Think A&M will be a good game, but i'm betting most A&M fans are like most OU fans, it's the quasi get back at you for leaving etc... But, I'd much rather have faced offf with LSU or UGA just to see an opponent i haven't seen 20 times the last 20 years. I'm sure the Aggies would have liked to try out the Peach bowl or Sunny Orlando, Clemson ATM woulda been a cool game.

Bielema to Arkansas is just weird all around. I don't see how its a good fit for either side other than Bielema getting a raise. I know fans of the other Big Ten schools ate going to really enjoy it if he goes down there and gets drilled on a weekly basis.

Clemson/Aggies would have been awesome. We, or at least, I was hoping for A&M/texas in the cotton bowl. But that would have been a shitty game. Most of us Aggies are proud to be facing a 10-2 OU team that only lost to Kstate in big XIi play. That says something. The Aggies average 552 ypg and the Sooners 507 or 502 or something crazy. The over/under has been set by Vegas at 71.5 with the Aggies a 4.5 point favorite. This cotton bowl will be the best one since being hosted at Jerry World, IMO. Im hoping for a shoot out with the "heisman trophy winner" but i have a sinking sensation this will go under, by a lot. OU and The Aggies both have defense, it will be very entertaining. I was going to attend, but nose bleeds in the end zones are $200? Sideline nose bleeds are $300-$400. Ill stay home and watch from the sofa.

Gonna be a great game. Gl Sooners!

Well Cal has their Coach..

Another Air Raid team now in the PAC 12.. I hope they/he hires a good Def Coordinator .

Cal hires Sonny Dykes from La. Tech
ESPN.com news services

California has hired Louisiana Tech coach Sonny Dykes in hopes the offensive mastermind can revive a program that struggled in recent years under the fired Jeff Tedford.

Athletic director Sandy Barbour announced the hire Wednesday night. Dykes will be formally introduced at a news conference on Thursday.

Dykes, 43, led Louisiana Tech to a 9-3 season that included road wins over Illinois and Virginia and a 59-57 loss to Texas A&M. The Bulldogs were 22-15 in three seasons under Dykes.

"We think what we will do on offense will put a charge into the program and give a spike in recruiting," Dykes told ESPN on Wednesday night after meeting with his former team. "We want excitement. I want to sell it to the alumni, boosters, players, families, fans and high school coaches. I want to hit the ground running."

Dykes said the combination of California's academic reputation and financial investment to facilities and athletics made it impossible to pass up.

"The Rose Bowl is the standard every team in the league should aim for," Dykes said. "We were a two-overtime game away from playing for it when I was (an assistant) at Arizona."

Dykes said his staff has recruiting connections in California and they will "hustle" and "focus" on in-state recruiting by "selling the value of the Cal education."

"Sonny Dykes is one of the brightest offensive minds in the country, running a high-octane style of football, one that I'm certain will allow our student-athletes to thrive and that our community will love on game day," Barbour said in a statement. "However, it was far more than his history of a top-ranked offense and his proven success on the football field that solidified my decision; it was the way he described his responsibility to the University at large and his commitment to creating a climate of comprehensive excellence and success for his student-athletes."

Cal (3-9) went 2-7 in the Pac-12 under Tedford this season.

Dykes will benefit from a facilities upgrade that Tedford helped engineer. Cal opened its remodeled $321 million stadium this past season that is adjacent to a $150 million on-campus High Performance Center.

"I have great respect for the remarkable job (Tedford) did in building this and doing it the right way," Dykes said.

There was no immediate word on the terms of Dykes' contract. Cal still owes Tedford $6.9 million over the final three years of his deal, though Barbour had said the sides were working on a settlement.

Dykes' teams averaged 35.9 points and 452.5 yards per game in his tenure at Louisiana Tech. He takes over a Cal team that missed a bowl for the second time in three years. Dykes inherits a roster with some talent, most notably heralded quarterback recruit Zach Kline, who did not play as a freshman but who is in line to win the starting job next season.

Tedford, once known as a quarterback guru for his work with Joey Harrington, Kyle Boller and Aaron Rodgers, struggled in his later years at Cal to find an elite passer. The Bears had a 34-37 record in Tedford's final 5½ years, leading to his dismissal.

I'm ok with this... He is an offensive coach and will have the resources and money to actually get a good DC. Sounds like if he does that he will be successful. Still, I would hav liked someone a bit more proven, don't want to go the way of Colorado.

Arkansas fans, I give you your new coach:

Spoiler!

[Cnasty]
