Just borrowing the line in how it was labeled.

BBVA Compass Bowl
SMU vs. Pittsburgh (Jan. 7, 1 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN3)
Todd Graham's compass had a late magnetic malfunction and he headed due west, leaving Pitt after one so-so season for Arizona State. If Graham ever gets fired by ASU, let's hope the school cans him the same way he informed the Panthers players of his decision to ditch Pitt: by text message.
Anyway, that means Pitt will set a Big East record for Most Head Coaches In 13 Months. They've gone through Dave Wannstedt (looking pretty good right now, isn't he?), Michael Haywood (fired after 16 days), interim coach Phil Bennett, Graham, interim coach Keith Patterson and whomever they hire to replace Graham.
Maybe it will be SMU's June Jones, who supposedly was all set to leave the Mustangs for Arizona State -- until ASU pulled its offer.
Let's just call this game The Orphan Bowl.

Hopefully there will be some Mustang red to be seen among the panther blue.
