So we want Boise (hosting Nevada), Bama (at LSU), Indiana (hosting Michigan), Tennessee (hosting Mississippi State) and Notre Dame (hosting Florida State) to lose. It's OK if BYU keeps winning, because it reduces the negative of our loss to them.

How much of this is the new coaching staff's recruiting prowess, and how much of this is the ACC impact?

Either way, great job. Let's go get another!

Invite SMU first. But after that, it would be funny if the Pac12 bleeds the Big12 dry

The fact that teams don't all face each other, because of the math, makes sense.
But the schedule definitely should be juggled so that each team plays every other team at least once every 2 years. No way Houston (or anyone else) should get a 2 year holiday from facing Cincinnati.

Right. I assume Craddock is breaking down film, doing big part of opponent scouting, etc.
CM surely will run everything about the offense.

1. It's a dead period.
2. The coach we assume was the inspiration for the OP's screen name spells his name "SABAN."

Therefore, I assume he really is a fan of Albert Bruce Sabin (August 26, 1906 Białystok, Russian Empire (today Poland)– March 3, 1993): American medical researcher best ...

OMG, maybe we're saying the same thing but saying it differently. Maybe "working out some kinks" wasn't the right way to say it. Whatever. I think Tech has more overall talent, and to beat them, we have to play better than they do. If each team plays at 100%, I think they win. If playing better ...

Call it whatever you want. I think that they have more talent overall, although the gap appears smaller than it has in years past. So yes, we have to play better than they do to beat them IMO. If you want to phrase it differently, that's cool.

I also say GO SMU. I'm with you there.

I also didn't say anyone should be scared of a 200+ WR ... but 257 is rare, and apparently he's not just a big dude without talent (2nd team All-B12 last year).

Again, I'm not saying we can't win. I'm just not saying we should.

I'll say it (with you) again ...

Slow down there. I agree that we "can," but saying we "should" is a little premature, if you ask me. From the games I saw last year, they're still faster than we are, and Kingsbury is new but obviously can cook up a potent offense. Vegas will still favor Tech by a touchdown or so, and Vegas doesn't ...

I don't know how big a role he was supposed to have this year, but it doesn't hurt to weaken them a little more. A couple of Tech fans I work with are acting like this is the end of the world.

Good point. Margus was in an ideal spot at SMU, for him and for us.

I'm hungry and I want a burger -- a good burger. But I'm visiting Albuquerque. Anyone have any suggestions?

Glad I don't have to spell all of those names!
