Can you find all the ‘fuck’s hidden on the rock? The penis is a great touch too.

My take, it’s a business. Lane Kiffin took an excellent job for an elite one. If he had failed and Tennessee had fired him none of the masses would be crying foul. As for the hire itself, it’s the best USC could do at the time. The Trojans get a big energetic personality at the helm and Monte, Orgeron and NORM, to, you know, handle the actual coaching. Kiffin’s record isn’t particularly impressive, but he won games (yes plural) in Oakland under they eye of Darth Davis and exceeded expectations at Tennessee.

On the other hand, and to put it mildly, Tennessee is screwed. I don’t think they’ll be able to hire a new coach and assemble a staff on such short notice that’ll be able to keep together their recruiting class. The most logical thing Tennessee could do is take their lumps, forget about trying to keep Kiffin’s recruits, and hire someone that’s committed to Tennessee for the long haul.

Oh and there were riots. Check out Rocky Top Talk for more.

Marcell Dareus’ interception for touchdown return was a thing of beauty. Oh and he injured Colt McCoy. MVP, MVP, MVP. (edit: 100% sarcasm, which when you are writing a post [as meager as this one] at 2:30am it’s hard to convey. My bad. I was simply trying to point out that Dareus made arguably the two most influential plays of the game.)

Congratulations to both Alabama and Texas. They kept us entertained at the end, and for the indifferent fan, that’s all you can ask for.

If you have thoughts on the game, leave them below.

The shit show starts at 8:00pm. If you would like to suggest rules of the yet to be established drinking game you may do so in the comments below.

Win. 37-14. My brother from another mother has the post game thoughts, I cosign them all. I hope to see you all, and more of you, next year.

And the moral of the story: never lose your inner pirate or coach will help you find it.

Mike Leach Suspended. The Pirate Captain allegedly confined Adam James (son of Pony Craig James) in a dark electrical closet because he wouldn’t practice with a concussion. And BONUS Craig won’t be working the Alamo Bowl. When you’re on the ship and you disobey the captain you get tossed in the brig, obviously Leach improvised.

The Wesley College Amphetamines versus The Naropa University Tailors in the Wizards of the Coast Gooseberry Bowl. Can you say Magic The Gathering Cards for the bowl swag? Yes we had some fun playing around with a bowl game generator that hit our inbox this evening. And for the record we’re taking the Amphetamines, they’ve had their eyes on the prize and haven’t blinked since their last fix. We encourage you to leave your zaniest creation in the comments.

Peach Bowl. Stay tuned, as the closer we approach kickoff the more our levels of Vol hate and coverage will increase. For now Gobbler Country has a Q&A with Rocky Top Talk and Vols in the Fall makes a good argument that the Hokies are ultimately playing to beat the SEC patch.

On Saturday night the biggest coaching change of 2009 happened. Then on Sunday afternoon Urban Meyer Ctrl+Z-ed and it was undone. Today Meyer abducted the Gator’s Sugar Bowl press conference to explain his future at Florida. He wouldn’t be resigning, but rather will be taking an indefinite leave of absence to get healthy and spend more time with his family.

Delany’s Dozen. Big Ten Expansion has been the hot topic during this brief college football sabbatical. We tossed out our (reasonable) suggestions awhile ago. But we hope the Big Ten goes hard at Texas and Nebraska; let chaos reign. Dan Shanoff has an interesting take and thinks Navy as a football only member makes perfect sense. His thesis is built upon the idea that a championship game isn’t a factor for Big Ten expansion. Whether it is or isn’t, we think it is, there will be a Big Ten Championship Game if the conference expands. No money will be left on the table.

U Inspired Dynasties. Conquest Chronicles serves up some spicy food for thought. Was the Trojan’s “modern-day” dynasty on par with Miami’s? If everything else is a push we’ll take Miami solely for the Vice City nightlife. Although, one thing we’ll point out is Miami had 3 consensus and 1 split Media National Championships, while USC had only 1 and 1. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »

I don’t thinks so.
