Quick Thoughts...

...on stuff not nearly as important as the last post but since I know most people who read blogs are just looking for a way to pass time at work, I'll give you some fluff. There's this and this about Tubs and his future at Auburn. My take? He's jockeying for a raise and/or extension at Auburn. There's no way he wouldn't at least somewhat play the little deny game if he was really going somewhere. And don't tell me it's because he's above it. But fear not! I think Ole Miss is finally over it all (though probably not over the Alabama game. FYI, Colonel Reb, he stepped--and was not forced-- out of bounds.) Lastly, geez Arkansas boosters... who's laughing now?

So I'm cracking up about all these articles suggesting Alabama is looking to exact revenge on Mississippi State. For what? Practically signing, sealing, and delivering the dismissal letter to Mike Shula? The way I see it, we should pay Crooms' salary for at least a year as a thank you! Think about this: Alabama waits until 2007 to can Shula and find a replacement. Michigan cans Lloyd Carr (I think increasingly unlikely but still a possibility) and hires Less Miles. Saban decides now is a good time to return to college and goes back to LSU. Texas A&M also throws down the gauntlet and offers to pay top dollar for a coach, making for one heckuva bidding war. So let's see, now we can re-hire the canned Fran, we can make a play for Tubbs, or we can hire Houston Nutt (Nutt being the operative word!) Maybe we could hire the Boise State coach (not a bad hire) or Jim Harbough from Stanford but now a year into "The Process" would anybody other than Phillip Fulmer go back and change the outcome of last year's UA-MSU game?

PS-- Happy for the Britt family!
