[NU Sports] Well, I hope you're right Alan! :)

I don't like to get into politics on sites like this one, but I can't 
let this go by.  As general Giap said in his memoirs, we knew we 
couldn't beat the American military but we knew we could win the war in 
Washington.  Now the same hell no we won't go mind set has reappeared in 
Washington probably led by people who during the Vietnam War spit on GIs 
coming back from there..  Woody Hayes may have been off of the wall 
towards the end, but he looked after his players even after they had 
graduated or at least used up their eligibility and was a great 
American. That he was off the walls is illustrated by a story that he 
was recruiting in Michigan  and ran out of gas near the Ohio boarder 
rather than buy gas in MIchigan.  I guess he had to walk a couple of 
miles to get to an Ohio gas station. There aren't many characters left 
in sports. college or pro anymore. I'm no OSU fan, but neither am I a ND 
fan.  ND gets a free pass and more free publicity than any school that I 
can think of.  I hope OSU clobbers ND.
