Yep, Cal and Virginia were very good this season. The only other team to beat Cal besides Ohio State in the Rose Bowl was another OSU. That's right. Oregon State. Biggest win of the season. Too bad we couldn't do the same against USC and Oregon. Oh well, there is always next season.

Coaching Carousel

Mike Stoops fired, Steve Sarkisian hired in Arizona

Arizona has decided to part ways with Mike Stoops after a 4-8 season. The Wildcats have not performed up to expectations under his tenure as head coach. It was only a matter of time before Stoops would be out. It only took a week for the University of Arizona to decide on their next coach. USC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian accepted the job. Sarkisian was optimistic on the future of the program, "I really see this program as a hidden gem in the Pac-10 that is just waiting to get back to the former desert swarm of the past. We'll get it turned around."

Mike Gundy fired, Todd Graham hired at Oklahoma State

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy may be a man but he has not been a very good coach as the Cowboys finished with a 3-9 record this year. Oklahoma State is now a 1-star program as Gundy has run the program into the ground with a horrible last few seasons. Stillwater will turn to Tulsa for their new coach as Todd Graham has accepted the position as the new OSU head coach.

Do hirings and firings always happen when you name all the coaches? Or did you just make that up to make the story better.

[Emac78]

I just change the playbooks and coaching philosophies of the teams that have coaching changes. I figure that if a team is sucking for a long time then they would probably make changes eventually. I'm not sure if the changes only affect the sim games or if they also affect the games I play and watch.

[Emac78]

Rossner should be back along with Quinn next year unless they decide to make a really dumb decision and enter the NFL draft. I'll try and get a recruiting update up tonight. No promises though.

Beavers have the 6th best recruting class


(left) DE Brandon Webb (right) CB John Biggers

Oregon State surprised everybody on the recruiting trail this year as the Beavers finished with the 6th best recruiting class. Who says that you can't recruit elite talent to play in Corvallis? Because that is exactly what Mike Riley has been able to do. The Beavers landed two five-star prospects in CB John Biggers and DE Brandon Webb that should hopefully help Oregon State move on without DE Kevin Frahm and CB David Ross who will start their NFL careers soon. OSU also added the 2nd best TE in Adam Banks and added more receivers to a roster that is loaded at WR. Oregon State was able to steal WR David Baker from Big-12 country in Nebraska. There is a lot of talent on this roster however the Beavers were unable to land any big names on the offensive line so the glaring weakness for Oregon State was not addressed. Though Riley does think that C Chad Green and ATH Ray Marshall who is 6'8 and 305 pounds will have an immediate impact on the offensive line. Only time will tell if this class is as good as advertised.

^I'm gonna have to remember that in this UAB dynasty I just started.

[Emac78]

I didn't know that about the walk-ons. Actually, I think I'm going to let the CPU do the recruiting for me this year. Having the 6th best class at Oregon State is kind of ridiculous. Hopefully, the CPU makes it more realistic.
