NCAA Football '11-'12

[MadImmortalMan]

In five years, Meyer will be coaching at Arizona State, happily running a spreadtard offense against RichRod's Wildcats.

Some of my friends are wildly optimistic about the Meyer pick. We'll see...

Ok, I am over last week.  This is UWyo vs Colorado State week, playing for the Bronze Boot.  Wyoming needs to get things done and finish 8-4, not make CSU's pathetic year.  CSU is all that is bad about football, they are Aggies at heart and Greenies to the core.  Wyoming, the beacon of all that is pure and right will have to smite them.

(oh God I hope so)

I think he is a great catch for OSU, but that OSU is a crappy catch for him.  He'll be under the same pressures that drove him out at Florida, but without the recruiting base he had down south.  I don't see him lasting.

The spread run that Meyer runs isn't something that once you "figure it out" it's just totally going to collapse. With the right O-line and good running backs you can move the football against anyone with it. Success isn't based on your offense being surprising.

LSU runs a very straight forward, ho-hum rush heavy offense that focuses on pounding the ball and then throwing PA to keep the defense honest. When you have the right amount of talent all you need is some degree of consistency in moving the ball on the ground and you don't have to worry about the rest.

The key is to have a good defense to go along with it, which LSU has. If Meyer has a decent defense all he needs is a viable offense that is consistent and he'll win most of his games every year, just like Tressel did.

That was a great rumor while it lasted!

The real issue is he can't handle losing.  When he already feels like shit about losing, and someone gets on his case about losing, the result is ugly for everyone.

He doesn't lose often, to be sure.  He's not going to win ten games next year, though.  Probably seven or eight.

Greenies?

Greenies are unreconstructed Coloradans.

Greenies are unreconstructed Coloradans.

I am ignorant in the ways of the perfidious Coloradans, what sins have they committed that necessitates their reconstruction?

Meyer's success or lack thereof the next few years are going to depend more on what sanctions Ohio State ultimately ends up getting than on anything else.

You don't understand anything about college football, do you?

talent being equal, some offenses are simply easier to defend than others. myers brand of wing t does not do well once its been figured out

Just heard on the radio that Washington State is going to offer their HC job to Mike Leach and he is going to accept.

Fantastic move by the Coogs.

[Berkut]

I am just glad he didn't got to ASU, which I was worried about.

I think it will be cool having Leach in the Pac-12. I think he wanted the Arizona job bad though.

Pullman. Uggh.
