1. Kansas fires former Florida offensive coordinator Charlie Weis

Sorry, Charlie. Weis, that is. Charlie Strong’s Texas team clubbed Kansas, 23-0, putting the Jayhawks out of their misery.

Weis, not Brady Hoke, became the first power conference coach to lose his job this season.

The reaction has been humorous. To wit:

The worst part of it, or the best if you’re Weis, is that he’s going to get paid $4.6 million next year by Notre Dame and Kansas. Even more if he picks up a coordinator job somewhere (which doesn’t seem all that prudent of a move for an FBS school).

Florida’s offense hasn’t been the same since Weis put his stink on it.

Former Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron is being mentioned as a potential replacement.

2. Michigan keeps Hoke (for now), much to the surprise of many.

In addition to a half-full home stadium on hand for a blowout loss against Minnesota, Hoke botched the handling of QB Shane Morris, inserted as a starter in place of Devin Gardner.

Michigan put Morris back in the game after he suffered a concussion and appeared visibly woozy, leaning on an offensive lineman to keep from falling over. Then it took days for the Wolverines to acknowledge the mistake. Hoke held a press conference that made Roger Goodell look like a public relations savant. Hoke came across as overwhelmed and disconnected.

The students have also been calling for the job of athletic director Dave Brandon. One enterprising fan even changed his Wikipedia page to represent him as an unemployed pizza delivery guy.

Hoke will be fired at some point in 2014. It’s just a matter of when.

3. Mike Leach predicted the end of the human race.

Responding to a question about technology, Leach went on an unintentionally hilarious, slippery-slope rant:

I’m not really good with technology. All this button pushing and whatnot. I mean, you can just imagine based on what’s happened in the last 15 years. Conversations won’t happen 10 years from now. There aren’t going to be people to talk to, it’s going to be this (mimics pushing buttons). ‘Do you want to go out on a date with me?’ ‘I don’t know, what do you look like?’ ‘Well I look kind of like this.’ ‘OK, what are your interests?’ ‘Well, what do you think my interests are? Looking to this thing and typing into this just like yours are.’ ‘Yeah, no kidding, that’s what everybody’s doing.’ ‘Well, where do you want to go?’ ‘Well, what difference does it make? Because all we’re going to be doing is looking into machines anyways.’ Well, that’s true and in the end, it’s going to tough to perpetuate the species. There’s no question about that. So we’re all going to look in this box and eventually be extinct. That’s how it ends.

4. The Ohio State student that ran on the field and got body-slammed lost his scholarship.

Apparently he was an engineering student in the Evans Scholars program. I figured he’d have lesser credentials — maybe like the Ohio Bobcats mascot from a few years before that didn’t even attend the school and attacked Brutus.

But did anyone else think Anthony Schlegal got a little carried away with his takedown? It’s almost as if he’d been fantasizing about the moment when a fan ran onto the field.

5. Penn State’s players pulled a Florida and blocked each other.

I would say this is James Franklin’s funny way of trolling the SEC — a subtle wink — but the Nittany Lions got hammered by Northwestern.

6. Utah State QB Chuckie Keeton is out for the year — again.

Keeton has thrown for more than 6,000 yards and 58 touchdowns in his career, but tore ligaments in his knee against BYU last year and re-injured the knee this season.

SEC fans may have noticed how horrid Utah State’s offensive line is this season by catching the Sunday game against Tennessee to open the season. Keeton is a talented quarterback, but he had no chance to perform well with this year’s team and almost no chance of making it through the season unscathed, unfortunately.

7. No. 2 Oregon fell to Arizona, 31-24, on Thursday night.

The Ducks got the loss out of the way early this year and now are free to lose to Stanford without the usual angst.
