Open Your Mouth, Here Comes Victory

Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap.

This particular money shot belongs to Emily Brydon, who, in her 13th and final season, finally made the podium (2nd place) in her native Canada at the Lake Louise Women's World Cup Downhill race. Bully for her.

But I suspect the champagne toasts we'll be talking about today belong to the coaches of undefeated teams: Mack Brown and Nick Saban. And Brian Kelly, and Gary Patterson, and Chris Petersen. Oh, don't you worry. We'll get to that soon.
