True. Plus they may be playing for bowl eligibility that game.

It's time for a change. I know it, you know it, and I hope WB knows it. I would have my mind made up if I was the AD, but I'm sure SL will get the chance to finish out the season and if he can get to the CCG/win it he will get a chance to stay.

I think if a player is going to leave, he will leave regardless. Everyone was worried about losing players last year if SL was let go, and we lost players anyway. It's better to let people go who want to, and rebuild with those that want to stay and play for a new coach.

I know this isn't the most important part of your post but technically..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiJ9fy1qSFI&ab_channel=CoolBannanas13579

The ultimate blame lies on those who built this team. Those who recruited/lost recruitment battles, and who coached/developed those players. Losing a game here and there because a player makes a mistake happens, but your overall body of work is made up of what you were able to bring here and how you made it perform on the field.

And that's why CUSA isn't taken seriously.

What I mean is they had the chances, they were up against the wall on many plays including the 3rd and 1 and couldn't get it done. Sometimes you can play poorly but come in clutch to save a drive. This offense can't do it vs. a good defense.

We wasted great field position 2 times and were unable to get anything done. This offense can't come in clutch when they face a stout defense.

I've said it from start 8-4 or cut him loose. It's time, I don't care about the championship game.

Need the offense to come in big now.

We have a bye week IIRC so not fully. Let guys who are banged up recover, but you need to keep guys in playing condition so they would be ready to go in the championship game and not be rusty. But let's win this game first. We need to go show we can win the tough games like this.

I thought it was just jockeying too, but when they showed the replay I thought I saw the receiver hold his hands down and push off when the ball was coming in. They only showed it once and the commentators didn't seem to think anything of it so I don't know.

Was that offensive PI on the play after the sack? I can't remember if that was Texada, but it looked like the receiver held his hands down.

We need defense to shore things up this drive. Offense came through, we need them to get it done on their side of the ball.

I'm surprised we haven't seen Earle yet.

Yes, but for an even more practical reason; to help distinguish the teams. I must imagine the QBs are having to really make sure who's who before they make throws.

Teams really need to get together and work out uniforms better. Why are both teams wearing white helmets? UAB should have their gold helmets on.

I think the Pac will survive in some form, but it will be watered down. The question is how watered down will it be? Just USC/UCLA or will other also leave? I don't see quality replacements left on the level of UCF/Cincy/Houston if they can't get BYU to join. Who can they really pull from? SDSU is not on that level and they are their best choice. I don't see any current or future Big12 members taking that deal. Plus the Big12 payout is huge, something like $80m, the Pac12's is running out in 2025 with no penalty if they leave. As to why it hasn't happened yet conferences need time to crunch the numbers and get their deals in place. No one is going to move without having everything hammered out, they have no urgency to. Honestly if I were BYU I'd want to stick it to the Pac for leaving them out for so many years.

For the reasons stated above I don't see them taking that deal. BYU may have wanted to join the current Pac12 and would do it in a heart beat, but with UCLA/USC leaving the risk is too high that you get stuck in a conference that everyone left. Losing the 4 corner schools is a real possibility, and Oregon/Washington will jump if there is a chance in the B1G10. BYU would get stuck in a MWC+ and that scenario, although far off, is too much of a gamble.

This, why would you want to leave the 3rd strongest conference to go to a place where everyone is looking to bail at the next possible time? You have a much better chance of getting recognition playing against nationally respected names in; TCU, Ok. State, Baylor, Cincy, Houston, UCF than; Oregon, Washington, and Utah. Who's really left in the Pac12 to build upon? Not to even mention basketball.

With the deal the Big12 got vs what they Pac12 is likely to get I think they made the right choice.

I don't see how UA, ASU, CO, and Utah stay with the release of how much the Big12 are going to be making (assuming the Big12 wants them.) I think the payout is going to be $50m per school, surprisingly going up even after OU and UT left. The MW or the Pac12 might fall apart if this news is true. Look for the AAC to poach some of those teams like Air Force/Colorado state if things start to move quickly.

Yeah, I think it's a pretty good indicator of the decline in interest over the years.

The's a pretty strange coincidence. The homecoming game pic I posted in the FIU game thread was the game right before this Navy game. I remember we had a really big crowd, which was surprising since we lost that homecoming game and were 1-7.

One thing we do all have to commend is SL knows how to keep his lockeroom united. We were all surprised by the comeback sweep last year and the refocus after OOC this year. We've all seen how teams give up and quit many times here, so outside of whatever happens the rest of this season I have to tip my hat to him and his staff for that.
