Well, whether your policy can be considered leading-edge or not (I currently
know of no other similar policy), if it is going to be enforced like the
no-smoking policies are at concerts, I wouldn't put too much stock in things
changing given this rule will have to be enforced to tens of thousands of fans.

Michigan's 1992 schedule (from the pocket schedules available in Ann Arbor)
  Sept. 12     at Notre Dame
  Sept. 19     Oklahoma State*
  Sept. 26     Houston*
  Oct. 3       Iowa*
  Oct. 10      Michigan State*
  Oct. 17      at Indiana
  Oct. 24      Minnesota*  (Homecoming)
  Oct. 31      at Purdue
  Nov. 7       at Northwestern
  Nov. 14      Illinois*
  Nov. 21      at Ohio State
         * denotes home games
 
As to acquiring tickets, it's not difficult if you're in town 
the night or morning before the game.  You'll have to buy from 
scalpers and pay a bit more though.  If you're in town the day 
or evening before the game, go to the front of the student union
and watch for the guys offering to buy football tickets.  They 
usually have plenty for sale.  The day of the game, just follow 
the crowds to Michigan Stadium and talk to the people with signs 
reading "I need tickets".  Michigan State and, perhaps, Iowa 
will be the most expensive.  MSU will surely be the most difficult 
to obtain.  Good luck.

I was at the Orange Bowl in 1990, and it was played in the Orange Bowl (as
far as I can remember).  If you went to Joe Roby Stadium for the game
I'm not surprised that you didn't have a good time (it was probably empty at the time).

Actually, I have to agree with the first posting more--there were a lot of
really bad sports I knew as a student that just were miserable when ND lost
(Then again, I was there in the Faust Dark Ages...)  ND fans are extremely
cordial and polite winners, and are very cordial to opposing fans at ND,
and I certainly wouldn't call ND's tradition pathetic, but I didn't enjoy
being on campus after the team lost.

That's right: one win in six games.  The average score was only

It was 3rd down, the completion was for 35 yards, and the receiver was

Purdue has pretty ugly uniforms, with a bland helmet.  Fred Akers tried to
spice them up a little, but Purdue is now going back to the older ones,
trying to regain the blue-collar image.

I think that any team with bright orange or purple (the only purple teams I
can think of are Northwestern, Kansas State, and LSU, but I'm sure there
are others) are pretty gross.  I can't think of a bright-orange team
offhand.  The absolute worst uniforms I've ever seen are the
fluorescent-green jersey on the Sacromento Surge, but that's a pro team,
so....  (or is it Orlando with those gross colors)

I wouldn't use the phrase "But WE can't get JoePa to change those damn
uniforms." Most hard core, and quite a few casual Penn State fans truly
grow to love them. If we had a logo on the helmets, names on the jersey and
fancy striped pants we'd be lost in the crowed of over-done uniforms just
like everybody else. So just enjoy the reputation and tradition of the plain
Penn State uniforms and pray they never change. You'll eventually grow to
appreciate them.  I have to confess... I am a convert. I used to want them
to "upgrade" the uniforms back when I was in high school. A year or two of
Lion pride fixed that notion.

By the way, Penn State just announced a no-smoking policy in the stadium.
I say it's about damned time. Smokers had the attitude that just because they
were outside they "couldn't possibly be bothering anyone". Meanwhile those
around them were gagging and waving the smoke away all day long to see the
game.  Is this policy leading-edge or has Penn State been lagging behind the
rest of the country? I'm a little curious.

in Tallahassee when the FSU kicker missed that field goal by six inches.  Hell,
that bird knew the result even before the referee.  Also, I remember when Kevin

Well, Switzer has been announcing the games on Radio (I forget the call letters) for the football games for the past couple of years.  Greg, his oldest son,
just graduated from U of A.  He has another son that will be entering college soon.  I, as one Hog fan, would like to see Switzer with the Hogs.  Crowe was
supposed to be an offensive genius, but I've yet to see the "genius."  I can't
see that Crowe would still be around if he has another season like the past two.  After all, we've ran off Holtz and Hatfield, and they both had winning seasons.

Go figure!
