Sheesh Bob, with the way you can spin the "facts", you could have a 
career as a political consultant.

Could the reason the Huskers made the 1999 Rose Bowl be, perhaps just a 
teensy bit, because of the 11 wins they had before the Colorado loss?

And that unranked K-State team that beat the Huskers last year? Didn't 
they also win out the rest of the season, decisively thumping the 
top-ranked Sooners in the Big-XII championship game?  Gee, what a 
disgrace, losing to a team that was begining to gel into one of the top 
teams in the country at that time.
