Monday Miscellany

A few thoughts....

Will Nebraska be shopping come Saturday?

How confident are you that Tom will do the right thing come Saturday and end the Callahan era? (Poll at right.)

After the Kansas game there was no doubt. After the Kansas State game, and continuing through the off-week of course, there seems to be a sliver of doubt. In fact I've seen some commenters in various places supporting another year for Bill and The System based on (I guess) the fireworks against the Wildcats.

In all honesty, this amazes me. I don't know what else a person has to see to know that Bill is not capable of leading the program at Nebraska. (Or anywhere else, I would argue.) He's an offensive coordinator and a pretty good one.

Come next year I think that's what he'll be. I think but I've forced myself to at least consider the possibility of another year under Callahan.

It makes me want to weep.

Oh-no Coach O

Everyone seems to think that Coach Orgeron's job at Ole Miss is safe, but things just got even more difficult in Dixie. Twenty Rebels were placed on probation Sunday for stealing radios and pillows from a hotel.

Weird. I've never stayed in a hotel with a radio that I actually wanted to keep and while my pillows certainly aren't the best, they always tend to trump what you can find on the road.

Miles for Michigan?

Be sure to tune in to ESPN today at 10 a.m. Lloyd Carr will announce then what I guess he's already announced. He's hanging up his whistle.

Going to be an interesting few weeks for Les Miles as he tries to keep LSU at the top of the BCS heap while refuting rumors and inquiries about his future with the Wolverines.

Truth be told, if Michigan wants Miles that's fine by me. I'm still unconvinced he's capable of running a big time program, but he would make the Big 10 marginally more exciting. (And really, marginally exciting is about as good as it gets for me in that conference.)
