Azzani ran him off by dog cussing him every practice in front of the whole team. P-Willy has a different type personality and did not respond well to Azzani's abuse. It wasn't tough love because there was no talking it out to it. Azzani threatened to kill him in one practice in front of the team, coaches, and visitors when I was there. Looks like P-Willy maturing and a different coaching style has helped him do well. Imagine that.

P-Willy maturing... except he'd been suspended since last year from the team out there for arrests and assaults.

Mike Bobo returns to Colorado State football team ahead of season opener vs. Hawaii

This is kinda scary. No wonder they don't look as ready as expected.



Apparently he missed 10 days of camp and has to coach from the booth.

Neuropathies suck. I've dealt with this for years, including a spell where I missed work for over two months. Having people who support you during the bad times are very important. CBD oil has helped me a lot, thanks to some posters on here.

Yeah as much as I’d like to blame Butch for Williams, he just seems like the type of kid who was gonna be a headache and bounce around a bit no matter what.

If anything, Butch’s mistake was not getting a better read on Williams’s character during his recruitment.

So Frank, I mean @Freak I just noticed a random WVU poster who joined four days ago and only has ~61 posts is regarded as a "well-known" member. I want my stars back or at least a more exclusive title.:mad:

Lol. Only takes 50 posts to be "well known". Freak was looking for suggestions on what to use instead of the default titles. Or you could always give yourself a custom title.

Ya have to think this coulda been handled differently.

And I think back on the time vs. GA, when Hurd let up short of the goal line and got the ball stripped; you know he felt like crap right then, and didn't need CBJ yellin right in his face. What if he had just put his arm around him instead and said I know you can do better; go make it happen.

Just think, guys,... This time next week we'll be 1-0 and the prognosticators will be scratching their heads.

It’s just math.

In the financial markets some people invest/trade based on fundamental analysis. Others use an approach called technical analysis. Fifty years ago technical analysis was perceived similar to junk science. Today most traders regardless of size prefer technical analysis over fundamental analysis. Technical analysis is really just math based on historical data.

I’ve been studying our unit efficiencies over the past 13 years (2005-2017) in an effort to project where we might finish this year. Without getting into a lot of TL:dnr stuff, I’m going to cut to the chase. I have our offense finishing 2018 with an efficiency rating of 66.5 which should be good for 28th best in the nation. I have our defense finishing the season with a rating of 73.1 which will put us at the 20th best defense among all 130 power 5 teams. I have our special teams unit finishing at 64.8 which should land us at 8th best in the country. Overall I have the 2018 team ending up with a rating of 72.1 at the end of the year which should see us finishing the season ranked nationally as the 20th best team in the country.

A phenomenon known as the anchoring bias is the obvious explanation why so many people can’t see the potential of our football team this year. Too many people are anchored to the 2017 performance of the team to make an objective cognitively unbiased assessment of our team for the 2018 season. In the market 2017 would be considered a capitulation move. It’s the bottom. Everyone gives up. It’s the perfect buying opportunity. It’s also counterintuitive. Fear is at a maximum. Only the bold and brave will have the nerve to take advantage of such an opportunity. Jmo.

So I have this year as our 5th best offense relative to the period studied, our 3rd best defense, and our best special teams unit of all 13 years (owing to the philosophy of only playing our best players on special teams). This would be our overall 3rd best team relative to the most recent 13 years of our history. TIFWIW.

Isn’t it basically impossible to project this given that we’ve got new schemes on both sides of the ball that we’ve never really seen any of our guys play in? We don’t know how healthy we’ll stay or who’s gonna start at some key spots still.


Also, I don’t think we’re gonna see better STs than we did in 2015 for quite a while. Medley’s FG struggles aside, our coverage and return units were great that year and Daniel was as good of a punter as anyone in the country had. We won the hidden yardage and field position battle in basically every game we played that year. And punting is a big question mark for us this year.
