ehh, whatever. Up until a week ago I'd never heard of this (raised in Missouri first 16 years of my life), and I'm sure Whitlock hadn't either.

His whole "These two states hate eachother, it goes back 200 years....yadda yadda slavery." is nowhere near "hitting the nail on the head."

THe game will be great because it's #4 v. #2 or whatever. Not because "ZOMG SLAVERYYYYY 20 YEARS AGO!!!"

I would be willing to bet that Whitlock indeed did know something about this prior to just a few days ago.

fwiw i don't think they're supposed to be handicapping these events. it's pretty clear they're taking a fan's point of view on these events.

Even if that is the case, Kornheiser(sp?) isn't off by that much (relatively speaking of course). 3.5 point fav wins about 65% off the top of my head.

On ESPN tonight, Lou Holtz said that if Notre Dame loses to Michigan on Saturday, they'd have a tough time making a BCS Bowl. I'm not making that up. Look in the Week 3 college football thread for confirmation.
