I'll be mainly on the Iowa-Illinois game, but I'll try to flip around if the woman allows it.

Should walk up to Urban Meyer and slap him across the face.

When Urbz is like "WTF?"

He just stares back like "you know why."

The OSU offense should be 1st down, Zeke Elliott, 2nd down, Zeke Elliott...3rd down...figure it out after 1st and 2nd down.

Ha. OSU has already allowed Maryland to score when we shut them out in their own building last week. They suck.

But in all seriousness, I don't expect Maryland to win this game. OSU can ride Elliott to another win.

God damn I am dying for this game to start. I am also thankful that we are back to the normal 3:30 and beyond starts, until OSU, of course.

May not be the guy for Texas, but I firmly believe he's a good coach.

IMO, you have good coaches...and he, David Shaw, Dan Mullen, Rich Rod, maybe Mark Stoops, a bunch of others fall into this group.

You have great coaches...Miles, Fisher, Stoops, maybe Patterson and Swinney fall into this group.

You have elite coaches. Meyer, Saban, Harbaugh. End of list.

People love to rag on guys like Shaw and Strong...but how many guys out there are really THAT much better? Three. The answer is three. For good and great coaches it's much more about "fit" than it is about the coach.

For the elite 3, they fit anywhere.

If Strong is fired or leaves...I hope he finds a solid fit, because he's a very good coach, IMO.

They easily could've folded and they have a nice bounce and energy...let's see if they can keep it for 4 quarters. They had two BRUTAL last second losses and then just didn't bring it last week.

They remind me of Michigan a couple years ago when we fought, but we were just SOOOO young. We were getting excited about a halfway decent block from Kyle Bosch just because it was something to celebrate from a young player who had no business being in the game.

Texas plays 22 freshman/RS freshman significant snaps. We play...Drake Harris, Grant Perry, I guess you can call Peppers a RS freshman since he got his redshirt. That's all I can think of.
