That's all. You put Toledo and OU head-to-head, I'll put money on it that UT wins every time. That is, if our Rockets don't end up letting up in the end.
Nationally known coach who fell asleep at the wheel of his car after a night of drinking? That nationally known coach? It was 8 years ago - so he should not have to be reminded of it, but it is kind of funny and sad. Wonder if he brags about this? He is now 69 years old.

Ohio head football coach Frank Solich, a former Husker player and coach, was convicted of drunken driving, two days after police spotted him slumped over the wheel of his vehicle.
Judge William Grim of Athens Municipal Court found Solich guilty after he pleaded no contest. Grim ordered Solich to complete a three-day driver intervention program, suspended his license for 180 days and fined him $250.
Solich apologized in court. He declined to comment afterward.
The university, in a statement released before his court appearance, said Solich would remain in charge of the Bobcats as it monitored the case.
Solich, 61, appeared to be passed out when police found him Saturday night in the vehicle, which was facing the wrong direction on a one-way street and in drive, according to a police report.
The report said Solich had trouble figuring out to how to roll down the window, had difficulty understanding simple questions and was unsteady on his feet. He refused to take a breath test.
