Man I had so many questions. One I was going to ask how he felt about our offense being so simple that the Boise announcers last week were able to predict what we were doing by halftime, and if he was going to change it up somehow, but since I missed the show last week I didn't know if it had been asked already. I also wanted to ask him about his comparison of Zac to Terry Bradshaw if he really thought they were comparable in talent. The reason I didn't ask about the punt is because he already answered that question at the qb club, so I knew what his answer would be. So, I decided to see what I could get him to say about the WAC plan and if he thought it would allow him to be more successful and if he thought Oakes would implement it, plus I wanted to get it out on the air about DR signing to it. We now know why Oakes and DR didn't sign off on the Baylor deal. They aren't worried about the WAC enforcing the plan.
Bick also said, the reason why we struggled on offense was because Idaho changed up their defense a little. DUH!!!! EARTH TO JACK....EARTH TO JACK.....
Did Jack really get through the show without having to answer about the punt?
