My youngest son is a huge Mean Green fan, how could you not be with a name like that, right?

He has also combined Tulane and North Texas into the University of North Tulane Mean Green Wave.

The joy of being 11 years old

Klieman retiring at K-State. Klein seems like the most logical fit and probably what K State fans are pining for.

This tail-wagging-the-dog post has made me chuckle all morning. Reminds me of Woody Hayes in the late '60s responding to a reporter who asked him about concerns that the football team and its success overshadowed the educational mission of the university: "Not at all. Ohio State is a university of which the football team can be justifiably proud."

Reminds me also of another classic Hayes bon mot. Not many people know that he was an Assistant or Associate Professor of Military History and taught a course on it during winter quarter each year (January through March, before spring practice began.) He was lunching at the OSU Faculty Club at some point and as he browsed the salad bar a professor approached him and loudly berated him about the football team's overshadowing the university and making it an academic joke. It got really quiet as everyone stopped eating and tuned in to the confrontation.

Woody apparently listened to the guy with great equanimity, put down his plate, and tapped the guy on the chest: "Just remember that while I can do your job; you will never be able to do mine."
