For some peace and calm.

Doc Severinson’s City Lights.

How good is your neighborhood turnout for these meetings? We are lucky if we get 2 or 3 (118 houses) besides the board.

I have to water every single damn day if I want a green lawn. And I don’t have a sprinkler system. Let it go brown last year.

So what got wild?

I once had to verbally slap my neighbor across the street. Almost called her a racists (but didn’t) because she kept turning in her new neighbor (Vietnamese) for small shit…..and SHE WASNT EVEN IN TOWN TO WITNESS THINGS at the time. Guy hadn’t even been there for 2 days!

We put up a radar speed sign that collects data (times, speed). And that’s what I point to when this comes up: 1.7% more than 5 mph over limit. 27% between and 1-5 mph over limit.

Limit in my neighborhood is 20 mph

I’m a no speed bumps guy based on that kind of data.

We do that too. But every spring they walk it with the board to see what’s important to the board to focus on.

Problem with lawns…by the time the notice gets to the homeowner, they’ve usually already mowed!

That’s the way mine is…and I’m on the board!

Biggest issue: speeding thru the neighborhood. How to stop.

I definitely agree with the last. I’m just not sure we see Utah or Calford again without major shakeups elsewhere.

Some people (both Cougs and Beavs) are saying this over on X. Don’t know where they heard it…..so rumors.

Maybe this would be a stopgap (cheap option) to get to 8 teams then go after Memphis and Tulane after settling the lawsuit with MW? 🤷‍♂️

So rumors flying about Texas St hoping the Pac by Feb 1. What does everyone think about that?

And I found (and pinned) the feed.

You can add me.

Good interview. I hope that she is successful going forward. She is a Coug thru and thru. #GoCougs

I’m not worried. Just looking forward to him in Pullman. I hope we can put forth a package that can keep him long term. Although the package for asst coaches needs to improve to keep Brad coaches.

Me too. I think it’s a very good hire. The question is how long can we keep him if he has success?

Merry Christmas to everyone!

How do you mean?

That’s what it is currently at least.

Problem is they’re cutting $14 mill from the athletic budget for next year. That would mean more cuts for coaches salaries.

Dickert was $2.7.

CougFan says to expect HC salary to be more in line with other NewPac schools: around $1.5. I think that limits us to an FCS coach.

So if the Cougs have a chance at landing Ben Arbuckle as HC, do we like that idea?

Yes him.

There are some Cougs that are successful HS coaches, but do they wanna give that up for the shitshow that will be our program next year. 19 players in the portal, brand new coaching staff. AND I’m waiting for decommitments from the latest recruiting class because Dickert is leaving.

What IS new is this: Took a 10% pay cut last year. Looking at a $14 million cut to athletics overall for next year. Going to a “low paying” P4 school whose last coach made $4.8 mill/yr almost doubling his salary. I don’t blame him for jumping ship.

Commenting twitter is saying Arbuckle as potentially new HC?

We tried that. And had a 1-11 season.

Yes he did.

I wouldn’t say today is Day 1. I’d say it’s more like day 496. And the hits keep coming.

That’s the only avenue we have: Take an FCS coach. But who wants to jump on board when the athletics budget is taking a $14 million hit?

Let’s just fold the program and put all the fb money into basketball and baseball.

With all the transfers and schools opting out of bowl games, maybe it’s time to go the NCAA Bball tournament route. Take top 24 teams and play the CFP. maybe then we won’t have players quitting on their team before the bowl game.

Will the Cougs even have enuf to field a team?
