   I would allow Maryland another TD or two here. From what I understand, Duffner brings in a run-n-shoot. Maryland has a couple of sure-handed receivers (Badgett and another one whose name eludes me at the moment). If Maryland has a decent quarterback, they will roll up some yardage. I still think Virginia will beat them because of Maryland's lack of defense. I would make the score: Virginia 31, Maryland 21.

Under current NCAA regulations, student-athletes are not allowed to have a 
paying job during their scholarship.  This rule was implemented because of 
some gross violations that would have players get paid something like $20
an hour for sitting in a photo booth, etc.  It could be argued that the
student-athletes are already getting compensation for what they do -- their
scholarships.  My question is, would it be unreasonable to pay them a
relatively small amount ($100/month, like an ROTC scholarship) and require
them to do things like community service in the off-season.  The types of
community service could be determined by the NCAA, and since it would be 
in the off-season, it wouldn't unreasonably burden the student-athlete's
time.  Opinions are welcome.

Well, this is good news.  The Washington fans are still as cocky as ever.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a few Washington
drumsticks laying around the old ballpark this year - maybe this weekend?
Yeah, Washington is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, but football is
a funny game - during the first week of the season especially.
And the cockiness of the Huskies fans does give me someone to root
for at least.
So, here's to a 100 degree evening, maniac fans and a few well timed

Oh yeah!?

We've got a measly 500 or so acres, and we have a golf course, a big
lake (for the ski and sailing teams, doncha know), AND a circus! I'll
admit that a pig farm next to a george bush library IS pretty

Susan, I was there.  The story that you tell is from your perspective.
I seem to remember that the Notre Dame Band was already on already on
the field, while the USC Band the Football team were stuffed in the
tunnel.  The Notre Dame Football team decided to pull the same trick
that they had with Miami and make a wall in front of the USC team -
preventing them from coming out while the announcer "welcomed" and
introduced the team to the Notre Dame playing field.  Well, the USC
team did not want to stand for this, and tried to get through the
human barricade of Notre Dame players.  And the inevitable happened.

At the end of the game it was Lou Holtz that appologized to USC for
the actions of the Notre Dame players.  In this case the blame was
placed on Notre Dame.

Now do not get me wrong.  I like Notre Dame.  I find their history and
tradition as great as USC's.  I even remember when the Notre Dame
crowd use to give standing ovations to the USC Marching Band.  However
in the past few years, I've seen the Notre Dame crowd change into one
with less class.  It's not that I am all that bitter at USC's record
with Notre Dame, but have you ever heard of "good winners".  

Good Luck to Notre Dame.
Looking forward to the game here in November.

Fight On!

You speak about the last 3 years and how "NOBODY has beaten buffs" by 35 points
in the last 3 years. Well, CU has not played a GREAT passing team such as Miami
in the last 3 years either. Now please listen carefully to what I am saying.
Cu has play some very good teams the last 3 years. But NU, OU, Alabama, and
ND are NOT great passing schools. They played Illinois. They are a GOOD passing
team but they are not in Miami's league. And they split with Illinois.

Miami would have beaten CU or OU just as bad as they did Nebraska last year in the Orange Bowl and if either team meets them in the '93 Orange Bowl - then Miami will just win big again. They are better than the Big-8 teams. All of them. NU, OU, and CU are not in that league any more. I hope they get back there.

well, thats because I was mainly concentrating the performance

other than Cal's victory over a declining Clemson program
(the same clemson that lost to Georgia and tied with UVa)
there was little for California to get excited about.

And Washington is not in California, and its questionable
if Michigan really benefits from the ECMB.

I think you've got it about right.  Traditionally, OU sputters a little on
offense the first game, so last night was particularly impressive.  The defense
has a long way to go, but they did improve considerably from the 1st quarter
to the 4th.  The defense committed way too many penalties.  They'll get a good
chance to practice against Arkansas State next week.

Aubrey Beavers is awesome.

I was favorably impressed with Tech, esp. QB Hall.  If the Tech tight ends 
can learn to catch, they'll win a few games this year.

The sad thing about the refs: it was an all Big 8 crew.  I guess Sooner fans
might need to get ready for some lousy calls.

BTW, what did you think about the inteference call that helped set up Tech's
lone TD?  I thought the defender was clearly going for the ball when the
collision ocurred.

Oh, you forgot one thing:    CALE GUNDY!

	There was a program back on Tuesday night that featured the great 
coaches of the "Big 3" here in Florida. And one interesting thing they talked 
about was paying the players. (BTW everyones favorite college football 
commentator was hosting this show: Ol' Beano). Bobby was up first and said
that school ought to pay thier players for these reasons:
   -All of thier tuition, books, housing is paid for by scholarships
   -To keep juniors from entering the NFL draft
   -Big schools like UM, UF, and FSU have the funds
   -The kids need misc money to do stuff on weekends, they get bored being
    stuck at a dorm. 100 bucks a month should be enough "petty cash"
Erickson and Spurrier both agree to paying the players. They added that 
it should cut a big portion of NCAA rules that affect high profile, high
profit schools. GET RID OF THE RED TAPE!!
