year 2029.

I like CBB as a person, and I like how he made efforts to bring back traditions from Tomey, genuine or not I like it. But CFB landscape has changed drastically.

We're 3-6. Sumlin's first season here he was 5-7. We won't match that. Brent needs to fire Babers right now. It can't get worse. This is almost rock bottom. We'll reach it at the end when we're 3-9 after ASSU beats the shit out of us. That might satisfy the folks with pitchforks and torches (most o...

Nothing wrong with the UA football program that 25-30 Million $$$/year of NIL can't fix.

Disagree. It most certainly is.

Again, they have beaten us (badly) on both LOS. Thats the primary reason we are losing. Thats a talent issue......period.

I am very willing to admit this team isn't as talented as last years. Why is it so hard for you to admit most of our coaching staff has their heads shoved up their own asses?

We agree to disagree.

So then why did the coaches after realizing our talent deficit not adjust their gameplan to cover up those weaknesses? LOL, there is NO gameplan for covering up a fundamental lack of talent UCF's gameplay sure seems to be working. Against a decimated UA defense with 2/11 starters from last years te...

You can thank the new transfer rules/NIL for that.

10 years ago when a coach left the vast majority of the players stayed with the team. If you transferred
you had to sit out a year.

UCF. They are winning the battle of the trenches.

That didn't look good.......the UCF defensive line COMPLETELY dominated the UA OL in that series

In basketball you can change the entire trajectory of your team with one player. In football it’s probably 3-5 (depending on position). If the transfer market has taught us anything, kids are constantly looking for the best opportunity to showcase themselves. Sitting the bench at Bama, Clemson, SC,...
