    I suppose he couldn't make Tennessee any worse.

    Could he?

    In other news, looks like Malzahn's getting the Tulsa band back together at Arkansas State. Pitt's Keith Patterson will be his DC.

    Were the Mountaineer fans just chanting ACC? Epic.

    "Deserve" has nothing to do with it. It's all about TV markets and conference power brokers. The BCS doesn't exist without the ACC and Big East. The sponsors and networks probably thought including major conferences that went up and down the east coast would be necessary to attract enough TV viewers to make it work.

    The ACC is so pitiful. I'm glad I didn't watch this from start to finish. Or more than two minutes in total.

    I will pay $1 American to any copy editor that uses BEATEN TO A PULP as their Orange Bowl headline.

    This result makes the Virginia Tech bid look even more ridiculous and scandalous.

    And what a shitbrick game THAT was. Four overtimes and, since PSU won, their fans were crowing about how it was "one for the ages!!!!!!" What the fail to tell you is Florida State was 8-5 going into that game while PSU was 11-1 with their lone loss a last minute jobber at Michigan.

    The smiling orange was shown tonight. He got wiped out by a West Virginia player, I think after the long fumble return TD.
