COORDINATORS HUH HUH HUH? Nothing yet. As we noted on the Twitters this morning, be prepared for a new offensive coordinator each hour until someone is actually hired. Ditto for the floating offer to Kirby Smart at Alabama for the defensive coordinator. If you can slow down the video of Muschamp's presser, you can hear the distinct phrase "there is no timetable" for hiring a staff, so we could be waiting for a while. SPECULATION IN THE MEANTIME WILL PROCEED APACE.

BRANTLEY UPDATE: Even after the Muschamp press conference, John Brantley has no idea what he'll be doing next year and that includes the possibility of a transfer. He's waiting like the rest of us, but doing it with a few broken ribs and the thousand yard stare that only comes from being crushed to powder on the field of play. The departure from the spread could help any pitch to make Brantley stay, and will also give Gary Danielson one lonely data point from which he will deduce the death of the spread. Again. For like the fifth year in a row. Usually during a game where it's working really well.

AL'S GOLDEN NOTEBOOK. Al Golden had a 300 page book called "Deserve Victory" written and prepared for his interview with Miami AD Kirby Hocutt, complete with the "U" logo on the front and multiple "U" labeled tabs. Someone at Kinko's hates Al Golden. Hocutt was impressed with the football content, but insisted the lengthy passages describing the protagonist of the story, one "Hal Bolden," masturbating at length to applause from fellow spa-goers were "unnecessary, especially the 73 page one where Bolden enters the women spa and is coerced into a marathon session by a women's water polo team."

HEY LET'S MAKE THAT THING ILLEGAL YOU KNOW THE EMBARRASSING ONE SURE. The NCAA's president Mark Emmert is still trying to explain the Cam Newton ruling. He describes it as "complex," the same word we use when trying to explain our most rank bullshit arguments, too. "Officer, the bale of cocaine in the trunk is strictly for traction on these icy roads. I have a deviated septum! You know cocaine can't be good for that!"

SPEAKING OF: It takes a kind of madness to sketch Cam Newton with this kind of love, and we say that as someone who will own this by Christmas. (Punch, beaten: drawing costs $200K but for you special deal $180K we say it so you don't have to.)

THE LONG AND SHORT OF THE IOWA PRESS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY. Two Iowa players only are being affected by the drug testing at Iowa, but other athletes likely found their way around the tests, most likely using our favorite method: enter stall, pretend penis is bucking bronco/divining rod, and begin wheeling around the room yelling "WHOA!" while urinating wildly all over the room. Once Iowa says you can't do that, they should be fine.

 

THAT IS A MUCH BETTER IDEA. Focus groups don't know shit if they saw this and rejected it in favor of the Big Ten SlothFlakes Cereal Logo. (Via Reddit.)

ISN'T IT LIKE A PREHISTORIC KANSAS? Ohio State players know nothing about Arkansas, thus making them honorary Arkansans. in short, Ohio State fans and players,  here is what you need know about Arkansas:

  • Currency: knucklebones from animals larger than a hog but smaller than a cow
  • Famous Arkansans: Bill Clinton, his penis, Yukio Mishima, a salamander named Dave, and Jean Smart's hair from the third season of Designing Women. (Oh, you take skinny Delta Burke; we'll take the strapping cowgirl every time, you most spankable Designing Woman, you.)
  • Ryan Mallett is their quarterback. He's like Terrelle Pryor, but happy to be alive and stuff.
  • The state bird is a clay pigeon with your face on it.  
  • Bear Bryant once wrestled a bear in Arkansas. Bear Bryant went on to become the greatest football coach of all time. The bear became Governor and held his office despite a long series of rape, fraud, and rapefraud allegations.
  • Houston Nutt still maintains a home address in Arkansas at a booth in a Hardee's in Little Rock, the second biggest city in the state. Its population is exceeded only by its capital, Memphis. 
  • The most famous song ever written about Arkansas is "Five Feet High and Rising" by Johnny Cash, a song about uncontrollable flooding and the havoc it wreaks. Cash watched his brother cut himself in half with a radial saw and die in Arkansas. This marked the funniest thing to ever happen in the state of Arkansas.

That should cover you for now. Feel free to use those as talking points with media, as they are all vetted facts put out by the Arkansas State Tourism Board.

WILL THE LADY WITH THE BLACK HAIR AND RED LIPSTICK BE THERE TO TELL US DISCOUNT! Signing on to be a bowl sponsor at the last minute? DISCOUNT. We would sleep with the Progressive lady, but we'd really just be angling for a cut on insurance rates, and a hefty one at that. If she comes back with like a 2% discount, you know you failed your test in Bedroom Arena, since respect starts at 15% and love at 30%.

Read up on the unionization of the coal mines

The coal bosses brought in buncj=hes of Italian miners hoping to break the unionization process. However, the Italians also knew what a ‘syndicato’ was.

