The rocky seas of college football needed some good news, and on Wednesday we got it. Mike Leach is back, and he’s taking his talents to Wazzu.
Oh, the Pac-12 is shaping up quite nicely, and despite the fact that UCLA is nearly a 5-touchdown underdog in their title game this weekend, Larry Scott has reason to smile once again.
Welcome back, Captain.
When you ask Les Miles a question about Twitter, you’re guaranteed an interesting response. He certainly did not disappoint at his Tuesday presser.
Les was asked a question about defensive tackle Michael Brockers’ tweet, which updated his injury status for this week’s SEC Championship Game. The Mad Hatter responded with a straightforward answer that cleared matters up right away with no follow-up questions needed. Just like he always does.
Well, no, not exactly.
Somehow, however, it makes perfect sense and I’m still wondering if Les was mocking the question or if he’s explaining what exactly happened. Either way, this in one of the most amazing/confusing/Les Mile-esque quotes of all-time, and that’s saying A LOT.
The inaugural Big Ten Championship Game is nearly upon us, and fans are lining up to purchase tickets for this must-see event. Well, not exactly.
While Wisconsin and Michigan State fans will flock to Indy for this game because their teams each have a shot at the Rose Bowl, there’s not much of a buzz surrounding it from a national standpoint.
This has prompted criticism, a fair amount of solid Twitter jokes, and one of the most amazing Craigslist adds ever created. We’re not sure what exactly this is, if it’s truly real (more on that in sec) but it’s, well, awesome.
And for those unwilling to click on the link, here it is.

Saturday night event in downtown Indianapolis needs seat-fillers. Total number of seat-fillers needed will vary based on crowd.
Must tolerate loud noise and crowds. Must have red or dark green casual clothing to wear. Event will last all evening on Saturday night. All ages, sexes, races, etc.
Please use contact e-mail. Event planner will follow-up with exact details on location for staging of seat-fillers (additional information and instruction provided there).
A joke, you say?
Well, here’s the response one “interested” client passed along that she received after following up.
Thanks for expressing interest in helping us fill empty seats on Saturday night. We have gotten your e-mail address, and will be sending out details Saturday morning to match the expected number of needed seat-fillers. Our client has asked for discretion about this opportunity, as “seat-filling” is behind-the-scenes aspect of this event production.
On the day of the event event, we will designate a parking garage and validate your parking. Seat fillers will be assigned seats inside or near the event close to the event start time. We expect fillers will need to be checked in around 6:30pm on Saturday. The event itself begins shortly after 8pm, and we expect it to conclude close to midnight. You will receive payment at the end of the evening upon turning in the paperwork given to you at the beginning of the evening.
No experience is necessary, and there are no age, sex, or race requirements. We are asking that all participants wear red or dark green t-shirts and/or hats.
This is an exciting opportunity to be paid to see a live sporting event! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
And. I’m SOLD.
