[Husker] The fed bringing the hear on the BCS

[j j]

About the same as they get from going to a bowl game.....what do you think they get now that is so special they would hate to lose it? As a player I would much rather be involved in some form of tournament that decided a champion then a bunch of reporters deciding who got to play for it.

I am a Steelers fan, they didn't make the dance this year because the Jets got let in, but that's tough, the Steelers should have beaten Oakland and Cleveland and they'd have been in.
