Bitter-bits

1. Lane Kiffin, in his contintual quest to commit flagrant violations and still smell sweet as a Rose Bowl, contests the coach-poaching lawsuit is matter of geography, not integrity. Because a USC alum coaching a Houston NFL franchise in middle Tennessee is concerned about your actions concerning a college team on the east side. It doesn't matter, though, because (according to Kiffin, Fisher has all ready forgiven him, even if the Titans coach can't admit it publicly. Nice try. (Also, I love you continue to be weasely like this, even if no one else does.)

2. There will never be any love lost between Idaho and Boise State. Late last year, the Idaho athletic director refused to board a plane due to its orange and blue decor. Now Boise State president has gone on record as saying Vandal football culture is "nasty and inebriated." In his defense, he was pushed over the edge by an Idaho student newspaper article entitled "Reasons to Hate Boise State." Though this would make the future of the in-state rivalry mildly exciting to outsiders, Boise State has decided they're too high and mighty to travel to Moscow every other year. It's always sad to see the loss of such feisty foes. Of course, even if they continue annual contests after the Broncos move to the Mountain West, it'll still be a loss for Idaho (oh burn).

3. This is further proof Yankees don't know nothing about college football. To those of us somehow surviving the insufferable Southern heatwave, it seems ridiculous anyone could be jealous of our weather. But playing a Big Ten championship in December could prove problematic in non-domed stadiums. We all know "The weather is part of the game" is code for "Oh God, when will I be old enough to retire in Florida?", but I must respond to his aggressive posturing, "This isn't SEC football." You're right, sir, you're right. In the SEC, we know football weather is cool, crisp, and perfect for all day tailgating. More to the point, SEC football is entertaining.