The peppoeroni roll was a staple of the Italian miner’s lunch box and became almost universally loved by all in WV.

Mich fans by UF fans
NW fans by Vandy fans
Purwho = OM
PSU = Auburn
Nebraska = UT
Indiana = MissSt
Arky = Mich St
SC = Minny*
Wisky = LSU (nothing really compares to LSU, but the drinking in Wi is the best the B10 can offer)

That leaves Illionois & UGA which I don’t think really compare but the rest of the list seems somewhat comparable.

that there are similarities between between MichSt and Auburn, Auburn’s history and national prominence is closer to PSU in my opinion. PSU fans are underrated in their ability to make others want to gouge said PSU fan’s eyes out with a Pilot Dr Grip ball point pen. In this way, I think Auburn is comparable to PSU.

I doubt Cryst leaves though. He was offered the HC position at Purdue before they hired Hope and he turned it down. So the question becomes, does he think being OC at Texas is better than being the Head Coach at Purdue.

would like you to know that Will Muschamp is determined to be the best Will Muschamp a Will Muschamp can be. As long as Will Muschamp is the head coach at the University of Will Muschamp, Will Muschamp will be a part of this program. The University of Texas was very good to Will Muschamp and my family, but a Will Muschamp opportunity doesn’t Will Muschamp very often. Mack was happy for Will Muschamp, and that’s just the way Will Muschack Brownamp is. He knew Will Muschamp was ready to be Will Muschamp.

Not yet,

But here’s a nice story about them from older brother Mike:
""The game was called ‘I throw, Pat catches, and Will tries to intercept,’ " says Mike Muschamp, a high school coach in Atlanta and former quarterback at Duke. “We would play for hours.”

Will played a similar game in Gainesville...

…as a collegiate. In the role of Mike and Pat was Danny Wuerffel and Chris Doering.

Can someone please explain to this Georgia fan while Emmit Smith didn’t get mentioned? Or what beef the UF administration has with Emmit? Beyond, of course, the Just for Men commercials.

Emmit played in the probation years where there was no television coverage.

Therefore, people who weren’t at the stadium never witnessed the greatness and so it slips through the cracks sometimes.

I was there.

The worst thing about the last 25 years is SMU’s slide into total irrelevancy. There is a whole generation who doesn’t know where SMU is, what SMU stands for (someone here referred to the CUSA championship game a couple weeks ago as a game between directional schools, which SMU most certainly is not), or that it was once a nationally prominent football school. Everyone loves a redemption story, and judging from the commitments SMU got last week and the other schools that had offers, I’d say Jones is right that just reminding people that SMU has a football history, even if tainted, is a positive thing.

Until that film, I had forgotten what a powerhouse SMU was in their day.

My last impression of them was watching them beat UAB at Legion Field (ca. 2005?) on a last play Hail Mary. Watson Brown had apparently been attacked by a lesmiles mental fog, and had to punt with :23 left and a 4 point lead, when UAB could have simply run out the clock with some smart clock management. A couple of 15 yard completions to midfield, and bam the 50 yd TD at the buzzer. Hilarity and cursing ensued..

of German/Austrian Catholic farmers and woodsmen. My mother was a Heckel. My great-grandfather Heckel immigrated from Austria. I was nine when he died. Pappy Heckel was a character.

Your Grandma will find me very respectful. After all, I was trained by the two greatest teaching orders of the Catholic faith; the Dominicans and the Jesuits.

but seriously

i think they’re just setting up a sitcom. tebow and his wife and their 15 precocious children living in the philippines, with urban as the crazy uncle who teaches life lessons and gets a laughtrack everytime he opens up the meyer-glare.

plus there could be a ‘very special episode’ dealing with blood pressure and heart disease.

I just had an image of

Mary Lou Retton playing Tebow’s wife.

Actually OSU is right in the middle of the academic rankings of the Big 10 according to USN&WR

List of SEC schools ranked higher than OSU, Vanderbilt, Florida and Georgia, although Florida and Georgia are really close to the same rank as OSU. Those are also the only schools ranked higher than the lowest ranked team in currently in the Big 10 (MSU tied at 79th) if we include Nebraska (ranked 104) then Bama (tied at 79 with Michigan State) and Auburn (ranked 85) get in to the mix.

I don’t think academics has anything to do with college football, so I don’t bring it up, but I’m not sure an Arkansas fan should bag on intelligence though. Arkansas-Fayetteville is ranked 132, the only schools in either conference ranked lower are Mississippi state at 151 and Ole Miss at 143.

Wisconsin, Penn State, and Illinois are also ranked higher according to the latest rankings

OSU is ranked 56th. Northwestern in 12th, Michigan is 29th, Wisconsin is 45, Illinois and PSU are tied at 47, and Purdue is 55. These are the rankings listed by US News and World Report, the Princeton Review and Business Week probably have different rankings.
