A match made in...idiocy?

I find this to be one of the most compelling stories of the week. Someone needs to look into this. This NEEDS to happen. Just when you thought the Gary Barnett E! True Hollywood Story couldn't get any better, enter... SMU?

The best part of all this is that SMU is not shopping for Barnett. He had to seek them out. Any thoughts on how this rationalization goes?

Barnett: "Well lets see, I've got a great story from Northwestern that ends with a team shrouded in questions about steroids and academic issues. Then I jump ship to go and kill a Colorado program with a sex scandal and some chick who was just a terrible kicker. Where can I go now? Hey, how about SMU? The NCAA already killed the program once, I can't possibly be that bad."

I am overwhelmed with the possibilities here. Is SMU willing to test the theory on whether lightning can strike twice? Everyone always says that the NCAA will never award the death penalty again. But is SMU really going to bet the farm that the odds of them assessing the punishment to the same school twice is even lower?

And how low can Barnett go? If one of his players shoots an opponent during competition, does the nation turn a blind eye because it is SMU?

Again, I say this MUST happen.

Notre Dame vs. Nebraska.

Isn't it time we schedule this game so they can determine on the field who is the less crappy team. Charlie Weis's Xs and Os advantage completely neutralized by the ex-NFL coaching mind of Coach Callahan. It would be like watching a game on Sunday.

Giving up 76 to Kansas? Congressman Osborne to sponsor a bill through subcommittee to ban Coach Cal from the entire state.
