    You really think these Houston players are into this game knowing their coach is gone? And especially after a big win over a top 5 team last week.

    If this ain't a classic "let down" game then I don't know what is.

    It was 21-17 at the same time you said they were being torched.

    Don't be an 8 year old and thump your chest when 1.5 hours later, the score favors your shitty point then.

    Oliver was injured late in the 3rd qtr. Didn't notice if he got back in.

    "Three sources with knowledge of the negotiations said LSU was prepared to pay $6 million a year for Fisher and upped the ante to $6.8 million annually for the former Tigers assistant. But even that number was not enough to sway Fisher's camp, led by agent Jimmy Sexton.'

    "LSU's administrators, most notably athletic director Joe Alleva, wanted a deal with Fisher done by Wednesday. When it did not happen, Alleva turned his focus to Herman. LSU has been in contact with Herman's representatives for well over a month, but the talks "really heated up early Wednesday afternoon," according to a source close to Herman, when Fisher fell through."

    "There appears to be a power struggle in Austin right now between Texas' influential boosters and that school's administrators as to whom the Longhorns should have as their head coach in 2017. The boosters want third-year coach Charlie Strong out, while Texas' administrators appear to be wiling to give Strong another season with his young team, according to two sources at Texas."

    "Herman would likely choose LSU over Texas, according to sources close to him, due to the current dynamics in the Texas football program. The boosters seem to be trying to force the hand of Texas athletic director Mike Perrin, who has been reluctant to fire Strong, despite the Longhorns' 5-6 record."

    "Orgeron is still considered a "strong candidate," according to sources briefed on LSU's search. The Louisiana native has endeared himself to the fans, players, boosters and LSU's administration. One source close to Orgeron said he has contacted several potential offensive coordinators and will present his list, along with his vision for the program, to Alleva. With Fisher likely staying put at Florida State, it appears Orgeron has become the No. 2 option for LSU."

    "One name on Orgeron's list of of potential offensive coordinators is Alabama's Lane Kiffin. The two coached together at USC and Tennessee, and Orgeron replaced Kiffin as the Trojans' interim coach when he was fired in 2013."

    "Kiffin is actively seeking a head coaching job, but he has gotten little to no traction. Sources close to Kiffin indicated he would strongly consider joining Orgeron in Baton Rouge if Orgeron gets the job. Alleva has been made aware of Kiffin's potential role on Orgeron's staff."

    So, there you go. Or he has just been reading the Tiger's Den.

    Thing is would Aranda bolt with Herman to Texas if CEO gets the job at LSU? Aranda and Herman were roomates together in college.

    Strong will have a hard time keeping his job after today. If the admin sticks to their guns he will be ok but if the boosters have their way he's packing!
