New PAPN for you! More rambly than normal!

Today’s topics:

  • UCLA: Endlessly strange expectations, what your coordinator hire says about you, Noel Mazzone trying to coach at every power five school, Josh Rosen as Chris Simms, and QBs destroyed by rivalry games. Also: You don’t divorce the Rose Bowl no matter what.
  • Godfrey should go to the nerd thing.
  • Live PAPN: Would you come to it, and where would we do it? (Tell us in comments.)
  • Traffic in LA
  • Cal: Cal’s quirks are seductive and then annoying, Jack Kerouac’s playing career, and Mississippians in wine country. Also, is Tim DeRuyter still a good defensive coach?
  • Gary Andersen and scorned Wisconsin fans
  • What does a Chip Kelly college offense look like in 2018 (at, say, UCLA)?
  • The stigma of the 4-2-5
  • Was TCU’s defensive strength all about Dick Bumpas?
  • Northern land grants and the future of the bottom of FBS
  • Bill’s socialist college football plea
  • The AAC’s short-term gains and long-term goals
  • Who gets into the 2016 CFP: 13-0 Houston or 12-1 Washington?
