Notes

Bye Bye, Beanie
- The ESPN ticker just told me that Beanie Wells is out for Saturday's USC game. Interesting as about a million rumors flooded Ohio State web sites this week, but most ended with "he'll play." Obviously, this greatly reduces OSU's chances which were looking slim. My take is that the Buckeyes go empty backfield, five wide and throw short passes or bring in Terrelle Pryor and run the ball.

Butch Almighty
- I missed last night's North Carolina-Rutgers game. Is UNC for real or is Rutgers just back to being, uh, Rutgers?

We Will Not Regret This Whatsoever
- WVU signs Bill Stewart to a six-year contract. That's nice. It's two years for every point they scored last week!
