    Good to see TW scoring that TD. As embattled of a QB as he is, the kid as a ton of heart.

    Probably an indication that DC stays and others may go.

    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.

    Wilson has a hurt leg and JT looks pretty quick. And, pretty much every opponent we have played has better passing-QB.

    Double checked and he's only a junior. But at this point there's no reason not to play him. The garbage time isn't going to get any of the QB's meaningful snaps. And given the frustration CSU has shown I think it's not worth risking injury to any of those guys.

    What is the reason for Booker staying in the game?

    *** Never mind. It was for a record.

    Nice way to cap off a 9 win season. When is spring ball?

    Didn't Wolfman get 1519? Booker ended up with 1512.

    Schulz deserved those snaps.

    Nothing to be upset about here. 45-10.

    All that's left is the debate: if we played in the mwc, would we finish 200-0 or 150-0 in a 12 game season?

    I know I was complaining about the Vegas bowl, but it was nice to see a relatively full stadium for a bowl game. It's a pretty rare sight.

    Who knows.

    I would submit that non-P5 teams/conferences are not the same as when Utah/TCU/BSU were playing as non-P5. The delta between "haves" and "have-nots" is much larger now -- and I think this is tragic for "collegiate" sports.

    When you play walk on over recruited players you show how bad of recruiters you are and you set back recruiting.

    Maybe playing Schulz last year was an indication of this. Playing him yesterday was just a nice reward for an outgoing senior.

    Schulz is a junior.

    Did any of the news media ask Kyle about the decision to play Schulz?

    Oops, outgoing junior then. It was clearly a farewell for someone who started for us last year and is on his way out of the rotation.

    I'm more worried about the snaps to Jason Thompson. That looked like round one of a tryout.

    This year counted against JT's 4 years since he already had a Redshirt year. It was nice to give him some snaps since next year is his SR year. I generally like what I saw from him.

    Schulz looked decent yesterday as well. He threw a few very difficult passes with pinpoint accuracy. I was happy to be far enough ahead that some of the role players got a chance to see the field.

    McClellon and McCormick showed us what to expect in the future.

    I enjoyed watching TW yesterday. He is an exciting player and will always be one of my favorites. I get the feeling that he would have been a perennial minimum of Second Team or Honorable Mention All-MWC QB.

    CSU is a solid team. But the talent disparity is greater than I imagined it to be when we first came to the PAC-12. It was eye-opening to gauge just how far we have come over the last few years.

    Thompson should be a junior next year, not a senior.

    He is listed as a Jr this year, like Kendal Thompson.

    But it makes sense that he should be a Jr NEXT year. He played as a FR in 2012, RS in 2013, SO in 2014 (ineligible due to transfer), and JR next year. It appears you are correct.

    Great game! I really miss having porous undersized defenses to play against. I turned the game off at the half, even though we were only up 14 it was clear who was going to win. We just had superior athletes everywhere. Also, props to Kyle for getting the kids up for the game. Kyle is now the best bowl coach of all time!

    The only player I really care about coming back next year is devontae. I'm not sure he's an nfl back-lacks that top shelf speed. But he is a running back and those guys peak young. My guess is he'll grade out around a sixth rounder. If I'm right, I think he jumps.

    I also think he goes, and I think he'll be a great RB on the right team.

    Turned it off at halftime?!??!
