My alma mater competed recently in a "Rose Bowl" football game! It was neat! ("Bowl" games are like normal college football games, except they're played in "bowl"-type stadiums, just like normal college football games!)
I identify myself with the "Fighting Illini", based in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where I don't live, which features players drawn almost entirely from Washington, D.C. The coach is from Ohio! So we're all Americans!
Last night, a rival team from another university scored a LOT more football points! I booed this, heartily!
Fortunately, since universities remain, ostensibly, educational institutions, there is another score to consider! The University of Illinois' libary contains more than 10 MILLION BOOKS! The University of Southern California has FOUR million! That's a pretty big spread!
Football points favored USC by 32.
Final Cumulative Score: Illinois wins by 5,999,968! Oskee-wow-wow!
I made a little goalpost out of card-catalog cards and tore it down.
Yeah, I was dissapointed in the fact that it appears "Juice" has never read any of those books on what to do when being chased by a member of another university...
Watch for a spin on this post following Saturday's Seattle vs Washington (as in DC) NFL game...
