Coach Gould and his staff secured 7 or 8 early verbals, they get big credit.

No wonder Hawk loves Speckman. He started all 40 of his college games at linebacker, andhe was a finalist to become the HC at Portland State. Most recently he sued the DMV in Wisconsin for making his life unnecessarily tough to get a driver's license, even though he had been driving for decades.

This clip is great, takes a few minutes for him to get warmed up.

UUUGGHHHHH.

I think 22 young men graduate.

FYI, Speckman plays the trombone, and Asst, RB Coach Jim Chapin will not be retained. Best wishes, coach... Lugga had a great year, as did Kelley.

More about Will Martin Letter of Intent:

Los Angeles Times: OCC Trio Moving On

"An engineering major and National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete, Martin said his selection was based in large part on academic opportunities at UC Davis.

"He made a decision based on his future," Pirates Coach Kevin Emerson said. "I'm very proud of him."

Martin was also impressed by the enthusiasm of the UC Davis coaching staff, who continued to pursue the 6-foot-2, 300-pound lineman even after he sustained an injury.

"They kept that interest when they found out I had torn my knee up and stayed with me while I was rehabbing it," Martin said.

Hawkins is definitely hiring coaches with experience, and experience in top positions... Not first timers.

Who will be the OC? That is the biggie, and that person has to be OK with Hawk hiring his staff.

What killed the west coast offense?

I agree we need to juice up the O, become far less predictable, and use our SA intelligence to our advantage. I thought we had a good strategy vs Oregon, and that seemed to end. I'm sure Gould would argue losing 2 or 3 Centers was critical.

BTW, how many trick plays did we run this year, 1?

Does NDSU still run the option ?

6'3", 300# center...go Ags!

... And Gould reportedly landed fast, talented WRs.

If I was a player I'd be excited.

Wow...any examples of programs that run it?

Didn't Bozner and Nujic leave early? We've had a high turnover rate.

Sweet. Probably also Sam Young, Jeff Ramsey, Coach V., Arp...

You're right, great arm but other issues....I think I read this young man has already graduated Unsure how many years he has left.

Boise State QB Tommy Stuart transferring, former 1 year Butte College MVP , "wheels, energy"...Bronco Country blog fan speculates he is transferring for PT. One fan speculates we are an option.

Like 6'10" Nolan Berry?

Some wonder if Les' coaching style impedes player confidence.

I still feel odd about the name change, how they took the old IM photos offof Rec Hall walls, and then they also took the historic athletic photos out of the hallways in Hickey Gym. ... like Rec Hall wasn't good enough... huh? ... when an alum donates big bucks, we could rename it then!

SWEEEEET!!!

A huge transfer rate in Les' first 3 or 4 years didn't help. THAT has to reduce if we are to build and have continuity.

Yes. I never saw him at Hickey, but his teams made several playoff appearances back in those days. It seems like our magic didn't move from Hickey to Rec Hall.
