On senior night too. You can't support and thank those guys?

Arizona defense can be really bad some times. Well more than sometimes.

Looks like the defense decided to sit out the 2nd half.

Well we're giving up 40 points a game on defense the last 5 games. The fact that we've only given up 14 in 2 1/2 quarters to a conference opponent is a small miracle.

The sunshine and puppies crowd on this board will screech themselves hoarse otherwise, but our defense is as bad as it's ever been.

Yea we just decided not to field a d this half

Except we're getting more takeaways and starting lots of frosh.

Summies tied at 34 with UCLA at the start of 4th quarter.

And giving up dump trucks full of points and offensive yards. But what does that matter right? Who cares if defenses can't do what they're supposed to do by definition.

The lengths that people go to defend the putrid defenses we've had for the last 3+ years is astonishing. It's like Trump supporter level of dedication to avoiding reality.

You are such a buzzkill. They are getting more takeaways (an improvement) and starting frosh (who will improve). Not sure why you keep up this glass half empty bullshit.

Everyone talks about fan experience, start time, atmosphere, etc.... Simple question: are ticket prices too high? Have they priced themselves out of the market? Tucson isn't exactly booming with high paying jobs. Paying for 6, 7, 8 home games is a large chunk of change for some families.

Ticket prices has never been a deciding factor for me. There is a wide range of ticket prices to suit a wide range of budgets.

I think that is the determining factor, ticket prices.

There's 20 dollar tickets in the upper deck, 10 for kids.

2 for 1 with a Taco Bell value meal.


Price is not the issue.

I think DFF might be done for the season....took a helmet to the knee while it was straight...

Really? He looked shaken up but seemed able to walk okay to the sideline.

Attendance issues reasons: RR, lack of pre-game atmosphere, lack of transportation, late start times, and the game takes forever...I mean the games last so long now.

Good Jesus is the defense bad.

Dawkins, AKA Wally Pipp, comes in.

What’s up? The sat took a shit during the 3rd and 20 play?

40ish nationally on the metric that matters, yards per play, but worry about overall numbers when we face 100 plays at times. And then yell at everyone else about spin.

Things didn't go the way the anti RR types thought they would. All in on shitcanning RR...now we have a shot at 9 reg season wins in a league where 9 conf games limits OOC scheduling 2/3rds th bowl emigibiloyu. in our reach. The defense in this game is giving up leas than 300 int the 4rh qtr? And they have pur two scores...really 3...up in garbage time?

They converted a fourth and twelve.

Good job guys! Way to represent on Senior Night......just hope no injuries as we have a really tough next 3 games!

Do you know our bowl opponent already?

Scummies down 10 with 5 mins left.

Maybe he thinks we get better recruits if we lose lots - like the Sixers. That so-called sixers fan that hates on McConnell because T.J. is a winner when it is the sixers plan to lose is understandable - at least he has an obvious agenda.

Nobody, including me, would ever say Arizona has a national championship calibre defense this year, but at no time has OSU looked like a threat to get back into this game.

That's not the point. Again, you're making excuses for awful performance. Who cares if they can get back in the game or not, our defense has been terrible for years now and and it's unacceptable.

My agenda is this:. Let's get a good defense that can help win us games.

Yet somehow that's deemed as a bad agenda to have on this board.

Butterfingers Poindexter

28 points and 300 yards of offense to Oregon State in the 2nd half

Nice pick

There's the rushing record

A nice easy win and Tempe lost. Next week is good because of the start time but playing a team off a bye sucks.

Agree but it should be a good game. We'll have to win another shootout with our defense, but Oregon has lost 4 of 5 with 3 being blowouts.

Eh...how is that the "metric that matters" and other metrics don't mean a thing? What about points per game? Doesn't that metric matter? Our D is 99th (tied for 99th) in how
many points they give up per game. You're accusing someone of spin but ignoring other stats and only touting the stat you prefer as the one "that matters" is spin as well.

It IS possible to do all of these things:
1. Think, particularly at the start of the season/early in season) that RR should probably get fired
2. Enjoy Tate and the offense winning us games
3. Also state that the D isn't good, and not enjoy watching the D give up huge plays/drives/scores.

Not everything is polar, one or the other, on/off, yes/no.

This is literally all I've done this season and have been my very obvious views, yet people cannot tolerate any dissent with anything to do with RR. If you are unsatisfied with anything then you're a bad fan.
