Nebraska at Kansas State. In the
Immortd words of The Clash, "It has
been sucstcd In some quarters" that
Nebraska's offense could have taken
Grenada quicker than the US. task
force assigned to the job.
I disagree for two reasons: 1) The
team would be playing on the road and
2) Grenada has natural turf. After all,
look at all the trouble the Huskcrs had
down at Missouri.
Thirds look dim for the Wildcats.
They'll be lucky if they can hold out
until the second ballot: Nebraska 49,
Elic&l can at Illinois: This will be the
btest game for Illinois since they
played (and defeated) Ohio State two
weeks ego.
This game figures to be very close
and should go right down to the last
few minutes, but my crystal ball

verine victory. Ulchlssn 23. Illinois

Penn Ctate at Dcstca College; The
Lions, formerly the hunted, have now
become the hunters and ere on the
prowl for the Eagle3.
But the Eagles, led by Doug Flutie,
have had a pretty good year them
selves. But not even Flutie can help
the Eagles in this one: Penn State 34,
Boston Collese 23.
Allen poll' scans sportsland
Ah, it's good to be on the sports page,
where Beirut and Grenada seem a mil
lion miles away, where the results of
last night's game are nore important
than the unemployment rate, and the
toughest question you have to answer
is who hit the first grand-slam home
run in World Series play?
But even in the seeming simplicity of,
the sporting world, some questions do
come up for debate:
1 ' ; . Bill
v Allen
Doss the latest controversial Penn
State victory (against Alabama) show
the need for an instant-replay system
to over-ride officials' decisions?
Are drus ruining the reputation of
professional sports?
Do we need a college football playoff
system to determine a national cham
pionship? There ere good arguments bcthwsys
on 'all cfthcro questions, and fm not a '
master debater, so I conducted a ran
dom survey of UNL students to see
what you thought about each of these
issues. v
The results showed conclusively that
no conclusive conclusion could be
concluded.
They abo showed that the average
UNL student doesnt know much about ,
sports. But anyway, UNL, here's what
you thought.
On the Penn State issue:
47 percent thought Penn State
was a brand of motor oil endorsed by
Arnold Palmer.
22 percent thought the referee
who made the calls (first against NU
and then against Alabama)' should
donate the money he received from
Coach Joe Paterno to charity.
11 percent couldn't believe they
were really talking to Bill Allen and
asked for an autograph, which I gave
them, of course, for only $1 each.
1 0 percent said "No, thank you I'm
not relious." .
9 percent said "No, thank you, I'm
a Democrat"
; And ens guy actually said yes, he
thought a review system would be
beneficial, as long as it has set limita
tions and did not interfere with the
flow of the game.
On the drugs question:
42 percent refused to answer until
they had talked to their lawyers, and
furthermore, demanded to see a search
warrant
31 percent said if they made
$100,000 ayear they would buy cocaine,
too.
1 2 percent said it showed a lack of
responsibility on the part of the play
ers, moral corruption, and that yes, it
definitely hurt the reputation of the
sport.
10 percent agreed with the pre
vious 12 percent.
5 percent offered me a joint
A couple of days later, I went on to
the third question.
After the first two questions, seeing
that a random survey gave fairly dis
torted results, I worked out what is
known in the survey business as a
demographic breakdown. Of 100 stu
dents, I polled 40 whom I knew were
"fcr.owted sabls about sports; 1 5 soror-
ity women, 20 agriculture students, 15
international students, and 10 of my
old girlfriends.
Even then the results weren't star
tling when I asked them ifthereshould
be a playoff system to determine a
national champion:
40 percent said a playoff system
would settle once and for all who was
the best team in the country, and the
biggest problem would be determining
who made the playoffs.
15 percent said they never knew
what to wear to football games, and
wasn't it great the way those bug lugs
looked in tight pants.
20 percent said a football field was
a waste of good farmland.
15 percent said soccer was the
only real sport, except war.
Finally, 10 percent wanted to know
when I was going to pay back all the
money I owed them. I offered to make
it up in autographs.
Mostly, the surveys showed that in
sports you dont have to make sense,
you just enjoy them.
