The Ole Miss/Boise game is actually pretty decent. Sloppy play on both sides, but a decent game.
I was just fumbling between CNN and the SEC games tonight and caught a report from a British female reporter on the ground in eastern Ukraine. Anderson Cooper was asking her about the possibility of "Russian volunteers" in Ukraine, and she responded, very matter-of-factly, "Yes, they're volunteers, if you like seeing tanks."

CNN just had a Russian opposition parliamentarian on. Apparently, he is the only politician in Russia to vote against the mainline approach to Ukraine thus far. Fairly young guy. He sounded like the only person in Russia to actually have common sense and acknowledge things for what they are.
At the end, the anchor asked if he was concerned for his personal safety (as I was wondering the entire time as well), and he said the Russian govt. had frozen his accounts and forbade him from traveling internationally, but that he was going to speak his mind no matter what.
Brave man.
Seriously, though, the Russian govt. has handled this one about like the dude who used to be Burhead's avatar. There are no Americans in Iraq, he says, as B-2s and F-18s fly over in the background and as M1s can be heard in the distance.
