Something bites.. and another one bites the dust.

I finally got around to watching the new Sports Guy cartoon on ESPN.com. Boy... I really missed out last week.

If Bill Simmons is going to cut back on his almost always entertaining columns to put together unfunny shit like this (entire cartoon: Red Sox third-base coach Dale Sveum sends runners home when he shouldn't), he's going to be living in a refridgerator carton this time next year.

Also, Indiana canned Gerry DiNardo, showing once again why they're the worst football program in the Big Ten. The guy took a team with a dead-ass bare cupboard, re-stocked it, and had it in position to make it's first bowl game in more than a decade next season.

So they fired him.

Unless they've got some real whiz kid in the wings who's absolutely guaranteed to lead the program to the promised land, it's a monumental mistake.

How many IU football coaches, hired since the end of World War I have finished their careers with a winning record? One. And he left the school almost 50 years ago.

You've got to have a little more patience when a guy takes over a steaming pile like DiNardo did. Let's not forget that IU beat two ranked teams this year (Oregon and Minnesota) and was close to other big wins (i.e. Penn State).

This is why Indiana football is Indiana football.
