If you need further reason to root for Washington State against Oklahoma State later this month, read this article from the Seattle Times on their new coach, Paul Wulff.

Alum Update - Joey Mickey

Jenni Carlson probably made Coach Hair Gel upset again today by writing a human interest story on former Sooner and Dallas Cowboy TE Joey Mickey. Check it out, it's interesting how Mickey has made a difference by counseling those with criminal backgrounds.

I got tired of waiting for Yahoo! to come up with a bowl picking game. I got one setup at espn.com.

Hats off to...

Husker Fans - mix in generosity, serving our country, and Husker fans and you've got the makings of a great story.

Lloyd Carr - didn't know much about Lloyd Carr, and have taken a little bit of perverse joy in watching them slide a bit this year. Carr phoned Coach Jerry Moore of Appalachian State the day after the Mountaineers' historic upset to offer congratulations to Coach Moore. Seems that the Big 10 network didn't facilitate an on field meeting after the chaos of the ending play, and Coach Carr took the time the next day to phone Coach Moore.

It's enough to make me root for the Wolverines on Saturday against the FishEaters.

After a summer of various transgressions across the country from collegiate athletes, this is a nice change o' pace.

Sooners work on Habitat for Humanity

I poke enough fun at my alma mater, but this is a neat story about good things happening around the football program.
