NCAA football, 2013-14

Eh heh heh heh I found video from overhead instead of a gif.  I know he was trying to get out of the way of the OL that's coming down the field and is going to murder him if he doesn't move, but it still looks like he was taking a pretty good angle on Hall to get the tackle.

Well, that is why they moved the U to the offensive backfield in the NFL. I've been surprised that college has not followed suit.

Mike Leach to Paul Petrino:



(Leach put his starters back in at the end of the game when Idaho was inside the 10 to preserve the shutout, Paul wasn't happy)

Well, that is why they moved the U to the offensive backfield in the NFL. I've been surprised that college has not followed suit.

It's been that way in the NFL for, what, two-three years now?  It really seems to be working out nicely.  I remember there were some stats I was looking at prior to that change showing injuries to officials in the NFL, and I was kind of surprised (then wasn't so surprised when I thought about it) at the numbers.  I don't know where I got them from, etc, but it would be interesting to know if the number of injuries had gone down.  I know it's still going to happen occasionally, but not having an unprotected dude out there right in the middle of all the shit has to help things, right?

[Berkut]

I am so glad we got RichRod instead of Leach...

[Ed Anger]

Mike Leach.

[grumbler]

Leach is pulling the kind of shit that comes back to haunt.  Ask Woody about going for two when ahead 50-14! 

[Berkut]

Yeah, if Arizona had hired Leach, I imagine I would be a Leach fan, but I would much rather go the high road than the low.

Leach is perfect for WSU. I am just glad he didn't go to ASU, since he does the low road very well. Much better to have ASU have a coach who is bad at doing it than one that is good at it.

Putting in your starters to preserve a shut out is hardly the same thing.

Besides this was not some conference rival but Idaho.  Meh.

[Admiral Yi]

Idaho couldn't even manage a field goal from the 10?

I side with preserving the shut out.

Yeah.  Even Wyoming beat Idaho.

One never quite knows what direction a press conference with Washington State head coach Mike Leach is going to go in.


On Monday, after fielding a few run-of-the-mill questions concerning the Cougars' previous game, their next game and how he thinks certain players are performing, Leach was asked about ... first date advice in Pullman, Wash. Which he was happy to weigh in on.

"Try to have somewhere where there's not salad, because girls will try to show off and act like all they eat is salad, so try to put them somewhere where they're in a position where they have to put real food in their mouth," Leach told those gathered, according to The Spokesman-Review. "Because if you can make her eat she'll talk. Other than that it's all this pretention and stuff like that.



"The key thing is make her eat, then she'll relax, then there'll be some dialogue and you can get to know her and see if you're interested in dating her beyond dinner."

It was the same mantra he offered a Texas Tech freshman when asked a similar question five years ago.

Leach then recalled taking his wife to A&W on their first date and using a 2-for-1 coupon book for it, which he recommended for others:


"It worked for me. You'll cut the weak out of the lineup right away if you do it that way. You'll only be involved with committed people if they're going to do the coupon book. It doesn't hurt. If you're just trying to dress your life up a little and pretend you have a relationship, then maybe you don't want to use the coupon book if it's some kind of a volume deal.

"But if you want to zero in on one or two, break out the coupon book, saw off the weak right off the top so you can get down the path to find the right one. It's worked out pretty good, because I've been married ... I can't remember, a long time. Thirty years or something."

Why a television producer hasn't thought to feature Leach in a dating advice show is beyond us.

Yeah, that shit was a punk move.  Much more satisfying doing it the Bobby Bowden way:  "not my fault your 1st stringers can't do anything against my 3rd stringers"

[PDH]

Idaho's 1st stringers put up 10 points on Wyoming's 3rd stringers

[CountDeMoney]

Idaho has a more robust recruiting machine than Wyoming.  But that should change, what with the neato Holstein digital camo unis.

The square camo grey nightmare bullshit unis only come out vs Air Force.  Or maybe if Wyoming goes to the Bell Helicopter Bowl.

This week Wyoming wears white on white.  I long for a nice Brown and Gold uniform this year, what with that being the school colors and all...
