I wish it was that easy, but Brennan is just not that guy. You can't just hire a couple of assistants and retool a few things and !Voila! your Jedd 2.0. To do so is underselling Jedd's natural talents and his understanding of program building and recruiting. There's a reason why the term 'ceiling' ...

Something I've wondered all along, was the idea of hiring legacy coaches like Babers his idea or was he nudged into it? I don't think firing BB after one year would show up very well for us but changing offensive coordinators and changing systems would. This year is a loss and we have to deal with i...

tgrumpy2

He could just be saying that to protect Babers. Either way I don't care as long as Adkins keeps calling the plays. The offense will smooth out over time. I don't think Coach Brennan would embarass a coach in public. I definitely think Babers was just demoted. I wouldn't be surprised to see him reti...

Anything you'd like to say now?
Fuck yeah!!! I'm a dick with no faith! Give me a huge slice of humble pie with lots of crow!

But our guys are fabulous!!!

I would say almost everyone in here thought the same thing you did. We just didn't say it out loud. lol

I do declare. I believe someone in that bye week got a talkin to. This is the team we were hoping we'd have. Now let's hope they don't backslide. I'm pretty sure Utah got more yardage and had more time of possession but we still beat them up. Not many teams can go into SLC and play those guys and co...

Seem to recall it was payback for Whittington running up the score the season before. https://twitter.com/WestCoastCFB/status/1838292562425319609 It was more about Utah acting like they could still win the game. Going for a two point conversion after a late 4th quarter touchdown and then trying an ...

tgrumpy2

I don't think anyone is down on this team. The issue is we know what this team is capable of and we aren't seeing it. The penalties and poor execution are observations that are visible to anyone that watches them. Those issues are coaching issues. Coach Brennan even acknowledged that in the post gam...

tgrumpy2

NFL quality linemen that suddenly can't figure out who to block, receivers that can't get separation, receivers that aren't blocking anyone. Stupid stupid drive killing penalties. There honestly seems to be no imagination in the offense. Defensively the line doesn't seem to know what to do. Undiscip...

Just a pathetic effort. Get rid of him.

I pretty much have to agree with you.

Quiet summer for ASU getting ready for the season. I'm used to hearing more hype from Arizona State's week(s) at Camp Tontazona but maybe the local media coverage isn't quite as excited going into the season? What reports I find praise QB Sam Leavitt as a step up for leading the offense. Over the w...

tgrumpy2

Well they don’t make college defenses like the swarm either. Assume Akina will take the sane defensive approach but with no Waldrop or Bruschi I seem to recall that Akina was coaching on the offensive side of the ball during the Desert Swarm years. Rich Ellerson and Larry McDuff were the mastermind...

tgrumpy2

Yea the Block A has been around a long time and it is cool and we should own it but that doesn't mean we can't throw something different out there every now and then. I think they look cool but I wouldn't want it every game. Has anyone asked the team what they think of it? Personally I think their o...

tgrumpy2

I think with this Oline and QB and receiving corps and the what I think are decent running backs we brought in, all Babers has to do is not screw it up.

My son’s best buddy played with him at Colgate. He’s in Europe now. When he gets back I’ll ask if he’s heard of anything about Goss. Interested to hear this because, just to be honest, it's hard to get excited about transfers from places like Colgate and Old Dominion. I feel the same way so I went ...

tgrumpy2

I'm still curious to see how Kayden Luke's career goes. I'm thinking he's going to be a significant contributor at some point, maybe as a linebacker. I'd guess he'll redshirt this year. He’s got great size. He could be a power back in waiting. When I first read he had committed, I looked at his siz...

Tgrumpy should be happy with this news. Still think we grab another back

This makes me as happy as if I had good sense. lol When I read this I did a little happy dance

tgrumpy2

did either of those running backs commit?

This makes me happy. Now have these kids committed or they're here just checking the place out and not committed anywhere?

When do we hear about Badger's decision? Personally I have mixed feelings about him coming here.

tgrumpy2

Who is this running back from Arkansas we have?

tgrumpy2

Don't the recruits announce the commitments themselves? Coaching staffs cannot comment on recruits until the NLI is signed. Even Fisch only tweeted hints and such, never a recruit's name. That may be true, I really don't know. Once they announce we would usually see a picture of them in an Arizona ...

ASSU currently has the number 1 recruiting class in the Big 12. I just don't get it. A disgusting sinking ship of a school with a tradition of cheating and they're currently number 1? Meanwhile we've got a bunch of SJS players and a couple from a lower level of competition? I appreciatevthe guys co...

tgrumpy2

So we've got a back up RB from San Jose State and a redshirt sophomore who has barely played in two years as our primary starters, plus a redshirt freshman, a guy who didn't do much at a NAIA school, and a walk on as our stable of running backs and coaches are telling writers that this is one of ou...

Some of the talking heads are talking about our lack of depth at OL but don't seem to give any attention to our need for a running back. What am I missing here? Talking heads? Sorry, I am not at liberty to discuss that. I think the lack of personnel in the RB room supersedes the lack of depth at OL...

tgrumpy2

You can argue all day long about how to use Speedy. He certainly has his talents but he's going to get dinged up. The other back will also get dinged up. Football is a rough game and if all we have is two running backs, we're in trouble. Someone mentioned something about another back coming this su...

thank you for the info. I appreciate that.

Are you hearing rumors or know something for sure or is this just a feeling?

tgrumpy2

Thank you all for the updates.

tgrumpy2

I think most of us recognize running back as an area of real need. To me the need now is actually scary. I think we have two running backs. Does anyone know of anyone else we're working on getting or are we just sitting around hoping?

tgrumpy2

I know with all of the comings and goings of players with the transfer portal its difficult to keep an updated roster. I don't even know who is in charge of that. Has it calmed down enough now to update the roster.

tgrumpy2

Old Jedd said they would do a 30/30 on the 22 class and they still might do that but before that we have this, which is cool The 22 class is already legendary. Choosing to stay and be loyal to each other over the bag. Fishy is right. They will deserve a 30/30 when they put their final stamp on this...

tgrumpy2

We also lost a couple of really good running backs to the NFL. I would like to see us replace one at least. Preferably a combination of the two. A big power runner with speed and some twtich that can catch passes. I know its asking a lot but fingers are crossed and I'm keeping the faith.

What position does he play?

tgrumpy2

I am betting the minor procedure he had was those metatarsals were pinned to make sure they fuse and heal. The pins usually come out in about four weeks or so in the doctor's office. If the bones don't fuse and you get a non union it becomes a chronic problem.

Dude stfu about the media. No one else wants to join you on your delusional crusade. Chief/Ghost is wannabe head football coach who will never be one.

Knee is an issue. Got it scraped. Brennan says he should be ready by game 1. We will know at the opening of fall camp if that is possible.

He was a walk on and later was rewarded a scholarship. That’s exactly how it is done. You don’t take a LS in the portal. Show me any other P4 program doing that? Are there any?
