Colandrea Highlights....

Do you think Mullen is a home run hire, didn’t you say that? If so do you think he deserves the benefit of the doubt or do you think you know best? Nobody is predicting anything but I think if Mullen was the guy, you wait to gripe until next season, I will wait and see!
Pardon me if I'm the only one on the board without a Woodie over this guy. I don't think he sucks but he's not Homecoming King either.

Colandrea Yds - 2,125 TD - 13 INT - 11 QBR - 42.7

Williams Yds - 1,941 TD - 19 INT - 5 QBR - 62.9

Hell yes Mullen is a home run hire and knows QB's. But at the same time I can read. And his stats for this year are worse than Williams. And the idea that Williams was playing inferior competition doesn't really hold. If that was true then every QB in the MWC should be playing lights and every QB in the SEC should suck. Yes, Colandrea played against defenses that were better than MWC defenses - BUT he had an offense that also was P4 caliber. Compare apples to apples.

But according to Rebel.net, he sucks

I don't get a he sucks consensus.

I think more Mullen knows QBs and this is his guy. Have to trust his evaluation of him.

I think the one stat that does catch your eye is the TD/INT ratio if you were looking for a negative.

But based on the schools looking at him there's definitely reason for some optimism.

Mullen deserves his guy and has earned that but it wasn't Rebel Net who benched him at the end of the season.


I've read that described two ways. 1. He was benched for poor performance in the prior three games. or 2. He notified the staff he was going in the portal and they benched him.

The guy that replaced him had a poor performance in the final game. ( 9/36 0 TD 2 INT 54 QB rating)

CSU/USU suing MW over exit fees

Actually they turned down a 30 mil deal from ESPN after the LA schools left.

So how low were OSU and WAZZU's value to drop the overall value of that deal.

Well the big 10 and big 12 thought those schools were worth about 30 mil a piece. Neither conference thought that the remaining 2 schools were but there is no way they are worth less than 10 each on average. The math doesn't make sense if they were.

Now those schools are obviously worth less now tham with the others but I think many are really undervaluing their media worth.

Follow the money. The Pac 2 said no to merger for a reason and it wasn't just pride. They broke off because they knew they would make more even with potentially high up front costs.

Obviously things did not go as planned, but there is no way they are worth anything near what the new MW will be. We have some really poor markets and I think that will hurt us down the road.
Its more of ESPN offered $31m, and then Pac opened negotiations with a $50m counteroffer. Espn then completely withdrew their bid and walked away.

CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread

Obviously not many programs want him if he takes a couple of steps down from a top 25 p
Obviously not many programs want him if he takes a couple of steps down from a top 25 program to a top 50-75 program

Which is a surprise because he looks good or maybe they cut him a larger check than others because he is more valuable to them than to a bigger school.

You lost your mind about 'UNLV missing out on Malachi Nelson' for a bunch of 'FCS guys'. UNLV ends up with a chance at the CFP, while Malachi will be on to his third team in three years and was visiting UTEP of all places.

So pot kettle black and all that when calling out people for not trusting coach evaluations.

When you’re the optimistic one, we are in trouble. 🤣

Please take that with the humor that’s intended.

Got a Quarterback

That's not entirely accurate... Sluka beat Hajj out after basically 3 weeks in camp. Hajj was here all Spring and summer. The fact that Sluka struggled with his passing in 2 road games vs Big 12 defenses is an aberration and because he walked away we will always have a jaded view and never got to see him get into real rhythm. There was certainly a talent gap and we got the most out of Hajj we could've expected but his struggles vs Boise and Cal show why he got beat by a guy with 3 weeks of practice... again, our judgement on the matter is skewed because Sluka quit.
We may dislike him more because of it but it doesn’t make his passing better. I saw him play last year and said when he came that he could run but was an inaccurate passer and missed guys too many times for my comfort and we didn’t see anything to change that perception.

Burrell to Texas State

If it was that boneheaded a move, and the agent was the reason, it is another step towards me wondering why more players haven't started to sue the agents?

Just a theory but I can definitely see it play out that way.

He tests portal. Options aren't as great as he thinks in the meantime UNLV brings in another runningback now he has to weigh where his best opportunity is for playing time.

Oh there are definitely going to be some of these agents/handlers getting into trouble sooner or later.

He very well may have just wanted to leave Vegas. Lots of guys leave their home towns want to get out experience something new.

I have no issue with guys leaving. Just hope they are getting good direction when they do.
