Mark Mangino to WVU?

That was the story coming out of Lawrence Kansas last night.

The Lawrence Journal World reported that Mark Mangino had accepted the job at West Virginia, much to the surprise of Jabba, UK, WVU, and Jabba's agent. But Jabba's agent was the one who leaked the story. Really?

A caller claiming to be Kansas coach Mark Mangino’s agent called The Lawrence Journal World and several other newspapers late Wednesday saying the KU coach was having “preliminary talks” with West Virginia. The caller, who claimed to be Mangino’s agent, Neil Cornrich, said Mangino was in negotiations with WVU about their coaching vacancy.
“Mr. Mangino has ended preliminary talks today with the West Virginia athletic department and is now in contract talks with them,” the caller said. “At this time that is all that will be disclosed.”

This of course turns out to be a hoax and retractions were printed this morning after reports were released online last night.

Mangino could not be reached for comment because he was enjoying some delicious sandwiches.

2008 Preseason rankings?

Too early? NationalChamps.net doesn't think so. So how did they come up with these masterful 2008 preseason rankings??? Let me take a stab in the dark. Take the current AP and the Current Sagarin ratings, remove Hawaii, Cincinnati, and Uconn, add in someone off the wall like Ball State, chew, Regurgitate. Oh wait, they forgot to take out Uconn, maybe that's why there are two #21s…

23 CrimiNoles to miss Bowl game!

It is official that Florida State will be without 23 players for the Music City Bowl versus Kentucky. 11 have starting experience, 7 are non contributers and I would guess the other 5 are partial players or special teamers. Reports are FSU coach Bobby Bowden is pissed because he already punished the players by making them run stairs, which of course is a completely fitting punishment for cheating according to Papa Bowden. We know it is NOT, Greg Carr, Preston Parker, Antone Smith, Drew Weatherford, Derek Nicholson, or Geno Hayes (but i'm sure some other charges are coming)

This makes the game even more important for the Kentucky Wildcats who should trounce the Seminoles in Nashville. Lose to the Noles now and you will have some serious egg on your face. Hopefully Kentucky shows up with their head screwed on straight and does what Alabama couldn't do, beat Florida State

Other Dumb Crook News:

Clemson suspends starting linebackers Nick Watkins and Tramaine Billie as well as starting offensive tackle Christian Capote for the bowl game due to academic issues.

Mack Brown's Texas Cornbread!

Mack likes to eat this on a cold winter morn in Texas as he sips his tea.

3 boxes Jiffy MUFFIN mix (you must use muffin mix or some idiot will poke your eyes out with a hook'em)
3 eggs
1 cup BUTTERmilk (this is what makes it special, no substitutes) add more to if you like it moist
1 small can of nacho Jalapeno's (optional if you're a tea-toddling pansy boy from Austin)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (or whatever your muffin box says). Get an Iron Skillet big enough for this and put it on the stove eye on low heat (this will help give you that crisp edge). Spray it generously with Pam (unless you use gas then you will want to turn the eye off first idiot). Mix the other ingredients thoroughly and pour into the warm skillet. Place skillet in the oven on a low rack and start checking it in about 20ish minutes. When the top starts to turn golden brown (it will in streaks) pull it out. Let it cool and then lay a towel out on the counter. Flip the skillet and whop it upside down on the towel and the cornbread should fall out with a beautiful dark brown crust. Flip it over, cut, and serve. Mack serves it with tea at his Sunday Oprah book club.
