UTAH JUMPS ON THE NEW UNIFORM BANDWAGON
Joining the ranks of Michigan and the ‘Cuse, the Utah Utahs are revamping their uniforms this offseason.
For less informative but more entertaining tidbits from us, click here.
SPURRIER STILL PLAYS WELL IN GAINESVILLE
Demonstrating that the Gator faithful’s hero worship of Spurrier, which only increased during the Zook administration, knows no bounds, the Cool Chicken Returns is reporting that South Carolina’s games and Spurrier’s radio show will be carried on local radio in Gainesville, Florida.
The Gator fans still have a Spurrier fever, for which cowbell will do no good… the only cure to this is Meyer mania.
‘CANES BULKING UP SCHEDULE
Call it the Pete Carroll effect: more and more teams beefing up their schedules in order to boost ticket sales and buffer BCS status with quality victories. We’re not just talking about the fearless midgets of the collegiate world, either; the Miami Hurricanes have added a home and home with Oklahoma for 2007 and 2009, as well as adding Florida for the 2008 season. They watered this down by adding FAMU, too, but may have to cancel the game when the NCAA nukes their football program for 200+ violations. We hope the band still shows up, though.
CFN VS. FIUTAK: PART DEUX
The blogosphere’s ongoing fascination with the man, the myth, the basement-dwelling legend that is Pete Fiutak continues. CFN takes Fiutak’s latest mailbag to the shredder here. We think Pete sometimes gets a little caught up in hypotheticals here, which makes us thank God he fell in love with football and not alternate-universe Star Wars fan fiction. The last thing this world needs is more of that.(”What if Wookies could be Jedis? Do you want to read my 800-page masterpiece? Hey, where are you going?”)
In another world, Pete would think a lot about wookies. By the way, who knew Chewbacca could give bedroom eyes?
MATT HAYES, HATIN’ ON READERS IN 360 DEGREES
We appreciate his longer form articles, but after reading Dr. Z this morning, we can’t help but hate on Matt Hayes for his snide treatment of his readers in his latest mailbag. Maybe he does reply nicely to readers in private, but all we ever see on his TSN mailbags are spiteful rebuttals of readers’ opinions and cursory, contemptuous answers to their questions.
If we had readers we could enjoy the same luxury, but until then we’ll continue to be nice to those who write in or leave comments. Unless we disagree with you, of course, in which case you may fuck off at your leisure, loser.
ALABAMA AD OFFERED 5 YEAR EXTENSION
The legacy of the Bear will continue at Alabama for a few more years. Former Bear Bryant assistant coach and current athletic director (since 1999) Mal Moore has been offered a 5 year extension to remain as the Crimson Tide Athletic Director until 2010. This makes sense, of course, given the unbridled success of Alabama football (and that is the only sport that matters in Tuscaloosa) in Moore’s tenure which has included an NCAA probation, the firing of coaches Mike DuBose and Mike “Lap Dance” Price, the abandonment by coach Dennis Franchione and the hiring of current Coach Mike Shula (fate to be determined this year).
Mike DuBose: some of the good work done by Mal Moore at Alabama.

Does Urban Meyer have some Urban Flava?
THE FOOTBALL WRITER WE WOULD TAKE A PUNCH IN THE FACE FOR. .
He doesn’t cover college, which is a shame since he’s old enough to remember when the single-wing was total hotness. Paul Zimmerman’s mailbag reminds us why he’s the only football writer we’d take a punch in the face for.
