Buh bye bye, Billy.
Hello . . . Brohm?
The preordained dismissal in GatorLand was blissfully effectuated Sunday. As many expected, when the coach was booed off his home field. After a win.
It is indeed the Season of the Witch. Four Top 10 Ls over the weekend.
As for that other reference, the first Who is a Candidate for the Florida job article I read mentioned the Cardinal homeboy coach.
And it’s not the first mention of Brohm’s name.
In a similar listing of possible Penn State hires, Jeff Brohms name
was also prominent.
These hypotheticals always mention his connections to Louisville, how the Brohms are immersed in the city’s culture, etc, etc.
Is it possible that one of these schools will make JB an offer he can’t refuse?
Or, is Brohm the lifer homie we believe him to be, but perhaps trying to extract more moolah to stick around?
James Franklin talked about how surreal it was getting fired. It’s the chaotic epidemic that’s surreal.
Oh yeah, Colorado State also gave their coach Jay Norvell the pink slip Sunday.
Luke Fickell, come on down, you’re on the clock.

My JM Atherton HS Rebels 49, Seneca RedWhatevers 0. It’s 7-1 JMA’s fourth shutout in a row, sixth of the season.

Stew Mandel, who gives great coverage at theathletic.com lives on the left coast and attended the Carolina game at Cal.
He mentioned how surreal it was — my thematic use of the term not his — to see young Jordan Hudson prancing along the sideline, dressed to the nines.
“Weird” is the word he actually typed.
Stew, Stew, Stew, she’s just getting in touch with her inner Beverlee Schnellenberger.

How sweet was it to see Brian “F-Bomb” Kelly lose in NashVegas to the Commodores?
Very sweet indeed.
Next for the Bayou Bengals Texas A&M and Alabama.
Grins ahead for schadenfreuders.
Speaking of Vandy, I remember reading an interview with Clark Lea, when he was hired. He was adamant that winning a natty was his goal for the Commodores.
Silly me, how absurd thought I.

Florida State 13, Stanford 20.
Was that W over Alabama hallucination?
Pitchforks being sharpened in Tallahassee.
Might Palo Alto be James Franklin’s next home?

Loved how Utah in all red unis competing against BYU’s in all blue unis was pretty cool looking.

Curt Cignetti quote: “Mike Krzyzewski once said the toughest opponent he ever faced was human nature.”

Don’t go to other school’s chat rooms, so I haven’t the slightest what Miami fans are saying about Cristobal..
What I’ll say is his lack of game acumen was on display at the end of the half. When he let the clock run down to a few seconds, when he could have gotten the ball back in enough time to move down field for a possible score. Or for Carson Beck to throw another pick.
Malfeasance.

IU’s Fernando Mendoza was 24/28 for 332 yards and four TDs.

Texas kept telling Kentucky, here’s the game.
The Cats said no thanks.
