Lincoln Riley's failure of imagination is astounding. As if three line plunges and a feeble pass inside the 10 yard line was not bad enough, the decision not to kick a field goal with over 5 minutes to play and being down only 5 points strongly suggests that someone else should be calling the plays.
I listened to Lincoln Riley's misbegotten post game presser a few minutes ago. The old bit about "so much went right.....but unfortunately we lost" Someone needs to tell Coach success in football is measured by WINNING games. I remember heavyweight boxer Jerry Quarry saying after one of his many close losses in a big fight, "I feel like everything is coming together." A disgusted member of his team commented, "there's something wrong with Jerry that can't be fixed." I finally understand exactly..... and I mean exactly.... what he meant.
“It’s wild to think we are in November and I’m sure wherever you reside this week will be one of stress, maybe some anxiety and some excitement. Whether that's due to college football, the election, or your kids Lego project I’d offer one piece of advice–stay steady.” - spot on, Yogi.
Another excellent summation of football events of the weekend. Always interesting analysis. I’m also looking forward to Jim’s explanation of the B1G tiebreaker rules. Got a feeling the “rules” will be key; likely generate some emotion amongst the fans.

I agree it would be shocking if Wazzu makes it. Miracles do happen. That is why we love college football. Go Cougs!

It would be shocking if a 1 loss WSU made the playoff over a 3 loss team from the SEC or B1G.
