Ouch! ::blushing furiously::

I was about to come clean about it, honest, but I forgot: I don't know
beans about college football. My grandfather played at Clemson - or
rather (depending on who tells the story) once almost met someone who
thought about trying to make the practice team* - but the college scene
is too difficult to follow overseas. I have a pretty good handle on the
pros, though, not to mention an exhaustive knowledge of the Swiss
League! 

The worst of it: I notice that being an expert on college ball seems to
be the token of a true connoisseur. Like wearing a masonic ring or being
able to explain semiotics. Once again, I'm stuck on the wrong side of
the fence ... <moping>
