The GM Says.....

• Did Auburn make the right choice? I don't know. I don't think it is as bad as everyone seems to think it is BUT only time will tell. I will say this though.....no one is going to have as much success as Tuberville had.
• Former (as of yesterday) Ball State coach Brady Hoke will be the new head coach at San Diego State. Is that really a promotion? It seems pretty lateral to me. I know he is getting paid more but he has a better chance of winning and gaining a better job at a better school by staying at Ball State. SDS plays in the MWC with Utah, BYU, and TCU. Interesting decision.
  
• Syracuse can't beat mid-major basketball teams at home. Last night they lost to Cleveland State at the buzzer. This outcome didn't surprise me since Syracuse regularly loses to teams they should beat and Cleveland State has been pretty good in recent years. But the shot to win it was nice!
• Redskins coach Jim Zorn feels like "the worst coach in America". Well there is a reason for that.....you are. You got away from your bread and butter (running game) over the past few weeks and have basically given up on one of the best running backs in the league.
  
• Haynesworth is OUT for the rest of the regular season with a knee injury. Which means the Titans will lose BOTH of their remaining games....to Pittsburgh and Indy.
• Karma for Pat Williams of the Vikings. He got out of his suspension on technicalities and stuff but now he is out with a broken shoulder for 2-6 weeks. The Vikings will still make the playoffs but losing P. Williams is gonna weaken their chances of getting anywhere in the playoffs.
• NBA coaches are being fired every few days. The Kings fired coach Reggie Theus after a 6-18 start to the season. That's fine with me if the coach had been around for a while. But Theus was only the head coach for 1 full season. You have to give a guy some time to get everything going.
• Anyone care about the Arena league not playing in 2009? Yeah, me neither.
• Tiger's caddie calls Mickelson a prick. This would be a really interesting story if we were headed towards the Master's or something like that. But a golf story in December...who cares!
• The San Jose Sharks are playing great hockey right now. They have set a new standard for teams in the first 30 games of the season. Unfortunately for the Sharks though...it isn't the first 30 games that matter....it's the last 30 games!
