Coaching Changes, BCS Title Game, and Malcolm Jamal Warner

1.  Big Hire for Baylor.  Phil Bennett is a top of the line defensive coordinator.  They will see results in a hurry.

2.  Ray Sherman is out as Cowboys WR coach.  This could hurt the Cowboys in the short term, but Jason Garrett has run into issues with Terrell Owens, Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton all had run-ins with the Cowboys new HC. It's also good news that Jason Garrett can build his own staff.

3.  I am torn on who to cheer for tonight.  Leaning towards Oregon.  I don't like cheering for teams with unresolved NCAA issues (Cam Newton).  So I think I will quack instead of yell "War Eagle."  But ultimately, I don't care FSU isn't in the game.  So I can just watch as an outsider.

4.  And speaking of NCAA issues, I am going to fight all my future traffic tickets with their standard new argument against suspension.   "I didn't know."  Cam Newton's defense that he didn't know his father was trying to broker a deal for his son at Mississippi St. has kept him eligible.  Ohio St.'s Terrelle Pryor and the Free Tattoo Crew used it to play  in the Sugar Bowl.  The NCAA should be ashamed of themselves.  They have opened a door that will be difficult to close.

5.  Marshawn Lynch finally rolled into Beast Mode.  It only took 5 years.  The Seahawks were dominant on offense.  Roman Harper was run ragged by the Matt Hasselback.

6.  Our producer, Zach Burke, doesn't know who Malcolm Jamal Warner is.  It's sad to me that an entire generation of our youth are unfamiliar with the former Theo Huxtable.

7.   Is anyone else tried of Jersey Shore and the attention they are getting?  MTV's mission statement has to be that they want to make America dumber 30 minutes at a time.  What else could be the reason for such crap shows?

8.  I have been going to TUF Boot Camp for 2 weeks now.  Great workout.  Now if I could only get my legs to work at the same time.  Sore is not even the word.

9.  Excited to see old friends Shaun "Fudge" Gaines and Mike Manasco at the AFCA convention in Dallas tomorrow.  I would share some stories of our FSU days on this blog, but it could prevent all three of us from gaining employment in the future.  Especially Manasco.

10.  For a state that claims to be bigger and tougher than everyone, Texas sure gets frightened by winter weather.  I watched a local news outlet do 5 minutes of stories on how to prepare your house for it to be 35 degrees and rainy.  Look I am a weather wuss.  I like warm weather.  But I don't think we need to call FEMA if it isn't going to freeze.  Please stop the madness.
