Dwight Schrute Explains Loyalty in Rich Rodriguez Terms
As SEC Football Blogger explains:
West Virginia Hates Rich Rodriguez. Yes, the whole state. You can not blame them. Their hearts were broken.
All the reasons for his departure are unknown, but it looks like money was the #1 reason. This next video depicts the situation perfectly.

Misleading Headline: Rob Deer, Buckeye Fan
Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

Keep Chopping Wood
(Photo: NYTimes)In what Carton and Boomer on WFAN this morning described as "loyalty in an era with no loyalty," the duo broke news that Greg Schiano turned down an offer from Michigan to become their next head coach.
As a New Jersey native, Rutgers football had been generously described as "laughable" prior to Schiano's efforts to legitimize the "Birthplace of College Football." Hell, yours truly was even invited back in the day to attend one of their RU 100 prospect days. That should say something about their one-time inability to recruit top-tiered prospects.
Schiano's commitment to the school, his players, recruits and the state is admirable. Last year a fire-storm ensued following his contract extension that made him the state's highest paid public employee (Rutgers, for those who don't know, is the State U of NJ) after his refusal to take the Miami Hurricanes job. This has since been quelled by the success of the program, subsequent risen national exposure for the university and his inevitable success in recruiting, particularly in-state tallent that historically fled the Garden State for greener pastures of big-time programs.
Has Rutgers yet reached the promised land of being a college football power house? Of course not. But with Schiano's commitment in being what (paraphrasing) Carton and Boomer described as the antithesis of Nick Saban, it likely won't be long before we see New Jersey represented in a BCS Bowl Game.
In a state dominated by pro sports in which teams are either domiciled in a different state or too embarrassed to call themselves NJ (that's you GMen and Jets), Rutgers has given NJ and the NY-metro reason a reason to cheer on Saturdays.
Coach, in the words of the great Iron Mike Tyson, "I take my hand off to you," and thank you for your loyalty and commitment.

Bowl Selections Bring Pain to Michigan
The bowl selections have smushed the face in of the already dejected Michigan fans.
Somehow, the lackluster Buckeyes will make a return appearance to the championship game against the cocksure Les Miles that parlayed his alma mater for some extra cash to stay in the bayou.
Like being locked in for the gimp in Pulp Fiction, the unranked Wolverines will face last year's national champions in a worthless bowl game where Urban Meyers' offense is the prototype of the offense that Michigan cannot handle.
Close your eyes this bowl season Michigan fans. Its going to hurt.

