College Football 2016 Week Eight: Swagless Kelly Slides into your DM's

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
That Ohio State game obviously got interesting, but in general I'm glad last week is over. The slate of games was kinda zzz.

I'm surprised that someone like LSU wouldn't go after Brian Kelly. It seems like common knowledge around college football that the academic and administration impediments at Notre Dame are what are really holding back the program.

Guess Purple Cheeto posted this above but this is a bigger quote.

Mike Leach needs a reality show. There's too much to quote but this is good.

To Leach, the main objective for a team captain is to win the pre-game coin toss. That brings us to the selection of Morrow. Leach said because Morrow won some money on popular show “The Price is Right” a few years ago, he figured he’d be a good choice to send out for the coin toss.

For real.
I’ll let Leach explain (video of his entire explanation is above):

“So then I thought, all the guy really does is the coin toss. And then I decided one of the most screwed up things about this country is in order to do anything, to cross the street, we have a committee. So I figured screw the committee, we really only need one guy. And he’s gotta be smart enough to either call ‘heads’ or ‘tails.’ That’s it,” Leach said.

“So then I thought, ‘Should I get the biggest guy on the team or the littlest guy on the team?’ And then I thought, ‘Jamal Morrow was on The Price Is Right and was fairly lucky and went to the final round and almost won the sucker.’ He was closest to the price but he was over by like three dollars. The other person’s under by like 60 dollars, but since he’s over he loses. So I figured Jamal Morrow’s a lucky guy, plus he’s got pretty good energy to him, so why not Jamal Morrow?

“And then Jamal Morrow goes out and did have an amazing knack for winning the (coin) toss. He wins it almost all the time. I’m serious about this. I don’t know what his record is, but it’s something incredible. But I don’t even really care about that because one way or the other you get the ball one half or the other, except one time when I played Nebraska. Morrow had a funny tendency to win, and then I’m thinking, ‘I don’t want to sit here of and think out a new guy to do it.’ So Jamal Morrow has gone out there for the coin toss for about two-and-a-half years and quite honestly done a tremendous job in my opinion. And then we got on a roll and I liked it even better.”

Leach then went into a story from his time as head coach at Texas Tech when his team kicked off twice to open each half for a game against Nebraska.

We got a commitment from a junior college punter on Sunday.

You know, the day after we played a game where we only punted twice amidst 9 scoring drives.
