What say you?
and for the record , I’m now going with the under.
PSU - and 2 of Cal, OSU, Arizona and Stanford.
Might be an oh-fer year, boys.
What we saw on defense wasn't a lack of coaching or discipline, it was a lack of size and talent. Any team that decides they want to drop 200+ yards on us on the ground will. Our LBs aren't big enough or fast enough to plug up the vacuous holes left by the DL, and half the time they aren't smart enough to even be in position to make the play.
JDL can't hit a pass further than 15 yards, and apparently there is a committed effort to ensure that MB gets completely fcked for his senior year and draft chances, so he'll not see the ball more than 10 times a game. Not only that, but its only a matter of time before JDL gets either his bell rung or an injury that will remove him from the game for who knows how long. Combine that with a WR crew who seems to have no interest in making a play for balls in their area, and I don't see us averaging more than 17ppg this season, and that's a high estimate.
Don't even get me started on how fcking stupid Rolo's gameday coaching is - he makes Leach's questionable decisions look brilliant.
What we see this year may make some Cougs pine for the days for CPW; its gonna be ugly, fellas.
Lack of coaching puts Justus on the field. Guy missed tackles left and right. Terrible angles, terrible tackling. May be talent strapped in some areas that will put us out of games against Pac12 foes. But lack of coaching gives the ball to Max 12 times too. Lack of coaching brings in Cooper in a package. That loss was nearly entirely lack of coaching imo. No secret Rolo has been a tale of two halves nearly every game. That’s coaching.Might be an oh-fer year, boys.

It's crazy too because this guy has been there for like a decade now and he still can't make a solid, fundamental tackle. What are these coaches seeing that we don't? I mean, how can they justify starting this guy continually? Archie Armani is frustrating all the same. Dude could've easily been flagged for 3 PI's but was only flagged for one..... And it cost us bigly. Do those coaches not teach DB's to get their heads turned around on pass coverage? He needs more sideline time. D_Line does not get any pressure and when they do, its because they over-pursued and the middle opens up like the parting of the Red Sea. I watched Willie Taylor multiple times give the most lack luster effort on passing downs/plays. It was infuriating to see.Lack of coaching puts Justus on the field. Guy missed tackles left and right.

So that Cone of Shame for nosepicking on TV finally arrived from Amazon?
1-0 after beating USD and their 77 year old coach.
Is the "Cone" considered safer than the "Mask" nowadays?
His supporters in the blogosphere will point out that pointing with his index and middle finger is a "pro booger picker" move - allows him to flick the booger to the ground with his thumb and his pinkie.So that Cone of Shame for nosepicking on TV finally arrived from Amazon?
Posters hate Paul Wulff here, and I mean hate in the literal sense. If the dude dropped dead tomorrow, they’d rejoice. I’ve never understood that, nor do I want to.Man, oh man...such hate and vitriol for a guy who just happened to fail as a head coach at his alma-mater, where by all accounts he was a great Coug and is a very decent human being. That's all I have to say about that.
Agreed. Wulf er Rolo needs to be rid of QB committee, run the rock, short outs and scheme the woeful D to pressure the opposing pass. "ANOTHER COUGAR FIRST DOWN" may be a thing of the past and I will settle for a sack or two.I’m going to chicken out and say it’s too soon to tell. This weekend probably doesn’t tell us much because it’s PSU. Next weekend might not mean much because it’s USC.
If last week is really representative…under. In fact, if you move it to 2.5, I probably still take the under.

