Oso planning to go pro
He will be good but the SEC West will make him look bad. Bad loss for Oregon. PAC 12 has really fallen off.
I don't know Pat Fitzgerald, but indications are he's a good guy, and he has been a decent coach.But he embarrassed himself this past week, refusing to name a starting QB because he thought being mysterious gave his team some kind of advantage.He ended up playing both QBs -- the starter was mediocre and then got hurt; the 5-star transfer sucked -- and Northwestern had just about no offense at all in getting beaten by a middle-of-the-pack team from a bad conference.Refusing to name the starting QB ... that's high school crap. Fitting that his offense played like a high school team.
Living in a sea of U Dubbers gives interesting perspective on just how bad things are in the Pac 12:- The Loss cements the view that Cristobal is a great positions coach but a terrible head coach: the man does not know how to manage a game- Phil Knight was on the sideline last night and the look on his face was not one of joy- USC's struggles means more LA talent will come north to Eugene and Seattle- Utah football follows the Majerus model by feasting on CA players- Pullman Air Raid success sets up the Apple Cup as a prime time Thanksgiving contest - USC being down is worse than Ohio or Alabama being down - the lack of quality depth is magnified- Sorry Huskies: Look where all the 4 and 5 stars from CA are actually headed: the Big 10 and SEC- When does USC hire Urban?_ Who gets fired first: Helton, Swann, or Larry Scott?
Not exactly unprecedented.Doug Pedersen did it last year.https://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/sports/national/pederson-refuses-to-name-starting-quarterback/article_7e2d1567-7fcc-53e1-a61b-c30e0247a99f.htmlNick Saban did it last yearhttps://deadspin.com/nick-saban-still-wont-clear-up-his-starting-quarterback-1828634780And in 2016https://tide1009.com/alabama-qb-battle-narrowed-down-to-2-heading-into-usc-game/Mike Gundy did it this year.http://studentunionsports.com/college-football/oklahoma-state-refuses-to-name-starting-quarterback/kmeltonDirk Koetter did is last year.https://sportsnaut.com/2018/09/buccaneers-refuse-to-name-starting-qb-for-week-4/I'd imagine there are plenty of other instances.That said, it seems Fitz and his coaching staff left their huevos in the Evanston. Some truly head-scratching, ultraconservative playcalls on offense, not the least of which was a QB draw on 3rd and 16 on the NU 44 with three minutes to play. Pretty much handed Stanford the game right there.

Our baby shower is tomorrow. I know I married well when the baby shower is going to smoothly transition into a TAMU/Clemson viewing party.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Are they moving the New Mexico State @ Alabama game to a place unaffected by the hurricane?
Dude seriously. We all know what happened here. Be smart.
