Will Weatherford can't stop smiling.  Oh, and they just mentioned the $25mil donation.

:::looks at oil price:::: you sure about that?

Things can always change, but yes.  Oil prices fluctuate wildly all the time.  And we are producing more oil in the United States than we ever have.  Meanwhile our cars get less reliant on oil every year.  So yeah.

Here we go with the vote discussion!

Can you be more specific?

It isn't difficult to see inflation dropping really quickly and understand that rates will drop soon after.  As soon as car prices drop due to the glut of cars on the market we may see bits of deflation.  It isn't rocket surgery.

Where did they get the new arm and how much is it gonna cost us?

TGH threw it in as part of the $25mil.  

Don't ask who's arm it was.

Thanks for the update and all the best for a speedy recovery!

Was Colorado 1 - 11 last year? 

Golesh doesn't have a kid with two years college football starting experience.

Just now, John Lewis said:

He transferred to James Madiosn.

Thanks.

True, CAG even mentioned in the presser about guys getting open.  As for last year, he was real good against Tulsa (real bad defense) and just ok against ucf (better defense).   There was a lot of hype about the kid in the offseason from some folks around here.   Jury is still out, but he's also still young.

He is not even 19 years old yet, crazy as that sounds.  At this age, QF was a miserable failure.  Brown may or may not be "HIM", but he has a ton of poise and a lot of talent given his very young age IMO.

Well at the end of last season Weaver wasn't playing so really he only lost Horn and he was getting like 3 catches a game.  

 Hopefully we see soon Yusef Terry and Michael Brown Stephen  at receiver...that would have to help this group out.

I did not see Dollison on the field yesterday either.

He didn't play well.  I'm sure he will tell you the same thing.   I never said he wont be "ok" or that we won't be "ok", but the passing game was not good yesterday.   I have not forgotten his great game against Tulsa ... hopefully he can do it against teams that play defense as well at some point.

Some of that is on him.  He never looked comfortable back there.

Oddly, all those WRs from last year are gone and he has a whole new group.  I wonder if he suddenly got terrible or if there might be a different reason?  In my opinion, I think it might take some time to get the WR room situated.

This isn't true.  The offensive line was not great overall, but he missed many throws when he did have time, made some really poor decisions, and most importantly turned it over 3 times which killed us.

He ran for 160 yards (great) but 84 of those passing yards came on one play (great pass).

Not going to bury him after one game, but lets not sugar coat things and blame the o-line either.  Hopefully the offense gets in going against the Rattlers next week 

In my opinion, his receivers were not getting open.  Not sure who he was supposed to throw to half the time.

A lot of that was on broken plays and QB scrambles. You can also have an O-Line that can run block but not pass protect. I'm not doom and gloom on this team, we will just have to see drastic improvement as the season progresses. This game was a likely loss regardless. Just stinks to see them play so well for a quarter and then fade away. 

They need to get better against the pass, I think they will with scheme, looking at tape and time working together.  Run blocking is a skill and it was pretty impressive last night if it holds up during the season.

I saw blocking and tying up by the WRs, especially on the WR screens.  It warmed my heart.  I also saw better tackling.  That was what I needed to see.  Now, let's build on it.

Realistic opinions not allowed.  Only doom and gloom opinions.  Please correct this oversight and explain how the new coach will never win a game.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

That about sums it up and was a major concern for me heading into the season. Going to have a lot of 300 yard rushing games.

How can we have a lot of 300 yard rushing games if the OLine stinks?

I am (not suprisingly) going against the doom and gloom opinions of most on this board with my own opinion.

Ranking 3rd in the nation in rushing is a pretty darn good sign and counters the argument of "we are merely running into the line every play."  If we finish the season in the Top 10 in rushing we are going to win games.

Also, the DB play yesterday was light years of anything we have seen the last two years.  My opinion is that this is a huge improvement.

I will also opine that everything is fixable. Some things in a couple of games as the coaching staff and players take the next step and make adjustments.  Some things will take longer, but we have a couple of anchors to build off of.  Not the least of which is the running game.

The standard is just win because we are tired of losing under the AD MK era of USF Football.

So let's fire Golesh after one game.  That will help.

I seriously can't believe college graduates expect to go from 130 to 1 in one game.  Serious delusion.

He looks demoralized in the picture. I watched the interview and his body posture is showing he is hurt from the loss. He is slouched down and leaning over questioning is he the man for the job. I know he thought he was before today, but boy oh boy does he have his work cut out for him.

We were expected to lose this game and had a chance to tie late in the 4th.

This fanbase has impossible standards.

I am going to guess BB.  I should.get a prize if I am right.

Just days before the season starts they want us to auto renew tickets for next year.  I'll take my chances and wait until the season is over. If there is 1 win again, as someone in another thread said: 

So, 2 wins and you are in?

Sweet!

I know we promised only positive vibes, so I hope this doesn’t break the rule, but I wanted to throw this out into the Bull universe. If Coach Go and Joel Gordon can’t make a decision on the starting QB and stick with it, that’s a big red flag for me. They have good options. Pick one and be decisive. QB rotations do not work and I’d never consider it unless my guys had very different skill sets. Bohanon and Brown do not. I don’t care if it’s Brice Archie, pick one guy and ride.

Now, here’s the amateur psychologist in me explaining why I think it could be BB. From the things Coach Go has said, and in taking him to media day, all the indicators right now point to Gerry. If Go truly believes that not announcing a starter until game time gives him an edge, then I’d be going with the other guy. But again, I don’t think GB and BB have vastly different skill sets, so the surprise factor is minimal.

There has not even been one down of football played and you are already looking for red flags?

Seriously?  

This is exactly why I spend way less time here than I used to.  So, uh, congrats?

Maybe they really are required at some level? Considering he's already told the press they know who the starting qb's going to be, and I'm guessing they already know other positions also, seems kind of a farce .... but I'm good with it.

Given the massive turnover, I doubt it does much to hide anything from WKU. They have really nothing on this team either way.  But a bit of gamesmanship, for sure.

But there is another way to look at it.  What I see is the guys they expect to play this year.  And the ORs indicate players they value, whether now or in future years.  Doesn't hurt to compliment your #4 QB that you would like to keep around for 5 years.

Thoughts are with you ET.  Get well soon.

...on a moratorium on whining and crying, doomerism, condemnation of the past and ruing our conference home etc., and have a great game week looking forward to seeing our team in action next weekend?

Whatta we think?  

 

I always get concerned when this happens...but I agree with Brad!
