[NU Sports] Bye Bye BCS?

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

Yogi Berra  ran LCI's into Omaha Beach on D-Day.  He claimed that he joined the Coast Guard because he thought that would be a safe place to be,  He laughs every time that story comes up.  Ted Williams treated him with contempt until he found out what he had done in WWII.  To say the least, Yogi wasn't a hell no we won't go type.
