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.
Don't have any interesting thing to discuss at the moment specially regarding the NFL.

Congrats to Greg Knox for delivering Miss. State a bowl win over Louisville as the interim coach after Dan Mullen's departure.
Wishing Coach Knox well in the future, as he hasn't been assured that he'll have a job under incoming Coach Moorhead, and he hasn't been asked to join Mullen's staff in Florida as expected. Hopefully, he will lock down a good job somewhere worthwhile.
Also, MSU's Keytaon Thompson is a talented freshman QB and an impact player. The portions of the game I saw, he looked better to me than Lamar Jackson. Almost as athletic, but more physically imposing. Guys were bouncing off of Thompson and getting hurt.
Lord knows I hate those shiny metallic helmets. Louisville and Washington were sporting them today. Louisville teams have a special knack for doing the ugly, featuring a wince-inducing menu of Victorian whorehouse color schemes. The MSU helmets had a battle-burnished matte surface with barely a hint of sheen. They looked worn smooth like vintage Bakelite. That's a helmet.
