Novak’s reputation still growing

Random thoughts to ponder after Northern Illinois’ historic appearance in the Discover Orange Bowl:

Thought No. 1: Let me get this straight, ESPN immediately apologizes for Brent Musburger’s harmless and flattering on-air comments about Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend – the former Miss Alabama, Katherine Webb – during the BCS title game Monday night.

If that’s the Twilight Zone case, I imagine our ESPN buddy Kirk Herbstreit must have received a pay raise for all his Huskie invectives on the Bowl Selection Show last month. What a world we live in.
