1) Let's start with the misery of others.Tom Herman is:
A) Insane
B) Not doing a very good job as the Texas football coach
C) Both
Herman is 23-15 as the Longhorns head coach. His team, that was talked about by many as a playoff contender, is 6-5 with the regular season finale against Texas Tech this week. It is the definition of a mediocre football team. Which has almost nothing to do with why I wanted to start with Tom Herman.
That's unhinged, man. Or an unhinged man.
2) From the same game, Matt Rhule should be the national coach of the year. Baylor was a train wreck three years ago. And a lot of us (myself included) hoped it would never recover and the athletic department would burn to the ground. But then Mack Rhoades did what he couldn't do in Columbia. He hired Rhule. After a 1-11 debut season, he now has the Bears 10-1 and headed to the Big 12 championship game for the first time in school history. You should still despise everything that happened in Waco. But none of it was Matt Rhule's fault and none of it was Mack Rhoades' fault. They deserve credit for bringing that thing out of the ashes in a hurry.
3) BREAKING: Arkansas covered. The Razorbacks were a 40 something point underdog to LSU, the largest spread anyone could find in an SEC game pretty much anywhere. The Tigers jumped to a 56-6 lead, but the scrappy Hawgs battled back for two huge touchdowns to make the score 56-20. Barry Lunney is 0-1 as the Razorbacks head coach, but he is 1-0 ATS. In some places, we call that progress. And then Ed Orgeron gave us the quote of the year
