I don't even know why I'm bothering, but:

  • Abilene Christian is semi good? Uh...ok, I guess...if mediocre FCS teams are to be considered semi-good. They were 5-6 last year, and this year they're 2-1 with a 2 point win last week over mighty Northern Colorado. ACU's QB has thrown for 300 yards exactly twice in his career, but had over 500 against TT. He did not break 300 against either of their other opponents this year - West Georgia and the aforementioned Northern Colorado. N. Texas gave up 38 to South Alabama...so 66 to TT sounds about right. But sure...if we want to use those as the measuring sticks to say that Tech is "semi-good" I guess we could. It's kind of the same as going to a little people convention to claim you're tall though.
  • "UW on a scale of 1 to 10, is probably a 5.9, 6.3, 6.5, 6.7, 6.9, 7.3" This statement is broad, abstract, and lacks reference...so is meaningless.
  • We didn't "shut down" Coleman. He had 5.3 yards per carry, which is pretty huge. As for your claim that there were a "semi lot" of plays (whatever the hell that means) where he got less than 2.5, here's the fact: he had 6 carries that were 3 yards or less. Two of those were no gain, and two were losses - including the idiotic option on 4th down that was doomed before he ever touched it, but he gets the stat anyway. He also had 4 carries that went for more than 10. So really, he had a decent day, and we should be glad the UW coaches weren't smart enough to give it to him more.
  • "UW's RB is supposedly semi comparable, semi similar to BSU's RB" Not sure what "semi comparable" means either. They are similar sized, Coleman is 15 lbs heaver, Jeanty is probably faster. Coleman is getting 12-13 carries per game, Jeanty is getting 22. And, Jeanty is averaging 10.2 yards per carry for the season. That is ridiculous. He's going to be the biggest threat we face this season - forget about COleman.
  • "11,12 carries for about 45 yards(14 carries minus 2,3 carries of about 10 to 13 to 15 yards per carry for 2,3 carries equals about 11,12 carries for about 45 yards, for about a 3.5 yards per carry for the rest of the remaining carries)" If I understand this word salad correctly, it means that if an RB has long runs, we shouldn't count them in their stats. So the 63 yards Coleman had on 4 carries don't really mean anything, we should only consider the other 10 carries that only netted 12 yards. Those long runs don't really matter anyway...his 29 yard run in the 3rd led to a FG, but since they didn't win, I guess it was meaningless. I count at least 5 times he ran for first downs, which extended drives. But that's meaningless, it doesn't make a difference in the game.

I’m not gonna get into the other nonsense but let’s put to rest any idea that Coleman is close to Jeanty. Jeanty is the best back in the country and is everything you want in a top level NFL RB. Coleman is good but he is probably a mid to late round draft pick.

Some of the things you said are true, some not, some partially true, not.

1. Texas Tech is at least semi good. They have put up AMAZING numbers, against ACU(Who is at least semi good), and even a 66-21 score after the WSU, TT game, even if against a crap team, is AMAZING.

2. UW on a scale of 1 to 10, is probably a 5.9, 6.3, 6.5, 6.7, 6.9, 7.3

3. UW's RB was supposedly supposed to be unstoppable by WSU, and yet WSU SHUT HIM DOWN(Had 2,3 semi bigger plays, but overall had about 3.3 yards per carry, and about 33 to 43 to 53 yards. UW's RB is supposedly semi comparable, semi similar to BSU's RB.

BSU, Fresno St, is not going to be easy, but WSU probably should, will at least beat SJSU, probably at least either Split against BSU, Fresno St, or just barely beat both, or just barely lose to both, and if WSU goes 4-2, 5-1, 6-0, the rest should probably be pretty easy.

That does not mean that WSU can afford to take that for granted, not show up, etc.

But Dickert, Team doesn't hardly ever take teams for granted, not show up, not focus, etc.

Dickert, team is all about focus, trying best, going 1-0, etc, each week.

