Early in tonight’s Sugar Bowl, Brent Musburger called Joe Mixon “one of the best” and said he hoped the Oklahoma running back, suspended a year for breaking four bones in a woman’s face, made it to the NFL. That upset a lot of people; Musburger then unwisely responded to the reaction.

The Hennepin County (Minn.) District Attorney’s Office announced today, for a second time, that it had reviewed the evidence against the group of Golden Gophers football players accused of raping a fellow student and decided there was not enough to bring a criminal case. But before going into what prosecutors said, its worth pointing out the timing of this announcement—late on a Friday, also on the last weekday before the extended New Year’s weekend, and after the Gophers played in and won the Holiday Bowl. Like the Oklahoma Sooners, the local prosecutor’s office managed to release this information at the time when as few people as possible will see it.

There’s a good chance that you haven’t spent much time thinking about Lane Kiffin over the last three years, during which he had been serving as Alabama’s offensive coordinator.

But if you’ve missed having Kiffin in the news, if only because it feels good to hiss, “Fuck that guy!” every time you hear his name or catch sight of him, I’ve got good news for you. Lane fucking Kiffin is back.
