It was nice knowing Charlie Strong.

I like Charlie Strong, so long as he isn't my team's coach.  Reminds me a lot of Brady Hoke from a personal standpoint, but a lot more intellectual.  He'll do well somewhere, but not at Texas.

I'm just thinking in terms of fairness here.

Charlie Strong puts out a shitty team in his third year that is going to go 500ish, so he gets fired.

Brian Kelly puts out a shittier team in his seventh year that gets beat by that Charlie Strong team and he dreams of going 500ish at this point, so he...???

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Ah thanks, that was same place that had this
1. Sidney Jones, Washington

2016 coverage stats: Thrown at nine times, four receptions, 20 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT,
zero passes defensed, 12.0 QB rating when targeted.
Yeah, unless you have a subscription, that site is only okay.  MGoBlog.com has a partnership with PFF, so i see a lot of Michigan-related stuff, but not a lot of anything else.

Fact: (not PFF):  SP+  predicts that the average P5 team would score 0.9 points against Michigan's defense.

Charlie's Texas teams have won 14 games total.  The Domers won 10 last year.

I know.  :P I'm not even on the "fire brian kelly bandwagon" at this point. As putrid as this season has been, he has had some good seasons and I'm not opposed to giving the guy a mulligan.

It is still really early in the season to say this, but I'm really thankful we have a playoff system this year. Alabama is Alabama, I don't know if anyone will stop Clemson in the regular season and they have a ton of talent, Ohio State and Michigan both look outstanding, and Washington also seems to be dominant. If 3 of those teams end up unbeaten, someone really deserving would be left out. (and of course there are other unbeaten teams floating out there too, but I have a bit less faith in say Nebraska or West Virginia)

I hope Wyoming can win a road game.  The end.

Watching the and pulling for you, brah.  So far, so good.

Seriously, one of the high points of my Saturday is watching the late west coast-ish games.  Wife and kids are in bed, having my last beer of the night; just me and college football.

This is what Wyoming is aiming for.  Being able to finish out games.

I was sure it was a typo when I first saw it, but it happened: Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech really threw 52/88 passes for 734 yards.  And ran 12 times for another 85 yards.  One person.  100 plays.  819 yards.

And his team lost.

College football is broken. Or maybe just the Oklahoma and Texas Tech defenses. But something is broken.

Wyoming got a point in the latest coaches poll.  That must be in honor of of the fact they play Boise State this week in Laramie.

WVU is in the top 10 :w00t:  for now.  Holgorsen will find a way to lose 4 of the last 6 games and they'll end up unranked at 8-4 and go to a bowl with a weird name but halfway decent payout.
