AUSTIN, Texas -- Charlie Strong may be coaching his last game at Texas.With a 16-20 record in three seasons, Strong has been told his future will be evaluated after Fridays regular-season finale at home against TCU. That comes against the backdrop of multiple media reports that the decision to fire him has already been made.Strong said this week he hopes thats not the case, and that school administrators have promised him a full season before evaluating his future.And, he said, he most certainly wants to come back . He has two years left on a contract that pays him more than $5 million per year.I look at the job that this staff has done and I look at the players that they have put in place and I look at just how far we have come. The wins and losses, they dont stack up, but still, you are looking at a young football team and a team that, when you get everything back in place for the upcoming year, its got a lot of talent, Strong said.Strong said he hopes beating TCU would work in his favor, but school President Greg Fenves, who been an strong advocate for the coach this season, has remained silent since Texas lost at lowly Kansas last week.A win would make the Longhorns bowl eligible, marking a slight improvement over last season. But thats a big part of the problem. He was hired to bring Texas back to the top of the Big 12. That Texas has to fight just to make a bowl game is not where Longhorns fans expect their program to be.You asked this guy to come in and change the culture and hes done that, senior linebacker Tim Cole said. Im telling you, hes going to be pay dividends for this program, for this fan base. Hes going to build a dynasty here.TCU coach Gary Patterson, who handed Strong two of his most humiliating losses the past two seasons, is also trying to push his team to a bowl game in what has been a disappointing season. He expects the Longhorns to bring an emotional effort Friday.Theyll be playing for their coach, Patterson said. Thats such a big motivator.Some things to watch for when the Longhorns (5-6, 3-5 Big 12) meet the Horned Frogs (5-5, 3-4):DONTAS MARCHTexas running back DOnta Foreman is having one of the best rushing seasons in school history and is approaching 2,000 yards. Hes one of three finalists for the Doak Walker Award given to the nations top running backs. But hes also coughed up some key fumbles, including a late one against Kansas that set-up the game-tying drive.INCONSTENT QUARTERBACKSTexas Shane Buechele finally had a freshman-like game at Kansas, throwing a pick-six interception and another in overtime that set up the Jayhawks winning field goal. TCUs Kenny Hill has thrown 12 interceptions and was pulled from last weeks blowout home loss to Oklahoma State.TURPIN TORNADOThe Horned Frogs KaVonte Turpin ripped Texas with four touchdowns in a 50-7 win last season. He missed four games this season with an injury, but has 13 catches and a touchdown in the last three games.MISSING MALIKTexas middle linebacker Malik Jefferson missed most of the last two games with a head injury. His coaches hope their second-leading tackler, who has 4+ sacks, can return this week.STRONGS EXITStrongs players love him. More than 50 showed up for his Monday news conference, and theyve put him on their shoulders after big wins before. Strong may get carried off again, win or lose, on Friday by a group of players who see him as much of a father figure as a coach.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Fake Jordans For Sale . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. Fake Air Jordan 32 .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. http://www.fakeairjordan.com/ . The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope.

Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield.

Friday, September 23Geelong ($1.62) vs. Sydney ($2.35), MCG at 7:50pmTeam news: Geelong will be well rested after enjoying their extra week off and likely to welcome back defender Lachie Henderson from injury. Despite Mick Malthouse calling for the Cats to drop Jimmy Bartel, the veteran is also expected to be named in the side.The Swans on the other hand will head to the MCG with a number of injury concerns. Skipper Jarrad McVeigh and speedster Gary Rohan are both in doubt after picking up injuries in last weeks semifinal win over Adelaide.Both sides will be aiming to make a fifth grand final appearance in 12 years.Key head-to-head: Patrick Dangerfield vs. Tom MitchellIs it too simple to say: stop Dangerfield and stop Geelong? Probably, but such is Dangerfields impact that the Swans must place huge emphasis on stopping the dynamic midfielder.In the only previous game between these two sides this season, in Round 16, Dangerfield produced one of the most dominant quarters in recent memory, winning?18 possessions in the first term.The Dangerfield destruction forced John Longmire into using Mitchell as a tagger on the rampaging Cat, and he certainly limited Dangerfields influence after the first break, helping?the Swans to an impressive 38-point win at Simonds Stadium.While coaches prefer the we have to worry about the whole team, not just one player approach, its fair to say Longmire and his coaching staff will be putting plenty of hours into how to combat Dangerfield -- and Mitchell will almost certainly be given the task from the opening bounce.If Dangerfield can defy the Swans plans, Geelong will have one foot in the grand final. If Mitchell brings his kryptonite to curb the AFLs Superman, the Swans may win through.Geelong: B Corey Enright, Tom Lonergan, Lachie Henderson HB Jake Kolodjashnij, Harry Taylor, Andrew Mackie C Cameron Guthrie, Joel Selwood, Scott Selwood HF Steven Motlop, Rhys Stanley, Mark Blicavs F Lincoln McCarthy, Tom Hawkins, Jimmy Bartel FOL Zac Smith, Patrick Dangerfield, Mitch Duncan I/C Jed Bews, Josh Caddy, Josh Cowan, Sam MenegolaSydney: B Dane Rampe, Aliir Aliir, Nick Smith HB Harrison Marsh, Heath Grundy, Jeremy Laidler C Jake Lloyd, Josh P.ddddddddddddKennedy, Isaac Heeney HF George Hewett, Lance Franklin, Luke Parker F Tom Papley, Kurt Tippett, Ben McGlynn FOL Sam Naismith, Dan Hannebery, Kieren Jack I/C Zak Jones, Tom Mitchell, Xavier Richards, Gary RohanKey Stat: Eight of the last nine matches between these sides have been decided by a margin over 20 points.UBET verdict:?Sydney have won three of the past four meetings against Geelong, but picked up a couple of injuries in last weeks win over Adelaide.Normally in finals matches, the bet numbers are heavily weighted towards the underdogs, with the bigger money bets on the favourites, but on this occasion Geelong lead the way in both categories. On paper it looks like being close.Weather: Partly cloudy with a top of 17. No rain expected.Prediction: The last time these sides met in a final it was an epic, with Nick Davis booting four final term goals to emerge as an unlikely hero for the Swans. Both sides have classy midfields and you can expect them to be locked in an arm-wrestle all night.But, this game will be won by the key forwards. Can Tom Hawkins clunk his marks and kick accurately to guide the Cats to victory, or will Lance Franklin write another chapter of Buddy finals folklore??Tip: Swans?by 10 points.Enter your ESPNfootytips AFL selections ' ' '
