SportsFilter: The Friday 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.
"Clusterfuck" seems about right.

Tonight, Lord, please let Oklahoma smoke Alabama so we can watch true mayhem unfold among the college coaching ranks in the aftermath.
As if there hasn't been enough craziness already.
The goal is for Kiffin to jump ship and go to Bama without ever coaching a game for LSU. The range war that would ensue would be without precedent.
Kiffin and his family would have to seek political asylum in the Saudi Arabian Embassy.
Pundits don't call this year in college coaching a "carousel" or a "cycle" anymore. They haven't come up with a good word for it yet. If Stanley Kubrick was alive, he'd think of something.
Somewhere out there, someone in need of a coach is trying to put a call in to Lou Holtz.
