I feel slightly better about our game against them after seeing everyone else do much worse.

It's clear they were looking past use.

You won't bring me down greg!!

Asu is on their 3rd string qb but is winning

And asu wins

Mora has checked out. I half expect him to take an NFL analyst job next year.

Colorado is roughing up assu

I knew ASU was in for a rough night. All this week the Phoenix media has been touting their Rose Bowl chances.

How odd is it that the 4 favorites for winning the divisions are Washington, Washington St, Colorado and Utah?

Does UCLA keep Rosen on the bench when he is healthy? Mike Fafaul is looking really good today against Utah.

Colorado beat Stanford 10-5. Well their goes our confidence against Stanford next week.

No. It just took them 7 games to realize that that we really dont have any running game. Unless all of those INTs are attractive

Of course this will change when they play UA.

It was pretty obvious ASu was gonna smoke the cougs after the Pirate's comments. you don't attack an opposing team's character before you play them at their place. that's just dumb

In his defense FightWildcatsFight never said what kind of "Character" asu has. Adolph Hitler and Charles Manson were both "Characters"

Glad to be wrong.

That game was less than three hours long. Heaven.

Nice to see the scummies sharing our football pain.

Hate to say it but I agree with Graham here. Cracker's gonna look like the bad guy after this exchange gets passed around a bit but Leach did him dirty without any evidence of actual wrongdoing.

Who would've thought that the 4 top teams in the league this year would be Washington (#4 now), Utah (#17 now), Colorado (#23 now) and Washington state (#26/1st in the receiving votes category). Oregon is on track to have its first losing season since 2004 and its worst overall season in 25 years, we suck, and USC, Stanford and UCLA will probably all be 5-7 win teams that may or may not go bowling.

CU and WSU were complete dumpster fires when their coaches were hired, and Utah has inherent disadvantages against every other team in the conference save WSU. Hell, even Sonny Dykes has Cal on an upswing with the program getting better each year.

Granted, this is one season, and the conference overall is the wort it has been that I can remember... but I really hope the excuses about our 'inherent disadvantages preventing us from being competitive in the PAC' (weather, recruiting base, no indoor practice facility) get put to rest. The excuses are tired.

Not sure how any teams winning 6-7 games will miss bowl eligibility, especially 3 high profile programs, but it really does not matter. Mora and RR are looking like the runts of the "new coaches hired since 2012" litter. Helton is on his way to joining them, with Helfrich not far behind - although making the playoff does give him some extra wiggle room.

Been a while, but Mike Price took the Cougs to 2 Rose Bowls with the worst facilities, worst climate and no hotties like the CA and AZ schools. That was an impressive coaching achievement, keeping those Palouse QBs home.

The rate they are going there's no guarantee that usc, Stanford or ucla will be bowling.

Went to the Utah-UW game today. Rice-Eccles is awesome. Great, great crowd there.

Happens when you have a good program and a good coach who builds and gets you competitive each year and doesn't recruit MWC level athletes and expect PAC 12 results

Are you talking about Utah or Washington? If Utah...well they still recruit mwc level players.

That is true, but Utah would be infinitely more difficult to recruit to than UA. We have some challenges, but theirs are Herculean in comparison.

Unless you are Mormon, esp. one returning from a mission.

Penguin do you live in SLC? Or just in town visiting?

Was just in town visiting. A guy I know had an extra ticket to the game and since I was in town, I couldn't pass it up. I was sitting (well, actually standing, no one sits there) in the MUSS. My ears are still ringing. It was awesome.

Josh Rosen out the rest of the year.

That's awesome. The MUSS is pretty good, like the zoo was back around 2008-2010. Hope you enjoyed your entire visit, it's a pretty nice city.

Brutal. The team is in free fall mode at this point. Mora wants to bail but the results aren't there

If true, holy fuck.

Chip Kelly!

14-0 Stanford over a 3-6 Oregon team. Kinda makes you think doesn't it?

Whoops Utah. The south is Colorado's to lose and the north is Washington state's to lose.

Great game on the Hill!

ASUHATER! wrote:Whoops Utah. The south is Colorado's to lose and the north is Washington state's to lose.

True but lose today or next week and USC owns the tie breaker with CU

Man, i have been dismissing CU for the last 10 games because they are a team with 19 returning starters and thought Mac was somewhat of mediocre coach, but damn they are putting together one hell of a season. Then I start looking at their recruiting at they are 17th and they arent the fools gold top 20 like Arizona. Buffs could be scary.

Yep, we went for flash and dash ( except he couldn't dash) and they went for a solid guy who rebuilt freaking San Jose St

Must be nice to be ranked #10, have a stadium full of roaring fans and grown up uniforms. Big game. Got it done. Impressive.

Seriously. I was born and raised in Tucson and now live in Denver, CU should be a top 25 program. Their campus is beautiful, women are just as beautiful as Arizona and have a program that seems to be more than a flash in the pan now. What could have been...

Wow Washington. Nice work.

UW 45, Wazzu (#23) 17 @ Wazzu

So will the P12 Championship be the Neuheisel Bowl... or the Sarkisian Bowl?

Get 'er done, Buffs...

Mora is an embarrasment this year

If Helfrich isn't actually fired then RR, Graham, Mora, Helfrich and Dykes will all be on pretty warm to firey hot seats next year.

Yes Helfrich has had a truly horrible year, but firing him will set the program further back. Schools like Auburn, Alabama, Florida St, etc can get away with firing a coach two years removed from a Playoff/top 5 finish, but Oregon doing so sets the program back and temporarily kills their marketability. Let Helfrich on another year, at the least to whittle down his buyout and avoid looking so reactionary.

Even if you can throw the bank at a guy like Jon Gruden? I feel like Oregon has the resources and recruiting history/current talent to weather a coaching change in the same way UCLA did.
