    I was originally on the train that Herman would get a mulligan year due to Covid regardless of his W/L. It's pretty evident that he has no clue how to have a winning program here and entertaining another year is just a recipe for wasting even more time and resources. Again, all depends on donors being fine with parting with a massive amount of money to get rid of him. There is no more upside to Herman. He's losing recruits. He's not developing players. He's not winning incredibly winnable games. The downside of a bye is we have 2 weeks to stew on this loss. I'd much prefer another game next weekend, just to have something else to focus on. 

    This is how I come at it. Mentally the players are shot. The pandemic, race relations, etc. have probably been managed by the players as best as they could. They have nothing to play for now, there's a failure stink around Herman being a lame duck. The players have all the more reason to throw in the towel and as a result Herman has officially lost the team. Question for the administration and boosters is how much can they raise and when does Herman's buyout drop enough to formally fire him and launch a "coaching search."

    Speaking of speed.  Why is it that our running backs and wide receivers get run down by defensive backs?  I don't know that I have seen a Texas WR run away from a DB since the Shipleys.

    Duvernay? Marquise? What?

    I spent about 8 years of my career regularly traveling to Calabassas/Westlake/Agoura Hills/Russell Ranch etc etc area.   It had to be some really really shitty weather to confuse the 101 out there with one of those other roads.  Amazing it may have happened just like that.  Spatial disorientation is a scary SOB.  

    I remember walking out this morning and thinking the fog was particularly thick. I can't imagine flying a helicopter in that, above the 101 through that mountain pass to Thousand Oaks.
