    Had no idea until today that Gardner Minshew is Washington State's starting quarterback. I think he's trying to set a record for most schools played at in a college career. Wazzu is his fourth, and technically the fifth, program he's been affiliated with:
    • Walked on at Troy
    • Transferred to Northwest Mississippi Community College
    • Played two seasons at East Carolina
    • Committed to Alabama as a graduate transfer
    • Transferred instead to Washington State when Mike Leach offered him a chance at the starting job.

    Luke Falk’s likely successor chose WSU over Alabama: Meet Cougars QB Gardner Minshew

    BYU taking it to Arizona tonight.

    Cougars RB Squally Canada (great name!) just plowed in for his third TD of the night, BYU up 28-10 late in the third quarter.

    Pac-12 may as well close up shop with losses to BYU and Cincy.

    Saban is like Trump - he just can't help being an asshole from time to time.

    I thought it was loaded at first but it was a good question.

    This guy did this great and this guy did this great...

    Local media must be wearing him out. He knee jerked that response.

    College football is kinda overrated as an entertainment product. There, I said it.

    Local and national media has worn him out about it for nine months. I'm quite certain he's sick of it. OTOH, she asked if he saw anything in yesterday's game that would inform his choice, and I think based on that Tua has the job unless he completely unravels. He'll use them both some, at least early in the season.

    He started 19-3. He's 9-9 since then.

    Four years is a lot of Jim Harbaugh for anyone to take.

    Good matchups and entertaining games are hard to find on opening weekend.
