  • Wrubell really hates Sanford

    Wrubell on Sanford:

    UNLV head coach Mike Sanford was very complimentary of BYU in his postgame comments last night. He was quick to add that he thought injuries to two linebackers contributed to the setback, as did three turnovers, which he called the "difference in the game."

    On the first point, in his fifth season, it's Sanford's responsibility to ensure that the backups are competent and capable, and he seemed to indicate that was not the case. Personnel and depth are coaching issues, and neither the talent nor depth appear to be what UNLV needs to turn a corner.

    As for the turnovers, they were not the difference in the game. Even had UNLV scored touchdowns on its three possessions that ended in giveaways, BYU still would have won by three scores, all other things being equal.

    The difference in the game was the fact UNLV can's stop anyone, and with Utah and TCU remaining on the Rebels' October agenda, things don't appear likely to improve. Clearly, Sanford is a "dead coach walking," and the school administrators can point to last night's game as a microcosm of the problems that never got solved during Sanford's remarkably unsuccessful tenure.

    I'll be honest, I'm surprised he has lasted this long. Undisciplined teams. Can anybody forget his meltdown against Iowa State with his team not leaving the field? Plus, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to recruit to UNLV. Close to So. Cal, close to Utah. The best of both worlds.

          The best part is when he trips running back onto the field.

            What reason does Wrubell have to hate Sanford?

                I'm not sure, but you can really sense the hatred. He has written worse about Sanford in the past, but I'm still trying to find it.

                  I kind of like the part at the very beginning when he yells: "The game's not over."
                  Some lady responds: "Yeah it is!"
                  He says: "That game is NOT over!"
                  She yells: "It's over!"

                  Maybe she thought he was just an angry fan.

                    Yeah, that part is funny, but watching him trip is priceless.

                        Ha, I love homers. The next time BYU is playing without multiple starters and loses I am sure kccoug won't bring it up.

                          Wow. Somebody needs to let that Michigan coach know he coaches women's college basketball.

                              I know Wrubbell has asked several times how much Johnson missing hurt the cougars against FSU.
