Lane Kiffin out<\/strong> as USC football coach.<\/a> USC lost 62-41 to Arizona State yesterday; if other reports are to be believed, Kiffin was fired before the plane even got back to LA.<\/p>\n Kiffin was 28-15 overall. So far this year, the team is 3-2 and 0-2 in conference.<\/p>\n And the Astros have hit the 110 loss mark with one game left in the season.<\/a> Right now, the team is at .317. .300 is sort of the bar for Wikipedia’s “List of worst Major League Baseball season records”<\/a>, so the 2013 Astros won’t make that list. But I do still find this achievement refreshing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is kind of early for a Sunday morning – I haven’t had breakfast yet, or even coffee – but I wanted to get these up before I wandered out in the rain (Yes!
