Penn State finally hires a head coach, the mother of Alabama's newest star recruit openly roots for LSU, and Craig James does not know what the Internet is.

Michael Dyer to Arkansas State? Sure looks like it, and nothing makes sense anymore.
Michigan's Darryl Stonum has jail time coming.

Leaving us: South Carolina receiving corps Alshon Jeffery, Virginia Tech chicken sandwich specialist David Wilson, Oklahoma hammer Ronnell Lewis, Michigan State jump kick expert Jerel Worthy, Georgia Tech aerialist Stephen Hill, Temple back Bernard Pierce and perhaps Arizona State tall man Brock Osweiler.

Leaving somebody: Florida tight end Gerald Christian to Louisville.
Filling out coaching staffs: hires by Jim McElwain at Colorado State, Arkansas State coach Hugh Freeze and Tim DeRuyter at Fresno State, plus some Kansas defensive staff rumors.

And So Forth
The Orange Bowl mascot bowled over by Darwin Cook? She's fine.
What if the NFL had its own BCS? My Atlanta Falcons get robbed here.
This is actually not a Google bomb, Craig James, but rather an unrefuted rumor (it's seriously not a Google bomb):
