NCAA football, 2013-14

[Ed Anger]

I don't think he'd want to leave that cushy job at Akron.

Considering he'd be subject to extradition, I suppose not.

Willis MacGahee wants to go after his knees.

Hey Valmy, you see that latest thing from Chip Brown?  Apparently Robinson suggested stacking the box against BYU in order to make them throw the football, which....well that makes sense. 

Instead, Diaz went with a 4-2-5.  In order to make them run, I guess??????

Yeah. I was just being silly. I don't think he'd want to leave that cushy job at Akron.

No, I know he wouldn't be the DC and all that, was just wondering if that was still in effect.  He's like...a consultant or something at Akron, isn't he?  There were those weird rumors about him becoming the next president of the university too not that long ago.

Yeah I did hear that.  I mean it was not exactly rocket science, it was the exact same thing Virginia did to beat them.  I have no idea what Manny was thinking, I mean I presume he is not a total idiot.  I just do not get it.

But anyway Manny is gone and we get grumbler's favorite DC of all time as our stop gap guy I guess.

[MadBurgerMaker]

I mean, I know Diaz was prone to trying to be all blitz happy and the D was pretty complicated and all that, but I didn't know he was one of those guys who tries to get all cute like that.  That would really explain a lot though.  If Robinson comes in and just does basic things like "make a team that is kicking your ass on the ground throw the ball instead" I guess I'll be okay with that.  At least he'll be doing something other than BLITZ

E:  I wonder where they're stashing Diaz.  Like if they're having him take over doing the video stuff Robinson was doing, or if he has been reassigned to his couch at home.

Maybe he's been reassigned to cleaning the stadium restrooms.

The same place they stashed David McWilliams and John Mackovic I guess.  I remember Mackovics job was designing Golf Courses.  Considering how things went at Arizona he should have stayed in that position.

David McWilliams and John Mackovic

Ah yes.  The Longhorns coaches of most of my childhood and teenage years (I don't count Akers because I was like 6 when he left).  72-54-2.  Truly a decade of excellence.

[Berkut]

56-35 final (TD pass by both teams after my last post).  UTSA kept going until the end, but couldn't get the onside kick to take some more shots.  There was actually a dude there to recover it, but the ball got snagged by a diving OSU player JUST before it crossed 10 yards and he was able to grab it.

Good:  503 yards of offense.
Bad: 608 yards of offense for the other team.

Does Arizona have any chance against them?

No.  It's going to be a track meet with UTSA as the only participant.

Sheesh, I'm old enough to remember Darrel Royal as the Longhorn's coach.

[Eddie Teach]

I never paid attention to them before Brown.

He'll be your favorite, too, when he breaks out the stuffed animals on the sideline (was he doing that goofy shit in his first stint there?).   It is embarrassing, and the players fucking hate it.

[MadBurgerMaker]

I don't remember him doing that stuffed animal shit at Texas.  I don't give a shit what he does as long as he can get them to play a bit better with whatever super basic D he's going to have to be using.

Nope, he's gonna use super advanced techniques like "stack the box" against the run.

Eh at this point Mack Brown's rebuild project has been a failure.  We need to end this charade and get to the next guy.  So if Robinson is good again that would be great but if he shows up dressed in a bevo costume and dances on the sidline that is fine to.
