Going to be a stressful day for me.
The wife is from Ohio
My undergrad (Ole Miss) plays for the SECW at 3:30
My law school (Mizzou) plays for the Big12N at 7:00
Looking at probalby 0-3 for those games, quite depressing. (Personally don't care about the OSU game, but the wife won't be happy at all....)

Brain 2, Gut 0.
Gotta like Michigan's chances against any potential bowl opponent, with the exception of the very real (albeit very small chance) of a matchup with Oklahoma.

I know it's not likely. If USC and LSU both lose, chances are it'll be the SEC champ who will finish #2.
I just hate the BCS, and I like to see it get all ****ed up.

OMAHA, Neb. -- Nebraska football coach Frank Solich was fired Saturday night after winning more than 75 percent of his games over six seasons but failing to keep the Cornhuskers as the national powerhouse they were under Tom Osborne.
The firing by athletic director Steve Pederson was first reported by the Omaha World-Herald and the Lincoln Journal Star.
"All I know is we did the best we could. We mustered up nine wins. To a man, we can hold our heads high," offensive coordinator Barney Cotton told the Associated Press.
Cotton said he had a bad feeling about the situation on the flight home from Colorado on Friday night after Nebraska's 31-22 victory.
"I was happy with the win and proud of how the kids played, but I didn't know if that win was enough to resolve the situation," he said. "Steve's decision must have already been made."
Solich's son-in-law, Jon Dalton, said Solich is disappointed.
"I don't know the reason behind it," Dalton said. "Get Steve to tell you.
This is a sad day for the state of Nebraska."
Split end Ross Pilkington, was stunned.
"I'm so filled with emotion," Pilkington said. "It almost feels like losing my father. After winning nine games, this doesn't happen."
Solich and Pederson could not be reached for comment. Nebraska spokesperson Chris Anderson would not comment Saturday night on the firing.
Pederson has scheduled a news conference for Sunday at 12 noon ET.
Solich had just finished a 9-3 regular season with Friday's 31-22 victory at Colorado. He was 58-19 in six seasons.
Pinnacle Sports Network, the rights holder for Nebraska radio broadcasts, reported that first-year defensive coordinator Bo Pelini would be the interim head coach.
The current group of assistants will coach the in Nebraska's upcoming bowl game. It was unknown whether any of the assistants will be retained after the bowl.
"Frank just said it was over, and that Steve (Pederson) would be contacting us," Cotton told the Lincoln Journal Star.
It will cost the university at least $1.8 million to buy out Solich's contract, which was to run through June 2006. He was paid an annual base salary of $321,260, with another $518,000 in guaranteed supplemental compensation.
Solich took over after Osborne retired after the 1997 season. The Cornhuskers won at least a share of the national title in three of Osborne's final four seasons.
Solich was 42-9 in his first four seasons. He was Big 12 coach of the year in 1999 and 2001, won the '99 conference title and his team played for the national championship after the '01 season.
But Solich's success was downplayed because critics said he won with players recruited by Osborne.
The Cornhuskers went 7-7 in 2002 -- the team's worst season since 1961 -- and struggled against quality opponents this season.
Their three losses all were by more than 17 points, capped by a 38-9 loss to Kansas State -- Nebraska's worst at home since 1958 -- in the final home game of the season.
Solich's record for his six seasons was 58-19.
The last Nebraska head football coach to be fired was Bill Jennings, who was removed and replaced by Bob Devaney in 1962.
Solich played fullback for Nebraska from 1963-65. He was assistant to Osborne for 19 years beginning in 1979. |

I can't believe Pederson actually went through with it. I know he doesn't like Solich, but I figured he would give him at least one more year to turn things around.
I wonder who the new head coach will be...
