Line play is the backbone of football. We are not there yet. Witness the Nebraska, Stanford & Oregon game.
Sark & Carroll are drinking the same kool aid on fourth down, they need a reality check.
I’ve been a lifelong Husky fan and a Cougar “follower” when they weren’t playing the Dawgs. I can’t ever remember being this excited for Cougar football. I think Leach is going to turn the Pac 12 on it’s ear and that’s exciting.
Looks like the Cougs will finally will be the Huskies hated rival again — a legitimate rival, not just the other major university from the state of Washington. Both teams have been sucking for a long time, so this is a good thing. Now the question is: who will be first to become a legitimate rival of the Ducks again; the Cougars or the Huskies?
Mike Price didn’t have three 10 win seasons in a row. Doba had the one.
Thank God for all those TV millions, and the ability they endow to fire a perfectly decent and competent man like Paul Wulff, and to replace him with a self-inflated buffoon like Mike Leach.
Nothing says competent like 9-40. Or we could be the one team that doesn’t use the money to better the program which would make more money and improve the university and community.
Xavier–you are absolutely right in that Paul Wulff is a decent and competent man. I’ll bet 99% of Cougs agree with you. However, the record shows he was a failure as a head coach at about an 80% rate. With regard to your opinions about Mr. Leach, I think your comment (self inflated buffoon) says more about you than the person you denigrate that you’ve never even met.
