Way back in the stone ages of college football, probably early 1900's but
I'm not sure, Notre Dame was playing Michigan(I think) and came from behind
to win.  Someone on the visiting sideline supposedly said, "Those darned
Irish, those darned fightin' Irish."  Anyway, the name obviously stuck. 
That's all I can remember - correct me if I'm wrong.

	Well, now that the dust is all cleared, I guess there's nothing more
you can really say except that the Crimson Tide really just smashed the 
living hell out of Miami.  I've never seen a team just go belly up and 
give up the way Miami did.  For all the criticism of Barker, at least he did
what he was told, where as the much vaunted Heisman winner played like a 3rd-
stringer on the Samford bench.  

	Very satisfying, as well, was watching Lamar Thomas, who, more than
anyone else, represents lack of class and dignity in football, the living
embodiment of cockiness and arrogance, crying like a whipped dog on the 
bench.  What could possibly be better?  Especially after the way he raved
and bragged about the way Miami squeaked by an FSU team that was off their
feed when they played Miami.  And to be run down--even though you're 
supposedly the fastest man in the game--and have your arm twisted behind
your back and taken away...hah hah hah hah hah.  Heee hee hee......

	I will say, in the interest of fairplay, that I'm damned glad we 
didn't have to play FSU.  They lost to Miami, but they revamped a few games
later (after Virginia?  Ga Tech?) and probably were, once again, the best 
team in the country at the end of the year.  But colleges don't use playoffs 
and the Tide again has a championship, and what more is there to say?

	By the way, does anyone know anything about Miami's schedule next 
year?  I know Alabama's kind of trapped in the weaker side of the SEC, and 
that FSU's non-ACC games are Florida, Notre Dame and Miami, but does Miami 
play anyone besides FSU?  This isn't supposed to be snide but an genuine 
question.

I see nothing wrong with being proud of your heritage as long as you
allow others the freedom to be equally proud of their own heritage.
I do not see how displaying the Confederate battle flag inhibits anyone
from being proud of their heritage.

your objections. :-)

I assume you are referring to the symbol on the Texas license plates?
Why not simply paint, or place your annual renewal sticker, over
Beevo's image?  That would fix your license plate.  Or do you object
to other people having Beevo on their license plate?  If so, why?
How do you know the intent of the driver?  Surely not everyone with
Texas plates is a UT fan.

The biggest special interest in this country is the combination of
special interest groups that find it necessary to suppress speech
and expression.  Some of these groups do good work on other issues.
However, their efforts to enforce "politically correct" codes of
speech and expression are eroding our first amendment rights.

In a similar vein, CU backup LB John Katsovich and backup TE/FB Scott
Phillips will not return for the '93 season.  Katsovich recovered from a
severe knee injury to return in '93, but Phillips saw his playing time
significantly diminished in the move to the one-back offense.  Both
would be 5th year seniors, and will retain their athletic scholarships
for the upcoming academic year (someone should tell Steve Spurrier :-).

Wisconsin got a verbal committment from Rob Lurtsema of Burnsville, Minn.
yesterday. Lurtsema chose UW over Michigan State, Iowa, Notre Dame and 
Minnesota. He's the third Minnesotan to choose UW. 

UW is also in the running for Tarek Saleh, a LB from West Haven, Conn. He's
rated the seventh best player in the east and would be the second or third
LB that Alvarez had stolen from under Paterno's nose.

In a bit of news I didn't especially like to here, UW withdrawed it scholarship
it had offered to Homestead's (Milwaukee) Darnell Smith, considered one of the
top four players in the state. UW has been waiting for Smith to committ for
a while, but now that the Badgers have the inside track on Saleh they will
probably use their final scholarship on him. Smith will apparently choose
between UCLA and Notre Dame now. Dave Keel, Smith's coach, said that Smith was
disappointed "because he liked the folks at Wisconsin." I'm also disappointed.
I hate to see UW pass on a state prospect. It can only hurt them down the road
in the eyes of Wisconsin high school football coaches.

Still, it looks like UW will have a top 10 to top 20 recruiting class this
year, keeping the program heading in the right direction.

I second the above.  12 years ago one of my sisters got married.  At
the time, I was enrolled at Ohio State and in the Marching Band.  My
sister decided to have her wedding on a Saturday in November that
coincided with the season-ending OSU vs. Michigan game.  Acquiesing
to my parents wishes, my sister asked me to be in her wedding, but
I politely turned her down because of #1:  I didn't really get along
with my sister, and #2:  I didn't want to miss the OSU/Mich. game.
I found out after the wedding that my uncle, an alumnus of Ohio State,
listened to the game during the wedding on one of the old little
transistor radios which one could use a single earplug for, and this
from a man who is a devout Catholic.

On a somewhat related note, I'll never forget the story I read in a
Reader's Digest, in the Campus Comedy section, which an Ohio State
student sent in.  On a particular football Saturday, she was stopped
at an intersection red light.  While waiting for the light to turn
green,  a particularly intense moment of the game came through over
the radio and she focused on the outcome of the play.  When the play
was over, she looked up, saw the light was green, but nobody had
moved, attesting to the fact that everyone must have probably been
listening to the game.

No, the Eagles fans SHOULD be rooting for Dallas.  Simply because Dallas
