Looks like MSU has finally picked a replacement for John The Smith. I suspect they're holding off announcing until this whole UM/OSU/Bo Knows Death thing washes over. This looks like an excellent hire for MSU, as Grantham is sure to bring along some of that winning tradition from Cleveland. ...

Bo Schembechler Dies. tOSU Fans Prepare Gameday Signs, Look To Raise Bar on “Shock and Awe.”
Bo Schembechler, legendary coach of the Michigan football team and hater of Big 10 Schedules that include Notre Dame, has died. We wont pick on the guy right now. May he rest in peace. And may the FTC/Standards and Practices people at ESPN and ABC limber up for a busy day in Columbus tomorrow. ...
Friday Roundup: Bond. James Bond.
In case you haven't heard, the OSU, that's the University of Ohio [the] State, and the University of Michigan are playing a football game this weekend to determine who will be crowned "The Only Team In The BCS Championship Game About Whom Nobody's Bitching." This is a valued position, dude. But the real event this weekend is that the newest James Bond movie, "Casino Royale" is being released. And not only does it promise to live up to my personal level of blood-lust, but I gotta believe a ...
Apocalypse Now?
In the build up to the 2005 USC/Notre Dame football game, we heard a lot of hype: "Game for the Ages," "One for the History Books," and "Game of the Century" were thrown around in reference to the game before and after (at least until the National Championship Game). It was clear that this game was expected to be looked upon by history. So it makes me chuckle every time I see the way the media has chosen to hype this weekend's game between #1 Ohio State and #2 Michigan: "Football ...
The Lights Go Out At Mansfield
Mansfield University is shutting off the lights after an 0-10 season in D2 Football. This is newsworthy because they were actually the first college team to ever turn the lights on. Budget Constraints are being blamed. It must have cost a lot of money to keep the lights on since 1892. ...
Remember When Congress Asked The NCAA To Justify Itself?
Well, Myles Brand has responded (PDF). And his response is genius. Not for content, but for mechanics. See, Myles has written a response so boring that now living being could ever get thru it in one sitting. I've tried twice today. I just can't do it. I'm gonna need to break it up into pages and take careful notes before I can figure out if Myles has actually said anything. If you choose to read it, good luck. ...

Florida’s Weed Problem Growing Like Weeds
Urban Meyer is a man on a mission. A mission to earn a spot in the National Championship game. But that mission may be derailed if this sort of thing keeps up. WCJB-TV 20 Sports has learned Florida defensive end Jarvis Moss has been suspended for Saturday's game against Western Carolina. Moss tested positive for marijuana. After practice Tuesday night, Gator head coach Urban Meyer would only say "We're dealing with something right now, but I'm not ready to announce that." Shocking. Really. ...
Bowden Out at FSU.
No. Not that Bowden. No. Not that Bowden. He works for ABC. No. Not that one either. He's still coaching at Clemson. The other Bowden. The one so horrid at his job that even Daddy ain't keepin' him around no more. Thanks to EDSBS for pointing out Jeff's "resignation." It reminds us of George Bush 1's "resignation" from the office of the president, except with less offensive firepower. [youtube]XnOnDatqENo[/youtube] See Jeff? That's offensive firepower! ...
