So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
This article is a ton of fun:

Shaw can probably still bolt for the NFL, but if he has another bad season, that window will close. I hope he goes.
One of the most interesting aspects of Stanford's (and Shaw's) struggles is that Shaw is an offensive guy; he was the OC under Harbaugh. The fact that they are struggling immensely on the offensive side of the ball is really interesting given Shaw's background, and I would imagine it isn't helping his personal "stock." Also, it will be interesting to see what happens with Lance Anderson given his success and the team's relative struggles.
I can't imagine having one of his players giving the team a profanity laced tirade while he was giving his presser after the game was any help.
I found Shaw's postgame comments to be odd. He basically said they do everything right but show up for games.
The scheme is phenomenol, the execution isn't. Where have i heard that before? (TIC)
Maybe Shaw needs to find a university with smarter student athletes to run his stuff
I think if you're Kyle, you should be putting in an annual offer to Lance to have him come "home" to SLC (he's actually from Burley, Idaho).
I've made mention of it in other posts and want to clarify the rent structure within the Pac-12:
Upper class/Dirty Rotten Stinking Filthy Rich: USC, Oregon
Upper middle class: UCLA, Arizona State, Washington, Stanford (they're DRSFR in the Olympic sports, FWIW)
Middle class: Arizona, Cal, Oregon State, Utah
Poor: Washington State, Colorado
Stanford could buy and sell the rest of the league combined many times

Looks good. Let's talk mobility.
Could move up a tier with success: UCLA, UW, Arizona, Cal, Utah, CU
Could move down a tier: ASU, Stanford, OSU, Utah
Not going anywhere: USC, Oregon, Wazzu
Stanford's endowment is ~7 times that of USC. They are a close third behind Yale, and roughly equivalent to Texas. All trail Harvard by a good margin.
Oregon is a nice little community college who was given an NFL team.
Yeah, we all know about Stanford's greed. I'm pretty sure pat was referring to strength of athletics programs (ie strength of football programs).
Yep. Academics keeps Stanford from the DRSFR category all around in athletics/football.
David Shaw is paid a whole lot of money to run the football program back into the dirt, so even Sancho could be pleased by that.
Hundley declares for the draft. Sort of.
It's about damn time that these Pac-12 NFL QBs started leaving early. Marcus Mariotta, the bell tolls for thee.
He already dropped out of the first round by sticking around an extra year. There sure are a lot of players who hurt their stock by staying too long.
and most of them are usc qb's.
Or Sean Mannion.
USC's Cody Kessler looks like a 2015 Heisman Trophy candidate

And we get to try stopping him at the Coliseum next season.

So, Mike Leach sued Craig James, ESPN, and ESPN's production company for defamation, among other things, stemming from his firing at Texas Tech. The trial judge tossed his suit and it was recently affirmed on appeal. Here's the money quote from the opinion:
[Coach Mike] Leach “agreed with everything that was said and said that some of the language that was pretty rough, he said ‘that sounds like me, if I didn’t say it, I wish I had….’”
The "pretty rough" quote was (spoiler tag for language)

Stay Classy, WAZZU!

When I get a migraine I need to be in a perfectly dark and quiet space. So that part makes sense.
Also you know Craig James' kid played the "Do you know who my daddy is?" card at least once a week.
Wilner's final Pac-12 coaching grades:
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/college...g-the-coaches/
Utah’s Kyle Whittingham
Grade: B
Comment: Finally got it right with Dave Christensen running the offense and sculpted a stout defense. Now, if he could only find a quarterback.
"Finally got it right with Dave Christensen . . . " Oh the irony. We will see.
Finally got the offense right? Wow, he might as well just come out and admit that he didn't watch the Utes this season. Maybe he caught the Fresno State and Colorado games.
Oregon making up for two years of frustration against Arizona. Apparently Arizona only practices in the sprinklers when they play Utah.
Watching the UA/UO game and a thought surfaced....What is Utah's recruiting message to top-notch, prospective kickers and punters?
"Our offense sucks and you'll get to kick/punt a lot"?
This clip from the Arizona-Oregon game.

Apparently that is not unusual as none of the players seemed to bat an eye.
Pac-12 bowl game rooting guide:
Utah vs CSU. Go Utes
ASU vs Duke. Which devil to follow? I don't see how any Ute fan could cheer for Graham and ASU in any game, let alone a game against a small time football program in the middle of a modest heyday.
USC vs Nebraska. Mike Riley was the guy everyone pointed to as a great coach content to work in a so-so program. His departure means everyone will now be pointing at Kyle Whittingham. As a thank you, Ute fans will pull for his Cornhuskers against ex-BYU QB Sark.
Stanford vs Maryland. Fear the turtle. Duh.
Arizona vs Boise State. Ute fans can relive the BCS busting glory days and root for Boise. Stupid Arizona. I'm tired of them already.
Oregon vs FSU. QUACK!
KState vs UCLA. Go fighting Snyders!
UW vs Okie State. I can't think of a reason why a Utah fan should root against these Huskies. Go Huskies.
