Turning the Corner

Its post July 4th so its officially time to start talking about some football. We we’re bored with the whole Brett Favre will-he-or-won’t-he saga within the first 24 hr. news cycle so we cherry-picked some articles on college football we found much more interesting.

West Virginia: Still not over Rich Rodriquez. Seems to happen every year where a head football coach leaves a program in a less-than-ceremonial manner. These days, in fact, college coaches are even taking this act to the pro ranks where the last two years have seen both Nick Saban (Miami Dolphins) and Bobby Petrino (Atlanta Falcons) depart, leaving emotional wreckage and hurt feelings in their wake. And though Rodriguez and his new employer, Michigan, came together to pay-off Rodriguez’s buy-out clause ($4 mil), there are obviously still some very, very bitter feelings among the Mountaineer faithful.

...and now that Tom Hansen is stepping down as PAC-10 commish how about some BCS-style super-conference expansion? How about BYU and UTAH in PAC-10? How about no can-do?

Lastly, Barack Obama proves he's not really serious about the college football fan vote.
