Former Texas defensive coordinator that is.
ESPN, the same network that reported Auburn hired current Texas DC Will Muschamp two days ago, now says Auburn has hired Iowa State coach Gene Chizik as its next head coach.
What could go wrong?
The Cyclones went winless in Big 12 play this season, and their win total has […]

 With all the talk of “style points” and strength of schedule being bandied about this week, and with the bowl season about to be unleashed, there no doubt will be more talk about the relative strengths of the BCS conferences. Before the bowl matchups between leagues get started, here are some basics
                                                  Overall                            BCS Opponents
Conference                                 W-L                                           […]

We get it. You want to take a shower with Tim Tebow and personally supervise all scrotum cleaning efforts.
Dude throws a simple touchdown pass and all of a sudden he’s an amalgamation of Neils Bohr, Dan Fouts, Robin Hood, John Elway, Vince Lombardi, Techno-Viking, Gandhi, MegatronOptimus Prime, and George S. Patton.
I’ll still […]

Leach keeps trying to live the title of that old Mack Davis song, he just can’t find anyone who is willing to bail him out.
Tennessee? Nope, they went with a 33-year old whose only head coaching experience was a disaster in Oakland.
Clemson? Nope, they went with an assistant on the staff of the guy they […]

So after Tommy Tuberville “resigned” at Auburn, a woman calling herself “Amy” and identifying herself as an Auburn assistant coach’s wife, called into a local radio show. Turns it is was Donna Dunn, the wife of Auburn Defensive Line Coach Don Dunn (only in the South). She wasn’t pleased over the fact that her husband […]

That’s what ESPN is reporting. Lane Kiffin, who was 5-15 in a year and a half as the head man at the train wreck known as the Oakland Raiders, is slated to take Phil Fulmer’s place at Tennessee. Kiffin, who is just a year older than Peyton Manning, supposedly will be announced as the Vols […]

Fox is getting out of college football altogether, deciding that the BCS was not worth $500 million, so the BCS games will be moving to cable.
Starting in 2011, the BCS series will become a part of the Four-Letter Network. In its announcement that it was dropping out, Fox sounded just like the jilted lover stating […]

North Carolina football coach Butch Davis was at the top of most Tennessee fans wish list to replace Phil Fulmer. But Davis apparently is telling Tennessee thanks, but no thanks.
The Volunteers are 3-7 this year with two games left, at Vandy and Kentucky at home. Tennessee has never lost 8 games in a season. They […]

Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has come up with a scenario that he believes will cause the most hatred towards the BCS system.
But what if No. 4 Florida beats No. 1 Alabama in the SEC championship game and No. 3 Texas beats No. 14 Missouri for the Big 12 championship? Penn State moves to […]

I know Big 12 officials are bad, but something like this would cause EyesOfTX’s head to explode like that dude in ‘Scanners.’

Now that Tommy Bowden has been fired mutually agreed to step down at Clemson, we can look at potential candidates. Muschamp’s name will surface for every job, but I don’t think this is the one. While traveling the internet, I found these guys as potentials (in my order of likelihood):
Lane Kiffin - the […]

I’m generally immune to internet memes, not sure why, but it makes sense given the hardy ethnic stock in question. Rooting around in bogs for millenia combined with even infrequent ancestral consumption of haggis necessarily renders a hardy constitution, which naturally spills over into other facets of one’s life, like the intergoogle. I have watched […]

MGoBlog’s Brian Cook has masterminded a scheme so clever that its best expression could only occur in the Oxbridge accent of a Bond villain. However, instead of threatening you with piranha nipple clamps and a plot to take over world financial markets (too late), MGoBlog brings together whoever is available the elites of the […]

I have done a complete 180 on this issue. When oil man Tex Pitfield suggested that Georgia governor Sonny Perdue call off the UGA - Alabama game to save gas, I like many others scoffed at the thought. After all, this was a huge game in the SEC, a boom to the local […]

The president and CEO of Saraguay Petroleum, whose name is actually Tex believe it or not, has a suggestion for Georgia governor Sonny Perdue. Ole Tex wants to cancel the UGA-Bama game to save gas.
The governor, who is a UGA man, is ignoring the suggestion.
In other news, evil Richt made an appearance at yesterday’s […]

Just a few things I found interesting in my daily perusal of these here interwebs.
For openers, the heat just keeps turning up in Knoxville.
Secondly, we are reminded of the classiness of South Carolina fans.
In actual football related news, Matthew Stafford has thrown 108 passes without a pick.
Chris Low, who lived in Nashville long enough to […]

The fat man fell to Florida once again on Saturday and the Volunteer faithful are not happy. After last year’s blowout in Gainesville, the Vols had a lot to prove on Saturday in Knoxville. What they proved is that the Tennessee Volunteers are a program in decline.
Everyone pile on…..now!
We begin with […]

I’m heading out of town in a little while, but I wanted to share this little nugget before I go.
Apparently the admins on the Plains are worried about their sensitive little boys getting booed this weekend. I can’t imagine why anyone would boo them though. Who doesn’t like a good baseball game on […]

Get used to it, SEC fans. OK, I actually think the Big 12 deserves a meaningful discussion with the SEC, but since every SEC blogger and bulletin board posse have set Google Alerts for all discussions regarding best conference, I figured I’d poke them in the eye so their dander would be up by […]

Ok, its been more than 24 hours and I have had time to collect my thoughts and come to grips with the fact that my Georgia Bulldogs nearly blew it against the Gamecocks. The same Gamecock team that has lost consecutive games to Vanderbilt nearly toppled the nation’s number 2 ranked team. Of […]
