Catch of the Day.

HOOK:

Today the hook is Hugh Freeze and Ole Miss.  I have never been to Ole Miss, but it must be a hell of a place, and the school is smart as heck HOWEVER they locked him up so fast.  Bottom line, if I am a coach with other aspirations and I just had the breakout season of the 2000’s with my school after starting to pile up top 10 recruiting classes, I am going to at least check out the vacancies in Nebraska, Florida, and Michigan (in a few hours I assume).  This means that he is truly happy at Ole Miss, and if I am a recruit deciding between schools, I check THAT box on my evaluation of the schools.  Great season, Hugh.  And although I am not personally a FAN of Ole Miss, I will respect you signing up that fast.  It is like someone dating their high school sweetheart, getting models thrown at them right and left, but then throwing on the ring without even wanting to see them in swimsuits.  I don’t care if that is an off example.  I know what I meant to say.

LINE:

There is no line or quote today.  So, let’s just click on Odell Beckham, Jr doing other ridiculous stuff in practice.

SINKER:

Co-champs if they win, Big 12????  That is stupid.  They have announced that TCU and Baylor will be co-champs if they both win their last game.  What does this do?  It says “they are OUR tie-breakers, college football committee, and just in case your formula is different than our rationale, we would like you to know that either of those teams “won” the conference” since we hear that sometimes you don’t like non-conference winners.  W.E.A.K.  (And smart of course).  Put it in their hands.  One team beat the other heads up and you won’t step to the mic and say that this means they win.  My gut tells me this preemptive strike on the committee will make you look dumber if one of the two teams trip up this weekend (probably won’t happen but fun to wish).  I would have waited on this brilliant announcement.
