Garbage week? It’s the one I absolutely dread every season now, but especially this year where both my schools badly need the win.

 

Ain’t no such thing as a garbage week when Pitt can clinch the coastal.

 

Good week to get house and yardwork and some early Christmas shopping done to stash some brownie points away for better weeks down the road.

 

Tulane, suddenly hot, goes against Houston, suddenly cold. The winner stands an excellent chance of being the sacrificial lamb to UCF in the AAC championship.

 

Tulane is 5-5, but just a few plays away from 8-2 with close losses to decent Wake and UAB teams.

If the Les Miles stuff at Kansas is a smokescreen, then Willie Fritz is really high on my wish list.

 

That’s the profile. Someone winning at a place that never wins. Both sides (Fritz and KU) should be eager to make this happen.

 

Yep, checks about every box. Won at multiple stops. KC area native. Worked in and has connections in all of KU's primary recruiting bases, including Kansas and Texas high schools, Kansas and Texas Jucos and Louisiana.

 

Really worked out for KU when they hired Turner Gill.

 

Biggest difference is Gill had one good season before KU hired him. Fritz has done it on multiple levels for 20 years.

 

Let’s transition to another Big 8 - 2 coach also not winning. Mike Gundy blaming those damn libtards for being a mediocre entity.
