I guess I earned this one? I don’t know. I just enjoyed the true irony of his quotes on communication and leaders this week. Truth be told, I was a little embarrassed by this. But just a little. Because when I thought, “How am I going to get interviews with players next fall?” I quickly snapped out of it and remembered the next game is in 2020 and Edsall will have surely gotten over this by then and he’ll be more worried about who Quinnipiac is playing that week.

Dana Holgosen tried to block me in the news conference Tuesday when I said “red zone” and he saw red and tuned me out. But Elijah Wellman is a part of WVU’s red zone resurgence. Fact.

You can read all you want about the game if you like, but I have three other diversions for you.

Separate Oklahoma podcasts!

The first is with Blatant Homerism.

The second is with the gentlemen at The Oklahoman, the wonderfully named “Non-Fiction Writers.”

Thirdly, I’m traveling today, and I’ll pull the cord and rev up the live post in the morning. For now, let’s hear predictions with a twist. Winner and score, themed with a Jim Ross quote or a Toby Keith lyric. I believe in you all.
