You've Been Croomed

No idea how I missed this, but there's a new term on these here Internets.

"Croomed" (v.) - To lose your job as a head football coach upon being defeated by Mississippi State's Sylvester Croom.

Rusty Hampton of the Clarion Ledger appears to have coined the term in November. The fellas at Hail Dear 'Ole State turned me on to it. Sly Croom has recorded 9 wins over the past three seasons at MSU. Per Hail State, here is how his opponents have faired:

Coaches Croomed
Florida - Ron Zook
Murray State - Joe Pannunzio
Alabama - Mike Shula
Tulane (2 times) - Chris Scelfo (a year later)
UAB - Watson Brown

Night of living croomed
UK - Rich Brooks
OM - Ed Orgeron
Jacksonville State - Jack Crowe (Div I-AA)

Harsh.
