With a new college football stadium and an upgrade on results... we'll see 40k butts in seats with or without NFL football in town. The unfortunate issue here is, given the conference SDSU plays in, there is little margin for error in what that upgrade on results would have to be. And I do not mean that SDSU is somehow superior to the others in the MWC - just the obvious issue that it is not viewed as a 'major' conference that people are interested in watching. No doubt the folks in Wyoming don't get overly excited about SDSU coming to their stadium to play football either. So as I said, this leaves SDSU with the task of having to go 12-0, 11-1, or 10-2 every year with their only losses to 'acceptable' teams on their schedule... in my view, understanding sports as they really are, this is easier said than done. And, yes, I recognize it can be done it's just not as simple as some suggest. It starts with having a very good QB and going from there. Boise has managed to recruit QBs who produced at an above average to excellent level. Something Sipe/Rocky & Co have fallen short at. |

Agreed, but your blame goes to Sipe & Hoke, predominantly, and in that order. Given that we finally have what might be a good tandem at OC & QB coach... we'll see how things go from here. |

I have a rivals account and can barely ever recall the Q being mentioned by recruits as a deciding factor in their decision making process. The fact that you mention tOSU coming to SDSU on the road shows how little you know about scheduling. Take a look at tOSU, Michigan, and other blue bloods of football. Check how many OOC road games they even play most years...then check how many of those are against G5 teams. SDSU's recruiting has improved over the last 5 years because we started winning...not because of the Q...but in spite of it. As a formed SDSU athlete who lived next door to Kirk and others on the Blackshirt Dz(oh the parties we had) back in the day they never really made a big deal about playing in the Q. Thats just some garbage for people in denial about the state the Q is in to chew on and believe. You're funny, you say I have nothing to back it up, I provide evidence in the form of Pitt's awful recruiting, and then you get all flustered. The bowls will stay when the Chargers get the DT stadium they really want and not the MV they are pretending they are ok with for the moment. Hey Genius....Ohio State was suppose to play at the Q but Rick Bay sold it back to them, hence 3 straight trips to Columbus. your "evidence" as you call it is without evidence. i.e. You've got NOTHING. What's your motivation in this thread? Do you just want to argue? Go kick your cat or whatever. Did you look at B10 team's schedules? I was simply pointing out that they typically only play 1 OOC road game a year and usually its at a P5. In other words based on the current world, and not back in the Rick Bay days, its pretty dang hard to get a B10 school, especially tOSU to come to SD. That's a fact. My motivation is to keep the conversation in the middle, where the truth most likely is... |

This is the start and ending of the truth about the last 2 seasons. Im glad Sipe is no longer on the staff, hopefully it will show up in the results this season. |

I am not trying to so much argue the point because I do realize it can be done. I just don't think it's as simple as people think. We all can draw up exactly one example of a team that has done 'it' for a long period of time and that is Boise. And I commend them for the job they have done, it is not simple or easy and it also takes a bit of luck along they way... you do need a good/great QB but there are many other things that have to fall into place too. Again, we can all have our opinions on this subject and mine is just that, an opinion. |
