One place where they REALLY get into tailgaing and getting fired up for
the game is Sun Devil Stadium at Arizona State (Tempe, Arizona).  You
have to remember that most of the games are at night (7:30 or so start)
so when the Winnebago's start rumbling in about 4:30 with their grills
and coolers ready to go, these folks do some SERIOUS preparing for the
game!  I used to live in a house next door to the stadium, so we were
in the midst of the celebration.
 
I suppose it's sort of an unfair advantage to have most of an entire
day to get ready, but they do it well.

What was better about that game was that a bunch of non-scholorship players,

I didn't quite know what to do with them ... last year I included I-AA Arkansas
State because they were playing a mostly Div I-A schedule and they were to move
up to I-A this season anyway.  That way I had a fair rating on them.  However,
I didn't do that to Nevada, as I didn't know they were going I-A before the
season started.  So, I really have no fair way to rate them at the beginning.
Hence, I took the easy way out ... I just had them replace Long Beach State,
assuming LBSU's rating.  I figure by the end of the season Nevada will play
their way to whatever their correct rating should be (which is the whole reason
behind my orignial computer program anyway ... to have an end-of-season rating 
for each team ... anything else is gravy).

I think I've gotten them all now, thanks anyway.  However, if you know of
any I-AA teams moving up to I-A in 1993, I'd surely like to know so I can
include them in my ratings for this season.

I remember - I also remember that the guy got up and looked at Dumas as if
to say "Nice hit, but I'm still gonna burn your butt" and then proceeded
to do so.  That hit was the last good thing to happen to the Bucks that
day.  OSU dominated until that point (right before the end of the 1st half)
and then Auburn took control.  It was definately a nice hit, though.  Hoping
to see Harper and company make some of those this year.

That is true.  My stats must be revised!  

On another note, the Washington athletic department announced yesterday
that they have a waiting list for season tickets for the first time in
history.  OK, so this is not such a big deal if you are Nebraska fan (or
one of another couple of schools), still it's good that there is some
serious demand.  All of the single game tickets are sold out for the first
two games as well (Wisconsin --happy Brian and Mark??, and Nebraska).  The
athletic department has also sold out their away complement of tickets for
the game at Oregon, although surprisingly not for the Apple Cup game at
WSU.  Only a few seats remain (all of them obstructed view) for all the
other Husky home games except that Big West power, the University of Pacific.
There are still tickets available for away games at Arizona and Arizona St.
For those Husky faithful out there who are hangers-on to r.s.f.c, you
better act quickly if you want to see the Dawgs live, and not on TV...

No, wasn't thinking of EMU, though now that you mention it I do remember
this. The school I'm thinking of was a non-sports powerhouse which had
some success in BBall a few years ago. I think maybe it was 3 years ago
during the NCAAs that the controversy occured. Can't remember the
