About the only way they'll get stiffed by the BCS now is if the once-beaten Nebraska Cornhuskers, OT survivors against the CU Buffs on Saturday, run it up big against Texas in the Big 12 finale next weekend. Doubt that'll happen so it might be time to gas up the tractors. Here they come, Nawlins. He is a fiery old cuss but his miserable Falcs sure have packed it in this season. I don't know.

So said Saints coach Iron Mike Ditka following yesterday's dismal 43-12 loss to the Rams. And coaches with way too much power trade all their draft picks for one player who sat out yesterday with turf toe. Just five more games, Mike, and then you can go. Raise your hand if you predicted that Arizona, Notre Dame, Ohio State and UCLA would all be home for New Year's while Hawaii, Oregon State and Minnesota would all be calling their travel agents. Or Dennis Erickson losing his Seahawks job on a horrible ref's call and now leading his Beavers to a bowl for the first time since 1965.
