Guessing the Monster Energy Big 12 would be very happy to lend us a crew of their ace refs ...

From PFF data 4 pens offense, all on OL 2 RG VanSickle in 43 snaps, 1 each RG Cook (28 snaps), LT Lowe (28 snaps) 3 pens defense one each free safety, right end (or edge?), RT 2 pens ST (not clear on this, says 2(1) which I would assume meant 2 penalties called, one accepted, but then you'd be short a penalty if they actually had 9 for the game) Anyway you were right about the OL having issues, especially at RG. Good!

Is one of these dudes wearing a toupee ?

I mostly heard the "my interactions with him have been positive" and "he's a good guy" about Joey McGuire, dating back to his high school coaching days. I think Jordan, Jeff and maybe Gerry said things similar to this, could be wrong though. Can't remember anyone here actually standing up for Cody Campbell

Yes for ASU game - I could actually attend that one easily enough, I'm just two miles from the Tempe border lol. ASU is a decent team in a P4 conference under Kenny D, so helps our SOS, but no real threat to beat Texas if Texas shows up ready to go.

"Only four FBS offenses committed more turnovers than the nine charged to Texas in 13 games" You wrote "more turnovers" but I'm pretty sure you meant "fewer" right Jeff?

Yeah it's just a hedge. No idea what it costs, maybe 10% would sound right to me, but businesses do similar things all the time. Dunno why guys here are so upset about it. Not our circus and Lane's not our monkey.

Scanning those names it's surprising to me how few I recognize from bitter Texas - Oklahoma recruiting battles. Other than Fasusi and maybe a couple of others I can't remember too many head-to-head recruitments where it came down to us vs them. We seem to be casting a much wider recruiting net under Sark.

I think it's time to just start listing guys as Y1 Y2 ... Y5 given the 5-for5 rules.

First Arizona high school game I've watched since Jake Smith was a senior. Only watching this one because Roberts is a Texas commit. Impressed with both QBs, surprisingly accurate I thought for this early in the season. Jury is still out on Roberts for me. Had the one long run but otherwise he didn't really look like the # 4 RB nationally (ESPN ranking ... he's # 17 at 247C and # 32 RB and a 3* from 247). Good game except for the penalties. Chandler is outgunned on the LOS but hanging in there. A Basha guard is 6'5" 340 lbs, going to Cal, and their OT Hildebrand is ranked # 11 OT (higher than Brian Swanson) and headed to ASU. Chandler QB Mencl is impressive (except for that one INT), Oregon is getting a good one. # 88 for Basha is having a great game, two TDs and a third on the punt return called back because of the illegal block.

Downright neighborly of those LT folks to travel to Westlake and cheer on their Chaparral buddies ...

I think you may have Jenksed them ...

Might be valuable at LB on obvious rushing situations, he could probably fill gaps solidly once he identifies them. But hard to see him being able to cover a RB out of the backfield since he probably lacks speed and lateral movement. A good OC would identify him immediately as a weak link and isolate him on a shifty RB and it would probably not be pretty. He seems buried at EDGE behind younger guys like Jackson, Zina, maybe Wesley so might as well find a spot he can contribute at in certain situations.

EDIT: Wait, never mind - I thought from the HUDL headline Thrower went to DeSoto! My mistake. Ignore the rest of this post. Senior moment.] Great double-header featuring Texas 2027 recruits on ESPN2 and ESPN Saturday evening. DeSoto v # 7 St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) in Fort Lauderdale on ESPN2, with Briceson Thrower #8 Basha v # 23 Chandler (Arizona) here in Chandler, featuring 14 D1 recruits from Basha, including Noah Roberts, and several high ranking recruits from Chandler. The forecast high for Chandler tomorrow afternoon is 116 F degrees, just thought I'd share that with you (I live on the Chandler - Phoenix border). That's hot even for Phoenix. But dropping to 107 by Saturday so folks will need to bring a sweater to the game lol.

Plus them NIL checks just stopped coming in
