2024 Season Thread

UCF viewership numbers are not out yet, but imagine around 300K to start the game, 100K or less at the end. UH game probably 200K.

Well, at least I don't have an U of A football game to compound my despair and depression today!

Thank god for small favors!!

We've gone to one bowl game in 11 years. Sometimes it's hard to be a fan of this shitty program.

Bowl games in 2014, 15, 17, and 23.

Yep, you're right Greg. I stand corrected. 1 bowl game in 7 years..

Fuck.

I thought CBB might have saved his job today when they came back 14-13 and had a lot of momentum, and would have been able to beat ASU.

And I think we can agree if he went 6-6 and went to the Tidy Bowl he deserved another year.

But this has just been a disaster.

The OL actually gave Fifita a lot of time, but some of those play calls were head scratchers. The bubble screens for one. Seemed like it was Mike Canales/Mike Stoops calling those plays.

UA either throws to the line of scrimmage, or 20+ yards downfield. Compare that to the Fisch offense of last season.

Fifita still has to lead the nation in time to throw.

The best part of today's game was when we were on offense and the announcers started talking about Babers. The camera showed him and his mic was up by his ear. Sure didn't look like he was calling plays.

What a fucking horrific season. Why must we, more often than not, suck?

[AZCatGirl]

I remember being at McKale when Fifita, TMac, and all announced they were coming back. Everyone freaked out like we had won the Rose Bowl.

And we fucking waste them on this disaster of a season. I feel so bad that their loyalty was rewarded with shit.

How much is Brennan’s buyout?

[scumdevils86]

I want to say $16 million

[AllHailArizona]

I want to say $16 million

Greg Hansen's article today says $11M.

[Postmaster]

Isn't his buyout whatever his total salary for the contract is?

[Carcassdragger]

From 10-3 and a significant bowl win to 4-8 with many blowout losses to mediocre teams then topped off by getting buttfucked by ASSU on our home field. All despite having a roster with several very good players.

A complete failure by this coaching staff- no matter how you look at it.

And just as noticeable in person, he frequently bypassed an open receiver in favor of another.

And just as noticeable in person, he frequently bypassed an open receiver in favor of another.

Three other things I noticed: He didn't step forward in the pocket near as much, he held onto the ball longer, and accuracy was a problem more often.

I think these things are the result of lack of proper coaching.

The only thing is Andy areas has multiple Super Bowl rings from two teams. While I agree Noah will benefit from a QB/OC, the parallels to the chiefs struggles was eye opening

Alabama-Birmingham, Arizona, Purdue and Southern Mississippi were the only programs nationally to receive a grade of D- from USA Today writer Paul Myerberg in his report card of all 134 Football Bowl Subdivision teams for the 2024 season. Florida State, Kent State and Oklahoma State were the only programs to receive an F grade.

Myerberg explained, "The grades consider overall performance compared to preseason expectations, with added weight given to how a team performs in key games against rivals and other high-profile opponent." Arizona and Florida State are the only teams to receive a grade of D- or F who began the season in the top 25.

Can’t argue with the scum given an A+ or us getting a D-. That might have been to kind for us.

BTW, ASSU will win the BXII Again and reach the CFP next year

How did Utah wind up with a passing grade of C-?
