What are the numbers for bigten vs pacten loyalty?  It seems like the copper
should get much more support for a pacten school because it is a little
closer.  How are other pacten schools doing as for loyalty?  The Independence
Bowl allegedly loves us because of our loyalty and we're probably one
of the smallest schools in the pacten.  Surely other pacten schools would
get plenty of support in Tucson, no?

I, being a Husker fan since growing up in Nebraska in the '40s and '50s,
would like to congratulate the Iowa State Cyclones on their win in Ames
yesterday.

From what meager details I've been able to read in {Newsday, 11/15/92},
it would seem that the Cyclones took the Husker game to them and gained
a victory in the process.  I offer my congratulations and as the
saying goes "Wait until next year."  15 years between wins over the
Huskers must taste very sweet.

First, I seem to remember Kevin Murray driving around in a 280ZX registered to
or leased by Bum Bright.  Second, SMU was never nailed by the NCAA for hiring
sorority girls to "treat" recruits.  That's a rumor that came out of that whole
mess.  Third, I was actually referring to SMU's 1984 sanctions, which I believe
were 3 years probation, two years w/o a bowl, and a loss of a bunch of scholar-
ships.  These sanctions were for several minor violations a payment to ONE 
recruit of $10K.  That's pretty steep for those violations, but I suppose you 
could argue that the NCAA was punishing SMU for violations which they could not
prove then, but were occurring.  That didn't seem to apply to A&M, though, as 
everyone in Texas knew that the Aggies were giving benefits larger than a $30   
dinner (see Murray, Kevin for reference), but the NCAA apparently chose to 
look the other way.

What class are Steve Collins and Cale Gundy in (Fr, So, etc.)?  Also, Whatever
happened to some of the great OU QB's, Jamelle Hollieway for instance?  Who was
the QB in the seventies who wore the bandana under his helmet (kind of his
trademark).  I read or heard somewhere that Charles Thompson was playing for a
JUCO team somewhere.  The OU QB's were always memorable because they were just
so damned good.  I can remember many games where they would spring a long one
and, seemingly, would be in the grasp of the defensive back, only to pitch to
the trailing halfback who would pop for more yards and usually a score.

Correct, though I am not sure if the Orange Bowl can choose offer its bid
to the lower ranked team in your scenerio. My understanding is that
the bid automatically goes to the higher-ranked team in case the
co-champions were tied in their regular season game.

  I am glad that someone has the nerve to tell it like it is about Alabama..
  The ACC will finally get a stab at our across the way conference antagonists,
  the SEC.. The only SEC team worth anything is Florida. 
  
  I mean, look at the class involved:

       Alabama-- the name says it all-- yuk!! eeww!!
       Georgia-- better than in years past, but, I don't know..
South Carolina-- total scum
      Arkansas-- ick!!
     Tennessee-- second best to Florida.. firing Majors was stupid!!
        Auburn-- well, since I know someone from there, a 3rd...
      Ole Miss-- I laugh.
      Kentucky-- should have knocked off Dook this year, fans so-so...
    
  I don't really keep up with the Mississippi teams... :) no reason to...
  Not an insult, I save those for Alabama and South Carolina!! ;)

 But it was obvious to the official who immediately started pointing to the 
ground indicating Auburn had recovered. What suprised me was the clock operator
didn't stop it when one of the officials attempted to call time-out with around
3 seconds left. If this had been in Athens, no suprise, but this was Auburn's
clock operator.

Yes, the game was not one of A&M's best, but at least they did not
give up the 700+ yards that Texas gave up to UH, in Austin no less.

It appeared as if the officials were trying to make up for the bad
calls that went against UH in Austin.  Maybe they went to school
in Austin, hmmm.

Go ahead and bring a Heisman trophy winner to the Cotton Bowl.
What is A&M's record against Heisman winners?  Let's see, there
was Bo, Tim Brown, Andre Ware, Ty Detmer.  I believe those were
all wins.  Oops, I forgot Barry Sanders.  Oh well, 4-1 isn't
too bad, and I know Ty did not enjoy his game against A&M.
Gino for the Heisman!  Bring it......
