Around the Interwebs
by cgb on
Have you ever wanted to read an in depth, and we’re talking cavity search deep, explanation of how the BCS works and why it sucks so much? If you pressed one on your touch-tone phone check out this great post by Amphibious Sports Duo.
Tommy Tuberville who has the fine distinction of going 12-0 in the SEC and not getting a chance to play for National Championship resigned fired from Auburn yesterday.
Nick Saban is a little pissed off at all the SEC firings.
I really question some of the judgment relative to how it is for our game that people who have those kind of relationships and have done that kind of job and affected so many people in a positive way – and have had a reasonable amount of success relative to their circumstances – would not be given more respect and consideration than what these guys have been. So I guess we’re 5-7 away from the same thing.
Texas still has a chance to play for the National Championship. Expect an upheaval from Jort National if this scenario unfolds.
Washington has been in contact with Mike Leech. Look U-Dub if you want to seal the deal you will change your nickname from the Huskies to the Pirates.

Hoorah! Thanks for informing me of the theme. It is bitching.

Leach to Washington is effing brilliant. Not only does he escape competing with Texas and Oklahoma in the Big XII South, but his only competition in the Pac 10 is really USC (that is, until Carroll gets bored of winning Pac 10 titles). If he gets the Huskies to a Rose Bowl, he is a GOD in Seattle.
Plus, it would be easy to park a replica pirate ship in Lake Washington near the western end zone.

Well Washington has a fleet of ships that they call a “Navy”. Ithink Leach could easily convince them to change the name to something a little more “piraty”.

Do you really think he will leave? I’de kind of like him to stay in Lubock. He seems like the perfect fit there, quirky town with a quirky coach. Are the third best Texas players better than the best Washington players?

ESPN radio last night was saying that his agent was insinuating that it was a ploy to get more money a la the Beamer and Bama situation a few years back.

@6: That was my first assumption.
