Musings from the waiver wire.
Texans sign Routt - A few years ago, when he was a UH Cougar, I summed Routt's game up as follows: "Great speed, can't cover if you handed him a blanket." That said John McClain's persistent criticism of an 11-1 team is getting tiresome.
Bielema to Arkansas, the coaching wheel continues to spin. - I don't like this hire for the Razorbacks, but it probably means that Mike Gundy is staying put at OSU. In my mind Charlie Strong is still the top prize.
Nothern Illinois making the best of a bad situation. - Yes, I agree that their on-the-field performance is lackluster for a B(C)S bid, but arguing against the system only when it produces an outcome you don't like is even more ridiculous (I'm looking at you Herbstreet)
Snyder wins AP Big XII Coach of the Year. Klein wins Unitas award - After their best season in years, the awards are starting to pile up for the Wildcats.
Very happy to see that Javorskie Lane has figured it out.
Houston has 4 players named to C-USA 1st team and the Rice Owls get 2 - Rice is heading to a bowl, UH is not. If you're being out coached by David Bailiff you're probably not qualified for the FBS. It appears that the Cougars are keeping Levine, and AD Mack Rhoades, so they're content with a declining athletic program it seems.
Speaking of declining. - UH basketball is unwatchable. Dickey fits right in with Rhoades scorched earth style it seems.
Remember, Pau Gasol was the player Morey wanted most of all. It's now fair to question this man's player evaluation skills.
Some good news from this year's sorry bowl season: 5 bowls you might actually want to watch.
And finally....
I give you the Astros biggest free-agent loss of this off-season. - Good luck Jim.
