Dennis Erickson, former head coach of Idaho, Wyoming, Washington St., Miami, Seattle Seahawks, Miami, San Fransisco 49ers, is now back at Idaho.Erickson's deal pays him about $200,000 a year... but then again he is still "earning" $2.5 million per year over the next 3 years from San Fransisco. Seems like a good deal for Idaho. As bad as Erickson's NFL track record is, he's had some good success at the NCAA Level. He won two championships with Miami in the late 1980s/early 1990s, and his Oregon St. team led by Ken Simonton hammered Notre Dame 44-13 in a BCS game, in what I believe was Ty Willingham's first year for the Irish. Should be interesting to watch Erickson.
- Very good article by Pat Forde about West Virginia, and how things have worked out for them, including how they got Beilein, Gansey, Pittsnogle, Herber, etc. Very interesting article.
- Another loss for #6 Florida, as they fell to South Carolina 71-67. This is Florida's third loss, and it probably solidified Tennessee as the best team in the weak SEC.
- A couple other scores of note: Northwestern beats Big Ten leading Iowa 51-48. Also, George Washington beats Dayton 81-67 to improve their record to 19-1. They are now ranked #8.
