Didn't Dennis Franchione (sp?) accept the Alabama job and then leave for Texas A&M before coaching a single game?

The Marcus DuPree story was a good one - I would highly recommend it to anyone. They also openly talked about the "benefits" OU players and families received and that Barry Switzer was in the middle of everything.

It bugged me on a few occasions (early on) when it was third or fourth and short and we threw the ball thirty yards down field into double coverage. It was also before we stuck with giving the ball to Zack Line and were giving the ball to Fields and Butler who had no impact whatsoever. I understand ...

Each day they count down five more positions and we just showed up. Naturally, the write-up has not been updated to reflect the guys that won't be playing, but hey, BCS teams need some attention too.

UH's big-time (or one of) alum donors was a lawyer named John O'Quinn. He went after the tobacco companies and the drug company that released Phen-Phen. Won HUGE on both. Also represented Anna Nicole Smith in the late stages of her saga.

Little known fact, but the field at Coog High is/was named ...

Didn't know about that. As long as those guys stay healthy, I won't be at all surprised to see them catch some teams off-guard next year. Rice will be a team take very seriously.

RGV and SMUer are totally right. Forget who he is playing for, Sam Mcguffie will be scary and run wild against C-USA defenses. This kid is going to make an immediate impact at Rice.

I highly doubt Stoops will go to ND. Here are some points from another fan board I follow that I thought were strong points. Will be interesting to see how it all shakes out:

"This Notre Dame coaching search is going to go exactly like the last three: everyone is going to get all hyped up about a ...

Just signed in. Ready for kickoff.

Sorry, just saw other thread. Signing up now.

Thanks again for putting this together. Ended up close to the front but boneheaded picks killed me.

Quite a few more entries than last year. Next year will likely be huge. Let's put together a College Bowl Pick'em, if we can.

Can't wait - I'm in for 2.

Very brief and at the end, but positive.

Aren't conference champions obligated to play in certain bowls? That would mean if we win, we would have to play in the Liberty Bowl. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
