Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Cal-Eastern Washington Pregame Open Thread

It's Saturday Morning Bears. Keep in mind you have to wake up early for next week's game regardless, so consider this target practice for the larger goal ahead.

First though we start with some real, legit Eastern Washington highlights from last season! And from the looks of it, it seems they cobbled together every Eagle highlight they could find and smashed it into one video to see what they would get.

If you don't find "HONOR" and "PRIDE" in a team that just went on probation, where can you find it?

This thread is for the discussion of morning games, leading up to the Cal-EWU kickoff. Here are some last links

As for the other games to watch beforehand, here are the notes:

  • Furd-Wake Forest should be on ESPN360.com, although there is a possibility of blackout. This is our first real look at the Cardinal this season and whether they will pose a legitimate threat in the Pac-10. We have briefly talked about Wake Forest's problems (and the rest of the slate) in the Pac-10 primer. norcalnick might be the only one in the world who finds this the most interesting game of the week.
  • I’m almost more interested in the Stanford/Wake Forest than USC/Ohio St. In part that’s because I’ll actually be able to watch the furd. Wake on the road is probably their most difficult game in a month (unless the Washington revival is real) and they’d be staring 5-0 in the face. If Luck can carve up Wake’s defense I’ll be even more scared of the Big Game.
  • Michigan-Notre Dame is of course the highlight of the afternoon, mostly for historical purposes. We're kind of rooting for Michigan, only to hasten the removal of the Irish from the BCS picture.
  • UCLA-Tennessee's first half should transition you nicely to Cal-Eastern Washington. AERose has this to say.
  • The thing I see getting UCLA here—and I’m basing this off of very little, is that Tennessee has better offensive depth than UCLA has defensive depth, so Price et al are going to have to come off the field at some time or another, at which point they’re going to get hammered. So I guess I’m predicting that UCLA keeps it close through the half, but the Vols start running downhill in the championship rounds (as it were).

Harsha, our resident Bruin fan, believes his team has bigger issues to deal with.

I’m significantly less worried on the Tenn Offense vs our defense. I’m far more concerned about being torn apart on our offense. Young untested QB in a pretty intimidating stadium behind a very green and shaky O-line. If Kevin Prince can’t get the pass game going, the safeties are likely to play in and kill the run game.

That's all for now. Twist will have the gamethreads up sometime before kickoff.

Chron article on receivers:

“The confidence level between the quarterbacks and receivers is way higher than it was last year, and it shows,” Riley said. “They’re going out and make plays for you, and it makes the game a lot easier.”

After his 1-for-5 start, Riley completed 7-of-his-next-10 for 99 yards and a touchdown, including a 12-yard reception in which Jones simply outmuscled his defender. When Riley finally settled in for the performance that earned him Pac-10 Player of the Week honors, Jones caught a 42-yard touchdown pass despite having his left arm pinned to his body by Nolan Carroll.

“That really doesn’t stop me from getting the ball,” said Jones, who couldn’t decide which of his three catches was his favorite. “Actually, my favorite receiver play was (Tucker’s) block on Jahvid’s 73-yard touchdown run.”

“They’re having a lot fun and that’s great to see,” coach Jeff Tedford said. “They’re excited for one another. It’s not all about me, me, me.”

S’got nothing to do with ranking. Rankings change on a weekly basis, television schedules are (for the most part) complete before the season begins.

It’s all about ratings. Think about it – year in, year out, regardless of how terrible they are, Notre Dame is on NBC every Saturday. People all across the country, for some unknown reason, will watch Notre Dame all day long. Think about it – what other team has a guaranteed coast-to-coast broadcast on a major network?

Sadly, rankings mean almost nothing to TV execs.

Based on the limited play I’ve seen so far, I would really say that Riley is the best QB in the Pac10 right now. I’d put Luck second… really. I’ve seen Prince and he’s nothing to worry about… so far, neither is Barkley. As for Sullivan… mark my words… Sullivan = Longshore. They look alike, play alike, have similar arm strength, throw similar types of balls and have similar mobility.

I wouldn’t draw any conclusions about Barkley based on the SJ State game. USC didn’t ask him to do anything remotely difficult.

Publicly saying your teams will always have a decided schematic advantage and then proceeding to have a winning record worse than Tyrone Willingham may be construed as being a dick.

Without having done anything other than win with Tyrone Willingham’s players. So yeah, bit of a dick. You should look up reports of what he did when he was trying to recruit Terrelle Pryor. The guy is the absolute height of arrogance.

by yellow fever on Sep 12, 2009 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

Here

Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis figured Terrelle wouldn’t be able to cut it as a QB, so his backup plan was to use him as a wideout for Notre Dame. This was back in 2007 when he tried — and failed — to recruit TP.

Can you believe this clown?

He also thought that if Terrelle spent just 3 days under his tutelage, that he’d be transformed into a show stoppin’ QB.

If he’s with me for one day he’ll be good, two days he’ll be great and three days he’ll be incredible."

To add insult to injury, TP’s coach at Jeannette, Ray Reitz, was not a fan of Weis, calling him "arrogant as hell". Get in line RR. People have been talking about Weis’ arrogance for years now; and not just fans of opposing programs. Former players and alums aren’t too fond of him either.
