I agree in reference to BOT and Scholl and Gragg and many in the past like Taylor. Not Fitz. He is nothing like those guys which turned out to be his demise.

Lol. He agreed to “take the hit” from Gragg at first, but not the fall.

All of them are ego-driven bureaucrats. Not leaders. I would Fire them all if I could. But we’ll see if the subpoena still happens. I have no intention of ever staying silent again.

Well, the good news is that if we are effective at breaking the press it often leads to easy baskets.

I feel like we haven't really done that much this year tho, even against the teams that press really hard we've not tried to make them pay more than a handful of times that I've seen. That's really the best way to break the press imho, score a quick basket every time they try it.

One plan PSU can work is trying to get Mullins and Berry in foul trouble early - they both play aggressive defense as their norm, so flopping and acting could put them both in foul trouble fairly early, which would give KJ and possibly Angelo opportunities.

How do you prove a fake injury?

Bingo! I have no idea what if anything was done but a response might be for a team to be penalized whether a real injury or not - forced run-off of time, loss of a time out and the like.

Perhaps rely on good behavior from the coaches and players? That should work - not.

The rules on substitutions need to be cleaned up. Forcing teams to use time outs doesn't make for a better game. Same thing with fake injuries although I believe, don't know, there were rule changes around that this past off-season.

To determine targeting there usually are about half a dozen rules the announcers need to recite. Most times they don't get them right. So I look at targeting this way - don't get excited until the ref makes a call which usually is different than what everyone in the stadium thinks. Kind of like pass interference.

I couldn't decide whom to root for. I hate the SEC arrogance but that 34 year old coach for ASU is hard to like. Not as bad as Beamer last night, but still obnoxious. In the end I pulled for ASU so blame their lost on me. I have a very high batting average rooting for losers.

So much for our hosting the defending champs next year

All three of my daughters graduated from Arizona State so I'm rooting for them and that call was totally wrong it was clearly targeting and could have changed the game outcome. But of course there's so many plays in a game that could have changed the outcome

Refs determined the outcome.
Happens a lot.

Just awful not to call targeting - even if it wasn’t primary intent, he was leading with the helmet and obviously gave the WR a concussion.

The only reason that wasnt called targeting was that Texas is in the SEC.
Period.
ASU wins if they call it.
And it was definitely targeting.

I'm so glad we've got our '25 QB, and we're not still in the Gronowski waiting game.

Waiting for Gronowski...it got to be like waiting for Godot.
