JOHN L. SMITH, AKA [NAME ALSO REDACTED] TO BE REDACTED?

Johnelle: gone?

Immediate suspects:

1. Steve Mariucci

2. Steve Mariucci

3. Steve Mariucci

And now: John L. slapping himself. Can't get enough of that...

Goodbye, slappy?

NOTE: Michigan State following the latest rage in coach management: the midseason firing, a la the original [NAME REDACTED] at Florida and John Bunting's "agreement" to step down at North Carolina. (You have to love how "suspicious" things look when you "put" them in "quotation" "marks.") Jeremy Foley is such the trendsetter. In fact, he's gone back to wearing ever so slight a pleat in his pants--expect everyone to be doing the same in a few months.

UPDATE: Watch the live agony here. Warning: may contain autoslapping.
