Yeah, your last sentence says it all. Obviously playing nobody at home will allow you to win that much.

If OU played Texas as a home/home series instead of in Dallas yearly, they'd be tied with LSU.

Where will Alabama be on the list in another 4 years, only lost 3 at home after the 2007 season.

I almost started to count how many of those wins were against teams with winning records in the season they played. Just glancing over last year there were none—a total of six in the last three years with the biggest, per se, against a 10-4, Hawaii team.

I may go back and count...

I interviewed for a job at Boise State yesterday, and Smurf Turf was a part of the conversation lol ah yes. They have a lot of pride.

[MENTION=18080]PhillyGirl[/MENTION] Who brought up the turf? You? them? Did finding common ground and football happened to be the subject?

@PhillyGirl, if you don't get the job, tell whomever tells you so that their field is a complete embarrassment to college football. :icon_twisted:

They were talking about the school and Boise, and they mentioned having a blue field. I said, "Yes, the Smurf Turf, I've seen it on TV" and they seemed really excited that I knew what that was. They said students are very proud of that and that football is really big there. They kind of laughed too, like ugh .. yes .. our field is hideous but famous .

[MENTION=18080]PhillyGirl[/MENTION], so they flew you up to Boise for an interview? Boise is an interesting area, been there a few times, you'd never know it was high plains desert.

Nope, on the phone interview first. Second round (if I make it) is at Boise. I've heard it's a pretty area.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Thank you, guys! Much appreciated.
