Big Ten Spotlight

Two quick thoughts:

1. The Flint Journal reports that John L Smith will be let go from his job in the next 40 minutes. A press conference has been called and sources think that defensive coordinator Chris Smeland will take over as the coach. At least this will stop the coaching abuse, both from fans, and himself that Smith took. Michigan State can still make a bowl appearance with two more victories.
2. George Solomon, the ESPN Ombudsman reports that:

   Some viewers are still upset the football game between top-ranked Ohio State and Indiana this month was on ESPNU rather than ESPN or ESPN2.

   Yes, those fans were upset that they didn't get to see Ohio State actually give up three points. They thought that game was a little more sporting at 44-3, than the national broadcast that was given to the Buckeyes win over Minnesota, 44-0. Come on, people. Don't we have better things to worry about than having missed another blowout by Ohio State? Now, if the Ohio State - Michigan game is slated to be on ESPNU, then you can complain.
