Mike Elko is coming back to Aggieland after spending two years at Duke as their HC. I was hoping for Traylor at UTSA but Elko is a solid hire for the Aggies. Heard he wanted to keep Petrino on as OC. But another rumor has Petrino returning to Arkansas. He gone. Accepted offer at Arky.

Don't get me wrong he is a great Coach but as a man... Well, Look at what happened the last time he was there and what he did to the Atlanta Falcons.

I'm not losing any sleep over Petrino leaving A&M, He was hired to be Jimbo's scapegoat nothing more. The talk was that Jimbo was still calling like 80% of the plays and Petrino was just giving suggestions. You could see the difference in the last two games as the offense was playing wide-open and taking more chances.

I posted this a few years ago. UT paid out around $50 million for Mack, Herman, and Strong. texxas5asports.proboards.com/post/306284/threadSo you are only $25 million in savings vs A&M. But don't be surprised if Sarkisian uses the Jimbo deal to get himself a raise and a buyout increase. I wouldn't doubt. But he won't dare ask for it until next year if the Longhorns make the expanded playoff. Because unless Oregon or Washington lose in the next two weeks or Michigan chokes which is also possible, I don't see Texas making the cut for the final four even if they do win out. The last two weeks of playing to the wire and then a little over it has probably propelled Bama over Texas with the what have you done lately thing. So Ohio State perched right above Texas... Alabama would have to beat Georgia. Washington has to beat Oregon... Again! Iowa has to beat Michigan. Louisville has to beat Florida State. And Texas has to beat Oklahoma State by 14+ The only way for Texas to make it to the Final 4 CFP playoff this year. The Final 4 would be: 1. Washington 2. Ohio State 3. Alabama 4. Texas You know the committee will leapfrog Alabama over Texas with an Alabama win over Georgia. Georgia would be #5.

Most likely scenario for Texas to get in is....
Georgia beats Alabama Michigan beats Iowa Oregon soundly beats Washington Louisville beats Florida State Texas soundly beats Oklahoma State
1. Georgia 2. Michigan 3. Oregon 4. Texas
5. Ohio State 6. Washington 7. Florida State

No way is Michigan losing to Iowa. Louisville has a 50/50 chance to take down FSU, the committee could still stab FSU in the back since they lost their starting QB.

Georgia, Louisville, Michigan, Texas, and Oregon winning gets the Horns in the playoff. But ESPN says there is an 8% chance that scenario plays out.

It’s good it’s back even it’s Saturday. Throughout its history’s the series has been played on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Personally I’m good for Saturday if it can’t be Thursday evening so it doesn’t interfere with high school playoffs on Friday.

Washington beat Oregon again in another close game. So now the Texas Longhorns need to take care of business as well as root for Louisville and maybe Iowa or Alabama!
