You can keep Barry "Backstabber"

So you stake claims to UW's successes because Barry has some vague, inconsequential, unconfirmed possible side-way connections to Nebraska but any other time he's a traitor?

You're a fickle bunch.

Condalezza Rice? What?

 

[StPaulHusker]

The only issues I see with the list is for me I would rather not see a sitting AD as the chairman. They have a team AND conference in the discussion and that shouldn't be right.

It happens all the time with the NCAA Basketball Tournament selection committee, but this is slightly different with only 4 teams in the "playoff".
