    It's not on the level of Schembechler, but Barry Alvarez at Wisconsin.

    Brandon has other matters to attend to besides Hoke's job status -- such as his own. Rally and petition calling for the AD's dismissal.

    I'm sure he has half a mind to go Ferguson on their asses.

    The protesters.

    He's a guy who thinks he has a lot more power than he does.

    But anyway, a throwaway line ... should be a fun night on campus.

    Did he purposely use small type so no one could read it.

    Also worth mentioning is that Brandon is a good buddy-pal of the current governor, and is sometimes floated as a possible successor.

    "And you have the nerve to wonder why we organized a union, " - Northwestern.

    By the way, I noticed on the ESPN College Football Final show Holtz and May were making cracks during the PSU-Northwestern highlights that, "I guess they weren't on strike this week! Tee hee!" Company men until the end. May of all people should shut his fucking mouth, since he was a member of a player's union himself in the pros. Holtz has long been a slobbering old fool so I couldn't care less what he says.

    Stephen M. Ross, of course, is Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross.

    This completes the clown show.
