[NU Sports] I'm not saying I don't normally agree with Mr. Herron

[Christopher Bailey]

But in this instance I think he is spectacularly ... correct.


That Day-Twa isn't anyone's idea of fun isn't what concerns me, it's the screw job a committee can put on, letting one school leap frog another just because they don't like them.

I would love for the Conference to demonstrate the existence of a spine and say to these committees:

This is our fourth the place team.  That's who you get.  No, you do not get to pick the fifth ... or sixth ... or seventh place team instead just because you want them.  This is why we play the games in the first place.

SWEET SIOUX COMES HOME!

GO 'CATS!

This will sound cold, but...

If NU somehow gets screwed and ends up in Detroit, it will be the fans duty  
to ignore the game totally...they can watch it, but don't buy a ticket, and  
don't contribute a dime to Detroit's economy.

Only in this way can it be impressed upon the conference powers-that-be  
(i.e. Jim Delaney)

b) conference rules that allow massive bowl-game screwings can have  
consequences
