I'm still hyperventilating over the news that the USC Trojans head football coach, Pete Carroll, may have signed a deal to be president and head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. This comes after Jim Mora was fired from the Seahawks, after posting an 5-11 season. Somewhere, my friend David Schreiber- a USC alum- is blowing a gasket (and demanding to St. Peter and the Deity that he come down and smack some sense into Carroll). Yes, he's worked with several NFL teams- including a season of head coaching the New York Jets (He was fired after posting a 6-12 record). He's very tenured at the University of Southern California, with consistently winning seasons.
The story is still developing, so stay tuned.

Michigan, This is Bad. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD!
Last Saturday, Appalachian State did something no other school from Division I-AA has managed to do- defeat a ranked Division I-A school, and a highly ranked one at that, when they went into Michigan Stadium, and knocked down the mighty Michigan Wolverines, 34-32. A true David and Goliath battle, indeed.
Apparently, David- out of Boone, North Carolina- has caused Goliath, of Ann Arbor, Michigan to be bumped out of every college football's top 25 poll.
If you're curious- and I know that you are- the CBS Sports.com 120 poll has the Big Blue dropped to 31st.
Come on, sportswriters; coaches; and just about everyone else, WHERE IS THE LOVE? Sure, the Wolverines got their asses spanked and handed on a platter by a tiny school deep in the Appalachians, but there's still plenty of college football left. Plus if there's any consolation to the Wolverines, the granddaddy of all college football battle royales- beside the Oregon-Oregon State Civil War- takes place on your home turf this year, as the Ohio State Buckeyes invade Michigan Stadium November 17. Of course, as of late, the Bucks have won all but one against Big Blue, under head coach Jim Tressel.
Now, if the Oregon Fighting Ducks can capitalize on Michigan's misfortune this Saturday- at Michigan Stadium, no doubt- then Michigan will get another dubious distinction: Losing two straight games. Something that happened only last season.
