So what have we learned? (EMFMV 2010 #10)
(Written by jsnell)
The post-mortem. Stanford and Washington losses recounted. Jim Harbaugh’s future divined. A Pac-10 bowl roundup. (Go Ducks!) A Pac-12 2011 season previewed. All of this and a farewell to our podcasts for this year. Merry Christmas to all, and dream of Rose Bowls.

Great podcast, guys! My only complaint: I do not agree that stanfurd going to a BCS game is a good thing.

That’s a fair complaint. 🙂

Nor is Oregon winning the NC a good thing. Think of how insufferable those fans will be if that happens.
It will be like USC x 1,000,000.
War eagle!

I’m a pro-Pac-10 guy. Pac-10 national championships are good. Two Pac-10 teams in BCS bowls is good. I didn’t actually say I wanted Stanford to win the Orange Bowl, did I?

Ken, I like your take on my betting strategy, but if I did manipulate the lines I wouldn’t have taken 10.5 point underdog USC over Stanford or Oregon. I wouldn’t have taken 13 point underdog Washington over Nebraska or Oregon State etc.
Sometimes my scores are in line with Vegas spreads and other times they’re way off.
I love the podcast so keep them coming.
One correction/retraction – Maynard is Keenan Allen’s half-brother, not cousin.
I’m curious to see how Bridgeford looks this year, because he looked incredible in some of those recruiting camp highlights I saw of him. However, Dan Marino could look like a 5 star if he was competing in one of those competitions.

One other thing, how can I get my twitter feed added to the gameday chatroom?

You’ll never see me drop mundane tweets the way Ray Ratto or Okanes like to do
“Washington won the toss and chose to receive.”
Instead we give you insider news such as
“NCAA is looking into handing down sanctions to #USC for treating the #Oregon game like it was their bowl game. #USC is banned from bowl play”

Just remind us next year, Leader.
December 15th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
I didn’t mean to suggest that you never deviate Leader, just that it appears you use it as a benchmark to jump from. Actually, I really haven’t look at it much this year. That’s the way it seemed last year.
And hey, who can argue, it works. 🙂

Jason-I’m a pro Pac 10 guy as well by I cannot stand the UO fans. They get under my skin with their “born on third and think they hit a triple” mentality regarding the greatness of their program. I agree that it would be a good thing for the Pac 10 (12) but I can’t look past this fact.
Great comments regarding what happens when you coach to avoid mistakes. I never really thought about it this way and Ken you are totally correct.
Another great podcast and another great year of blogging. Thanks guys, enjoy the holidays and I look forward to checking in throughout the year.

Thank you Jason & Ken, I look forward to your podcasts every week during the football season. I hope both of you have a great holiday season and hope to hear more from both of you next year!
