Well no wonder Carr was owned by Ohio State. He only worked 40 hours a week! I’ll bet you Jim Tressel works at least 42.

Coop,
You forgot that Schembechler held a 11-9-1 record against Ohio State during his tenure.

Raider Red, you can thank Ann Richards for that. She fought to keep her alma mater out of the crap conferences where TCU, SMU, Rice and Houston now reside. I’m not sure if it’s the only thing she did for Baylor football, but for that alone she probably deserves a statue on campus.

#19, Baylor makes Vandy look like a juggernaut. They’re essentially just sitting there drawing a paycheck from the Big 12 for their cut of postseason appearances by other schools. At least Scott Drew has made them competitive in hoops.

Seriously, how upset can LSU fans really be if Miles bolts?

The goal should be to win the national title with all that talent, not go 10-2 every year and annihilate whomever in the Sugar Bowl.

Conversely, Miles’ results in Baton Rouge have to look very appealing to Michigan fans, as his habit of underachieving with tons of talent and never winning a national title will remind them of the man who always got outcoached by someone like Lou Holtz, Hayden Fry and shat the bed on his way to another underachieving season.

Les Miles is Bo Shembecler with a healthy amount of spicy gumbo thrown in for variation.

I am now fully convinced that Les’ skull is actually the shape and size of a large Folger’s Choice coffee can, hence the headwear. I mean, that’s what coffee cans are for, right? Socking away stuff for a rainy day? Any balls left up there, Coach? You gotta game coming up, y’know.

LSU “Giving” Permission Dept:

LSU giving permission to Michigan to interview Les Miles makes about as much sense as the current girlfriend giving permission to the boyfriend to date an old girlfriend. What would be the parting words from the current girlfriend to the boyfriend?

…..”You can go out with her this one time, but no bj’s?!!!”…..

…. Makes no sense.

merely rumors, but aside from Spurrior, I’m hearing Jack Del Rio’s name mentioned a lot.

I submitted my resume for the coaching gig, but they frowned upon my requirement that I not be required to work on gamedays so I can sit in the bar and watch games all day…
I guess i’ll keep looking

The headlines now declare “Osborne Taps Himself As Head Coach.” Can anyone say marshall law?

I applied for the Michigan jobs stating, “What I lack in experience I will surely make up for with enthusiasm.”

In his bit about Hot Pockets, Jim Gaffigan says that the directions should tell you to “cook in microwave, then place directly in toilet.” I think that’s kind of how the Baylor job should work: They should just pay Briles the entire $12.6 million now, let him go 12-36 or whatever, dump him after the customary four years, and start looking for someone else. No need to complicate things.
