Consider:
# of national champions WAC has produced since 1982: 1
# of national champions Big 8 has produced since 1982: 2
# of national champions Big 10 has produced since 1982: 0
(in football, of course; not skiing, gymastics, or anything like that)

Even though that 1984 BYU Nat'l championship is still heavily disputed 
(esp. since Tulsa went 10-1 in 1983 and didn't go to a bowl - same with 
New Mexico - is there no justice??) that is a football national championship.

And, Mr. Henderson, how many of those national championships above belong
to a certain team who wear red (NOT CRIMSON) and plays in a town called Lincoln
with a coach who has bags the size of King Soopers grocery bags under his 
eyes????

I rest my case.

Cap'n, photon torpedos armed....

Ya know, it's a lot of fun watching you rant and rave. Sorta like those 
Ga. Tech fans who claim a national title just because the Mizzou coaches 
couldn't count to five and the Eastern press thinks football ends somewhere 
west of a line from Duluth to Champaign , IL to St.louis to New Orleans.

Colorado fans are not that emotional. We're just new at this. Compare us 
to all those Nebraska fans who swear, year in, year out, "This is the year!
WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY!!!!!" And, since 1971, they haven't. 

I'm not saying that Nebraska is a bad team. I'm saying that they can be as 
illogical, pig-headed, stupid as the 17,000+ Colorado students, wasted from
the pint of Absolut in their bota bags, who crowd into the SE corner of 
Folsolm Field aturday afternoon (of whom, by the way, I'll not be a part
of - for the first time since I began here in Boulder, I do not have a 
season ticket. I had to have someone else buy tickets for me as I was out
of town, and I "had to have a personal check made out to the Athletic Dept.
and not cash. I was pissed, to say the least). Colorado is reknown for its
science and astro depts., Oklahoma State for its agricultural research, 
Iowa State for engineering, Oklahoma for poli sci and energy, Missouri 
for journalism, Kansas for liberal arts, Nebraska for ... um, uh, well, 
what are you all good at academically? Oh yeah, Fundamentals of Football. :^)
