    A) He has celebrated dozens of touchdowns like that at Alabama.

    B) He sucked ass as a head coach and deserved his firing as richly as anyone deserved to be fired anywhere in America.

    Nearly gave up the ballgame. (My parlay picks are for amusement purposes only; haven't bet sports since high school.)

    Arizona may be the most quietly snakebit Power 5 program.

    Not sure exactly what happened there, but Franchione retired. The 9 losses were the most in his 30-year career.

    Every summer before the season, I get Phil Steele's magazine and devour the thing. He does a "power poll" in which he ranks all 128 teams via 9 mysterious computer models that I have never seen explained. I always look to see who his 10 bottom teams are. This year he had Texas State as his worst D1-A team. Lost 33 lettermen, 3 bowl teams in non-conf schedule, etc. Ohio may not be quite as good as they have been recently, but they make a bowl game almost every year and Frank Solich and the staff he put together are solid and there is always continuity there. So I figure that is a solid win for Texas State.

    He's a great offensive mind who shit the bed as head coach. He's at his best calling plays but will be given millions to resurrect a program next year.

    The whole second half I was thinking, "Damn, they are trying to fuck this up." Then when that woeful Auburn offense gashed them for a few on that last series, I changed my tune to, "They are really trying to fuck this up."

    Think they should have tried for the FG there at the end, too.

    Too bad USC has continued to make shitty hires ever since.

    I wonder where that will be. Maybe somewhere like Georgia Tech or NC State.

    Maybe Auburn, which would be hilarious.

    Not sure the last Saturday in which Kansas, Wyoming and Purdue each won. Has to be decades.
