Former Oakland football coach Lane Kiffin, now hired as the new head coach at the University of Tennessee said that being with the “dysfunctional” Raiders was valuable experience. And that “you can’t go to school and learn crisis management like going there.”
Of course, by that token the most learned people in American have worked in the Bush administration.

Automotive companies CEOs are driving their own companies’ cars this week to Washington on their second trip to ask for loans and bailouts. Which is a nice PR move…but if it catches on?
Just wait until the airline companies need bailouts, their executives will keep Congress waiting for hours. And I can already hear the excuses about lost files in luggage.

Executives from all of the Big Three automakers will drive their own hybrids to Washington. Many in Congress think this second bid is too little too late. Just like Detroit starting to make hybrids.-

More BCS madness. The system was created to avoid controversy and confusion in choosing college football’s top teams. So in the Big 12 title game, where the winner goes on to the national championship game, the North division champion Missouri will go against the as-determined-by-the-BCS South Division champion, Oklahoma. Texas, with an identical 11-1 record, barely lost out.
Oh and that one Oklahoma loss? To Texas.
To err is human, to really screw things up requires a BCS.
