Dumb.This conference should be assigned to the Group of Six (a.k.s. gropesex). It is truly a noncompetitive conference this bowl season.

Larryuuuuuu! Laryuuuuuu!
Man, other than UofA and probably Cal - not many gimmes on that schedule. Prolly be 3 point underdogs to BYE, let alone BYU.
Schedule looks pretty weak.
I don’t think Kliff would’ve gone somewhere he can’t run the offense he wants
Then again the same was true about Matt Canada and LSU...
You gotta understand about Matt Canada's situation that was more of Eddie O handicapping him & changing the offensive gameplans. Watch the bowl game LSU was in against Notre Dame,Odgeron made his business to sabotage Canada's offense in that game
I don't think many teams would hire Kingsbury and not let him call plays.Helton basically shoved Tee Martin over and told him he was gonna run the offense now, after Martin proved woefully incapable of running anything other than recruiting (which he was actually very good at).
So I don't know if Helton will actually allow KK to be semi-autonomous as an OC, or if he wants KK as basically a caddy and sometime offensive consultant while Helton goes back to running the offense (into the ground).
It's just harder to get kids to travel far from home to play.
Yeah, but I don't think he is a good exampleMINSHEW
I am pretty sure it's associated with fewer kids playing football in youth and high school programs in California, and most of the country really. It's still king in the south, but you see the foundation of youth football taking a hit all over the rest of the country now.
Even here in my area, which is not a football place by any means, you see significantly fewer kids playing youth football. The number of teams is down. There are only so many kids athletic enough to play CFB, and the numbers going down everywhere but the south has to make to harder for PAC 12 schools. It's just harder to get kids to travel far from home to play.
Of course FALK is from my town, but he is the rare exception (and he was developed in more competitive CA HS leagues before coming back to Logan to play here) around here.
It is happening, but I not lamenting it. I would discourage my kids from playing football, hell even from playing sports. It wasted a lot of time for me growing up.Lol @Wooly - you sound like another poster on another board I frequent who laments the state of football in America, especially in the West, and especially as it pertains to the waning fortunes of USC football.
Basically he laments the changing demographics (Asians and Latinos make lousy footbaw players) of the student body, the state, and the West in general.
I counter that finding 85-ish freakishly athletic kids to play footbaw for you is no harder now than it was 20, 30, 50 years ago. Heck, identifying them is easier today because of the plethora of camps, skills seminars, private coaches and the like.
The overall number of kids participating in football might be lower as a percentage of the population, but I think the kids who do participate in it are better trained and more highly skilled on the average than their dads and granddads.
He has a point about the football demographics too. Asians and Latinos are just smaller on average. No amount of training is going to make them big enough to play D1 football. CA demographic changes don't bode well for college football in the West. Not a bad thing per se, just reality.
Well yeah. This guy laments the changing demographics for reasons besides football, too - so you can imagine why I dislike him. In the case of Asians, not only are they smaller, but they also tend not to participate in sports, period. Most Asian parents I know look at sports as diversion and recreation, not as something to put serious time and effort into, except as it pertains to helping their child earn a college scholarship. So that's why most of the ones who do play sports, tend to play individual sports like golf or tennis or swimming where size and athleticism is far less important than in team sports like basketball and football.
But this guy's particular beef, as I eventually sussed out, is that his kids did not get into USC, despite him being an alum and a donor, and basically he blames it on USC (like many other California schools) favoring admissions of foreign (mostly Mainland Chinese, Injuns, and Koreans) students over California resident kids.
He extrapolates the changing face of USC's student body as meaning there's less interest in USC football, meaning less donations, meaning less money to compete with the SEC big boys, which means a Western football program will never again come close to winning a title.
of course CLOWNZANO thinks this is the most clever thing
