Finally....An Update

Been real busy lately, so pardon the lack updates. But nothing has really happened, at least football-wise, until now. And what happened? Stanford went and got itself a new football coach. They came down to my neighborhood and snatched up Jim Harbaugh from the University of San Diego. USD is a 1-AA team, but they could probably beat up on their neighboring 1-A brother, San Diego State. Not sure if that says Harbaugh is a really good coach or if SDSU is just a really bad football team. Either way, Harbaugh gets a chance to prove himself at a higher level. Is it a good hire for the Cardinal? Well, he can at least coach pretty well, but recruiting is the name of the game. And at an educational institution like Stanford, it's going to be a tougher go. Just to avoid embarrassment for the Pac-10, lets hope he gets the team turned around quick. And at this point, there is nowhere for Stanford to go but up.

In other Pac-10 news, Idaho lost their head football coach to a Pac-10 team, then replaced him with another Pac-10 coach. Robb Akey, WSU's defensive coordinator, is taking over the reins from Dennis Erickson. Don't know much about Akey, but the WSU defense was average at best last season. We shall see how that translates to the WAC. At least Erickson left the Vandals in good shape for Akey.......

This just in....UCLA has a really good basketball team. And they're recognized as the #1 team in the country. Arizona has looked pretty solid too, and they're #9. But where is the love for the Ducks at? They're undefeated at 10-0 and only #21 in the AP poll. There are six(!) teams with two losses ranked ahead of Oregon. I realize they haven't played the greatest schedule, but neither have any of the other schools aside from Butler. Did I mention the Ducks are undefeated? There are only four other schools who have yet to record a loss. #21 AP? Really? I call shenanigans.
