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

[Michael Vance]

I agree wholeheartedly.

Having gown up in Detroit, my three favorite teams while I was at school 
were, in order, NU, Michigan, and whoever was playing Notre Dame.  I then 
married a Spartan and all that did was knock Michigan down a peg or two.

I'm not a big dOSU fan, either, but because of my love of the Big Ten and 
my sheer loathing of Notre Dame, I will cheer for the Buckeyes with all my 
heart during the Fiesta Bowl.
