Harvard vs. Yale as a big game? Fah! Those Ivy-League bozos
would be pounded into tiny little bits by the wimpiest team in the Big
Ten, Pac-Ten, or any other conference worth its salt.
The Big Game 'round these parts (outside of Michigan-Ohio State)
is Purdue vs. Notre Scum. If we win that, and go 0 and N for the rest of
the season, it's still a good year.
Any team with a religious statue off its end zone *deserves* to
get trashed. Here's wishing Gerry Faust year after year of 0 and 10 seasons.
Kick ass, Boilermakers!

Darth Wombat (I hope it isn't "Dingbat" for short!(Hee-Hee)): Ivy league football (and halftimes: great band shows) is fun to watch. Purdue is really scum. Any football team that has to pay off the refs for 3, count'em, THREE years (1979-1981, I believe) to beat a team that eventually lost more than 30 in a row, is really, really SCUM. You check those three years; I may be off by one, but it was a three year string of questionable calls in the NU-Purdue games that got Purdue (or Bird-Dew for short; they sound alike and are alike) off the hook. Anyways, the big game that I'm aware of in the Big Ten (besides Mich-OSU) is (I'm including games that have only one pBig Ten participating) Iowa vs. Iowa State (otherwise known as the Kelloggs, aka the Corn Bowl). In the year that Iowa lost the Rose Bowl to Washington, one of the Hawkeyes said that after beating Iowa State, the Hawkeyes reached their peak and the Rose Bowl was secondary. Spoken like a true, stupid Iowan! This statement may be true for wrestling, but never, never for football. Beating Iowa State is more important than beating Nebraska or winning the Big Ten and being in the Rose Bowl? Hah! Scott Pector Go Northwestern Wildcats!

A couple of years ago, the Big Game at Michigan was Slippery Rock vs. Shippensburg State. It seems that the U. of Michigan crowds got such a kick out of the Slippery Rock scores that the AD at U. of Michigan (Don Canham) invited these two schools to play their game at Ann Arbor (seating capacity over 100,000 people) on a weekend when the U. of Michigan team was playing an away game. The two schools were guaranteed a certain amount and any other proceeds would go to the U. of Michigan Marching Band to cover its expenses. Well, on the BIG weekend, I believe there were over 60,000 people at the game. Everybody won. Scott Pector
