    Grant-

    Thought of you yesterday when I read about the Holiday Bowl extending it's agreement with Pac-10/Big 12...

    What struck me is that Pac-10 #2 continues to be stacked up against Big12 #4, despite the fact that the west coast has done so well in the postseason of late.

    What gives?? Might make for an article topic sometime. You'd be well-equipped to address.

    Also, thought I'd share my ND thoughts with you before heading to the big game: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/271813-notre-dame-dilemma-charlie-weis-career-tied-to-jimmy-clausen-not-usc

    Take care.

    Clausen and Best better go to NYC.

    Jimmy Clausen has been the best quarterback in the past 240 minutes of college football. Will he be invited to New York this year, or will the Tebow's of the nation get their pre-reserved seats?

    Don't be shy.

    sounds great!

    I'll try to have my next piece around tomorrow so you can take a look; school has been kicking my ass a little bit, and I've been having computer problems.
