LIBEL! GROSS MIS-ATTRIBUTION! IS THERE A LAWYER ON THE NET! The quote attributed to me (below) is most emphatically not mine. I'm generally a lot more careful about semantics (I'm a writer by training, trade, inclination) and wouldn't have let myself be *quite* so wide open to counter-attack -- at least without meaning to invite one. Apology will be accepted, if offered. -- Jim Brunet ("Can't these Sooner Boomers even shoot straight?") >>>someone earlier said michigan was two field goals from a perfect season and >>>a nat'l championship. hell, they were also a few field goals from >>>a so-so season and dropping out of the top 10. >>> (Jim Brunet) >> >>Name the games which Michigan would have lost if the opposition scored >>three more points. >> Aha. I think that Jim would give both field goals to Nebraska, whom Michigan only beat by 4 points. That would put Michigan at 9-2-1. Therefore, UCLA (also 9-2-1) had a "so-so season" this year. Not only that, but UCLA had an easier schedule (see the article on opponents' winning percentages), and should therefore not be in the top 10, either. -- Chris
