I can see how you might be confused on that, TCM, what with both teams’ names ending in “State” and all.  But I was going for the best team I could find, not a one-time regional powerhouse who has been subsequently humbled by tougher competition and some uneven recruiting.

Easy mistake to make.

Maybe you should’ve linked to some team that’s actually won a national title recently instead of getting drubbed in their recent BCS appearances. Ya know, an LSU or Florida would’ve worked.

If one is attempting to draw fans in Noo Yawk to a college football game, one is just about obligated to have ND as one of the teams; one can assume the presence of ND’s famed “subway alumni” in a city that actually has, you know, subways!  (Featuring Rutgers ain’t gonna cut it…)

Me, I root for Mizzou (alma mater) and for Arkansas State (long-time employer), and have no desire whatsoever to see the inside of Yankee Stadium except on TV!

Boy, Army-ND would have been a pretty cool game 60 or 70 years ago. Maybe next year they can schedule a Harvard-Yale game to make things *really* exciting.

Burns: Honestly, Smithers, I don’t even know why Harvard continues to show up. Why, they barely even won.

A corrupt, overrated team playing in front of insufferable, obnoxious fans? In Yankee Stadium?!

Crap! You mean my WAC and Great West allegiances won’t fly here? That’s just ridiculous.

No, I guess you’re right, smestsnor: ALL the other teams proclaim to a bastion of virtue while looking the other way when a booster embezzled money and lavished it (among other things) on the players, or have coaches physically abuse the players. My bad.
