Go Cougs!

Rutgers got lucky. Unbelievable.

Any team with a semblance of a D is going to beat Rutgers, they have no secondary and no WR other then Caroo. WSU's D was just worse.

Agree. Anyone with a good run defense will make them have to have Nova win games. They still go less than .500.

Announcers saying B1G is "On notice." Gimme a break.

big win for the girls

Wazzu Qb throws for 500 yds and 5 tds and loses. Leach really earning his $ out in Pullman.

 

[tipphill]

very good win for them. i actually feel good for flood as the fan base has blamed him for everything that has gone wrong and never gave the man a chance. worst immature/ fan base in the country. the only thing that bothers me, is the recruiting angle

 

[orange79]

I am reminded of a game I attended in 1982(?) - Mac's 2nd year. After suffering through a 4-6-1 record the year before, in the first game of the season, we came out in the Meadowlands and crushed the Girls 31-8 (31-9?). After the game, all the players were chanting 'Brand new - SU!!!'. Season result: 2-9.

I expect a similar outcome for the B1G saviors this year.

 

[CuseOnly]

Best thing to happen to them is overconfidence after beating a horrific defensive team.

 

[texascpa]

First, I will give credit where credit is due: Longa is a beast.

Second, as expected the Coogs defense is horrid. Can anyone make a tackle? Unfortunately for RU, they will probably not see as bad a D the rest of the year.

I am upping their win total from 2 to 3 wins.

I guess I'm a little surprised how many stayed up until the middle of the night just to watch Rutgers.

 

[bothsocksup]

For some including myself, a rutgers loss feels almost as good as a cuse win

It was opening night, I resigned from work yesterday, staying home with kid today, so I made an exception to stay up until half time. It was a good win for them, that being said,

RU will win 4 games this year.

I DVR'd it and watched the second half this morning.

Ok, that's just ridiculous. You sound like a Michigan State fan about Michigan. I'm sure that the top 10 wins in MSU program history were Michigan losses to teams other than MSU.

532 yards passing 6 yards rushing LOL

LEACH

they're getting better. when's the last time anyone's ever had fun watching WSU

 

[Millhouse]

it's all because of the great LEACH

 

[Full_Rebar]

I'm not sure losing at home to Rutgers is a sign that things are getting better in Pullman. More entertaining to watch, but you could hire a HS coach from Texas to throw 60 times at 1/2 the cost of Leach.

Phil Bobo isn't walking through that door.

i remember a coach losing at home to rutgers in the 2nd year of a total rebuild and it was the most boring hopeless green apple splatter i've ever seen

 

[Full_Rebar]

Exactly...and that coach was making about 1/2 of what Leach is getting. Decisions like that are why so many athletic departments "lose" money.

If they want entertainment in Pullman, hire the guy who runs the A-11 offense then at least they would be unique.

be honest. you don't really care what leach makes. you just don't like what he's doing to your game

 

[Todd Gack]

Nor should WSU fans -- his decision to throw it three times in a row from the 2 (after they picked-off Nova) was just dumb.

I don't care what Leach makes or how he coaches. Personally I'd rather watch a team play that style instead of punting from the opponents 36. I just laugh at a school like Wazzu paying him that much thinking he'll bring them to an elite level. His stuff isn't that innovative and I doubt he makes it until the end of his deal (2018).

As much as you bag on meat-head coaches, why can't we bag on meat-head AD's who think a guy who "won" in Texas 5 years ago can do the same in Pullman Washington?

"strange" "use" "of" "quotes" "there"

 

[Full_Rebar]

Yeah, poor choice of quotes on my part there. My point is that he's overpaid for what he can accomplish there.

 

[OrangeDW]

I don't know why people are acting like they'll go 2-10. They've got the same type OOC schedule that they always have, with 3-4 wins near guaranteed!

I think the difference now is that rather than going 4-3 in a mediocre Big East for a soft 8-4 type of season, they'll go 2-6 at best in the Big Ten and end up with a soft 6-6 type of season.

 

[TheCusian]

Yep, if you like exciting offense and putrid defense, Leach is your guy.

Side note: Holgerson and Sumlin have similar blind spots, no? That's why I hope McDonald paired with Shafer can be something special.
