Orsak (former SMU engineering dean) fired at Tulsa

After just 74 days on the job, Geoffrey Orsak was fired as president at Tulsa. Very hush hush. Tulsa said leave of absence to tend to his sick father Tuesday but then came back on Wednesday with a two line press release announcing that he was relieved of his duties and stating who would be acting ...

Re: That Phil Bennett to Iowa State rumor?

It would appear that the Cyclones are set to name their new coach at 6 p.m. on Monday. The inferred choice is Central Michigan choice is Brian Kelly. Their AD sent out a message saying they have agreed with their No. 1 choice. I looked at the Des Moines register.

LSU def. coor. Bo Pelini claims he ...

Forgot to mention, thanks to those of you who came down. Y'all had a strong crowd, second-best visiting crowd only to UH (and Texas, but I don't consider that a home game. Hopefully we'll quit playing at Reliant soon). 13k attendance is not bad for a holiday game between 2 schools with a collective ...

Sorry guys. Outside of our game, I was pulling for the ponies. I was very much a Wolfpack fan today. CUSA west is shaping up to be a hell of a division.

Thanks for the week of friendly discourse as I crashed your boards.

Todd Dodge is pretty damn good, but I don't think his coaching at SLC qualifies him for CUSA CotY honors.

There are a couple of things working in Rice's favor:
Cougar High is off until the Dec. 2 CUSA championship game and the Texans are nothing special. I'm a little surprised with UT-A&M but good for the Owls.

Helps that UT got beat a couple weeks ago and are no longer on the precipice of going ...

Is there anyone else out there who smells a big sandbag from Rice on this one?

Conspiracy theory: Clement really is hurt, Todd Graham floats the idea that he might play, could play, maybe will play .... and has us prepare for Clement all week. Then he throws super-fast Joel Armstrong at us ...

I have seen 3 lines. Rice -1.5, Pick, and OFF

That makes it an excellent game to middle, especially given the number of 1 point games at Rice stadium this year (3 out of 3)... Bet SMU +1.5 and Rice Pick.

SMU Wins or Rice wins by 2 or more, you're just out the juice. Rice wins by 1, that's ...

No, they just are too pu$$ified to have a championship game. They can't even fill their all of their slots.

We didn't fill our slots because we have TWO teams in the BCS leaving one slot available.

Of course, in a down year for Big whatever, they have one team in the BCS, even if every team ...

Sweet, glad to hear the tailgating will continue down in H-town . . . maybe the smog will clear over the Houston skyline long enough to breathe in and enjoy the game!

It was a great day for football last Saturday and looks to be again this Saturday: 73 degrees, mostly sunny, 40% humidity. I ...

Their positions are not that far off from Sagarin's, which puts Rice 61 and SMU 88. It appears to be the SMU SOS that's pulling you downward:
