This really is just a confusing story on ESPN.  I’m not really sure what the point is, and after reading it I think I only get about 50% of what’s going on.  I only post and comment on it to 1) point out again that DickRod somehow manages to get tangled up in messy stuff constantly.  It’s fun!   And 2)  to mess with our loyal scUM reader or 2 out there. 

It just seems that Fraudy McFrauderson tends to associate with shady people.   This will not serve him well over time. 

Richy, you should listen to my grandpa, who always said: ”Son, don’t leave your alma mater and cheerleader girlfriend behind in the dead of night, shred your papers, refuse to pay your buyout and then go offer jobs to people from WVU that are accused of being racist.  The last step is the one that will get ya.”  Or something like that.

Charlie Weis and Notre Dame have won and will win as many games against Pac-10 teams in 2007 as Ty Willingham and Washington (2 wins each).

Bonus Fun Schadenfreude Fact of the Day:  Weis has won just as many games against Pac-10 opponents as Ty Willingham since Weis has been at ND and Willingham has been at Washinton (a total of 6 wins each since 2005).  Sub-bonus fact:  Weis and ND’s winning percentage against Pac-10 teams: 67%.  Willingham and UW’s winning percentage against Pac-10 teams: 23%.

(Hat tip to multiple sources across many ND Fan boards.)

Fun thing to ponder:  What are the chances of a Weis coached ND team beating a Willingham coached Washington team in 2008?

Hey, remember when Texas A&M really meant something in football?  They had real pride in the program, had some interesting if not “cool” traditions, and were known for some excellent defense?

Well, apparently Texas A&M no longer takes football seriously.

COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M apparently will not waste much time in naming a replacement for football coach Dennis Franchione, who resigned under pressure after Friday’s win over Texas in the regular-season finale.

A new coach could be introduced as early as Monday but more likely Tuesday.

Texans assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Sherman, a former A&M offensive line coach and head coach of the Green Bay Packers, appears to be the leader in a three-man race.

Others under consideration are former Notre Dame coach and A&M defensive coordinator Bob Davie and Boise State coach Chris Petersen.

The Washington fanbase may have to stop kidding itself now.  2 of Ty Willingham’s latest recruits in the class that achieved vertigo-inducing heights of a top-30 ranking may not be qualified academically for the 2007 season.  Awwwwwww.

I don’t have a funnier headline than that right now.  I think I need a Gatorade or something.  Anyway, it’s enough for now, because all I really wanted to do was share this little column about Washington’s feelings for Ty and get to some excellent quotes:

Upon arrival at the pro shop, I talked to a U-Dub staffer who had some advice.

“If I can make a suggestion with Tyrone, he’s not one to bother while he’s golfing,” she said.

When I approached the 10th tee, Willingham was on the 10th fairway, and I almost went out there to bother him but stopped because I didn’t have good questions and he wouldn’t have good quotes even if I did.

and…

Sean, a Huskies fan who didn’t want to give out his last name, fearing what, I don’t know, said: “I think Ty’s a little overhyped. You talk to some of the alums, and they’re like: ‘Is there something else?’ They’re happy to have Ty, but they’re not enamored with Ty.”

Sean saw Willingham on the range and asked him about his handicap. “He’s a 7,” Sean said. “He’s not recruiting hard enough if he’s a 7.”

Heh.  Now I’m off to get some Rasperatermelime Rush or some such crap.

Tyrone Willingham is apparently not bothered by comments made by Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Jim Mora Jr.

“To be very honest, I haven’t thought very much about this until, gosh, it was a dead issue. I was doing what we do, which is recruit, and that’s where my focus was,” Willingham said Monday.

Mora had made comments on a radio talk show indicating that, if the Washington Huskies Head Coaching job were open, he’d leave Atlanta to take it.  These comments enraged Altanta Falcons ownership and made Huskies fans everywhere wonder where the hell Mora was back in 2004.

As Kermit mentioned yesterday, The Smith was fired from The Michigan State University.

Today the speculatin’ and hootin’ and hollerin’ and what-not begin.  And a Michigan (SUCKS!) paper has mentioned the unmentionable as a possible candidate for the job:

Tyrone Willingham, University of Washington head coach

Pros: Former MSU player has integrity and extensive head-coaching experience. Also has NFL ties.

Con: Coaching ability disproved questioned when fired from Notre Dame.

Lord, I don’t ask for much.  I mean, I was really only kidding when I asked for that car, the new job, a woman who would hold me.  And I know you came thru in a big way in the past, but I need to ask you for this one little favor: PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN.  See, the University of Washington is, well, far away.  And Notre Dame doesn’t play them much.  And few things would put a spring in the step of the world’s children like a yearly match-up between Weis and Ty Willie.  So please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please with whipped cream and a cherry on top, make this happen.  Please!  I swear I will never, ever, ask for anything again.  Ever.  Seriously.  I mean it this time.

If nothing else, think of the comedic value as Ty tries to recruit against Michigan, OSU, and Notre Dame.
