No, you must be thinking of your own "Chop Chop Song" or whatever it's 
called.  "Hail to the Victors" is mostly played after a score or at the 
beginning and end of a game.  However, during most of the FSU games I 
saw last year on TV, I'd hear the "ooooooohhh"s and see the hands 
feverishly chopping while there was no scoring going on!  Talk about 
being overdone (even if the band wasn't specifically involved!).

That will go down IMHO as the most overplayed song/chant I ever heard 
in 1991.  I mean, its not like there are any words to ease the monotony 
either!;-)

It keeps going...

I apologize for incorrectly posting that the TN - Bama game will
be played at Alabama.  In fact the game will be in Knoxville.
I was so excited about the prospect of playing them here my mind 
went astray for a moment.

No bull, this is the year we beat them.  Not because I'm a die-hard
VOL fan, but I really the think that both teams are young and relatively
inexperienced.  The youth and inexperience gives the home team the
advantage and we really need that this year.

As for former losses, John Ward (announcer for the VOLS) best described
the the problem in being that for the past few years (since '85) the
TN - Bama game has meant more to Bama.  The TN game was the most important
game of the year for Bear Bryant.  Auburn fans can argue that point but I agree
with John Ward.  Ward went on to say that that current coaching staff at Bama
was/is closely tied to Bryant and therefore has inherited the sense of 
importance that the game brings to Bama.  We have underestimated the Tide for
every year since '85.  No more, back to basics.  Florida is the newest 
rivalry to us but this year's schedule points to Bama as the climax.
Giving the game its proper due, look for TN to NOT underestimate the Tide
this year and break the winless streak against the Tide.

GO VOLS!

I'm curious as to how this rationalization accounts for the 4 year
stint (and hence 4 wins over Tennessee) by Bill Curry as head coach 
at Alabama?  

And how did the '89 squad possibly underestimate the unbeaten top 10
Tide squad which blasted them in Birmingham?

I'm afraid I don't buy this stuff at all - Alabama vs. Auburn is the
biggest game of the year for both set of schools, players, fans, etc.
In fact it would almost have to be the opposite: Tennessee views Alabama as
the biggest game of the year.  Who could possibly be bigger?  Vandy?
Kentucky?  Auburn?

Is there really anyone at Miami who wants to play Florida?  Since
Miami joined the Big East rather than the SEC, it seems Miami would

	Does anyone know the date of the kickoff classic, where it is played,
who covers it, and any other prudent information.
	
	Does anyone have any intelligent comments on the game? I know that in
3 scrimmages the Iowa QB hasn't thrown an INT yet.  But I am not sure if that
means that the QB's are that good, or the defensive backfield is that bad.


	I also have a prediction, if Iowa goes 5-0 to begin the season,
they will be ranked #1 and go to the Rose Bowl.  They will beat NC State.

This article is taken from the March/April edition of Illinois 
Quarterly.


<<Anchored by breakaway halfback Chris Moore of East St. Louis, who
is rated the News-Gazette's player of the year "and the equal of 
any in-state halfback in modern times," Lou Tepper's first recruiting
class as head football coach has "quality" written all over it.

With 28 scholarships to offer over the next 2 years, Tepper opted
to keep the current recruiting class to a maximum of 15. Fourteen 
signees were in his pocket on letter-of-intent day, Feb 5.

The new freshman crop included premier QB Scott Weaver, a Top 100
pick by Chicago prep scout Tom Lemming and USA Today's Pennsylvania
Player of the Year; another E St Louis All-Stater, wide receiver/
linebacker Dennis Stallings; running back Ty Douthard out of 
Cincinnati LaSalle, a Parade All-American and rated one of Ohio's
top-three runners; News-Gazette All-Stater Paul Marshall, a defensive
end from Naperville North; WR Jason Dulick of St Louis University High,
whom Tepper compares to former Illini sensation Shawn Wax '91; and
fullback Rodney Byrd of O'Fallon, a strong two-sport athlete.

At the 11th hour, Tepper got more good news.  Chicago Vocational's
230-lb linebacker William "Moe" Morris announced for Illinois after
teetering between Pittsburgh and Wisconsin.

Tepper is elated with his recruits, citing Moore as a "Barry Sanders"
type of runner, good student and bubbling with confidence. "In my
first meeting with him," said Tepper, "he told me intended to break 
all Red Grange's records." <Sorry Moore but I think they're all held
by Thomas Rooks and Howard Griffith now.> Tepper also had high praise
for QB Weaver, whom he said was the staff's 1st choice from summer
camp and was a "great student and outstanding leader."

Tepper said the overall quality of this class "reminds me of the 
Colorado class of 12 that turned that program around" and that
9 or 10 of his Illini recruits have All-Big Ten potential.>>

On the academic side of Illini Football congratulations to 
co-captain free safety MIke Hopkins '92 and junior flanker
John Wright for being named GTE Academic All-Americans.
Hopkins graduated with a 4.76 GPA in aero/astro engineering
and Wright had a 4.67 GPA in speech communications.

Hopkins started every game for the Illini,finishing 3rd in
tackles with 91. He is now enrolled in grad school at Stanford.
Wright placed 3rd on the team in receiving with 37 catches
and 3 TD's.

I doubt they will be #1 after going 5-0.  It seems unlikely to me that they
will be able to climb over all the other teams likely to be ranked higher 
than Iowa at the start of the season.  Washington, for example, was a
preseason #5 or so last year, and didn't get into the #1 spot (CNN/USAT
poll) until after the Rose Bowl.  In fact, they were #3 for most of the
season behind unbeaten Miami and unbeaten FSU.  It wasn't until Miami beat
FSU that Washington crept into the #2 spot.  OK, so maybe last year is a
little unusual to have two unbeaten and untied teams at the end of the 
year, but I'd be shocked if there weren't at least a half dozen teams that
start out 5-0.  Even assuming that a team has a 50% chance of winning every
game, one team in thirty two will be 5-0.

As for your Rose Bowl prediction, I'd have to see the schedule before I
could make any resonable comment.

Ditto here at the U-Dub.  Except substitute the term "peer institutions"

Hah!  Show me a Yellow Jacket that's afraid of a turkey, enraged

best friend is a car - being "terrified" by an overweight fowl!

The insect stings the turkey, and while it gobbles helplessly in pain
the wreck floors it and runs the poor bird over - no contest, game

turkey can do little damage without an opposable thumb.)

Swimming along lazily and reading r.s.f.c., I see this tempting bait
that I can't refuse to nibble at....

I see the Colo-Wyom thing as a rivalry between neighbors.  I've heard
that N.Tex.St has a mini-rival with OU(which even I find hard to
believe).  K-State had to line-up IdahoSt since Wisconsin(or KSU)
backed out of the commitment.  KSU was just looking for someone to
play.  Too bad the Wis-KSU game didn't happen, I would've thought
that might have been a good game.  KSU had failed to beat the N.ILL
Huskies the previous two years.  So maybe this was to prove they 
could beat them.  Hopefully, this year's KSU schedule will be better.

But this can be a double-edged sword here.  What would you have said
if Miami/Washington had scheduled OkieSt, K-State, IowaSt and Kansas?
Was it the big boys scheduling "sacrificial lambs" or the ugly sisters
trying to dance with PrinceCharming?  BTW, Wash did host KSU and Miami 
hosted OkieSt last year.
