Quick notes

I'm about to head out to watch games with some friends, but a couple quick notes from the early games and events:

- A good start to today's action with Georgia Tech playing an unbelievable second half and knocking off Georgia in Athens, 45-42. Georgia just could not stop the option. If UGA continues to be an undisciplined defense incapable of playing its assignments, then this matchup with Tech is going to be a nightmare. While UGA jumped out to an early lead, Tech just kept grinding. Great win for Tech.

- Incredible finish in the Kansas-Mizzou game as the Jayhawks score with 27 seconds left and then Mizzou's 54-yard field goal attempt misses at the buzzer. Mizzou still goes to the Big 12 title game.

- Coaches continue to drop. Sylvester Croom resigned at Mississippi State although I'm sure the writing was on the wall after Friday's blowout loss to rival Ole Miss. MSU will be looking for a quick turnaround. Should be interesting to see if they'll come up with the money for a big name. Shane Montgomery resigned at Miami, Oh. after the Red Hawks got thumped by rival Ohio U yesterday. Montgomery was always a bit of a reach for that job and went 17-31 in four years. That's a good job, though and should draw interest from some talented assistants.
