I really wish I knew anything about making websites because FireTurnerGill.com would be up ASAP. I can’t take it anymore. He switched our top recruit from wide receiver to safety and it failed. He moved our leading rusher from last year to linebacker and then redshirted him because he didn’t pick up the defensive playbook. Duh, he’s a running back. On top of that, in the teams’ three conference games, Kansas has been outscored 149-24. Really?Please fire this man. Bring back Mangino. DO SOMETHING! He had one good year at Buffalo. In the MAC. All that will vindicate his hiring now is if he somehow pulls off a win against Mizzou.

The Tigers knocked off No. 1 Oklahoma and showed that the BCS wasn’t crazy for ranking MU at No. 11 despite the cupcake-esque schedule up to that point.Mizzou showed more balance than anyone thought it had and put on a show in College Gameday’s first-ever appearance in Columbia. It was a good showing -- I’m glad to see OU get knocked off because, let’s be honest, the Sooners weren’t worthy of that No. 1 ranking.

The Ducks have scored over 40 points in every game this season and are No.1 in the AP and Coaches polls, which should have led to a No. 1 BCS ranking. More proof that the BCS is messed up and needs to go.Oregon whipped up on a UCLA team that beat Texas, further proving that the computer messed up in letting OU jump ahead. The Ducks should move to No. 1 and stop the streak at three weeks of the No. 1 team losing. Oregon-Boise State National Championship? Yes, please.

The Longhorns got knocked off by Iowa State. I feel bad for Mack Brown because that is downright pathetic, but it makes me laugh. It also makes me laugh a little bit that Nebraska lost to the Longhorns. The Big XII is in array this season, fitting for the final year of the conference.

I love it. The Gators have lost three straight, but had an open week this week. Maybe Urban Meyer should have retired instead of dealing with the task of replacing Tim Tebow.

I wish the Chiefs could play a whole game like they did the fourth quarter. I know it was the Jaguars, but that was impressive and it puts the Chiefs at 4-2 and well in control of the AFC West. With the second easiest schedule, next to the Cardinals, the rest of the way I’m very optimistic about getting back to the postseason this year. Kansas City could do some damage in the postseason if they put it all together because every game has been close this year and that’s good experience come playoff time.I’m calling it now, the Chiefs will finish 10-6 and win the division. Yes, I know that’s lofty, but that is losses to San Diego in California, Denver in Denver and at Tennessee. Those are the only three teams that should realistically beat the Chiefs. The other loss I threw in there as a fluke, just in case.San Diego is terrible this year and puts up gaudy stats, but no scores. Oakland is, well Oakland. Bruce Gradkowski can’t get it done and Jason Campbell showed why he was shipped out of Washington. Denver is the only team with a shot at taking the division from the Chiefs and the Broncos are nowhere near balanced enough to be a consistent threat week to week.

I honestly feel bad for the players here because they’re being sent a double message by the NFL itself. They market the hits with The NFL’s Greatest Hits videos. Then with the video they made for the teams to show players how to hit, they show a hit that got an unsportsman-like conduct penalty called. No wonder James Harrison considered retirement.Now the players have to worry about getting flagged for hitting the right way. It just keeps getting harder and harder to play defense in the NFL. Before long, it’s going to look like the Pro Bowl or NBA All-Star Game every Sunday – all offense, no defense.

Giants-Rangers, who would’ve thought?This is why I love sports. Sometimes the underdog does pull it off, in this case both underdogs pulled it off. I have no idea who to root for in the Series because I don’t have the Yankees to root against and it’s the first appearance in franchise history for the Rangers.All I know is Linecum-Lee will be an amazing duel, especially if this series goes to seven games and that’s the matchup. I hope it makes it because nothing happens sports-wise on Thursdays, so all eyes would be on that game.Plus, Josh Hamilton is a feel good story after all he’s gone through to get to the biggest stage in his sport. I think I just figured out what team I’m rooting for.A World Series I’m actually excited about, now that’s weird.