Rev Picks 'Em: Rivalry Time
My, what a season it has been. Oregon bit the dust last night at Arizona, clearing the way for a new no. 2 next week. That, of course, followed Ohio State’s loss last weekend to Illinois. At this point, the national championship is completely up for grabs. LSU, Kansas, Oklahoma, even West Virginia and Missouri all have a chance to play for the title later this year.
So to put it lightly, this week’s slate of games is going to go a long way towards determining who will remain in the championship hunt and who will have to just settle for going to a bowl.
HHR went 7-3 last week, so we’re on a bit of a winning streak. Here are this week’s picks:
10 points: Iowa State (3-8) at KANSAS (10-0): With Oregon losing last night at Arizona, the Jayhawks will be the no. 2 team when rankings are released on Sunday. That is assuming they will win against a punchless Iowa State team, which they should not have a problem doing. For all the talk about the Jayhawks possibly being left out of the BCS title game, they control their own destiny now. Beat Iowa State, Mizzou, and Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship and they’re in.
9 points: OKLAHOMA (9-1) at Texas Tech (7-4): Like Kansas, Oklahoma seems to control their own destiny too: win out, play for national championship. Simple as that. On the other sideline, things don’t get any easier for the Red Raiders and their cry-baby coach, Mike Leach. Leach was fined a Big XII record $10,000 smackers for complaining about the officiating in last week’s 59-43 loss to Texas. Said Leach:
"I think it's disturbing that Austin residents (referee Randy Christal) are involved in this. People work too hard, too long, there's too much money invested in these games to allow that. Am I condemning the crew? Hell yeah, I'm condemning the crew."
Looks like Leach might be taking media pointers from Red Raiders basketball coach Bobby Knight. While it doesn’t quite surpass Oklahoma State Coach Mike Gundy’s ludicrous “I’m a Man!! I’m 40!!” rant from earlier this year , it’s still pretty good.
8 points: LOUISVILLE (5-5) at South Florida (7-3): Louisville played well in a 38-31 loss at West Virginia last week, despite taking only 22 active defensive players and abandoning the concept of running the ball effectively. But no matter how you cut it, this has been a disappointing season for the Cardinals. It was announced yesterday that starting DE DeAntwan “Peanut” Whitehead’s football career was over after being diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a potentially paralyzing condition where the spinal canal narrows in the neck. He’s the second Card to be diagnosed with the condition and the 4th Card overall to suffer a career-ending injury this year. From a fan’s perspective, I’m hoping against hope that QB Brian Brohm can go out on a high note, so that’s why this game is here.
CLUELESS.
7 points: WEST VIRGINIA (8-1) at Cincinnati (8-2): Mountaineers RB Steve Slaton seems to have regressed over last year’s breakout performance. However, while Slaton may have slipped just a bit, QB Pat White is proving that he is still one of the most electrifying players in college football today (see last week’s game breaking 50 yard TD scamper against Louisville with 1:36 left to play). This game will be tough as Cincy has a hard-hitting defense that will severely test WV’s potent offense. In the end though, the Mountaineers just have too many weapons, and I look for them to squeak by the Bearcats by no more than 6 or 7 points.
6 points: PENN STATE (8-3) at Michigan State (6-5): Michigan State needs this game bad to lock up a bowl berth, but … winning is just not something they do in East Lansing this time of year.
5 points: Kentucky (7-3) at GEORGIA (8-2): UK inexplicably laid an egg against Mississippi State their last time out, all but ending the Cats chances of winning a wide-open SEC East. Now Georgia is in the driver’s seat, and they have revenge on their mind for last year’s loss in Lexington. UGA has hung 40+ points on three straight opponents, including SEC stalwarts Florida and Auburn. The Wildcats better come ready to play or they could be in for a long, long afternoon between the hedges in Athens.
4 points: Boston College (8-2) at CLEMSON (8-2): It hurts my brain to pick Clemson in a game of this magnitude (winner wins the ACC Coastal Division), but I can’t find a reason not to take them at home.
3 points: OREGON STATE (6-4) at Washington State (4-6): I won’t be watching this game. I doubt you will either.
2 points: Maryland (5-5) at FLORIDA STATE (6-4): Five, six, maybe seven years ago, Florida State wins this game by 90 points. Maybe that’s a little high, but you get my point. Now, who knows. Granpda Bowden is definitely asleep at the wheel.
… and now, for the one point game of the week:
1 point: OHIO STATE (10-1) at Michigan (8-3): With apologies to Dunbar, I’m going with the Bucks tomorrow. I don’t really think he could convince me otherwise, considering how Lloyd Carr’s final year in Ann Arbor has gone.
The Buckeyes blew their chance at getting back to the national championship game, so they’ll have to settle for doing what they do best: beating Michigan. Michigan, on the other hand, needs this game unlike any other. QB Chad Henne skipped the NFL draft with the express purpose of coming back to beat OSU at least one time during his career for the Maize and Blue. By the way, if this game wasn’t already hyped enough, this game will also decide the Big Ten championship and the league’s designee for the Rose Bowl.
I’m not a Big Ten fan, but even I’ll admit: this is bar none the best college football rivalry anywhere in America.
For the record, Michigan leads the all-time series 57-40-6.

Diary of a Mad Michigan Fan
Well, at least the pundits can't say the Appalachian State game was the greatest upset of all-time if Michigan posts a losing record.
I can't add much to the unbelievable cluster f that is Michigan football. Michigan fans knew that the defense was going to be bad, but we thought that the much-touted Defensive Coordinator Ron English would be able to field a serviceable D to stop the opposing offense a few times. Those hopes were dashed along with English's aspirations to be the next head coach.
I didn't watch the Appalachian State game, only the ticker on the bottom of the screen and then the Gamecast at the end (horrible idea). Knowing Michigan football, I was concerned about Appalachian State and knew that they would not be a pushover. However, I assumed Michigan would win and didn't put any effort into watching it, just as the players assumed and did put any effort into it.
Now we have the Oregon debacle at home. 39-7.
Michigan fans will deal with this season in their own way. Personally, I will have to rely on the Reverend for my college football season as I do not anticipate watching many games. But the thing that has my face hotter than a ginger in the sun is reports of Michigan State fans.
In my out-of-state town, it is a tradition, and oftentimes the only way, to watch your team at a bar. I have heard from numerous sources of Michigan State fans taunting Michigan fans outside the alumni bar and staying at bars simply to rag on Michigan fans while they are watching the game. Are you kidding me!? Michigan State fans?! What in the world have you ever done?
The thing with Michigan State fans is that they think they are as good as Michigan. They win the Paul Bunyan Trophy once every six years by acts of God or the clock keeper. But when they do miraculously win, its like a damn leprechaun parade at church the next day. Michigan expects to win, Michigan State offers their firstborn to win against a crummy Michigan team. When Michigan wins, we take it in stride. State wins and they all have that stupid smug smile on their face that you want to kick in.
I'm not raving about Ohio State even though I hate them more than MSU and have reportedly conducted similar behavior such as buying App. State gear, but they are a worthy opponent. Michigan State fans need to remember when they are celebrating other teams' losses that they cheer for the Spartans.
