Half the conference is going bowling. We've certainly had more in prior years, but the middle/bottom of the conference was down more than usual so this is what we get.

Holiday Bowl - Dec 27th - WSU vs Minnesota
Foster Farms Bowl - Dec 28th - Utah vs Indiana
Alamo Bowl - Dec 29th - Colorado vs Oklahoma State
Sun Bowl - Dec 30th - Stanford vs North Carolina
Peach Bowl - Dec 31st - UW vs Alabama
Rose Bowl - Jan 1st - USC vs Penn State

Good luck guys. Looks like a hell of a lineup.

Back to the emerald city I be. Went from 80 degrees to 35 degrees. Lame.....

That's a nice looking bowl schedule. Bama it is.

I didn't even think of the sark aspect.

3 of 4 Playoff teams are elite recruiters

Arizona lost their DB coach and best recruiter. Then their best recruit decommited

Love the home stretch for LOI day with all the chaos of coaching changes. Always entertaining.

Some good reads for killing time.

That was -14 at open yesterday, it climbed to -17 on some boards by this morning and it's still rising. Not sure what price point Washington bettors start climbing in, but so far it's a bloodbath on the market for Bama in this range.

Some were expecting an announcement by this weekend but that was overly optimistic Duck honks. Appears the search and interview process will be another week or more.

Ducks have a class to salvage and are going to want someone in place going into Jan to keep what's left and attempt some late January flips to build some hype. Phil and Nike will be using their influence to assist with this.

Ducks so far have interviewed USF's Willie Taggart, Boise State's Bryan Harsin, and Ohio State Defensive Coordinator Greg Schiano.

Another name being mentioned is Miss St. coach Dan Mullens who may get an interview this week. Same with P.J. Fleck.

That's a big blow to Zona as they need some seriously good rebuild mojo after the season they had. Wouldn't shock me if that recruit ends up at Nebraska. He did visit them.

Report: Christian McCaffrey will enter 2017 NFL draft

Would be a big blow for Stanford

Daniel Green- 3* LB from Oregon decommits from USC. Usually when a 3* decommits it's because they see the school getting feelers from higher ranked players at that position and the staff tells him he's free to look for a landing spot. Or his grades or test scores weren't up to par.

Always sad to see a kid having to do this, but at least it happened with time for him to find a landing spot.

I'm thinking it's more an issue with grades or test scores. The class is no where full. They will be taking 10 more kids so I'm thinking they are letting him decommit rather than say he doesnt have the grades.
I can see USC getting some serious love from recruits the next month with the season they are having.The coaching seems to be solidified and there's a chance they finish in the top 6 .

Per John Canzano of the Oregonian Oregon has interviewed at least 8 so far. 5-6 while Mullens was in Texas and a few more since traveling to NY.
