Yeah but it's only media heads and nothing from Austin with any purpose. Dantonio was born in El Paso and has roots in Texas but his personal style doesn't bode well with the media circus that surrounds the program nationally. I'd give it <5% odds
NFL Network was trying to push Chip Kelly this morning. I think that's a year late. If you were Texas, would you look any further than Gus Malzahn? Pretty clear his system works and that guy can coach. Look at Auburn with him and without him the last 5 years. Auburn's recruiting classes are comparable to Texas.
I love Malzahn but it seems like it'd be tough for even Texas to get him from Auburn. I could be wrong about that though.
I'm not sure how many of you watched the CSU/Wazzu game but what an AWESOME fucking ending!!!! (I'm sure BRUCE80 disagrees though) I've lived in Fort Collins for 13 years so I was obviously pulling for CSU big time. CSU was down by 15 with 4 minutes left. They score a TD with about 2:30 left to cut it to 8. CSU kicks off normally since they have 2 TOs left. They burn them both and WSU converts a 3rd down to get 1st and 10 with about 2 minutes left. On the next play WSU calls a read option (huh?) and QB Halliday kept it and then CSU's best D player ripped the ball away and CSU recovered it. BUT it was overturned because Halliday was clearly down. On the next play, first WSU snaps the ball with 20s left on the clock with a running clock, and they call a running play. The same dude who ripped the ball out before said "fuck you, I'm gonna do it again!" and this time the runner wasn't down and the CSU guy recovered his own ripped fumble. CSU scores a TD with about 30s left and go for 2, but it's ruled short. The play is overturned though because he clearly hit the pylon with the ball before going OOB and this ties the game up. On the ensuing KO the WSU returner FUMBLES (for the 3rd time in 3 consecutive touches by 3 different WSU players) and CSU recovers it. CSU kicks a FG to win the game. EPIC finish for the Rams!
Just a complete an utter melt down by the Cougars. The Rams got serious breaks...and the Cougars do what they do...blow a game they controlled the entire way...and fumble it away... The Cougar DC should be looking for work...they changed nothing the entire game...and then went epically soft down the stretch.. Embarrassed by it honestly.
Arizona State got fucked by Texas Tech and now Arizona has a chance to finish the season with 8 wins. Could be a great 24 hours for Wildcat Nation. BEARDOWN!!!
Honestly was rooting hard for Stanford (PAC-12 love ya know). Great win for Dantonio. Now if only they played Connor Cook all the way through in South Bend... What could of been.
