Off Topic I realized too late that I had forgotten the Purdue win. Happens to programs like theirs ya know ;~) As far as Nebraska whompin on the Vols, I agree. Peyton Manning will wish he'd been home with Da-da after the beating he'll get from the Husker pass rush. I sure hope the Bears don't draft him. I'd rather take a Ryan Leaf, Charles Woodson or the Griese boy for that matter. We'll just have to wait to see the hand McCasky plays. He doesn't have a good record so far. MARCH MADNESS is just around the corner! Line up your "bookies" early! Buzz PS Take a look at NWCI and let me know what you think.
