Well, Ace Journeyman passed up an opportunity to coach a PAC-10 team (Oregon State), so the entire, mutha-fuckin' PAC-1o came to him! Tired of all the wannabe Ivy League egg-heads, the wondrous West Coast Conference has booted Stanford and replaced them with...Utah! That's right, folks, the Utes are in a BCS conference. And, the schedule looks TOUGH. Utah inherits Stanford's game with Notre Dame for some reason, and rounds out their non-conf. slate with their Holy War rivals, BYU and Utah State. Everyone else is a real-live, BCS-conference foe. No Div 1-AA (I refuse to use FCS) cup-cakes, no WAC walkthroughs or road trips to 12,00 seat stadiums. We're with the big boys now and I have a feeling we are going to have a rough go of things. On a side note, Journeyman has turned California into a pipeline state for Utah recruiting. That might help. Maybe. Truthfully, Ace still holds out a dream to coach at his alma mater, but the challenge now is to turn Utah into a BCS competitor.
Good luck in the Pac-10. Hope you got some speed to match up withe them west coast boys.
ReplyDeleteUSC p'wned me. nastily.
ReplyDeleteUSER TBlake had several fortuitous events take place to beat Florida this year.
ReplyDeleteEvery time UGA went down by a touchdown, who knew that, in response, Urban Meyer would have QB#14 snap the ball and run into the end zone and fall down?
That happened quite a few times, as did the 26 offsides penalties FL incurred through the course of the game. QB#14 has quite the hard count, apparently.
Very provocative strategy on Meyer's Part. Too bad it didn't work UGA 22; FL 21.
