     Unfortunately, the way Ohio State is doing this is by diverting money from
academics so that it can give full scholarships to all NMS's who want to attend
here. There is a pattern about the way Ohio State spends money: no sum is too 
great for prestige, but when it comes to programs that will quietly improve 
quality...well, you know, we are in a budget crunch, and...

Why didn't you say you were inquiring about our beloved Ibis.

Did you notice the size of the mouth on that bird ?
 - oops that was something a Bama fan would say

Actually, according to the Audibon Society bible, the Ibis is the
only bird that when cooked (and it doesn't matter what method is
used to cook it) does not taste good with barbecue sauce. I've
heard that some people from the deep south (somewhere between Miami
and Washington D.C.) will eat buzzard meat if you put a good barbecue
sauce on it. We in Miami don't have first hand knowledge of this of
course since we are the sixth borough on New Yak.

I wonder if the Audibon Society ever tried Ibises with a side of goobers ?

You also haven't mentioned the fact that they *are* "at home".
Not having the distractions of a different practice facility, spending
a week in a hotel, and being used to the distractions of that particular
town would also be a valuable advantage.

All of this is harder to measure because it doesn't apply to the regular
season, with teams flying in the night before games.  The closest thing
would be in the NBA and major league baseball with five-city road trips,
but it doesn't happen for football teams except in the Bowl games and
the Super Bowl.  And most of those are at neutral sites.

EXCUSE ME!   NOBODY in the BOWL games!!!!

The # 1 ranked team in the country is nobody.
Bama played Miami. Ranked higher.
Florida played the #2 team in  the ACC. NC ST. ranked higher than FL.
Georgia played the #2 team in the Big 10.
Tenn. played a BC team that was undefeated going into the last two games 
of the season and ranked higher than Tenn.
MISS ST #6 in conf played NC; #3 in conf and ranked higher.

I'll give you one... Ole Miss played Air Force!

I liked Stanford from the beginning.  They've got that PRO look and a great
coach to boot.  They did damn well this year with a team that wasn't built
by walsh.  I will go ahead and look like a miami fan ( I think they are REAL
fan's cause they were really into it ) and say that Stanford could go all the
way next year.  I give em a 1 in 6 (roll of the die) shot.  I think they've
got a real advantage with walsh at the helm.  Pac ten co-champions and as 
good as any pac ten team I think.

U of Miami does no own the Orange Bowl.  They lease it from the city of
Miami.  But, following your logic, if the Dolphins were still playing in
the Orange Bowl, Miami wouldn't have the home field advantage when they
play in the Orange Bowl Classic?

Or if the OB Classic is moved to Joe Robbie Stadium, I guess, Miami
wouldn't have an advantage either.

Why would a playoff help? How is that going to boost tv viewing?

No idea. It was announced that the attendance at the Sugar Bowl was
76,200-something. Part of that may be the distance required for the
fans to attend. Many Bama and Cane's fans are within a day's drive
of New Orleans.

The Holiday bowl is in San Diego. The teams were Illinios and Hawaii -
that's a way for *both* teams. I bet you would have better attendence
if San Diego St played.

The Blockbuster bowl is in Miami. The teams where Pepsi St and Stanford.
Again, a long way for both schools, and perhaps the Pepsi St people were
even less inclined to go.

The Rose bowl is in Pasadena. The teams where Washington and Michigan.
Once again, it's quite a haul for both teams, and their fans. Not to
mention the fact that there was some really crappy weather jamming
up the roads in N. California. I heard that a bus-load of Husky fans
got stuck. I hope they where able to make the game.

I see a pattern here, too. Times are tough, and people may not be *able*
to travel the distances required. And ticket prices are not cheap, either.
I paid $40 for Sugar Bowl tickets, and I'm pretty sure the Cotton Bowl
ran about that much. How expensive are the other bowls? And how accurate 
are the tv ratings? I don't know.
