Very good crowd. ASU is playing zone but Pope and Cheatham converting on touches early, SDSU up 4-0.

Verbals to SDSU...

Posted his senior clips yesterday. Shotgun system but I'm always surprised with his arm strength and ability to keep head looking downfield.

There is no inside dope on this I am just killing time and making educated guess's I am sure there is a punter in there and maybe another JUCO?

He said its his "#1 priority." Article also says it has been proposed at 30,000 seats, which is definitely too small.

what is the issue SDSU has right now with basketball? For the past 5 or so seasons, scoring has been extremely difficult for them. Is that a recruiting thing? A development thing? A systemic issue?
This isn't trying to stir the boat, but it's something that I would for someone to answer without bias or insults back towards me.
We can't keep saying the other team played well and deserved to win. The Aztecs blew these past 2 games because they couldn't make pressure plays.

ASU wide receiver Coach has been a good OC at several schools. A good hire if they can build a defense. With 5 QBs at ASU I would nto be surprised to see one transfer to Nevada since they were all recruited by Jay.

Fortunately will not be eligible for their game with us.

Will we be able to get a feed of the Grand Canyon game on this site???

First let me make very clear this is not a Chapman bash topic. In fact I really like Chapman and what he has done. I don't see how any of us can complain with a starter who is (approx) 12-3 in his career...AND he is only a Soph.

My question is on backups. All programs need solid backups these days. QB's go down with injuries at a quick rate. All programs need a backup who can push the starter to be better every week and be ready to take over in emergency. Not to get thru the game, but to lead the team the rest of the season.

What is the consensus here on Ryan Agnew. I have seen so little of him but what I have seen I liked.

I figure if Jimmy Walker could push Chapman he would have already made that apparent and be pushing for a starting job.

Who do we have in that Frosh and Redshirt frosh class.

My thoughts are we need a very good frosh QB to come in next year or a JC QB that can challenge Chapman. Of course my thoughts change is Agnew is a solid backup who can take care of business if Chapman goes down. In that case I forget the JC guy and go after a high school QB.

What do you guys think of the backup QB situation and Agnew/Walker?

When you live out of state you miss some of the local news coverage.
Coming in from Michigan, I picked up a U-T and read Acee's column which included comments on how Acee rates coach Long. He thinks he's overstayed his welcome.
Is he alone in his opinion or is there
a growing loss of confidence in Rocky?

Way to go big guy!!!!

Was a shocker to see South Alabama made it into a Bowl game. And playing Air Force of all teams.

All really stepped up looked very good.Sergio is a terror most underrated player on the team. Henderson will vie with Lakalaka,Dunn,Ricks,Tezino,the super frosh for some serious playing time at linebacker.So many positives for next year. Warring and Wells,the two big Frosh wr's that some tall Dudes to throw too. Really depth and at corner and the offensive line coming together(the talent is there) is the only real concerns. Replacing Blain at punter as well he was great this year.

It looks like Javelin Guidry DB decommitted from Houston. He is from Murrieta. We had offered him before. Any interest? The kid is electric. He alreadt has an official visit set up to Colorado State.

How'd that happen?

Can we pull it together one more time and ride Penny to victory? I swear, I believe Penny is the key to our victory this week.

Reminder that each bowl game team is contractually obligated to buy a minimum number of tickets for the game. Any shortfall is made up by the game payout after the fact from the payout. SDSU will accrue major travel expenses to house/feed/travel/entertain......so last thing the program budget needs is also have an expense for failing to sell its ticket allotment. Don't have specifics but SDSU will likely have to sell AT LEAST 7,500.

Besides, this is easily the best matchup in a bowl game SDSU has had since Holiday Bowl. BUY your tix folks.

How did that happen?

Brrr..

Kind of got missed in the happy victory. Penny has 1004.

Arizona Twitter folks are throwing around Tony Whites name as a possible guy to replace their DB coach the fired, the guy from SJSU I forget his name. If they take TW, I have no problem swapping and taking that guy. He recruited really well at SJSU.
