time to reboot the tried and true it must be football season thread. this year though, I think we should up the ante.

we'll start with normal rules...pick your player, post some stats after each game

but given 2020 is such a different season and pushing forward with a game during a pandemic means a real assessment of what we prioritize. I think we should make things a bit more fun:

 - if your adoptee contracts COVID-19 during the season you make a $1000 donation to the Mean Green Scholarship fund
 - if your adoptee contracts COVID-19 during the season and requires a respirator, it's $5000 to the World Health Organization
 - if your adoptee dies of COVID-19 during the season, $10,000 to their family and toward their funeral and final expenses

I've had Deion Hair-Griffen since he arrived on campus so I'll stick with him.

Last year was probably the biggest disappointment I've ever had in terms of production from my adopted player (outside of that ACU game... boy did he kill it in that game!).     Rico, best of luck to you in the future.

Now that it's a new season, I'll stay in the WR room & go for a guy I'm expecting to break out this year:

Don’t switch horses mid stream I guess so sticking with Jo Jo

 

I think he is the last McCarney recruit too. Not saying that is a bad thing. I felt the same about the last Dodge recruit. I think it was Marcus Smith but I may have just forgotten who it actually was. I knew at the time. It’s kind of a neat nostalgia to me.

If he is still available......

I select Oscar Adaway III with my first round pick.

Since I first saw his high school highlights, I thought this guy will be a beast for us one day. Well, I think this season will be his coming out party.

Yes I think both were grey shirts. I really thought Jo was a marginal recruit but he is having a nice career here even if not a star. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of the young guys pushes him out or eats up a lot of his playing time. But we don’t abandon our kids, right. Plus he has a lot of experience out there and there is something to be said for a crafty veteran. 
 

I can also pull a Lifer and just claim a few extra guys later too! 😉

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      the UNI game was a 9 point game with 3:30 to play. 57-48. we shut them out from there to push it to 20, but at no point short of the last minute or so was it even possible to clear the bench. everybody needs stop over-analyzing tonight's loss. it was a toss up...they made a few more plays than we did. play the game ten times and it's 5/5 with a top 30 team that might sneak into the top 25 by Christmas.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

      oh no...a downvote. articulate a half-decent opinion or go the eff away. I swear actually having a winning program has made this board worse.
