[NU Sports] CFB Postseason...Survey Says... (fwd)

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

I remember the last game waa called off in the third quarter because it was being played in what could have been passed off as a  monsoon.  You're right those games were a lot of fun.  I think that the pros in that era probably had more fun too,  But then the money wasn't what it is today.
