Not too surprised by this. I sort of figured he would be back. Was just a hunch on my part and nothing else.

I think it's very cool. He is marking the key points in his life and that's cool in my mind. It clearly is a generational thing and as astutely pointed out in another post, it's how it's done now. I do wonder if Dan intended for it to be public. Clearly he knew pics were being taken but wonder if he anticipated they would be shared publicly. Maybe he did. On a separate note, I have heard from several people who have gotten to know him over the last year that it is very obvious that his wife is 'his rock' so clearly see why she is prominent in the tat. On another separate note I am SURE Crepea will ask him about it at some point. During the season Dan asked James why he did not wear shorts more often so his ink could be seen and James was the one of the first media guys to post about it other than the guy who did the actual inking.

I think the line of Oregon by 3 has held. I have not checked since yesterday. Anybody have any insights?

Certainly very valid points and I agree he does probe more than some of the others.

1000% agree on Mora and Harsin. I think Lanning will counsel Dilly to take the approach that he did, which was to wait for the right opportunity. ASU may avoid serious NCAA sanctions due to the fact that they basically cleaned the house of the coaches who were involved in some of the mess there but they will likely get some sort of punishment. A guess is a reduction in scholarships and some other administrative changes they need to make so for a couple of guys who want to get back to the P12 this job might be attractive. The AD there has been known to make some 'head scratching' decisions so hard to say what he might do, but Mora or Harsin would fit his profile of possible hires in my opinion before KD.

Crepea loves to be the 'smartest man in the room' and I love that DL nicely lets him know he is not the smartest man in the room in a very succinct and professional way. He clearly was trying to get DL to throw Williams under the bus.

Some of the current players on defense have been through 3 different coordinators, Avalos, DeRutyer and now Lupoi and obviously 3 different systems. And let's not forget that recruiting on the D line under MC and Salavea was seriously lacking. DL knew when he was interviewing for the job that the defense would be his biggest issue.

Lanning made a comment in his presser on Monday night that they had 'submitted some plays to the league office' but did not elaborate any further. Likely water under the bridge now.

Thanks for sharing- great read

innovative offense after shaping quarterback JustinHerbert ....... Oh my, this line is staggeringly false and shows the writer did no research

Heard he was injured- not seriously but enough that he needed to sit last Saturday.

Agree 1000%

Crepea addressed this in his column today in the O. He felt the majority of the calls were spot on with only 1 or 2 slightly questionable.

It started when Taggart came and MC allowed it to continue. I personally wondered when it might be something that would get a coaches' attention

Agree and as others have said ASU is a mess. He's got Moore coming next year and can possibly build his resume and wait for something better.

Lots of issues at BSU according to 'insiders'. Don't know any specifics but have heard via some message boards things are not copacetic with Andy. There is/was some reason Da'Vell Winters left. When AA got the job at BSU he made Da'Vell chief of staff. Then late last year Da'Vell was on Linked In looking for a job. He is now Director of Player Development at FAU working for Willy Taggart.

"the thrill of victory" We know the rest of the moniker from the days of Wide World of Sports but I'll leave it out for now and let us savor this one

Not that it had anything to do with his hospitalization before the Stanford game last year, but Joe and Mario were not getting along at all even before that. Something happened, not sure what but something changed. Multiple people have said the same thing.

I would guess Williams and maybe even Gonzalez.

Oh my- Drex and Charles, you made my day. I am a Stones fanatic and Gimme Shelter is my all time favorite. I still get goose bumps when I hear the opening riff. Kudos to you, for the stellar comparison. Anytime there is a reference to Gimme Shelter it's a good day. Let's hope that storm is threatin' every Pac 12 teams life. In the famous words of Jagger and Richards:

He used to do the same thing when he was at Oregon. He always referred to Alabama as 'the place I was at previously'. Used to drive me crazy ( I don't know why) but why not just say ' I recruited him when I was at Oregon'.

My perception as well. I think there is a reason Ed is hanging around Miami. I know one of his son's is an asst there but I am guessing Ed has his eye on that job.

Dilly has a five star QB coming in next year. I think he has the luxury to wait. The NCAA has not weighed in on ASU yet and they may get hit hard. I can't imagine Dilly wants to start out with that mess. He could sit for another year, build some more cred and possibly have some better choices. Just my two cents.

Thanks East Bay Duckdad for a great post. How long has it been since we were able to say this: Oregon out schemed and out toughed BYU.

I don't think we're being thin skinned, just stating facts. I'm all for well thoughout reasoned opinions. His opinions are neither.
