Lamely,  I didn't turn on the TV until 9:45-ish Pacific. By then, apparently, 
Pat  Fitzgerald had been at the mike. Anyone have a report?
Also, for those of  us who have endured the "Northwestern doesn't belong" 
nonsense for far too  many years, this post at Deadspin (www.deadspin.com) is 
entertaining: "...  Hoosiers Still Working Out the Buggs: How long will Indiana 
last in this  conference? The Hoosiers (1-7, 4-7 last season) haven't had a 
winning season  since 1994, have not been to a bowl game since 1993 and have not 
won a bowl  game since the Copper Bowl in 1991. But it wasn't always so bleak 
for Indiana.  Trent Green went there, and before him, in 1967, the Hoosiers 
won the Big Ten  and made it to the Rose Bowl. Fun Indiana fact: Junior long 
snapper Tim Bugg  is backed up by his brother, freshman Brandon Bugg."
The 1967 reference, of  course, conjures up visions of John Pont. I refrain 
from further  commentary.
Warm regards to all of you, Alan


Of course Alan, you know that your local community college ,Men of Troy,  
beat IU in that Rose Bowl 14-3 and don't pick on IU for not winning a bowl game  
since 1991--I know one school in the BT that has to go back to 1949
