Monday morning buffet, pre-Christmas edition

You’ve gotten to snack on a few bowl games – last night’s was particularly fun to watch – so go easy on the buffet board this morning.

• Another day, another Georgia injury story.
• Speaking of last night’s game, the fact that it was a good ‘un was almost a bonus.
• How low has it gotten for Notre Dame?  Low enough that the Hawaii Bowl is a big deal for the Irish, who are currently a one point underdog to 7-6 Hawai’i.
• Bah, humbug.
• And speaking of humbug, this goes down as one of the lamest ledes evah.
• Well said, Mr. King.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Duke.

David Cutcliffe just received a two year contract extension as a reward for guiding Duke to a 4-8 record this season.  That’s because in the words of his genius AD, Cutcliffe is “an elite player within the entire college football coaching community.”

Duke lost its last five games in a row this year.  By that standard, Gene Chizik must rank in the elite of the elite.

I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Cutcliffe if Duke becomes bowl eligible in the near future.  Kevin White has a superb track record when it comes to getting excited about (and overpaying) head football coaches.
