I might start taking the Moneyline on Washington State each week when they are home. They are beating Oregon right now in Pullman.

hate is such a strong word

I think most of the guys on the team are actually likeable (except Zmikowski or whoever's name I just butchered).
In addition, about half of the students/alums from there are good people in my eyes. The other half are a bit tainted by being born into privelege...oh well

I don't like the military-industrial complex built up around ND. They just happen to fit ESPN and every other network's sports marketing of making a hero/villain. They focus the attention like Yankees baseball and Duke basketball. This creates overexposure and overanalysis. I was upset to see so many authoritative books by and about Charlie Weis at the bookstore the other day, but that's not really his fault. I'm upset that he's the greatest thing since sliced bread since there are other coaches doing an excellent job and not getting the same white gloves treatment.

Hate is strong

that's because Urlacher eats babies and Grossman was Foley's personal page (and he liked it [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img])

Rutgers moves to 7-0. They play UCONN next week who is 105th in the nation against the run. I'm thinkin RU should be 17th next week. God this is a great run. Real test is November 9th against UL. UL will be coming off a game against WVU. Maybe the SUNJ can get a win that week.

Edited to add that this is also why it people with strong negative feelings towards nd don't really bother me
