SportsFilter: The Saturday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Note to the following teams - Florida in the SEC title game, Oregon in the Rose Bowl, Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl:

Going with the white helmets was not a good idea.

Nice to see Chris Petersen lock in a 5 year deal with Boise State yesterday. Even nicer that they didn't publicize the terms all over the place. Discretion is always advised with large sums of money, no matter what shape the economy is in. Hopefully, he will buck recent trends and not quit or get fired soon after signing an extension.

I would gladly take the reins of the Florida State football team, go 7-6 for two or three years, and then resign under duress in a whirlwind of emotions and conflicting opinions -- IF... someone promised me that after my last game ended, Tracy Wolfson would grab my arm, lean close to me and holler in my ear: "How does it feel now that it's over?"

Maybe Tommy Devito told the restaurant to "put it on my tab."

I hope he stays around for recruiting time. Could be an interesting freshman class.

Showing true Southern hospitality, Ole Miss made every effort to give away the Cotton Bowl, but Oklahoma State didn't take them up on it. I didn't even know it was possible to have six turnovers in a quarter, but the Cowboys managed.
