Harper and B. Smith unlikely

[Pete]

Harper now has an offer from Oregon and "likes" them, and B. Smith's dad played with Michael Smith who is now at Arizona.  It appears Michael Smith will finally land a recruit.

Real nice work in state this year...

[michigancat]

LOL

^@ you, not KSU's recruiting.

^@ you, not KSU's recruiting.

Come on, a second post to clarify your first post?  You're better than that...

Why the "LOL?"  You think Ron will land these guys?

[michigancat]

Far from over.

I mean, you know Stoops is gone.

No way Jose...the Arizona Pres granted Stoops "one more year."  Honestly, an announcement like that sounds like the recruiting kiss-o-death in my mind...but Broderick (read: His dad) seems to be listening.

It was less than two weeks ago that Broderick Smith was all over KSU on J-Mart's blog. I'm not too worried just yet.



We did make A. Brown's top 7 though! EMAW!!

New Arizona President moving athletics to WAC conference?

What a very interesting story out Tucson today as the new University of Arizona president, Robert Shelton, said that he recently had "a person-to person conversation," with Arizona head football coach Mike Stoops and Arizona AD "..to reassure them they were coming back."  This "conversation" is reported to have taken place before the Washington game, when Arizona was 2-6.  But, this story is leaked to the Tucson press after Arizona wins two games over Washington and UCLA?  How so very curious.  What is even more curious is that the Arizona president feels that a head football coach that has put up records of 3-8, 3-8, 6-6, and is heading towards 4-8 in 2007 with Oregon and at Arizona State left on the schedule, should be brought back for an additional season. That would add up to a 16-30 (.348) over 4 years, and if that is good enough for Arizona football fans and the president of the university, then Arizona football is dead.  Maybe, if President Shelton can move quickly he can get Arizona into the WAC Conference before next season, because if you are going to call .348 acceptable then you have no business playing football in the Pac-10.  Taking a look at President Shelton's resume, it is clear this guy has accomplished a lot in his career.  No doubt, he can explain Einstein's Theory of Relativity and the very strange dark matter better than anyone at Coaches Hot Seat, but he seems to have a problem with 1st grade math.  16 wins and 30 losses may be good enough for New Mexico State or Slippery Rock, but in big-time college football .348 equals time to find a new head football coach.  Luckily for Arizona fans, alumni, and boosters, they have found a president that knows and understands Arizona's place in the world, namely in the bottom of the Pac-10, or if you get that application filled-out today, the middle of the WAC.

My concern is Oregon's bling . . . but hey the powertards told me over and over and over again that bling just doesn't matter.  But Oregon already got a stud JC DT who mentioned their bling multiple times.

I watched part of Oregon/ASU last week, and I think I love pretty much everything about Oregon.

I can't blame anyone for wanting to go there.

Wait....so why did you "LOL" me?

[michigancat]

^Arizona is a sh*t box for football, and Stoops is going to get fired, and Michael Smith sucks.

LOL, that answers that.

Hey, no one is disputing that....except for Brodericks Dad, presumably.

Although, I did think it was kinda cool when their D was called the "Desert Swarm."

[michigancat]

Wasn't that like for a week or two?

They played a big game against Penn State, IIRC.

Did anyone else LOL despite themselves when they raised the Duck mascot up and he "rowed" across the screen? If you think about it, it's not that funny, but...

I did.

Unis = terrible.  Unfortunately, recruits do seem to like them.


The cartoon duck's name is "Donald." Definitely one of the cooler mascots in the country.
