The End of Lame

“A man does good business when he rids himself of a turd.”

King Edward I of England (1239-1307)

In that case, USC AD Pat Haden did great business in the wee hours Sunday morning jettisoning the huge mistake that is Lane Kiffin. Rarely has one done so little when being given so much.

Three Thoughts

* Alabama is back to smacking people around beating Ole Miss 25-0. I picked Bama to face off against Georgia for the SEC Title and thus far that prediction is playing out.

* DeLoss Dodds, Texas’ AD is set to retire August of 2014. Look for Mack Brown to get bumped upstairs as the Longhorns search for a new head coach for 2014. At least that what is says in the Prowler’s Crystal (Foot)Ball.

* I think the NCAA is doing the right thing with Penn State by gradually reducing the scholarship penalties. Some talking heads are saying this is an admission by the NCAA that they overreacted. I say it’s the NCAA using the carrot AND the stick to get schools to get their houses in order. Penn State has enacted over 100 of the recommendations of the Freeh Report. We should reward positive change.

I have some big changes in the BCS lineup this week. I don’t know if it will play out this way, but the games would be fantastic.
