This sounds good to me.  This way, maybe UW will go to the Orange Bowl and play
UM, which will be a much better game, with more at stake, than let's say 
a game against Michigan.  There is one downside to this and that is that I
couldn't go to California to watch my team play.  I sure won't make the trip
to Florida.  *sigh*  I guess that everything has a downside.

I am just curious how many return lettermen are returning to
the Hurricanes and how many ofr Syracuse?  And, can some one
give me an OBJECTIVE reason why they think Syracuse is gonna
beat Miami?  I was looking at my Heinrich the other day...and I
was clueless as to the reason?  It looks like the same team FSU
beat last year except with a few more newcomers... And, Miami looks
like it has a pretty strong returning team as well... If thats the
case...I think Miami is going to take Syracuse for a walk...even
with the Missile...

I appreciate your points, but maintain that winning (even winning ugly) with a 
freshman Qb starting his first game against the defending National Champ has to 
lend credibility to a program. A squeaker against Marshall hurts but one against
Tech giving the circumstances helps. I have a tape of the game also but without
seeing it the bottom line is a Pack victory. The Pack played better in some losses
than in that victory. Remember we are arguing for top 25 recognition not top 15.

Is that why they were so lovingly referred to as the "Criminoles" for so many years 8~) ?
Not that I have anything against the Noles, if Miami doesn't win the MNC I hope it goes
to FSU or the Gators instead. Personally I'd like to see a 1,2,3 finish for the State of
Football...er...Florida and it doesn't matter to me which is which.

This scenario would be a major coup for the Bowl Coalition, since 
Washington would technically be the PAC-10 runner-up and would
therefore be part of the BC, Tier I.  A #1 vs. #2 game would then
be very likely.

I think I like your brother-in-law.  I was a diehard Cowboys fan
in the 70's, wheen there were only two REAL teams (the cowboys
and the steelers).  MY heart just broke when the fired Landry
and hired Johnson.  Much as I hate to admit it, Johnson has
done a good job turning around the cowboys program.

You might want to look at the schedules for 1993 and 1994.  I think

I'll buy that they all played well when given their chance, but by my count, 
you have two out of three quarterbacks who have demonstrated that they are 
injury prone.  Sorry, but I consider that a detriment.  While 9-2 is a good 
season by any inteligent fan's standards and also deserving of a top 25 pick, 
the Wolfpack is going to have to have more consistency to improve on that mark.
Were it my team, I'd trade three proven capable quarterbacks for one proven

Actually, in 1983, one of Tech's 2-9 years, Tech LOST to Furman, blowing
the game in the 4th quarter (as they did so many times that year).  The
2 wins?  N.C. State and Virginia.  Mark, back me up on this.

Yes, it is true.  In '94, UW goes down to UM to start a home and home series.
UM comes to play UW at Husky Stadium in '98.
Then, we've got ND starting a home and home series with UW with a game at 
Husky Stadium in '95.  :)

But, before all this, we have to worry about USC.  Don James said in a press
release yesterday, "Miami and ND are no match for USC."  He added, "The 
Trojans are from another planet.  I am not sure if we have enough talent to
beat the mighty USC."  Finally, the Don said, "Miami and ND games are so

the Trojans, even minus ugly-kid Todd is a big task!!"  :)  :)

Well, there was some controversy as to whether or not Mirer and DuBose were
drinking.  According to them, they had just arrived at the party when the
police arrived.  The controversy occurred when one of the arresting officers
backed them up and said that, although they were arrested for being drunk
and disorderly, they were not.  This caused a big stink and that officer was
promptly dismissed.

There is quite a bit of an anti-ND student sentiment in South Bend and a long
record of police harassment of students, so Demetrius and Dubose may very well
have been innocent of the charges.

According to today's Chicago Tribune Notre Dame has ruled him ineligble 
pending an NCAA review of his status. They have asked for his reinstatement. 
Apparently the couple who loaned him the $5000 (supposedly to be repaid after 
he goes pro) are ND alumni and that is their connection to ND. I hope that the 
NCAA does not allow him to play. Every alumnus receives a mailing from the 
athletic department at ND detailing NCAA regulations with regard to recruiting 
and benefits to players. As an Irish fan, I will be miss his contributions to 
the team but the integrity of college football is more important than any one 
player.

Joe Metzger, projected starting TE for the Buckeyes, went down yesterday
with a broken leg after turning to catch a pass (no contact injury).
He underwent surgery and will reportedly be back in the Syracuse/Wisconsin
timeframe.  That leaves the TE duty to Cedric Saunders and two 1st year
freshman.

Depth could be a problem for the Buckeyes this year - they can't afford
too many injuries like this.

On another note, it was reported that Bo Schembechler will be doing the
play-by-play along with somebody else (Dan Dierdorf?) for the OSU-Bowling Green
game.  I pray to the gods that my tickets come through so I won't have to
listen to that.
