Chris Petersen Gets a Raise
Chris Petersen will be staying at Boise St. for at least a year after leading the Boise St. Broncos to another fine season, going 12-1 and getting thoroughly shafted by the Sugar Bowl on the logic that Virginia Tech would travel well. This would fit the scuttlebutt that Petersen is staying put for...
Penn State Won't Give Up on Pursuit of Chris Petersen
As the Penn State search for a replacement for Joe Paterno stretches into perhaps January, Idaho continues to be a stop on the quest. Reports continue to point to Boise State coach Chris Petersen as #1 on the Nittany Lion wish list. Supposedly a Penn State search committee member has made two trips...
Butler Boise St: Why Can't We Play Like That?
Here's my weekly opining at the SB Nation.com mothership. I explored some of these themes a while back, but after Stevens made another championship game run and Petersen's record now stands at 61-5, it's even more relevant today. The logic - promulgated by a media beguiled by the Great Man...
BlogPoll Preseason College Football Top 25 Rankings: Why Limit Ourselves to Looking Ahead to 2012?
(Author’s Note: The rankings following the jump are intended in jest. Bring your sense of humor with you. You have been warned.) Our good friend (and soon-to-be conference coeval) Bill Connelly, of whom I made mention earlier today after he gave Mark Richt the credit due him (and thereby almost...

Lots of buzz today about the ending of last night's Fiesta Bowl, where Stanford coach David Shaw's conservative approach in the final minutes of the game may have cost the Cardinal one of the program's biggest win in school history. Oklahoma State had tied the game with 2:35 remaining. After a...

Threat level fat chance Having successfully spurned the $4 million advances of the UCLA Bruins, Chris Petersen is now available for an entirely new set of rumors. How about Penn State ones? A report from Pennsylvania's Morning Call newspaper revealed that Chris Petersen is high on Penn State's...
Bruin Bites: We Still Don't Have a Head Coach Edition
Yeah, so Rick has been out 10 days and Chianti Dan has managed to completely flounder with a coaching search that has been a total joke. Of course, for those who have been following Chianti Dan's every-increasing tone-deaf stupidity, it is hardly asurprised that our coaching search feels sloppy...
Bruin Bites: Chianti Dan is the Worst Athletic Director in the Nation Edition
It's been a crazy week around UCLA, with the coaching search feeling more like a roller coaster than an intelligently planned, well-executed hiring process. Oh, yeah, that's right: Chianti Dan is in charge, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that our coaching search feels sloppy and half-ass....
