Washington State hires South Dakota State HC

What do you think of the actual hire? What's the consensus among Cougs fans?

Not taking shots here, I think New Mexico may have actually made the better hire. Eck completely rebuilt Idaho program with limited resources. Vs Rogers who took over a program that was already rolling similiar to Bobby Hauck.
Scroll up to read my thoughts. But to summarize, I think this is a shit hire. We could and should have done much better.

My idiot Coug brethren? Most of them think this is a home run hire. And that Rogers apparently bringing his entire staff of completely non-FBS experienced coaches with zero West Coast ties is great news. And that he apparently will be bringing a bunch of his FCS players to bolster the roster is wonderful news.

4 Star visit

He has potential. Sign the man.

Here is the highlight on him from this article: https://www.si.com/college/louisville/football/jahlil-mcclain-enters-portal

"The 5-foot-11, 180-pound receiver was a highly-ranked prospect coming out of high school, but didn't see the field much in his two years as a Cardinal. He redshirted his true freshman campaign due to injury, and played just 14 total snaps across three games in 2024. He took six snaps at wide receiver and one on special teams vs. Austin Peay, then seven special teams snaps across the Virginia and Clemson games.

A product of Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco, McClain was regarded as a high three-star prospect in the 2023 cycle. He came in as the No. 599 recruit in the Class of 2023, per the 247Sports Composite."

OT: Best 80s movie ALL-TIME

It's definitely high on the list but I might put Caddyshack ahead of it. Or Airplane.

Army and UNLV

I would have liked to go back to the Guaranteed Rate Bowl vs the other Kansas team, we would have been a better draw than Rutgers.
Big12 vs B1G tie in. We were lucky last year that the B1G couldn’t get a team in.

LA Bowl was better, played an ACC team. Better than potato bowl or Arizona bowl. Only would have been interested in the Hawaii bowl.
I would disagree that it was a "crappy" bowl game. The top team in the MW is chosen for the LA Bowl (if they don't go to the national playoffs). I believe that UNLV got $1.6 million for it.
Helps with the Dan Mullen contract fund.

Even more context..

Now to be fair hockey has the most amount of 'luck' of the major sports. Harmless shot from 20 feet out catches a skate takes weird angle goes in. Your team dominates puck possession triples the opponents high danger chances and somehow you're down 1-0 or 2-0.

If UNLV played Denver 10 times they are probably losing 9 of them. This just happened to be the one. And it's pretty damn impressive regardless.
Luck my ass. My REBELS are just too GOOD. :cool:

UNLV Hockey

"Do you believe in miracles".............It can happen especially in an exhibition game. I guarantee you after 2nd intermission when they came out for the 3rd period Denver wasn't treating it like an exhibition game. Did they even post a line? Can you imagine Moneyline +25000
whatever the Howard vs UNLV (sorry for the reminder) line was and multiply that by a couple thousand and that would be the line. UNLV is just a club team playing a storied college hockey program that’s won multiple championships with multiple nhl draft picks.

It’s a huge win, adds legitimacy to unlv hockey.

Line ‘em up: Predictions and Game Thread Fresno

Even if we win out, I don't think there is saving interest. Offseason will need coach search posts on all socials. We are no longer stopping the bleeding, we are full blood transfusion mode. I am glad we won, for the players, and nothing more.
Harper seem seem uneasy greeting people making his rounds when only 5k in the seats. I don't know if wins alone can save kruger from that aspect of an disinterested following.. but its the same thing every year. Wait till next year. Well everyone constantly waiting until next year and same result.
