That said...hearing Kevin Sumlin say, "That's what Bama is going to do tonight" just doesn't ring true. When has his defense stopped Alabama? Or, much less knew what they were going to do?

Jimbo with Malzahn on Finebaum ...commenting on them coaching for the love of the game.

"I only made $67,000 while I was at Auburn." A little out of touch with reality, isn't he? How many people do you think scoffed at that statement?

Big Ten administrators dismiss staff for poor officiating

Four officials who worked the Sept. 21 Purdue-Wake Forest football game were dismissed by the Big Ten Conference on Wednesday after being determined to have done a poor job during the game.

"During the course of the game, these officials did not officiate well enough to meet Big Ten standards," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said in a statement. "Therefore, they will forfeit future officiating assignments."

Associate director of communications Scott Chipman would not comment on what the mistakes were made in the 24-21 Wake Forest win and said there would be not further comments on the subject.

Wake Forest is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, while Purdue is a member of the Big Ten Conference.

The Boilers had seven penalties called against them for a total of 66 yards. Wake Forest was called for three penalties for 35 yards.

Officials from the ACC could not be reached and Purdue athletic director Morgan Burke also chose to not comment on the action taken by the Big Ten.

The eight-man officiating crew had four officials that are listed on the Big Ten’s staff. They are referee Daniel Capron, linesman Steve Beckman, back judge Scott Buchanan and side judge Don Swanson.

Beckman had been a Big Ten official since 1990. Capron and Buchanan both had been officials in the conference since 2000 and Swanson began in 2001.

SEC Nation has been good TV. They just finished a segment with Terrell Owens that was a good interview. Top notch stuff including his feelings about missing out playing for the Tide.

ESPN just did a great piece (Tom Rinaldi) on Alabama's motivation after last years game.

Then Lee Corso goes "Michelle ran for 1,000 yards this season... thats the first time Georgia's ever had that." The same school that has featured backs like Knowshawn Moreno, Todd Gurley... and Herschel Walker... Kirk literally busted out laughing and just shook his head.
