Tulane and Memphis are the only acceptable Big 12 additions because they're cool places that are worth going to for an away game. I guess maybe UCF, you can go to Disney and Universal

you want to know how you know a coach hosed up? you watch a team go up 28-7 in the first 20 minutes of the game and then a field goal during the last 40.

And that's not going to happen. They're going to lose to Memphis, UCF, and Cincinnati, so UH is going to have to run the table against North Texas, UConn, SMU, Tulsa, and Navy just to get to 6-6. This is why you don't make ridiculous boasts.

What's Holgo's buyout?

PostNouveau posted:What's Holgo's buyout? First three years are fully guaranteed and then 60% of the last two, it looks like, so, uh, a lot. Unless he wins the American or makes a NY6 game in which case the last two also become fully guaranteed but that seems safe for now! Seriously though blowing the lead they did yesterday was bad, but they've had a tough opening schedule. Potential playoff team in OU, another good P5 program in Wazzu, and then what looks like it's going to be a pretty strong Tulane team that might finally launch Fritz to a bigger job. They aren't going to be a serious contender in the American with the way UCF and Memphis have looked so far but they could wind up being pretty good.

They mentioned several times during the game that Houston had played 3 games in something like 17 days or so. They seemed to completely run out of gas.

Which is sad, because he's a fantastic coach and I would much prefer him over Matt Wells.

I don't think he intended to be at Tulane this long. Matt Wells is a good coach. TTU has an injured QB and hasn't had a winning season in like four years I don't really know what your expectations were for year one but they seem like they might be too high?

vyst posted:Then why don't you like him? Did he gently caress your girl or something? He's the world's most generic dude head coach. His staff is full of guys who failed at previous P5 stops. He's the reaction hire (opposite of the previous coach), but he's not even really a proper reaction. I guess he's the reaction in the sense that he's more CEO style than x & o's style? I haven't decided yet if Yost actually knows what he's doing. If he actually is trying to run Duo from the spread, then he might be doing something a little interesting. His passing concepts haven't been all that great and have mostly consisted of throwing the ball up for Vasher. I'm pretty burnt on football on the whole, so I'm not going to get up in arms about it. I don't hate him. It's not like I'm rooting for my team to fail. He just might wind up being that grinder like Beard and Tadlock that a school like Texas Tech needs to be successful on the national stage. But I stand by my statement that I would have much preferred Fritz over Wells. Willie Fritz would be a hire that excites me. Matt Wells did not.

Applewhite was a pretty obvious bad hire from the start that I don't think anyone except the most severely Texas Brained fan was all that excited about. Like the defense of it here was literally "well hey no one will hire this one away!" Between that and the complete implosion at the end of last year with the Oliver mess and giving up 700 points to Army I think it's hard to fault them for a quick hook. Holgo is a way more established name and getting him out of the Big 12 was a big coup they had to invest a ton of resources in, I would be shocked if he doesn't get a pretty long rope.

Your pattern of Leach - Tuberville - Kingsbury - Wells is pretty ABAB bipolar haha, but Wells was able to do pretty well at Utah State. I think he could cobble something pretty good in a few years, if Tech boosters are that patient.

I don't think Wells is really comparable to Tubberville. He's always run a spread offense, even if it's not exactly the air raid and he's not a super old retread or anything. Utah State was usually better on defense than offense but I think that's kind of hard to avoid with the recruiting base there and he had really bad QB injury luck for a big chunk of time in the middle of his tenure. They were a top 30 offense by S&P last year.

https://twitter.com/RedditCFB/status/1175114555124531202?s=19 This should be the sort of thing that makes people talk seriously about ending the series, but lol. Timeline here: Right after the game, there were already some social media whispers that something bad had happened with the band, which kicked into overdrive after our worthless failure of an athletic director released a statement that gave no details (beyond the band getting booed, which, duh) but said they were "investigating an incident" The next day the ISU AD said he hadn't hear anything but also the Iowa State band is mistreated in Kinnick too so both sides are bad and to blame here. The ISU AD and Iowa's useless empty suit poo poo for brains AD release a joint statement that basically just reiterates the Iowa State "both sides" excuse and tells everyone to chill and be nice to the band and that the investigation into the matter was now closed after all of 48 hours People in the Iowa Band, who had kept quiet because the administration told them they were investigating, got understandably pissed about being abandoned and started giving details on social media, most notably alleging groping and a physical assault that left one of the band members with a broken rib. This is consistent with some the rumors I'd heard before so I tend to believe it. In a normal situation this would get everyone involved fired but instead I expect Gary Barta will somehow get a raise

TIL that Vandy owns Texas all-time (7-2) and they once played a game where the only hope of Texas winning was Vandy's hubris from being so good. Edit: Also Rice has played Bama, Auburn and Georgia 6 times. It is 3-0 against Bama 2-0 against Auburn 1-0 against Georgia PostNouveau fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Sep 20, 2019 |

Not to mention the team is way short on talent at this point and needs a year or two just to get anything resembling depth. And if red-glassed fools want to give Holgo the hook that quick then they deserve to see UH at the bottom of the conference in time for the next realignment. Those fools are the same fools calling for Deriq King to be redshirted for next year. To which I say sure, do it, and don't get mad when he wins a Heisman at OU.

Wisconsin's offense looks a lot better this year because they now have a qb who can complete screen passes. That's all you need to know about Hornibrook. For a while, whenever I typed 'loving' into my tablet 'Hornibrook' would come up as one of the recommended next words.
