Miscellaneous Minutiae, 9/19/13

Another dreary, sun-less day here in Chicago...in other words, it's fall. Some hopefully not so dreary links:

• Beau Allen, the nose guard in Wisconsin's new look 3-4 defense, enjoys Trolli Eggs. 

• Brad Edwards briefly previews Michigan-UConn (and KSU-Texas). 

• Bruce Feldman goes behind the scenes in College Station to see how the Aggies prepared for Alabama. 
• Bret Bielema has the fifth highest salary in the Southeastern Conference. With bonuses, he'll be making just over a cool $1 million more than he made last season in Madison. 

• Hoke is pulling for the Spartans this weekend (and takes a light jab at the refs from the Wisconsin-Arizona State game).

• Penn State and West Virginia will renew a series that hasn't been played since 1992, with a home-and-home between the two schools set for 2023 and 2024. 

• The Only Colors has a Q&A with Notre Dame blog One Foot Down. 

• This is a few weeks old, but Sam Marshall at SB Nation's "The UConn Blog" wrote about his trip to the Big House in 2010. It's always funny reading the awed impressions of outsiders (including the recent write up by a USF fan) when so many Michigan fans find the Big House environment lacking.
