I think we'll do better than that. I think our floor is 4 and our ceiling if everything pans out and we stay healthy at key positions is 2.

I think it’s fair. Love the direction we are headed but this isn’t going to be a overnight rebuild. I think we are still 2-3 years out.

I'm not surprised at all about this, but I also wouldn't be surprised if USU blew away everybody's expectations. Honestly this is the most unsure I've ever felt about a season lol. Really have no idea what to expect.

Seems fair to me. I do think we can finish 3rd or better in the division, but am not surprised by the ranking.

Is San Jose possibly on the up and up or is this just an outlier and they will be awful again for decades?

Roy, thank you so much for the compliment & especially for listening - greatly appreciate you! Yeah, I would LOVE to stop in - have a Q&A on football & good discussion on this upcoming season! I see bright spots that have me more optimistic than the preseason poll does of where the Aggies finish. Of course, how healthy they can stay, the death row stretch (Air Force, BYU, Boise State) & winning a couple key road games will play a big factor into it all.

It's surprising how little you guys actually talk about USU athletics on your radio program, it should be 70-80% of your content IMO (similar to KALL 700 and the Utes). When you do, it's rarely that insightful as to what's really going on behind the scenes but rather, is just conjecture or surface-level info.

Can you please get an insider on your program or someone who could actually share interesting information and discuss the topics related to USU that fans want to know about? Thanks.

Hi OCAggie, I do appreciate the suggestions & listening to the show. As the radio engineer for the Aggie Football/Basketball Radio broadcasts there is information I do receive - but 95% of the time I am not allowed to say anything or very little. Doing so could ruin the trust I have with USU Athletics that I've worked so hard to build with & get me in trouble. I'll do a better job of giving you numbers & stats on games & what I am hearing/seeing at practices. But in regards of "behind-the-scenes" stuff I'll be careful of what I share. I hope that makes sense, & if the answer is not to your satisfactory I do apologize. Hope all is well for you.

I understand there's a fine line on what you can and cannot share. That said, there's a massive void in quality Aggie sports news/information/sports talk that the SLC media (including USU's "flagship" station) outright refuses to cover. Your program has a great opportunity to fill some of that void but instead you talk mostly about baseball, Tom Brady, what you had for lunch, BYU and whatever else. Please talk more Aggies - that's all I'm saying.

Thanks for joining the convo.

As do I. I'd love to see an immediate turnaround, but am not expecting it.

Also these early season predictions aren't that scientific. Basically they go by your record last year and who you brought back and there you go. Hopefully we can surprise some people.

As much as I hope that the players and coaches feel "disrespected" by this ranking, I think it's right where they should be. I have faith in this new staff and I think that they've made a lot of solid progress roster-wise this offseason, but I just have a hard time sharing the optimism that many seem to feel.

I'm expecting 3-4 wins this year, and for other games (Boise State, BYU, etc.) to be much more competitive than last year. five or six wins would be a great season, and anything above that would just be incredible. I know last year was a weird season and there were a lot of crazy things that happened, but this year's team could be way, way better than last year and still not be very good. As long as they're making good progress though, I'll be happy.

Post by Chupamedia » July 21st, 2021, 7:58 pm

So is there any point in having insider info if you can never share? Seems like on the National scene breaking a story doesn’t ruin a sports journalist, but maybe a local market is different

As for the OP - I agree with those that say this is probably where we should be preseason, seems like the most likely scenario, but I think we can definitely do better. I would not be surprised to see is here at the end of the season, but still feel much more excited about the program to than last year.

I figure that's where we should be. This is also a great year to let money ride on the Aggies and the spread.

I know last year was a weird season and there were a lot of crazy things that happened, but this year's team could be way, way better than last year and still not be very good. As long as they're making good progress though, I'll be happy.
Even with the team last year with an interim coach and missing half the coaches we could have won 4 games.

My ranking of teams -

Probable losses:

Washington State - They have P5 recruiting and win at home. They compete with most teams in the PAC-12 and I expect them to come out improved over last year with an offseason with the new head coach. However, the toughest game on the schedule is usually a top 15 program. This year the most difficult game on the schedule features a team with some flaws and the potential for an upset if USU can win the turnover battle. I don't think this game will cause the injury report to expand like most money games in the past.

