[NU Sports] Back on the air

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Ah, so that's why this one got kicked back. Oh well,
it's still relevant despite the Illini collapse.:)
Maybe we'll at least get a good title game with the
rest of the B(C)S games sucking (though tonight's is
close - if only I could care about the Hokies or
Jayhawks:) ). You gotta believe the B(C)S folk are
praying OSU wins next week - a sluggish LSU victory
and you could see UGa and USC make a strong case for a
split title (too bad UGa and LSU never played this
year).

Anyway, to the post-Citrus Bowl post:
