SMU losing multiple high recruits according to ESPN, and it’s speculated that it’s because Dykes will jump to TCU.

That's unfortunate for SMU. They had a really good recruiting class.

Baylor football coach Dave Aranda plans to remain the program's coach after the Bears proposed a new contract to him, according to Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.

Yahoo Sports's Pete Thamel first reported the news.


that leaves the lsu job with top tier, lincoln riley, or their second, matt campbell? joel klatt predicted today that it would be the latter.

Took a peak at an SMU fan board. Absolute vitriol for Dykes taking the TCU job

I can't blame him for going, and I can't blame them for being absolutely pissed about it. It's a shame, but it is a great job, especially since he isn't going to have to move. I think it'd be pretty funny if they wen't out and hired up a pissed off Gary Patterson now.

I feel so bad for the fans though, seriously. It would be like if a few year's after Bill Snyder (well, to a lesser extent) was hired in his first stint we got relegated to the Mountain west and KU stayed in the Power 5 and hired him away from us. That would have absolutely demoralized us.

Watching the Michigan vs Ohio State game, and the game day environment is strikingly similar to that of KU games. Man, maybe I was wrong and KU does belong in the B1G :rofl:

Seriously though, can you imagine what it'd look like to see KU hosting a B1G game? If you go over to The Phog, they already have their bags packed though. :lol:

Wow! Talk about not meeting expectations. :shock:

Did they get hit with a bunch of key injuries this season?
