This belongs in the football forum, but ultimately it belongs in the Fire Larry Scott thread. Unreal interference and typical bullshit Larry Scott dissembling about it. https://sports.yahoo.com/yahoo-sports-exclusive-document-shows-untrained-third-party-overruled-targeting-call-pac-12-game-040318946...

Just bought a ticket. Probably in a awful location, but what the hell. Ride or die.

I was a California student who was in Tucson for a grand total of 4 years. I’m a diehard Arizona football fan. For 11 years while teaching at an architecture school in Dubai I stayed up all or most of the night so I could watch games just to go teach the next morning on 0-3 hours of sleep. Anecdotes...

Or hear me out . . . You’ve already found yourselves? :ugeek: Please don’t “find yourselves” . . . we need the UCLA ineptitude to remind us that things could always be worse. And you guys get to comfort yourselves with the fact that your players can still beat ours in a competitive game of Scrabble.

Haha, change that . . . you guys aren’t eeyores. I don’t think Eeyore ever got upset at being called an eeyore. He knew who he was and embraced it. Ya pack of namby-pambies.

In all seriousness, everybody has their own coping mechanism, I get it.

Stanford was overrated. We’ll see by the end of the season, but they are marginally a Top 25 team at best. Love is nowhere near as effective as he was and their defense is not traditional Stanford defense. By transference, Utah is no juggernaut either. But playing on the road is always tough. We hav...

No offense Newport, but between this and your “I’m out” thread . . . your friends sound like douchebags. So as the self-appointed presiding judge, I’m going to have to disallow the use of their anecdotal opinions in the trial of Arizona football.

ByJoveByJingle

The only “good” fans that exist (meaning they show up in lean times) are fans of programs that have built up enough equity by being consistent winners over the years that the fans can feel confident that the losing is a momentary blip. Showing up for a winning team is easy. The only fanbase I can th...

My first season tickets since I was an undergrad a hundred years ago. I’m enjoying myself and the team. Tate issues aside, they play hard and they don’t quit. And when was the last time the defense won us a football game?

BJBJ, that's not it for me. I loved Stoops sideline behavior because in my small mind it showed me he wanted to win and bad. Too me he was fully invested. I am not looking for that behavior as a sign but I have not yet seen or read anything from Sumlin where he hints at a plan for the future. He ki...

There is the faintest whiff of hysteria in this thread. I would sit Tate because he isn’t performing. End of story. These rope-a-dope antics aren’t new. He was doing the Jim Brown thing last year, too. And he did it during the big 5 game Heisman run . . . but nobody seemed to mind much then. As far ...

Well timing the scoring sequence for the convenience of the customers is a tough pull. On the other hand, I remember attending day games in September when I was an undergrad. I suspect that might kill half the geriatric population around me, so I’m not too jazzed about having day games for at least...

I understand the sentiment and sometimes think I’d be just as happy at home watching the game. But you guys are being overreactive drama queens. The product doesn’t suck. Fans of OSU have every right to say that, we don’t. Obviously the situation is less than optimal right now, but we should have be...

Good god, look at the slant in this ESPN article. Picture of Miller, the bulk of the first part of the article focusing on Arizona based on their shitty investigative work followed up by far more substantiated and serious allegations of other schools buried farther down in the article. Twitter army,...

Just got back to my Holiday Inn Express...........I don't feel any smarter Observations: 1) For what seems like the 100th year in a row our kicking game stinks 2) Have Mazzone/Sumlin ever heard of a Jumbo package for goal line situations??? Given our small RB's they may want to consider adding it t...

ASU reminds me of a 7-5 Tomey squad that loses 10-3 in a Freedom Bowl. I say that with equal measures of respect and disgust.

Old Dominion is a house of fire! 0-3 team just upset Virginia Tech.

Definitely makes life more exciting. Just keep the Pepto handy.

ByJoveByJingle

My prescription is a bit of perspective and an even keel. Easier on the heartburn. We were never Pac-12 contenders, Tate was not a Heisman candidate, conversely we weren’t going winless or anywhere close to that.

ByJoveByJingle

Friekh didn’t play against BYU or Houston. Clearly it’s making a difference. Y’all are moving the goalposts. Earlier in the week we couldn’t win another game on the schedule. Now we are upset because hypothetically what is working today won’t work against the heavyweight Pac-12 South. :lol: :roll: ...

Haha, then good thing we won’t be playing any good teams this year. Otherwise we’d lose by a thousand.

ByJoveByJingle

I’ll play Devil’s advocate: 1) Oregon State is marginally a Power 5 school 2) Our defense is no worse than any of the typical RR defenses. In fact, it looks identical to the RR defense, including giving up big plays on 3rd and long. 3) We won a lot of games under RR with those defenses 4) Leaving th...

I was telling a friend after they lost game 2 that we might see a Kelly blowup of some kind. He had easy success at Oregon, then experienced the big-time and cushy life of the NFL without having to deal with recruiting (or parents). How much losing will he be willing and able to endure? Speaking for...

ASU has always had better players than us. Just look at the alumni rolls in the NFL. Herm would be 0-2 if we hired him. And he wouldn’t be able to recruit here either.

ByJoveByJingle

I can’t get over how much better Colorado looks than Arizona. Weren’t they predicted to finish very low in the standings? And yet they have explosive players on both sides of the ball. We don’t have one explosive player. How can the pundits be this pathetically wrong? Do you want to go cheer for Co...

It was all part of the plan!

We gonna miss the RR play calling. That was sad.

ByJoveByJingle

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!

ByJoveByJingle

It’s been since the Mac years that we had this many missed tackles. Not even the RR defenses were this bad. Unreal.

ByJoveByJingle

Well, now we know which part of the cognitive dissonance equation was causing the problem. People who said Rodriguez wasn’t recruiting were right. This is the worst group of athletes at Arizona since Mackovic. And to make matters worse, as bad of a recruiter as RR was, he was equally magical as an O...

ByJoveByJingle

So what I get from that is RR basically recruited pretty well except for punters. Look, I’m not an RR guy, but there is a lot of logical fallacy in play here. Personally, I’m cautiously optimistic because the OKG recruiting level Arizona seems to be stuck with usually means in any 5 year cycle there...

ByJoveByJingle

Yeah, that’s the issue. You either have to be cautiously optimistic at best if you think RR did a terrible job recruiting, or if you are all in on a successful season, you have to believe RR’s recruiting actually wasn’t that bad. I’m not sure how you can be convinced we are gonna challenge for a div...

Football (UofA particularly) fills a small part of the void that is my fairly empty life. So it would be hard to quit. But I totally get where you are coming from.

I think it depends on offensive tempo as much as anything. Our guys couldn’t get off the field on 3rd and 4th downs, but when your offense is playing a million miles an hour it also extends the number of plays a defense has to face every game. I’m hoping for sub-30 points a game, but not holding my ...

I know everyone is enchanted by the prospects of playing “the modern game,” but let’s not forget two things: 1) the traditional game got us a couple of bad breaks away from 2 final fours, 2) Jesse Perry—I feel like people forget how painful it was to continually lose a game of inches (as in height)....

ByJoveByJingle

I went ahead and got section 20 west side for BYU for the two of us. And I also bought section 20 season tix just for myself. So if anybody knows anyone who needs a single ticket for BYU, let me know. I’ll let it go for a bit below list price.

ByJoveByJingle

Yeah the problem for this game was my friend coming to town. I may do season tix for the rest of the year.
