To the victors, valiant, Hail! To the conqu’ring heroes Hail! Hail! To Michigan the leaders and best Hail! To the victors, valiant, Hail! To the conqu’ring heroes Hail! Hail!

I feel silly posting this, but here goes: On, on, U of K We are right for the fight today Hold that ball and hit that line Ev’ry Wildcat star will shine We’ll fight, fight, fight For the blue and white As we roll to that goal, varsity And we’ll kick, pass and run 'Til the battle is won And we’ll bring home the victory (I would like to point out that we have won a national championship. Beat OU in 1950.) We’re gonna get killed against Georgia. ---

I don’t pay much heed to big time sports anymore. The players are mostly spoiled brats and the owners, or athletic directors for colleges, are a bunch of greedy bastards. However, I’m always glad when Iowa beats Minnestoa. During the 1930’s I used to listen to Dutch Reagan broadcast the Iowa games on WHO Des Moines. That was the time of those Bernie Bierman national chanpionship Minnesota teams. The Golden Gophers habitually scored 50 points while Iowa looked on. It was sickening and it marked me for life. ---

OK, so my roommate had to spend last weekend in Iowa City last week, and had a few evenings out to bars for dinner and drinks. One thing leads to another, and it becomes clear that a few of his group were from my alma mater. Before I tell you what school this is, understand that Iowa and my school do not get along very nicely at all. They are not the “rivaly week” matchup, but the animosity is pretty intense for both football and basketball. Under normal ciscumstances there would have been alot of ribbing going on and alot of fairly intense trash talk regarding decades of past events. However on this occasion, the Iowa fans simply shook they heads and didn;t say much at all. Mostly saying “Sorry man, it’s gotta be tough” and “everyone has times like these”. Please tell me that my beloved Illini haven’t fallen this far. Please. ---

Well, the spirit is a good so far, but there isn’t enought rivalry yet. For example: Q:How do you get am Osu PHD alum to leave you alone? A: Just pay him for the damn pizza. ---

The Old Oaken bucket rivalry is today. The spread favors Purdue by 24.5 points. That spread is not enough, though. The Loosiers must lose so badly that they feel they are inconsequential to the rest of the earth. They must feel the pain of Purdue’s gut wrenching, overtime loss to OSU. My humble prediction: Purdue 52, IU 7 Go Boilers! ---

Sigh. I have to go to the in-laws today so Ivylad and his dad can watch OSU whoop up on—oops, _play_ Michigan. 😃 I will take MIL out of the house to go shopping. I hope we can return safely to find two very happy men. Otherwise, it’s “Run Mom! Get out of the house! Get out of the house now!” ---

Iowa marched up and down the field at will but couldn’t score. Illinois’ Perry Moss made **one** scoring drive in the whole game and won 7 zip. Then Illinois went on to beat UCLA in the first Big Ten-PCC Rose Bowl, 48-14. ---

**Zoe** : You forgot to include Vandy’s fight song: Dynamite, Dynamite When Vandy hits the field it’s dynamite (It goes somethin’ like that) My best buddy is a Vandy grad that came to Auburn for his degree in Vet medicine. We were neighbors way back then. Vandy is my “second team”. I feel sorry for them. I went to this year’s Auburn/Vandy game in Nashville, and it looked like 75% of the people in the stands were Auburn folks. One of my favorite college game memories: Back in the mid-seventies, I was at the game when Tennessee’s Big Orange came to Nashville to play Vandy. Displayed on the side of a dorm, on a huge sheet, was the following message: “Orange on back Red on neck Ain’t worth a sheet”. Let’s pull 'em both through today! ---