But that's Dickert, Team, etc, us fans, can, should expect to do well vs SJSU, BSU, Fresno St, rest of MWC, as WSU, Dickert, team is a good coach, likely good team, etc.

Like I said some of that came from 2,3 semi bigger runs.

11,12 carries for about 45 yards(14 carries minus 2,3 carries of about 10 to 13 to 15 yards per carry for 2,3 carries equals about 11,12 carries for about 45 yards, for about a 3.5 yards per carry for the rest of the remaining carries)

That is pretty good for a defense where RB that was supposedly supposed to put up 125 to 150 to 175 to 200 yards on WSU's defense.

UW's RB really didn't make a difference in the game, except for 2,3,4 first downs, and the play action pass.

So that 14 carries for 75 yards either didn't make a difference, or didn't make much of a difference.

And there was a semi lot of plays, where UW's RB only got -2, -1, 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 yard gains.

OK so UNLV. WTF?

Loyal Coug1
Why were they not invited (yet)? Or were they, and they said no? The UNLV/UNR "package deal" hypothesis is out there but doesn't seem to be the reason - but maybe it was. Regents are saying they didn't deep-six it, they don't know anything apparently.

So WTF happened? UNLV is an absolute no-brainer and should have been the first or second invite. UNLV fans think we dogged them and don't want them. I don't believe that. This needs to be fixed. I dunno who else we will invite, but UNLV HAS TO BE the next one.

Love watching the poor mutt fans looks of sadness and disbelief. And our fans (looks like there ended up being a shitload there, good job Coug) going wild. A goal line stuff for the win is even better than a last second TD IMHO.

I watched Mateer's 2nd TD a couple more times. What a thing of beauty. RB and center leading and crushing the LB, WR's blocking 15 yards downfield. The one mutt rusher went to the wrong side of the center which helped.

Yeah, great run and well executed in terms of blocking by the entire team. Belichick & Fisch trying to figure out WTF just happened was a fun watch!

I hope we are done talking about boycotting the Apple Cup

Just flying home from a great weekend in the PNW. The overall game experience was great. Pioneer Square was rocking pre-game, and seemed to exceed expectations. I was at the Elysian Brewery across from Lumen Field pre-game and they essentially ran out of beer, with only two taps still running out of probably +40! Lumen is much more comfortable than either campus stadium, and it seemed about 40/60 Cougs/Huskies. The fans were loud during the game but overall pretty chill- almost like we were guests at someone else’s house. There were definitely fewer students there for each side- UW hasn’t returned yet from summer break. The weather was very fall-like and it really felt like the Apple Cup to me. It was also so nice to be mentioned on ESPN, and all the other networks, for playing a big game and winning a big game, and not just as a victim of conference re-alignment or for waiving a flag a mind-numbing number of times.

Going forward the AC is going to be A LOT more important for us, because non-conference scheduling is going to get a lot harder. Every coach said it was nearly impossible to get Power 5 conference teams to travel to Pullman when we were one, and now its going to be next to impossible, once the currently scheduled games are played. Beating Wisconsin, Texas Tech and Washington out-of-conference is going to cement the message not to play WSU at home. If anyone glanced at the Texas Tech message boards after last weekend, the fan hatred was split 3-ways between their coach, their QB and their AD for scheduling such a “horsesh*t game”. Regardless who else joins the Pac12, this is the most important event in WSU sports, by about 100-fold. Continuing this series is a huge gift to WSU, and winning this game was honestly as much fun as any Apple Cup I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot.

That's not what you said. You said:

"(Had 2,3 semi bigger plays, but overall had about 3.3 yards per carry, and about 33 to 43 to 53 yards."

"Overall" mean in total. In total he did not have 33 to 43 to 53 yards and 3.3/carry.

Just sayin'........

Sure looked like Edson was held on the 4th-and-1, but still managed to make the play on Rogers. Thorton deserves a lot of praise after being a weak link last year. He's had a really good season start. Loved the instant reaction of the mutt fans. "What happened?" and I think "WTF".
