AUSTIN, Texas -- The ending to this wild week in Austin is easy to imagine: Charlie Strong crowd-surfing over his Texas players one more time in a jubilant celebration of a last-minute victory over TCU.
But then what?
Welcome to Texas’ Black Friday, a high-stakes moment for the program starring a head coach who has already heard reports he’ll be fired but still hasn’t been informed of his fate. Strong’s last stand Friday against TCU promises to be an enigmatic affair.
It’s hard to believe beating a 5-5 TCU team to clinch a bowl bid can instantly change everything.
