Most importantly, Ole Miss moves up 3 spots after a bye week? SMH

Odds to win NC.

@AdvocateSports: .@RabalaisAdv: 'Strong indications' Les Miles coaching for job vs. Ole Miss, Texas A&M. https://t.co/aUf6poDBCi #LSU https://t.co/bzQ0TXEEpG

That's crazy! I guess it's the world we live in, but LSU would be silly to part with Miles. I hope it happens, though, as I predict they'll learn the hard way that good, consistent coaches are hard to come by.

I don't think anybody will beat Bama if they keep playin the way they are now and stay healthy. Zero U will win the Big XII and 'IF' they get in the final four they will play Bama in the finals. Both are running the ball the best right now.

Hey! What about the Midshipmen? Love me some option football.

17 million dollar buyout for a state that is struggling financially with $40 oil? No way that happens.

What a joke.

I have been through this time and time again. Simms was the better QB and the best option. I saw every snap of practice (was the QB manager) and on the sidelines / locker room for it all. The team all supported Simms too. Major was a good QB but Simms was the right option.

How come Simms didn't finish the am game that season? Did people really call the hotel rooms of the players all night?

He screwed up with his coaching staff / OC but I'm hearing he didn't have the open check book as once thought. Patterson was trying to go cheap to save money. Patterson wouldn't settle the Wickline lawsuit and allow him to be done with it. I think Patterson's hands are on all this too.

I think he needs to find a new OC that will put up 35 points a game. You can't win in the Big 12 scoring 17 points a game. I want a stud OC (if ones out there) or stay with Norvell. I have no complaints (outside Iowa State) with Norvell / Traylor combo so I can live with it.

I think he needs to get his guys on campus. Like I have stated several times, name a JR or SR that would start at OU, Baylor, TCU, OSU?

Out of Heard / Locksely / Swoopes / Merrick / Buechele somebody needs to step up and play well. You can't win in the Big 12 without good QB play.

I also think that Texas has just had some bad luck / breaks too. It has to turn for him.


For me.

1. Better / good QB play
2. Charlie's guys
3. OC hire
4. Catch some breaks

Again, the record means nothing to me.

I agree with what you're saying about getting his people and players in there.

What is the status of the AD? I think another piece of the puzzle is a permanent AD who has Strong's back and is committed to both him and TEXAS.

Looking forward to seeing where the upsets come his weekend.

I loved the tear away jerseys! I explained the tear away to my son and his friend at the last Texas game when they wore the throw back 1969 uniforms! I am old!

Earl rocked it!

Why do you have to call people names?

Fify and it's not a name. It's an affliction.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

Sumlin wouldn't be where he is without Jff either, but what has strong done to make you think he's such a good coach? Please explain. Because Texas is Pathetic under strong. There sure are some idiotic burnt orange posters here too.

6-7 and 4-8 Bob, my bad possibly 5-7, but I mean strong is elite huh? Harbaugh turned around Michigan in year 1, Gus turned around auburn in year 1, mcelwain turned around Florida in year 1, how come this elite coach strong didn't turn around blue blood Texas?

Wow. Somebody doesnt know very much about football. Lol.

Cometely different situations. No one picked Texas to be better than 7-5 tbis year with 4 obvious losses on the schedule, one of which was a victory.

Anyone would know that strong is not an elite coach. This was his chance to become on3. Newsflash, saban was not elite when he went to LSU nor was meyer at Florida. They became elite. Harbaugh, yeah.....elite. i wanted him last year.

Co.e on man, you try way too hard.

[Chase This!]

Did anyone call Charlie "elite"? Maybe I missed it. He's been disappointing, no doubt...but he's got another year to get it right.

It's not like he was handed a Heisman qb, an elite receiver, and an NFL offensive line....

He better win one of these last two to buy one more year. Lose these next two and he gone. I don't know why Miami would consider him, to be honest.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

Oh god, JR is back.

[Speedgoat]

Just saw LSU is the underdog against 7-3 Ol Miss. What happened to them?