No hate, but no love.Posters hate Paul Wulff here, and I mean hate in the literal sense. If the dude dropped dead tomorrow, they’d rejoice. I’ve never understood that, nor do I want to.
He is the most important WSU coach of the 21st century (so far).Posters hate Paul Wulff here, and I mean hate in the literal sense. If the dude dropped dead tomorrow, they’d rejoice. I’ve never understood that, nor do I want to.
I was just thinking that wulff didn’t coach bell Lewis or CalvinRenard Bell, Robert Lewis, Jamire Calvin all are thankful Leach didn’t have the $1.60 rule.
I have to thank Wulff for the Spencer Waseem bathroom loafing story. One of my favorite.
You can appreciate what a guy put into playing and WSU and also acknowledge he sucked at coaching. They aren’t mutually exclusive. There was the whole lost innocence thing too which didn’t help his cause as he pouted his way out the door.To be clear, I dont hate Paul Wulff. I think he is a shitty football coach that ruined some kids careers with his piss poor decision making and coaching. I dont think he should be allowed to coach football he is so bad at it. I think he had a terrible plan for WSU, then enacted it. He is white rice. No personalty. Zero charisma. I forget what poster wrote that he recruited about as well and ANY coach walking into a high school wearing a polo shirt of a Pac 12 team ~ spot on.
If Paul Wulff was a garbage man I think he would suck at that too.
So I dont hate the guy. In fact, Ive actually elevated him from “Turd.” I just believe he is a crap coach and should be run out of the business. Which he damn near was. If he dropped dead tomorrow I wouldnt rejoice.
Along those lines, how is it determined if a kid can’t suit up? The Pac-12 has reverted to their pre COVID rules. If you can’t field a team, you forfeit. But if a lot of vaccinated, asymptotic kids have delta, would anyone even know? Including the players? Are there still testing requirements for those fully vaccinated?Back to the topic at hand, and I don't want this point to be turned into a political one, there are enough threads on the board for that, but we do have the spector of the forfiet rule hanging over us as well. I fully anticipate it will rear its ugly head at some point (likley around a game that on paper seems winnable knowing our luck), so with that in mind, as much as I hate it, I'm going under 3.5 wins.
Man, oh man...such hate and vitriol for a guy who just happened to fail as a head coach at his alma-mater, where by all accounts he was a great Coug and is a very decent human being. That's all I have to say about that.
I’ve moved on from the coaching train wreck. I choose to focus on the Paul Wulff that suited up for the Apple Cup a couple of days after an emergency appendectomy.Attack and complain about his coaching all you want. I've done the same.
But attacking the man, his life and making fun of him is sophomoric and displays a lack of being intelligent enough to separate the two.
I'm not sure how it is applied, I think I heard at one point, but have since forgotten it. I'm really just basing it on the fact that we have the least vaccinated roster in the P12 at last check--again not a statement on vax vs. anti-vax, just the reality. I'm not saying as a conference it will happen a lot and I would imagine they will bend and stretch anyway to avoid it happening, but its gonna get a couple games and I'm betting at least once its ours.Along those lines, how is it determined if a kid can’t suit up?

I’m also not interested in political debate on this subject. I’m interested in the mechanics that could lead to a forfeit. Those seem unclear to me at this point. I’ve wondered about them for a while now.
The odds support your statement, phx. I hope you are wrong, but then I often bet against the odds. I'm hoping that if we have a cancelled game, it is one we would have been heavy favorites to lose...not one of the games that we have a realistic chance to win.I'm not sure how it is applied, I think I heard at one point, but have since forgotten it.

You know, with all the attention on Rolovich's vaccination status, I haven't seen anyone ask the related question:I'm not sure how it is applied, I think I heard at one point, but have since forgotten it.

I heard the vax status for students is very high...over 90%. Not sure if that is accurate or not. Heard football team is around 80%.You know, with all the attention on Rolovich's vaccination status, I haven't seen anyone ask the related question:
How many players will we lose after October 18?
There's really not an immediate consequence for students missing the deadline (at least, not one that's been advertised). They won't be able to register for spring classes and may be 'restricted from participating in campus events.' Maybe we won't lose any immediately, but what does 'restricted from participating' mean?
The vax rate for the students who have answered is pretty high. Over 90% at every campus except Tri-Cities, where it's just shy of 89%.I heard the vax status for students is very high...over 90%. Not sure if that is accurate or not. Heard football team is around 80%.
I don't think these numbers add up. School has started and the requirement was that either you're vaxxed or show proof, so how are these kids on campus yet doing neither?The vax rate for the students who have answered is pretty high.

Problem is that the response rate isn't great. Less than 80% of students at Pullman have provided any indication, less than 50% at all other campuses.
There's no public reporting of the football team status.
Scroll down to find vax data
The original requirement only applied to students living in campus housing. Other students were supposed to show that they've started the vaccination process by today...but there's not really much of a consequence if they miss today's deadline, especially if they attend outside of Pullman.I don't think these numbers add up. School has started and the requirement was that either you're vaxxed or show proof, so how are these kids on campus yet doing neither?
Kind of. I believe it was 70 percent or so have reported, and amongst that group 94 percent are vaccinated.I heard the vax status for students is very high...over 90%. Not sure if that is accurate or not. Heard football team is around 80%.
