    Players in both college and pro were allowed to go without facemasks if they chose until the mid-1960s.

    Garo Yepremian went facemaskless while kicking for the Lions in 1968-69. He went to a single-bar with the Dolphins.

    Until they prove me wrong (which will prolly happened Saturday) I think the Gators getting 9 points against anyone is a pretty solid bet.

    Um, shouldn't Johnny Majors be the one stealing the trophy?

    They've been unGodly as dogs . . . but then, since they're literally unGodly now, hard to say . . .

    Save room at the bottom of that river for both of Archie Griffin's ... or at least his second.

    Majors, Brown or Tommy McDonald of national champ Oklahoma. Or any one of about 500 more deserving players.

    Did Hornung personally escort St. Mary's College coeds in plaid skirts around the nation for the recreational use of Heisman voters? That's about the only explanation for the 1956 vote.

    For a player on a 2-8 team to get even a sniff for the Heisman, he better throw for about 5000 yards, rush for about 3000, score 50 TDs and kick a dozen 75-yard field goals.

    I won't argue that. Maybe the Va. Tech and FSU losses have been ringing in my ears.

    I've defended Georgia on this point pretty vehemently in the past. This is indefensible. I'll reserve complete judgement until we see who Georgia replaces the Ducks with, but it is very hard being a Georgia fan right now. Arrests, lousy play and now this. If the reason behind this is to get the seventh home game, then the relationship with Jacksonville needs to end and they need to go home and home with Florida.

    Chip Kelley gets a six year, $20.5 mil extenstion at Oregon. I guess he's not going anywhere.
    Might be an interesting off-season. I can't think of an obvious on-the-move coach outside of Harbaugh at Stanford, who will probably have his pick of jobs. Peteresen isn't leaving Boise. Whittingham will be in the Pac 10 next year anyway, Patterson seems content at TCU and any of the possibles Arizona State, Tex A&M would be a downgrade.
    And yet big jobs (Georgia, ASU, Illinois, Pittsburgh) could be open.

    When KU tried to woo Harbaugh during the offseason -- he was No. 1 on its list -- he turned that into an extension that runs through 2014. Obviously, coaches can pick up and leave whenever they want, but he does seem happy at Stanford.

    Or he'd leave for a job that is a clear upgrade.

    Kansas would have been a definite penthouse-to-outhouse move for Harbaugh.

    Interesting column by some guy at FoxSports dot com. This sentence stuck out...

    "That the Trojans, who have looked like a work in progress against an almost SEC-like schedule (Hawaii, Virginia, Minnesota and Washington State), are under the radar does not seem to bother Kiffin, whose team is banned from bowl games because of the NCAA violations tied to former star Reggie Bush."
