The light has come on at Valley Ranch.
Hide de wimmen ‘n chill’runs.
TCU 56, at SMU
T0at Indiana State 38, Liberty 19
at #12 Georgia 35, Tennessee 32
#6 Texas A&M 35, Arkansas 28 (at Arlington, TX)
When things go bad for you, they really  go bad.
Ask SMU.  They thought they had a touchdown in the second quarter when Garrett Krstich completed a pass to Darius Joseph off Ranthony Texada, off whom Joseph rolled on the way to the end zone.  Alas, Joseph’s elbow touching the turf downed him.
And as the Ponies drove towards a score towards the end of the game, QB Matt Davis was sacked on the game’s final play.
C’est la vie.

Okay, Denizens, remember a couple weeks ago when I said this?
This is Charlie Weis’ last year, you heard it here first
Such was the disgust at getting shut out by a rebuilding T-Sip Shortdick Longhorn team that the so-called “answer” to the Turner Gill fiasco got canned Sunday.
After he won only one Big 12 game during his tenure at Kansas, the Jayhawks have fired head coach Charlie Weis.
He was in the third year of a five-year contract.
Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen will take over as interim head coach, athletic director Sheahon Zenger said.
“I normally do not favor changing coaches mid-season,” Zenger said in a statement. “But I believe we have talented coaches and players in this program, and I think this decision gives our players the best chance to begin making progress right away.”
Weis went 6-22 at Kansas and won one of 19 conference games, his only Big 12 victory coming last year against West Virginia. Weis also only had two other victories against FBS competition. He is the second coach in a row to be dismissed at Kansas before reaching the end of his contract. Weis replaced Turner Gill, who was let go after the 2011 season.

Speaking of Turner. his Flames got nowhere against Indiana State.  They threw the ball well enough, but were 1 for 12 on 3rd & 4th down, with only 33 total rushing yards.  That won’t cut it on any level.

And that message seems to have finally penetrated the rockheads at Cowgirl Central.
Demarco Murray ran 24 times for 149 yards – his fourth straight 100-yard game.  Only Emmitt Smith (twice) and Tony Dorsett have done that for this franchise.
With that dependence on the run, and leaning on the rebuilt offensive line, old El Choko hasn’t had to put the team on his shoulders lately.  The results are promising for Cowboy fans.
That won’t get them back in the PFW, of course – but at least I can watch good football from two  teams on Sunday.

As you know, I occasionally declare a Perfect Football Weekend™ by Executive Fiat™.  This is going to be one of those weeks.
For in addition to SMU & Arkansas losing – two other of my most hated teams (Anti-Teams) bit the dust Saturday:
Oh, it was such  a PFW. 
This week:  5-2.  Perfect Football Weekend™ declared (3).  Overall:  28-5.
The PFW will return on Friday, when we’ll see if Arlington Heights is for real.
