This game was an embarrassment to NW and should never have been played in the first place. An NU/ Oregon St Fiesta Bowl could have been one a hell of a ball game. But thanks to ND's Uncle Enus exemption, CFB fans where given the pleasure of watching two lopsided, god awful match-ups instead of a bowl season with well contested games that fans could actually get excited about. O what could have been... Seriously though does anyone else remember, didn't ABC cut the end of the Alamo Bowl because the whooping had gotten that bad?
As for the poll question. No the NU "battle" isn't worthy of a rivalry game, because Northwestern isn't worthy of one.
