I’ll believe it when I see him on the field… I’m not doing the “will he play” or “won’t he play” dance we were tortured by last fall…

[NashvilleUte]

We can only hope… rumors are that they should elevate their offense coordinator to head coach though. We’ll see what happens…

Yeti is a bad choice. I get that it’s some kind of snow creature which is cool, but all I think of when I hear the name are all those Yeti water bottles and tumblers. Since not everyone knows what a Yeti really is, in some people’s minds we’d just be the Utah Water Bottles. Maybe a built in sponsorship waiting to happen, but totally not worth it.

Eh… I’m constantly SUPER underwhelmed with what UA brings to the table. Particularly the fan merchandise is absolutely TERRIBLE. It’s a fair point though that it’s hard to say what attention Nike would give us, but I’d be surprised if the results were less than we’re currently getting. Does Adidas have anything in football? I really have no idea… Maybe not them, but there’s got to be another option…

Somewhere I read that the ACC is getting more partially because they’ve had more CFP appearances than the Big12 (minus TX/OK), but I personally suspect it’s to limit the teams pushing to abandon the ACC. Can you imagine the reaction from the ACC teams if the Big12 got more? The teams already trying to escape would probably get the needed number of teams to officially cancel the GOR and shut down the conference.

USC put three bullets in the Pac12 before the media nonsense even began.

1) refusing ESPN’s offer to take over the Pac12 network
2) killing the proposal to expand and gut the Big12 after Texas and Oklahoma announced their move to the SEC
3) then leaving for the B1G themselves

There’s a ton of blame to spread around regarding the Pac12’s collapse, but no one has even close to the amount of blame that USC does.

[NashvilleUte]

Agreed. Everything else seems to be a result of NIL and the portal, but the coaching carousel is no different than it was before.

[NashvilleUte]

Of all of the spots a former P5 coach could land, New Mexico is one of the least likely destinations imaginable.

We’ll be there! It’ll be our first game in person in a few years. Can’t freaking wait! The last few Thanksgiving’s we’ve been in town for were road games. It’ll still be a significant game. Our last Pac12 game, our last game against Colorado as our sudo-rivalry game, our first time to beat Dion. A win will also setup a better expectation for our bowl game.
Will be a great game!

WTF? Petco is a very nice baseball stadium, but that would be a terrible place for the Holiday Bowl! The Chargers are gone, the new SDSU stadium is as good as they’re going to get. It’s not perfect, but that’s where the bowl should be. Not Petco Park. Good grief! Besides, Petco’s capacity is only 5,000 more. And they’ll probably lose a good amount of that just to make room for a football field.
