Guessing they have the player’s rep meet with someone from the collective. Keep the coaches out of it.

CrimWalCoug

So ultimately it is the Collective that exchanges funds, negotiates, etc?

That's a pretty big a carrot to place in front of Memphis...

Yes- and Penny cares deeply about this

SBB

I'm sure Memphis knew about the potential invite before they said no.

Art Director

1:13pm

But, did they know that Gonzaga would accept and that it's actually happening?

Interesting- they have to add more teams now for sure beyond just Tulane and Mem

Leaving room for Hawaii as FB only?

I think Hawaii is in trouble football wise...

Seems like a knee jerk reaction to add anybody after the east coast schools turned them down much like when they invited

Greg Wrubell and Hans Olsen are TOP NOTCH! I watched the game at the stadium and

They are a good combo. Wrubbel is a little too excited for my tastes, but Hans is a good balance to him, and offers

Okay, this is pretty funny.

CougarLegend

12:48pm

Still no explanation for that terrible review that gave KSU 3 points.

The Y's Insider

12:48pm

There was not a good video angle of where the ball was when his toe hit the sideline...

Coug

12:50pm

There were 2 angles that showed his foot on the line and the ball at ~ the 1/2

The Y's Insider

12:52pm

ESPN showed a very clear angle. Both commentators were shocked at the ruling

Saxa

12:52pm

Huh? They had the angle right on the goalline

The Dark Knight

12:54pm

This was the smaller problem. It was clear when his foot touched down that the ball was short. (You can use info from 2

Video replay of the refs on Saturday night:

Doogal McCougar

1:02pm

The crew from the 2005 TCU game made an appearance

Indy Coug

12:52pm

It’s the “stands” vs “confirmed”. Call on the field was apparently going to stand either way. But WHY did they

mvtoro

12:53pm

The change to the on the field call is what I don't understand

The Dark Knight

12:55pm

This is where it bugs me. If there’s no video review coming I doubt any ref has the balls to huddle and override the guy

mvtoro

1:00pm

The only explanation that makes sense in my mind is that the official mis-spoke.

Mufasa

12:55pm

No. They actually called it a TD LONG after the play and while huddled.

The Y's Insider

12:57pm

Ah... I missed that part.

Mufasa

12:58pm

1) No. They announced TD as ruling on the field. 2) No way that video “overturns” a call that he stepped out.

mvtoro

12:57pm

Maybe they were confused on the standard to overturn the call. They thought they needed something clearer

Bob Vance

1:01pm

The more egregious error IMO was overriding (in huddle) the call of the ref who was closest to the play. I don’t think

mvtoro

1:04pm

I’m not sure us getting the ball at the 1/2 yard line would have been the best outcome.

SpecialT

Jake Retzlaff stats through four games.

CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

Get that % up 4 - 5 points then we’re cookin’

I agree. But there have also been lots of drops.

Every QB deals with drops.

BackPacker

12:53pm

Jake Retzlaff is not just a game manager. He is a dynamic playmaker throwing the ball.

CrimWalCoug

12:56pm

I think he's been in a tier between "game manager" & "really good" or "great".
