Consider it done, sir.

By the way, I always considered the annual Ohio State-Michigan football game one of the very best in the country (no matter how high or low the teams were ranked), and of course always favored Ohio State.

Why? A University of Nebraska graduate?

Uh, part of the "culture" here in Nebraska. For decades, for whatever reasons, the Omaha World-Herald kidnapped sports-writers from Ohio, who naturally liked Ohio State, and infused the rest of us with their enthusiasm--and so I grew up knowing more about Ohio State, than any other team other than, of course, Nebraska.....and Oklahoma.

Ohio State has always gotten very good press in Nebraska.

However, after Frank Solich was so crudely fired--the then-winningest active coach in college football (Robert Stoops of Oklahoma had been gaining on him, but was not quite there, at the time)--I chucked my two red-and-white University of Nebraska diplomas into the trash.

[censored]; Big Red is dead.

I have "transferred" my "allegiance" to the University of Ohio (which many might not know is NOT Ohio State, by the way), which so perceptively saw the character, the values, the solidity, the integrity, the talents, of Frank Solich, and hired him as coach.....but also in the meantime, I'll be cheering on Ohio State (just not as enthusiastically as the University of Ohio).