San Jose State - The defending Mountain West Champs have earned the right to be here (although I think Nevada will be better). They kept their coach and are playing with a lot of confidence after winning every regular season game last season with only a loss to Ball State in their bowl game, in a bowl game that saw many players out for the final game of the season.

Boise State - Even with a new coach I expect Boise will keep winning with their talented recruiting classes every season and lots of retuning starters. They have two QB's who would start for most MW teams. The new coach might finally be the one that fails , but I don't expect that to be the case.

BYU - I don't know what to expect, but with the amount of production lost I think they fall behind Boise but should still be able to beat USU. Any team on the schedule is beatable, and BYU has a lot of questions they will have answered after playing three PAS-12 South teams and USF. It's a rivalry game in Logan, so anything can happen.

Wyoming - They return a bunch of opt outs and players that had breakout seasons in 2021. The defense will keep them in every game. Their running game should be good, but Sean Chambers needs to get better for the offense to win games.

Air Force - Air Force this season, like every season has a lot of questions. However, they have proven that they will play their style of football at a high level every year.

Toss-up:

Hawaii - I'm not sure Todd Graham promoting his son to Offensive Coordinator is a good hire or not. I do know that they have a really good secondary but a suspect defensive line. If USU can run the ball, it could be trouble for a Hawaii defense that returns much of the same team that struggled last season.

Probable Wins:

New Mexico - This was a win last year, and while I think both teams will be improved with an offseason, I don't think they will improve enough.

Colorado State - Their best players are receivers, and slated QB1 Todd Centeio completed 38.9% of his 36 pass attempts last season as a backup to Patrick O'Brien who left for the transfer portal. They might need a few recruiting cycles to build the offense the way Addazio want to play, because it's still Bobo's players on the roster. They also want to run the ball, but only averaged 3.0 yards per carry last season. On special teams, Savon Scarver could have a great day if they kick to him. They have a punter in Stonehouse that is so good, he outkicks the coverage and special teams was allowing nice returns far to often.

UNLV - They are not good yet. Recruiting has been good, but it will take time before they are able to build the team.

North Dakota - FCS, and although they are a good FCS team, but still start with less scholarships. I don't see an embarrassing loss here.

New Mexico State - They got blown out by Tarleton State and almost lost to Dixie State just four months ago. They are the favorite for worst FBS team, and the only thing that scares me is their motivation will be high just to get a win.

So is there any point in having insider info if you can never share? Seems like on the National scene breaking a story doesn’t ruin a sports journalist, but maybe a local market is different

As for the OP - I agree with those that say this is probably where we should be preseason, seems like the most likely scenario, but I think we can definitely do better. I would not be surprised to see is here at the end of the season, but still feel much more excited about the program to than last year.
That's a great question. And one that I don't know how to answer. I love having the information, but feel completely....I don't want to say useless but - there's nothing I can do with it. I think you're right - working in a local market is A LOT different in so many ways, but especially having information.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It surprises me that this, the year of our lord 2021, people are still scared of Doug Hoffman and “losing access” but it is the old Mike Strauss/Doug Hoffman SID culture that has contributed as much or more to USU having the least “inside info” media coverage or any D1 school in the country.

Most schools will credential online sites and blogs and anything that gets them coverage. As far as I know USU still has in their media guide that they won’t credential any “chat sites”.

Lmaoooooo I was right.

Also, won’t credential anyone publishing gambling info? Guess that counts out ESPN, CBS, and virtually every national outlet that has embraced sports gambling.

This policy is so out of touch and out of date, but then again most everything in the media guide has remained the same since the early 2000s at least.

I wish they would have included the questions being asked in that video, either the recording of the question or post the question text in the video as he starts answering. A little hard to follow.

Was the safety he was talking about Bond?

Where did you pick the Spartans to be going into last year? I'm thinking there were a lot of morons with respect to that last year. If you weren't one of them, then kudos! You saw what a lot of us didn't, yet.

Where do you think we would be picked if the 2020 season never happened. We were down from a great season in 2019, but still went to a bowl. We change coaching staffs. We lose Love and have Bonner transferring in. We have all the other losses and additions to personnel.

Where do we get picked?
