Game #3 vs NAU Lumberjacks discussion thread

[ANGCatFan]

AZDS with 3 key to the games. The actor this week with a Flagstaff connection is Ted Danson who grew up in Flagstaff.

My prime interest in Ted Danson is that he will be in season 2 of Fargo.



Along with Kirsten Dunst.

Kickoff forecast: 83* and muggy-for-Tucson at 50% humidity.

About a 50% chance of raining on your tailgate around 6pm.

Well, there's some small differences. Anu was in the program for a year already when he started as a RS Freshman. Rosen just got on campus in the spring and is a true freshman. Then just take the schedule. Rosen faced tougher teams than Anu.

Anu's first 3
UNLV
UTSA
Nevada

Rosen's first 3

Virginia
UNLV
BYU

It's fun to talk about though, isn't it?

True, but FFS, ESPN was picking him in top 5 lists for Heisman candidates after 2 weeks. Clearly, he's going to go through growing pains. 3 picks, 2 of which were in the red-zone is pretty poor decision-making. He'll grow and get better I'd assume. We'll see how he handles conference play next week.
