Playing with ourselves: Cougars v Cougars...Season opener!

[Babs]

You seem especially interested in this thread, is it because you are closing in on cougar age status?

Just call me Stacy's mom.

You'll have to PM a request to Lebowski for a moniker change.

Leach era set to begin at Washington State

Like:

Much depends on an offensive line that must do a better job of protecting quarterbacks from injury.

The Cougars are thin on the defensive front seven, in part because of Leach’s tough discipline style.

Three potential starters have been kicked off the team since Leach took over. Linebacker C.J. Mizell, perhaps the program’s best athlete, was kicked off after an alleged altercation at a fraternity party earlier this year. Linebacker Sekope Kaufusi was kicked off after he was arrested in a marijuana possession case. Defensive tackle Anthony Laurenzi was kicked off after the alleged theft of a pair of headphones.

That left the team with more inexperience at linebacker than expected, and a thin depth chart on the defensive line.

Ivan Drago graduated from Wazzu with a degree in chemistry?

Purported IQ of 160? Not surprising, when you consider his logical reasoning skills: "If he dies, he dies."

Also, I seem to remember him being a US Olympic biathlete (not that kind of bi athlete, sickos!).

I like the fact that instead of being a terrifying DE, he marched in the Wazzu band. I hope he played the flute.

Although I think BYU will win, this game still makes me a little nervous. Leach is a loose cannon and this game is a wild card. BYU has started slow the last few years. We barely moved the ball on Ole Miss, who was 90th in total defense last year, and never really got it going against average or better teams. Texas? Byu had a good quarter but was anemic otherwise (granted Texas has a good defense). UCF? Not a lot of fireworks there. I have no idea what Doman has in store for this season but until I see it, I won't believe this will be a highly productive offense. I just hope the defense can keep Wazzu in check.

Buy into the hype, man!

But seriously. I refuse to listen to hype anymore. I've been burned too many times.

I do have a lot of confidence in our defense though. We're returning so many starters. How many games will our defense win for us this year?

What do those games you cited have in common?

No Riley.

Doubt not.

What hype? I can't remember a BYU team that was hyped less.

Hype is in the eye of the beholder.
