I thought Bitcoins were fictitious but I guess I was wrong. How can an anonymous/de-identified currency sponsor a bowl? Bet this sponsor isn't around next year.

OK, this one might be a little off the wall, but - I like what I'm seeing from the NC State QB. Any chance he's one of those graduated guys who could transfer to M for a final season, a la Russell Wilson?

EDIT: After further research, I guess this guy has transferred already. Don't know if that makes him inelgible to do it again? He DOES have a possible D.J. Durkin connection...

Doeren is in year 2 at NC State and took over a pretty down program.  Usually the good coaches will show you what they are in year 3-4.  He is coming off 2 very big years at NIU where he followed Kill.  He is a Wisconsin guy as well.  If NC State can become relevant in 2015-2016 I expect Doeren to be called to greener pastures but it might be in the ACC as every major Big 10 program save MSU has changed coaches in the past 3 years.  PSU Nebraska or Wisconsin would all be good fits for him in 2 years but I guess unless Franklin bombs those won't be open.

I did an in depth profile of him in the diaries area about 2 months ago - I think this was right after NC State went out to a huge lead on FSU before imploding at the end.  I watched their game vs Clemson a week or 2 later and NC State just didnt have the athletes to stay on the field.

I will be watching Mark Stoops in a similar fashion in years 3-4 of his regime at UK.  Those 2 could be 2 big names (if their programs continue to rise) in the 2015 and 2016 coaching searches.
