Norm Hitzges wakes up on a Monday just wondering if Jerry Jones might’ve accidentally told the truth. After the Cowboys outgunned the Commanders in a game that went from “uh oh” to “oh wow” in three plays, Norm takes us through the anatomy of a good ol’ fashioned Dallas redemption arc — complete with Dak Prescott magic, George Pickens highlights, and the Cowboys briefly looking like they actually practiced defense.

But don’t worry — college football’s here to ruin the mood. Norm dives into the firing frenzy across the NCAA, where coaches are being tossed out faster than empty beer cups at the Cotton Bowl. Between NIL chaos, impatient alumni, and point spreads deciding careers, it’s a brave new world where winning the game isn’t enough — you’d better cover, too.

So pour yourself some coffee (or something stronger), and join Norm as he unpacks why the Cowboys’ season might not be dead yet — and why every college football coach probably needs a therapist on payroll.
