I find it difficult to cheer for Ohio State too, and Lloyd Carr is always
so entertaining when his team gets thumped in a game that Michigan was 
expected to win handily.  :-)

I wonder if the folks in Columbus are re-thinking the wisdom of that
Texas contract now?  They were widely quoted a few years as saying they
had no interest in scheduling Nebraska because they didn't want to get 
knocked out of the BCS in September.  I wonder if they'd have preferred 
to have had the Huskers on their 2005 schedule than the Horns?
