[NU Sports] Bad day for the Big Ten ... (fwd)

[warneradams]

I love UT.  I lived in Austin for 3 years in my 20's and it was great.  Went
to a lot of Texas games and grew to hate the Aggies.  I cheer for Texas Tech
to beat either of those schools however.

Hating college teams can't always rationally be explained however.  My dad
used to tell me that Notre Dame players cheated by faking injuries in the
last two minutes of a game when they were out of timeouts.  I have no idea
where he came up with that one but I started hating ND from a young age
after that!

Other than the general unreasoning hatred of Texas and Texans that seems 
to pervade the North, is there any reason in particular for this trashing 
of my hometown University?

I've seen no explanation other than the understandable soreness from the 
Longhorns having been awarded the PAC-10's spot by the Rose Bowl committee 
and then being ungracious enough to actually win the football game.

I'm pretty excited to see us play ASU.  We survived our first two tests, 
including last Saturday's thriller, and while we have sustained some minor 
injuries we're pretty healthy going into ASU.  Let's hope it's not too hot 
there by 9pm Central.

Go 'Cats,
