The Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Daugherty reports: The calls in the Queen City for Brian Kelly, the Bearcats' coach, to declare his allegiance to Cincy are growing louder. But, as Daugherty quotes Kelly, "There's nothing to talk about."
Except, as Daugherty points out, there's the talk of the possibility that Notre Dame would want Kelly to take over should Weis be relieved of his duties following the Stanford game Saturday.
But in Ohio, they want Daugherty to follow Urban Meyer's lead and say he's staying where he is.
The Illini will get a taste of what Kelly's team is all about Friday. Irish fans might want to make it appointment television (11 a.m., WLS-Ch. 7).

It's a done deal. It's Stoops. Where there is smoke there is fire. That is the way I roll. I have a contact in Oklahoma that knows that I am overcaffeinated and run my own business. This is the same contact that told me Mike Brey was going to be the NC State coach. I love the Internet.
